Their track ‘All I Want’ soundtracks Google’s Zeitgeist 2012: Year In Review Ad, the video for which makes it into our top ten tracks of the year…we caught up with Kodaline to see what goes on in their world.

US: Who came up with the idea for the video for ‘All I Want’, can you tell us more about it?
