I would listen to this while laying next to my husband who was going through stage 4 cancer. I only wanted to soak up every moment with him and forget the world. 12 years post stem cell transplant, he is still with me and we will celebrate 42 years in June. I still want to soak up every moment with him.
Makes me cry.. My wife passed away in June 2007 and now my little 13 year baby passes away in 2016..life is not fair. A beautifull song that brings memories down my cheeks. Rest In Peace my angels.
My brother pass away last June, he loves this song, I can't help but crying anytime I heard this.Brother I love you so much... until the next meeting!!!
My Dad is an Army veteran. He was right there by my mom's side to care for her as she lost her battle with lung and brain cancer. They were married 52 years at the time my Mom crossed over to be with Jesus. Hard to believe it's been almost 7yrs since we lost my mom. Next year 2025 would make 60 yrs of marriage. My Dad will be 84 soon and is still going strong. God bless you!
It is the bravest thing one can ever do. My Daddy died 2 years ago, I took care of him for 7 years 24/7. He had Alzheimer’s. I would do it again. My Father was born in Budapest, Hungary. During the 1956 Revolution he fought against the Russians who Invaded his country. He had to flee his homeland, and after many months of hiding and traveling he made it to Ellis Island and began his journey, of learning English, how to survive, and the fact that he would never see his family ever again But he had drive, pride, and never gave up when working. Later he owned his own business, built half of the building in San Jose, CA., and lived a very comfortable life. He is my Hero.
The love of my life died in a truck accident in January- this was his song to me… Thank you my darlin for loving me - you showed me love was real ❤ Always yours xxxx
The love of my life passed away last year. We were best friends from the age of 15 and 16. This was the last song she sent me. We were going to get married. She got sick. She's gone now. I understand your pain 🤎
My 50 year old metalhead self only really heard this song for the first time a few days ago and was absolutely floored... For me the song is such a potent reminder of misplaced love that played out in a misspent youth, chasing things impossible in the end.
Haha. Much love to you brother. Here I am as a 18 year old who listens to a variety of music, but heavy death metal is very relaxing ( for some reason ). BUT, this song gives me goosebumps immediately… from beginning to end. It’s beautiful. I love it.
The 2007 version of "Chasing Cars" is one of the most beautiful videos made. Raw emotion that rings so true to the soul. His hands...his mouth...his eyes...his voice...the need...is breathtaking. Will always stay with me. Definitely will always be on my top 10 list.
I lost my husband to small cell lung cancer a year and a half ago. This song was a reminder that we were each other’s safe haven from the world outside. I can’t listen to it without missing him.
is a song/track about finding the strength to stay in a relationship despite outside pressures and challenges. The lyrics refer to wanting to create their own unique life and world, and forgo the expectations placed on them by the world. The refrain of the chorus, "If I lay here/if I just lay here/would you lie with me and just forget the world?" captures the central sentiment of the song - escaping from the world and its demands in order to focus on the relationship. Ultimately, it is a song about the special bond shared between two people who stay faithful and devoted to each other despite the trials they face and the outside pressures they experience.
Just no words. It is a song hat has meant so much through many years. I am truly blessed to have a wife who has gone through so much with me. We will forever appreciate this song & hold hands through life. What more could I ask for?
I used to sing this song before he died 8yrs ago last week before he died he wanted me to sing this &run he said remember even if I can't see him he will always be with me I hope so my son is now fighting cancer again first this time leukemia while working with farm animals pesticides cleaning up with chemicals this I need all the strength to go back he needs me I know how you are grieving don't know how long I am sorry for your grief
It’s almost 2024. First time heard it in 2007. Brings a lot of good memories back then, especially memories with someone that you love, who had passed away. Stay healthy and enjoy live to its fullest ❤️
as I held my son in my arms knowing he was never going to recover from his injuries from the car accident, I cried because I knew I'd never see his Smile again, I'd never hear his voice again, I'd never feel his super tight hugs again, this song came on and I knew at that very moment he was going to leave me forever to chase cars like he did when he was a little boy on his bicycle...I Miss him so much, I Lubb Yew Jonathan Neal to the Moooon & Back, to the Moooon & Back....Da'Mommmie
