    In 2013 my daughter used this gorgeous song as her wedding march. She has since passed away, in 2017, after a heart transplant. This song reminds me of a day she could happily celebrate after so many days spent fighting to live.

    When my wee son was stillborn and clung to life in his incubator in Neonatal ICU for a number of days in 2013 I would quietly sing this to him through my tears. He was given no hope by the ‘experts’. He’ll be 9 this year and he’s my best friend!

    2009, Nice (France), U2 concert in the middle of a hot summer, I am so excited to finally listen to U2 live. Bono jumps on stage to introduce the first part band : Snow Patrol. Never heard of them before and honestly did not even checked for the band who'd play the first part. Then Snow Patrol start to play... Chasing Cars - a song I heard and loved on the radio a couple of months before. No youtube, no shazam, barely decent internet back then, I could not even remember the lyrics and I had given up on figuring out who plays this song. The joy I felt when I heard this guitar... I truly felt that at this moment I was exactly where I was supposed to be and I was happy.

      redstripe.ch classical music isn’t timeless it’s an outlet for snobs to pretend their opinions are more cultured than the general public’s. In the end what is or isn’t ‘timeless’ is completely subjective to each persons opinion. No need to discredit someone’s musical preference just because you think memorizing dead people’s names makes you an intellectual.

    My heart lights up with the joy that flows from him as he smiles and sings on this video. His smile is pure joy from his heart. What a gift to all who hear, see and feel this experience. I was sad and after I watched and listened (to one of my favorite songs, band and voice) my sadness turned to a smile and a full heart. Shifted in a moment. I will always love this song, as if it's the first time hearing it well over a decade ago. It always feels new. There is something about it that is so full of hope and I can listen to it over and over forever. Beautiful voice and so full of heart. Thank you Gary and Snow Patrol.

    My two daughters and I drove non-stop from Ohio to Austin Texas to see the Lord of the Rings trilogy at the Alamo Drafthouse nearly a decade ago. My oldest and I took turns sleeping while the other drove listening to this entire CD all the way through and listening to it coming back as well. And to this day I never get tired of this song.

    We'll do it all
    Everything
    On our own
    We don't need
    Anything
    Or anyone
    If I lay here
    If I just lay here
    Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
    I don't quite know
    How to say
    How I feel
    Those three words
    Are said too much
    They're not enough
    If I lay here
    If I just lay here
    Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
    Forget what we're told
    Before we get too old
    Show me a garden that's bursting into life
    Let's waste time
    Chasing cars
    Around our heads
    I need your grace
    To remind me
    To find my own
    If I lay here
    If I just lay here
    Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
    Forget what we're told
    Before we get too old
    Show me a garden that's bursting into life
    All that I am
    All that I ever was
    Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
    I don't know where
    Confused about how as well
    Just know that these things will never change for us at all
    If I lay here
    If I just lay here
    Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

    Unfortunately, we lost our much beloved close family friend back in 2017, 11 months after my dad passed away. This was his song, and not only that but Gary came from my home town, just a few doors down from another, close friend, who lost her hubby just recently.
    Believe me, my life is littered with losing family, friends and so on, in the last 5yrs., including my unconditional-loving staffy. BUT, I'm still here and in my deepest, darkest days, I feel them, wanting me to be stronger than ever before.

    And to the people who are lonely out there, don't give up. Someone will come along, and you WILL fall in love. Just make sure your heart and mind is in the right place, because that's what it takes. Oh, and don't chase it down, true love comes to you in the most inopportune of times.
