I sang this to my daughter while she was in hospital after open heart surgery, she was 3 months old. Years later when she was 4 years old she heard me playing it on guitar and singing it and she loved it. Now at 7 years old I often sing it to her as a lullaby, this song is really special to us.
This song is really special to all of us. Sky, you and your daughter check out Athletes song Wires. I'm sure she'll like it to. God bless you and your family.❤️🖤
This song is so uplifting, yet beautifully sad at the same time. The music and his voice carrying on through the music I believe is touching like conveying that instead of leaving a shadow, leave as bright as the sun, as well as trying to allow the one fading away to still hear the message: "You aren't alone, I'm with you."
I first heard the sone when Stephen Chalk sang it. I liked it so much I looked for the version by Snow Patrol. Here is what Stephen did. th-cam.com/video/ta_YKRlr43w/w-d-xo.html
This song has so much meaning to me. After 2 open heart surgeries, and now an impending heart transplant for our 5yr old daughter ....I cannot put words to what this song means to me. To think I might not see those eyes...... Light up, my baby!!
I hope your family is doing well. I also know a little girl with CHD, she is doing well, happy, healthy and beautiful. Life is tough, we just have to keep going. Best wishes to you and yours.
music means nothing when you hear stories like this , but at times all you have is music , its a double entant , i really hope your little soldier came out on top , please let us know how things went xxxx my heart is with your little sodier xxxx
AMEN!!!!!! It helped me when my wife left me and i couldn't see my little girl for months until we worked through it all. This is still my lullaby for her.
To everyone whos listening to this song in remembrance of someone they've lost just remember that life will get better always will once you reach rock bottom you can only go up life will always get better even if you cant see a way it will like lifes tough iv lost my grandfather and the only girl iv ever thought coulda been my soulmate in the past 5 months and went through very suicidal feelings but after 5 months life will get better so just stay strong
You also stay strong . I lost all my grandparents , both parents , I lost three good friends and my husband was killed. I leaned, to carry on regardless. I am no longer made from flesh but from Tungsten carbide . And I live , I cope . I stopped crying and started dancing . It was a test from the heavens , and I can cope with anything now.
I've always said, since I discovered this song at about 15, I want this played at my funeral and "Even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear." on my headstone
This is my first Snow Patrol experience and when I first heard it, I sat back in my chair and listened to it...5 times. The last 3 minutes of the song has a euphoric quality that can't be matched with anything else I've ever heard. Between the instrumentation and the lyrics and overall structure to the song, it is a true masterpiece.
This is what my dad always told me to look for in a relationship. I'm only now at the age of 37 finally finding the one to walk beside me through this life.
RIP my lovely grandmother - who died tonight at 8:15 - you will be missed ❤️ Edit: wow this happened so long ago and people are still giving their condolences thank you so much everyone! It makes me smile to see that people can still be kind
This song is so perfect. It could be played at a Prom, or a Senior Ball, or a wedding. It's also the perfect song to express your feelings for a loved one that passed away. Snow Patrol is so talented and perfect.
This song is amazing. This song literally gave me chills, and that speaks volumes for an artist to have such passion for his craft to move crowds in such a powerful way. I hope Snow Patrol continues to change the world, one song at a time.
+abby k It's a beautiful song that translates in so many ways into everyone's daily business Abby. By that I mean that it has meaning for us all, one way or another. Enjoy it and reflect......
You know, I was obsessed with this song from 13 - 17 and coming back to it now, as a parent, it became twice as profound of a song as it had to begin with.
We had this played at my mum's funeral last week, there were a few raised eyebrows, until everyone listened to the lyrics, then it made sense, it's such a beautiful song, it will always be one of my favourites,
I wish you the best as you move forward with your life. I lost my husband and while it wasn't this song, I had the same issue with the raised eyebrows over the song I played. Actually, it was most of the music I played. I didn't care. My choice of music was meant for him, not those who came to the funeral. Those who knew him best, understood why I played it. No explanation was required.
You sang this too me at the start of pandemic we fell in love now your gone how why only you have the answers you'll never walk alone now baby . Rest in peace untill we meet again sweet dreams I miss you it hurts I keep seeing your face hear your voice but can't hold you ..I'm broke why do this too me I loved you...Danny from your big blue eyed girl they sparkled once now my eyes are dull.. smile with tears when I think of you . Eternity we said eternity it will be ..love you miss you 💔💙.. 5/10/77.... 22/7/20 Danny xx
Nobody died, I'm not listening to this in any particular year, this song doesn't remind me of anything except this song, I didn't kick drugs and I don't have any philosophical comment about the lyrics. I'm here just because I love the song.