I can't believe how upset I've become at reading some of the comments here. I hope those of you who suffered loss have gotten through your bereavement. Bless you all.
My husband passed away in May of 2022. The words I said to him as he passed from this life to the next can be summed up in a nutshell by the lyrics of this song. How I miss just laying there and looking up at the world…no one else around but the two of us.
This came out the year after my husband passed from matastized kidney cancer. I would lay with him wondering what he was thinking… Thank you for this song! ALWAYS makes me think of him..even all these years later ❤️
Exactly I am so sick of every one saying that snowpatrol is in the illuminati as long with linken park ,Sia Gwen Stefano than worth liberals control over the media &Hollywood's involvement in this pedophilia & how Oprah &Obama has a strange mind control over the blacks &brown people ignorant of the fact that the dems haven't figured out that they aren't getting anywere they think they dumb down the blacks ,&brown to get their vote
Gotta go for it. Life’s too short to not have another half. I pray you have courage to find your special one, and keep them. Love might not last forever, but forever can last in love.
This is a magical song. So many people can connect to it and it seems to open up memories that were lost. Thanks for writing this song, it means a lot to me.
When my husband was in the hospital and we didn’t knw what was gona happen I’d just listen to this song and pray and cry I’d get more time with him 🥺 thank god he’s still here with me chasing cars 🥹❤
I heard this by accident actually on XM and was completely floored by it. How did I miss this all these years. A very very moving song with a haunting melody
หลายเดือนก่อน
I wish I could be you and find this for the first time again.
It was autumn 1985 we just layed there in the sun no shirts on either of us, just skin, colorful leaves and golden sunshine. Best moments ever i will never forget. Thank you TOH
I sang this song to my husband on his deathbed, we were both crying especially the garden bursting in life, that was always a special time when we walk through my flower garden, I hope we'll get to do again I miss our little talks, Gary looks just like him, so every night I watch this, I don't ever want to forget what he looked like, I can't let go
+Science Freak Thankyou I was starting to heal than my stepson Brooks started to text me for11days telling me before my husband died he said he regretted staying with me I if he made it he was going to divorce me,I can't seem to get out of this awful night mare he told me constantly how much he loved me,I don't know what to believe
@@johnniemills9905 yes I just don't have any interest in another man I tried to date but it's not fair to take up someone's time when you know it will never go any further
This song always takes me back to 2008. Catching a late-night train from Town hall Sydney to Revesby on the way back from uni. Listening to this song on quite train. I can't believe its been 16 years
I wish to turn back the time to the good old days. It makes me cry remembering all those wonderful and innocent memories shared with my cousins and friends when we are young just playing without worrying anything. Life is both great and depressing sometimes.
This song popped-up in my mind when my mother was hospitalized after a severe stroke. She could not move her arms, her legs, she could not swallow and barely talk. They only thing she could do was just lay there: “If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?”. A few days later she died of a pulmonary embolism. Two months after that, my little boy had played with the radio and had probably turned on the timer/alarm function. Somewhere in the middle of the night I heard music playing. As I went downstairs in the dark to turn it off, I heard that same song again: “If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?”. I like to think that this was not a coincidence…
My great grandmother suffered a severe stroke when I was right at about 14 years old, it destroyed her and confined her to a wheel chair and unable to speak intelligibility. I was only able to get her to say "I love telephone" and she cried while saying it, she knew that it wasn't what she had meant. Thankfully, she passed peacefully in her sleep. It was sad to see such a strong willed woman lose all of her independence.
Wow that’s amazing. Most definitely not a coincidence. Ive worked with the elderly before, and I really believe that the very young and they very old have a close connection to each other. They each have a closer connection to God, becuase they were just with him, or will be soon, and it is real shame that we lose it throughout our lives. This is a beautiful story, and I hope both your mom and your little boy are doing well
This song always makes me think of my favorite nurse. She worked at my school and was like a mom to me. I miss her every day. I actually wanted her to adopt me because I’m in foster care, but it wasn’t possible. This is her theme song, and now, I listen to it to feel closer to her.
