Keep Moving is the fifth album by the British ska band Madness from 1984. It was the last Madness album prior to their 1999 comeback album Wonderful to feature Mike Barson.
The US/Canadian pressing had a different running order and included the singles "Wings of a Dove" and "The Sun and the Rain", neither of which were on the standard UK version. However, a picture disc version using the US/Canadian track listing was issued in the UK.
The album takes its name from a phrase used repeatedly in the 1970 post-apocalyptic film The Bed Sitting Room.[3]

"Keep Moving" is the lead single released from the soundtrack of the film 4.3.2.1. The song is performed by Adam Deacon and Bashy, and features vocals from English recording artist Paloma Faith. The track was written and produced by Alex "Cores" Hayes, and was released on 28 May 2010. The song reworks Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner". The song also acts as the first single to be taken from Deacon's debut studio record, Kreative Koncepts, due for release in 2013.
Nick Mason and Phil Tidy, producers of the film, were approached by Maya Jenkins at Universal Pictures, who offered to help with the promotion of the film soundtrack. They came up with the idea of releasing a mainstream tie-in video for the track, featuring Paloma Faith, and an underground internet video, which features Deacon and Bashy only. The song was written and produced by Alex "Cores" Hayes, who also features in the video. The video was directed by Nick Mason, and produced by Phil Tidy. Shot on location in the Sanctum Soho Hotel in London’s glittering West End, where parts of the film were also shot, Phil and Nick shot on Red Cam anamorphic lenses, so it would cut in as best as possible with the movie footage.
In the Clear is the fifth studio album by American indie pop band Ivy, released on March 1, 2005 on Nettwerk.
All tracks written by Ivy and produced by Steve Osborne.
Hurry up, don't slow down
Pick a time, don't let hands pull you down
If you're waiting
Have it up, move along
Say, goodbye, don't let words stay too long
If you're leaving
It read, "We missed you"
Between the lines it said, "Hold it high with a smile
Speak out loud with the mind of a child, if you're lucky"
It read, "We missed you"
Between the lines it said, "Hurry up"
We really must be going there's no time to delay
We have to leave our message because we can't stay
It really is important so remember take care
Please keep on moving 'cause there's nobody there
It read, "We missed you"
Between the lines it said, "We've waited for so long
But now it's time t-t-to keep moving along"
Here and there are the signs on the road
Give way to stop and go when you're moving
It read, "We missed you"
Between the lines it said, "We've waited for so long
But now it's time to to to keep moving along"
Keep moving, you've got to keep moving
Keep, keep, you've got to keep moving