Love this song. So meaningful. So powerful. Today marks my dad's 17th memorial. He's been gone since I was 3. Though do not have much memories of him, he will always be my hero. My first true love. I love you Dad. I know you're resting peacefully in God's arm. Thank you Lord for everything you've done for me all along.
I lost my dear son age 27 9yrs ago but a month before his 28th birthday 30th November so this is my 10th Christmas without him this song is so powerful tears streaming down my face as I'm writing this God Bless son xxx
When my dad got really ill with cancer in 2013 this was a song that he really liked. We always thought we'd play this at his funeral. Luckily, he got through it and is still here today but now I can't listen to this song without flooding with tears. Such a beautiful melody
+katie turner - Katie I was thinking the same exact thing..as the tears rolled down my face, I suddenly saw your comment...thanks for not making me feel alone.... :)
I was listening to this song almost every day during my biggest life problems. When I was forced to move out from my apartment, and at the same time my mum's new boyfriend was in in the hospital after a cerebral stroke. When I had a very painful split-up with my bf. When I felt betrayed by my closest friend in the way I can't even describe. In every of those hard moments this song was with me and I f*cking love it.
My grandad passed away a few days ago. I am heartbroken beyond words. But this song came on in my car and then a day later in my auntys. The words are so so special he is still with us I can feel it ❤️
In that boat now traveling the same stormy seas with that one rat of sun shine gleaming through the dark clouds I think we both know how thats possible ❤
This was the song my first love and me used to listen to and plan our future. Lol the future looks bleak now. Breaks my heart. She's married to someone now and I wish her all the happiness. Unfortunately I'm still stuck.
Yeah I know how you feel, I've had failed relationships with past girlfriends and they would've moved on and got themselves new boyfriends but I'm still stuck myself cos I haven't managed to find myself a new girlfriend
I feel this, I'm in the midst of a whirlwind relationship with a lady, I just don't think she feels the same for me as I do for her. We love this song and said it was 'our song', the irony of the lyrics however pretty much lay out how our relationship will end. It hurts to think we're going to have to say goodbye one day soon. Chin up fella, remember the what the good times brought you.
I heard this song a few days after my 25 year old son was killed in an rollover crash. For some reason, it so strongly reminded me of him... I would just sob every time I heard it for an entire year. He has been gone more than 10 years now and it still hits me in the feels.
I first heard this song when watching Simon from AGT and the children’s support groups he supports. I’ve listened to it around twenty times and am memorizing it. It is haunting and beautiful. The perfect song for the loss of a loved one. I’m blessed to have the lyrics printed out so I can understand what all the words are. Wonderful 😔
This song reminds me of all who I lost sight of, but not forgotten. R.I.P to all my friends and family I lost and to all of yours too. Because love is one thing that won't go bland, and can't be replaced.
This is for my Mum who has terminal cancer , I don't ever want you to go ,Mum but I know you must and don't worry il be ok and no one will break my smile ,I love you very very much
Rekless, I discovered this song in exactly your position at 17; my mother was dying of Leukemia, at the time it represented so much that I wanted to say to her but felt I couldn't because acknowledging that she was going felt like the most painful thing.... 5 years on and this song still brings tears to my eyes without fail, but it also brings back some of the most beautiful memories I got from spending time with my mum. I hope you're able to work through your loss as well as can be hoped for, don't be afraid to ask for help from anyone and know that moving forward from loss is challenging, but is exactly what my mum hoped I would achieve and what your mum (along with many others, including myself) would hope for you. Take care x
Byron Marks Oh you were only 17 , Your words are so very very special and so kind and thoughtful and Il always remember them . I have some beautiful memories that make me cry and laugh and its only been 4 months but I truly believe my Mum is watching me and your Mum sure had a beautiful son with a loving heart and Im so sure she must love you so much and be so proud of the empathy youve shown a stranger ,You really touched my heart and made me smile and all I can say Is thank you and I you take care too XO
I listen to lots of music from lots of different artists, but my 2 favourite songs are both by Snow Patrol, this and Chasing Cars.The emotion these 2 songs bring is amazing.
listened to this in a karaoke bar in Faro. It was a Portuguese lassy who was singing. It was so fucking beautiful. Now that im home in Glasgow, I listen to this and get filled with nostalgia. It was beautiful
I always thought that this was a Christian song. I hear this as a conversation with and from the Lord. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. God bless
This song among others, brought me back to life after eleven long years in the dark. I've spent a larger part of my life in the dark where I did not want to be, and suddenly, as "cliche" as it might sound, there was an automatic light at the end of a long tunnel; something pushing me forward helping me let go of this present mess and shed my skin. A voice and I am so thankful I did not give up hope and though i've made mistakes in my life, I am so frigin glad I did not go further than I have. I have so long to go, but I needed this more than air in order to have the life that is calling to me; one that will include everything I ever wanted.