Dundee born a bred this song? Reminds me of a time when life here seemed a bit simpler. Take me back ❤ glad you found inspiration here! ❤️🏴🙌🏻💥🕰️👋🏻❤️🩹🔥💪🏻
The most pure song ever written. Gary is just a genius and we are all living in the time where he and his immeasurable talent exist!!! Rather easy on the eye too! ♥️
I realize “chasing cars” refers to something else, but I always imagine just lying next to that special someone, talking about nothing special, but feeling that connection - almost as though the deepest parts of you are physically connected.
Today l can listen to.this without tears,just to remember this was the last song l sang to my dying husband. As scared as l am about this elelction this song reminded me he said ill always be with you l promise first time since he died l dont have that empty feeling thats how peaceful & honest that song makes me feel.
i get chills down my body every time i hear this song because it reminds me of the saddest time in my life. People have gone through so much worse but i will still share. I was so depressed in quarter 3 of school. I was tired of getting rejected. I thought the world was against me. I cried everyday, listened to sad music and looked up depressing quotes. it got so bad i cut myself and no one asked about it. This made me think no one cared. i often though of the easiest ways to die. Then someone i will never forget. A friend that is so caring, loving, and sweet. I dont know what i would do without her. i cryed so hard writing this comment.
when my husband was dying of Agent Orange..., this always played when I was driving back & fourth to the hospital. He passed 5/27/2007. I had this played at his funeral. We were together for 34 years.
My dads funeral song 😢 he said when he laid in those hospital beds all them years all he wanted to do was see his garden busting into life again with his wife (my mother) I love you dad R.I.P.
I almost lost my parents and cousin in a car crash a few months back, we were all on a family holiday in the highlands as we wanted a break from the city life in Edinburgh, when I heard the news I had a listen to this song as it is a favourite of mine and I truly feel this song helped bring them back home that night. God bless all
The morning my husband asked me to call Hospice than he wanted me to lay down next to him & sing this song & remember when my flowers bloom he will walk through with me to see my garden in the morning. I don't think I'll ever get over that last moment.
My husband beat cancer and has two hernias and has to have major surgery next year. I just lay in bed at night hoping and praying God doesn't take him.
the #1 song i listen to when driving, just never get tired of it. Its just so beautiful and touchingly deep in the melancholy of the voice that sings it.
An amazing song. Love the group and this one of my favorite songs of all time. The song is saying enjoy your life and your loved ones. And just forget about everything else.
I honestly think this is single handidly the greatest song ever written, 12 years later and everytime I listen to it I feel like im listening to it for the first time
Back in 2007 the company I’ve been working for the last 13 years was restructuring. This song reminds me of the good times we had and the eventualities of seeing my colleagues for the last time.
It was at the Old Ground hotel in Ennis Ireland 2003. We slow danced to this song, i held her for the 1st time. I fell in love the more we danced to this song. But she belonged to another as did i. Every time i hear this song it beings me back.
I would listen to this while laying next to my husband who was going through stage 4 cancer. I only wanted to soak up every moment with him and forget the world. 12 years post stem cell transplant, he is still with me and we will celebrate 42 years in June. I still want to soak up every moment with him.
love to you and your husband
Hope he gets better
❤️❤️ I hope he recovers x
Prayers for you and your husband. I hope he gets ok.
That is the most gorgeous connection to a song I've ever heard, love both of you 💕
Reminder for future generations: Do not let this legendary song die.
We won't.
Still here . Such a song .Perfectly flawed
Never
Never
Ofccc
IT’S 2024 AND YES I’LL STILL BE LAYING HERE WITH YOU BABY.
❤
Que lindo o amor e companheirismo de voceis...que o amor de voceis seja eterno❤
Rest In Peace My Beloved Best Friend Miss Universe Geneva Lopez 🙏
Very moving song. I'm crying thinking about everyone I've lost.
Probably the most honest, purest and innocent love song ever written.
I totally agree with you..
100%true
This is a real touch song.
Listen to How he loves by john mark macmillan - and his testimony to how it was written.
Thats a kind of love that few will ever know
It's clearly a song written by a dog to its human, which, yes, makes it the purest, truest love song ever.
still one of the most beautiful songs ever created, after all these years i still get goosebumps when i hear it. Amazing
Me 2! Goosebumps an amazing one. That will last forever
Saw them twice play this breathtaking Gary's a great oerformer too