My brother died a month ago and I went for a long walk the next day and this song came on my ipod and I just put it on repeat and listened to it for my entire walk I've already told my wife that I want this song played at my funeral
This song is a masterpiece. It leaves contrasting impressions upon the listener, acting as both an expression of true love and of being apart (as a break-up). To me it seems like the song conveys the message that the man fully realizes his mistakes, and yet despite previous adversity, truly loves her and wants nothing else but to be with her. It is a song of both sadness and hope; the hope of bringing two souls back together in the bond of love. I realize my errs now, darling...
I know this pain! But also it makes me realise that she is also to blame, where I will admit my eras and beg for another chance she seems to not give a fuck and has let me take the whole blame! It takes two to tango so it should take two to make amends and whilst I try to fix it she is happy to leave it broken as long as everyone thinks that I broke it! If you're not worth the fight then why the fuck should you keep on fighting when you starve yourself and dream about her, it's only when you realise that those dreams are actually nightmares that you get your hunger back. Ask yourself is she starving? NO! I would give her a million chances but she can't give 1 more chance! That's what this song is saying, if you cannot hear then fuck you
"even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear" That hits different now. This song was the only one that made my dad cry when we were younger (lots of hospital time for me, I technically died for a bit), and now it's the only one to bring me to tears. We just received a diagnosis of a condition that can be fatal, and I've been singing this song to my little cousins and my best friend. I only hope they remember that I won't ever truly leave them, and that they can live the long happy lives they deserve.
THIS MASTERPIECE got me through my divorce and custody of my then-12-year old daughter. This song had just hit the alternative radio airwaves and I heard it late at night in the depths of my hurt and could only think of my little girl. TODAY after 17 years I still think of her vividly whenever I hear this amazing song. LOVE IT SO MUCH.
Upon first hearing the lyrics one might think it's a love relationship between two people. But actually the meaning of the song is about protecting one's family.
Actually Lindsay you can interpret the lyrics anyway you want. I was putting what the song was really about from the composer Gary Lightbody who said and I quote: Gary explained: "Its really about family. It's wanting to protect them from all the people in the world that want to destroy. It's about running away and keeping them safe, not about fighting which perpetuates the violent cycle. It's a hopeful song." The flares are a rather literal but effective interpretation of the chorus: "Light up, light up/as if you had the choice/Even if you cannot hear my voice/I'll be right beside you dear. It's an apocalyptic song. Can we go somewhere safe when everything goes mad? The opening line, 'I'll sing it one more time for you' is about singing my kid to sleep. I don't have a kid, but I hope I to one day."
Dear Cash, I've known you for four years. Even though you're with the angels now, you're still mine. And every night I see a little light. I know it's you. Thank you for being with me, Cash. I'll always love you.
Joe C. ....On the 11th of Nov.2009 I lost the love of my life, who was my wife, partner, lover and mother of our children. This song was played at her funeral and even though that was ten years ago, this song still reduces me to tears. They say that "time heals"...well I'm still waiting!.. God Bless you Pat.xxx
Wow, wasn't so impressed by this song when I listened to it on Sunday, but now that I'm hearing it for a second time, I have to say that this is such a fantastic song!💚 I'm really starting to like Snow Patrol.
Words fail me to describe this masterpiece, I lost my son eight years ago and this song says everything, thank you Snow Patrol from the bottom of my heart.
I'll sing it one last time for you Then we really have to go You've been the only thing that's right In all I've done. And I can barely look at you But every single time I do I know we'll make it anywhere Away from here Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear Louder, louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say To think I might not see those eyes It makes it so hard not to cry And as we say our long goodbyes I nearly do. Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear Louder, louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say Slower, slower We don't have time for that All I want is to find an easier way To get out of our little heads Have heart my dear We're bound to be afraid Even if it's just for a few days Making up for all this mess. Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear
This reminds me of my brother that had cancer and this was the song that he played to his school to show them what he had been through and none of are family can listen to this without crying now
my dad, married in 1953, my mum got Alzheimer's 8ys ago.. she is in a home now. and he visit's every day ... he is still fighting... i like your spirit.. RESPECT to you my friend.....lovely song ........