Ela é maravilhosa,sempre consigo me acalmar mesmo com todas minhas terríveis tempestades internas...sem palavras...obrigado pela canção ❤
Makes me cry.. My wife passed away in June 2007 and now my little 13 year baby passes away in 2016..life is not fair. A beautifull song that brings memories down my cheeks. Rest In Peace my angels.
Geo M. So sorry for your loss. My wife of 26 years passed away 3-8-18. So difficult as u know.
Hey mate, sorry to hear your loss. Always remember to keep your head up and look forward in life. There are many good things to happen to you.
I’m so sorry. Rip
So sorry you have this pain to go through, love to you and yours in hope it can be of some help.

Still listening to this, March 2024. It's all I need atm. Love & Hope. For everyone. ❤
Same. Hugs.

I've said it before - my dad laid by my mum in their bed as she died. Despite being wounded many times in WWII, it was the bravest thing he ever did.
Bless you

You have it the same feeling ever time I watch this
His mouth is cute
Aww his hands and fingers are so cute 😍 😢 😭 💕 💖 💗 😍
There's just something about him, besides looking like my late husband. He somehow makes me feel that my husband is by my side.
His feet and toes are adorably super sweet
Seriously, just one of the most heart-wrenching and heartbreaking songs around.

Go for it. Go crazy, take risks. Be human, make mistakes, make friendships, move, vibrate, and feel the energy of a warm body to hold.
This is a legendary song. If anyone says it's bad, they're lying
This song is repetitive af what are you talking about
i dont like this song and im not lying.
i mean it's alright but far from snow patrol's best tbh
Exactly I am so sick of every one saying that snowpatrol is in the illuminati as long with linken park ,Sia Gwen Stefano than worth liberals control over the media &Hollywood's involvement in this pedophilia & how Oprah &Obama has a strange mind control over the blacks &brown people ignorant of the fact that the dems haven't figured out that they aren't getting anywere they think they dumb down the blacks ,&brown to get their vote

The 2nd version of The Snow Patrol makes my heart of a song’s companion. 😌
Can't thank you enough for this masterpiece. This and Our House, for me, are the best songs EVER written.
Always tear up when I hear this song… our first concert seeing Snow Patrol when we started dating…
Gotta go for it. Life’s too short to not have another half. I pray you have courage to find your special one, and keep them.
Love might not last forever, but forever can last in love.
This is a magical song. So many people can connect to it and it seems to open up memories that were lost. Thanks for writing this song, it means a lot to me.

They only thing she could do was just lay there: “If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?”. A few days later she died of a pulmonary embolism.

This song always makes me think of my favorite nurse. She worked at my school and was like a mom to me. I miss her every day. I actually wanted her to adopt me because I’m in foster care, but it wasn’t possible. This is her theme song, and now, I listen to it to feel closer to her.
Congrats you have created one of the best songs ever written
Childhood song so many memories
Dundee born a bred this song? Reminds me of a time when life here seemed a bit simpler. Take me back ❤ glad you found inspiration here! ❤️🏴🙌🏻💥🕰️👋🏻❤️🩹🔥💪🏻
So much light in this song, and so much pain. It is enlighting.
This video was no.1 in VH1 top videos of the decade 😍
The most pure song ever written. Gary is just a genius and we are all living in the time where he and his immeasurable talent exist!!! Rather easy on the eye too! ♥️
Para todos os meus conflitos....existe essa canção para me fazer lembrar que ta tudo bem...mesmo em meio ao caos❤
I realize “chasing cars” refers to something else, but I always imagine just lying next to that special someone, talking about nothing special, but feeling that connection - almost as though the deepest parts of you are physically connected.
I cry everytime l hear this song the last i sang to my husband before hospice came for him. He told to remember these words when im gone.

Today l can listen to.this without tears,just to remember this was the last song l sang to my dying husband. As scared as l am about this elelction this song reminded me he said ill always be with you l promise first time since he died l dont have that empty feeling thats how peaceful & honest that song makes me feel.
i get chills down my body every time i hear this song because it reminds me of the saddest time in my life. People have gone through so much worse but i will still share. I was so depressed in quarter 3 of school. I was tired of getting rejected. I thought the world was against me. I cried everyday, listened to sad music and looked up depressing quotes. it got so bad i cut myself and no one asked about it. This made me think no one cared. i often though of the easiest ways to die. Then someone i will never forget. A friend that is so caring, loving, and sweet. I dont know what i would do without her. i cryed so hard writing this comment.
when my husband was dying of Agent Orange..., this always played when I was driving back & fourth to the hospital. He passed 5/27/2007. I had this played at his funeral. We were together for 34 years.
what a beatiful song definitly one of my favourites on all time
My dads funeral song 😢 he said when he laid in those hospital beds all them years all he wanted to do was see his garden busting into life again with his wife (my mother) I love you dad R.I.P.
My big brother, my best friend... i should have been with you that night and layed whith you in that car... i wasn't. Miss you so much! ❤😢🙏
In 2022 wow. Still I remember this beautiful song. Love From India. 😘😘😘
Oh My God!!! I Found It!!! This song causes the deepest emotion I ever had.
I almost lost my parents and cousin in a car crash a few months back, we were all on a family holiday in the highlands as we wanted a break from the city life in Edinburgh, when I heard the news I had a listen to this song as it is a favourite of mine and I truly feel this song helped bring them back home that night. God bless all
The morning my husband asked me to call Hospice than he wanted me to lay down next to him & sing this song & remember when my flowers bloom he will walk through with me to see my garden in the morning. I don't think I'll ever get over that last moment.
My mum sang this song to me when I was little every time she put me to bed. And now she’s gone and I can’t hear this without bawling my eyes out
I am so sorry for you.
Hello
One of the most beautiful and well written songs I’ve ever heard..
So catchy aswell and so powerful
My husband beat cancer and has two hernias and has to have major surgery next year. I just lay in bed at night hoping and praying God doesn't take him.
Such a beautiful song. I always come back to it when I remember. It really brings back the feeling of life in me.
THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG TOUCH MY SOUL
Love is: All that I am, all that I ever was, is here in your perfect eyes. Thank you, Snow Patrol, this is what I my wife and believe in!!!
the #1 song i listen to when driving, just never get tired of it. Its just so beautiful and touchingly deep in the melancholy of the voice that sings it.
What a beautiful song!!!!! Thank you! I love it and the video! Lovely lovely song!!!!
An amazing song. Love the group and this one of my favorite songs of all time. The song is saying enjoy your life and your loved ones. And just forget about everything else.
I honestly think this is single handidly the greatest song ever written, 12 years later and everytime I listen to it I feel like im listening to it for the first time
Back in 2007 the company I’ve been working for the last 13 years was restructuring. This song reminds me of the good times we had and the eventualities of seeing my colleagues for the last time.
One of my favorites. Never tire hearing this song.
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
It was at the Old Ground hotel in Ennis Ireland 2003. We slow danced to this song, i held her for the 1st time. I fell in love the more we danced to this song. But she belonged to another as did i. Every time i hear this song it beings me back.
Brings
I will never forget this song when he first sang it and I still listen to it now