This is for my Kelsie. She's perfect in every way. I made a terrible mistake leaving her a year ago. Her and I are starting to get back together. She's my best friend. She's such a beautiful person, and she deserves the best. This is for you Kelsie.
I am just so happy as they are coming home...they will be playing live tomorrow night live in there hometown of Bangor...at 9 PM so excited to see them again...24th may 2019..
I am in a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend at the moment and a couple days ago she vanished with nothing to show where she went. I miss her so bad and this song so perfectly conveys my emotions... Thank you, Snow Patrol.
I have a friend that I’ve know for like four years now. Around October of 2014 is when this happened. Plus I was, still am in the army at the time. Her name is Ali. We met on pof and talked most of the time, then stopped, and so on. But it was a little over a year later that we finally got to meet in person. That was December 22, 2015 when this finally took place. Again I was still serving and can only meet during leave. It usually got to be once in a while, then later a couple of times. It was after we first met I started to like her so much. If you were to ask me what I like about Ali, it was her smile that she had. And I swear her smile is enough to make me smile more. But it’s hard for me to tell her how I feel about her because as her friend I never expected to get that close to her. I also don’t want to feel hurt because she has been before quite a few times before. I hope whatever happens to me and Ali along the way, we’ll always be true friends to each other.
Billy Ruprecht thank you for the reply! I’m currently serving as well, in the Marines. My girlfriend and I are now happily married for coming up on six months. We both love this song :) Hope you and Ali stay friends for a long, long time, and that it works out in both of your best interests.
CmdrWinters I thank you. Now it has been a long time since I’ve last seen Ali. We still stay in touch every now and then. Also she loves the Marines and did try to become one but had asthma, but I consider her one in my heart. I should add that she has a boyfriend, this happened around the same time we met. Right now I’m not happy with how she’s being treated by him. He treats her like a loser and she believes that she is and blames herself. This happened a year into their relationship, now coming into five years, and when Ali breaks up with him, she usually ends up going back to him. At one point his sister even treated my friend terribly and I told her not to go back and then she did days later. I swear she’s been manipulated by this guy that she feels like she has nowhere to go. I’m sure her last boyfriend before he died was way better and would never treat her like that. At times I want to tell Ali how I felt about her, and I still do but I don’t know how to do it.
@@billyruprecht9581 hey man. Hope things are going okay for you. My wife is thinking of leaving me. Guess some heartbreaks are meant to happen. I’m fighting for us though because I believe in us. Keep strong, my friend. May you find love out there.
I have been looking for this song for the longest gave up. Looking then starting looking again. Found this song i love this group so much thank you so much.
My bf overdosed 2 months ago yesterday... My advice is no matter how mad you may be, never take someone for granted. They can be gone in a second. Longest 2 months of my life
Unconscious after an accident, i can hear my wife trying to communicate with me as I drifted. This song seems to capture the emotions. I still hurt from what i think was chest compressions. Still don't know the meaning of this song. But I could imagine someone on life support.
Love this band. Unlike many others, they've been consistently good and haven't changed their sound too much over the years. This song is one of my favorites. The chorus kind of hits me in the heart, for some reason.

Sorry for your loss! I can't imagine that type of love and loss
God bless x
Terry Moore May she RIP 😇
This song is so uplifting, yet beautifully sad at the same time. The music and his voice carrying on through the music I believe is touching like conveying that instead of leaving a shadow, leave as bright as the sun, as well as trying to allow the one fading away to still hear the message: "You aren't alone, I'm with you."
I agree
yes.

So sorry! ❤for her!
This song has so much meaning to me. After 2 open heart surgeries, and now an impending heart transplant for our 5yr old daughter ....I cannot put words to what this song means to me. To think I might not see those eyes...... Light up, my baby!!
Joanita Goodson Hope all goes well for your daughter
I hope your daughter gets better😊
I hope your family is doing well. I also know a little girl with CHD, she is doing well, happy, healthy and beautiful. Life is tough, we just have to keep going. Best wishes to you and yours.

Dave R I'm so sorry for you I lost my love 2017 may it's hard I feel your pain x
So sorry to hear that

This song is for all the fathers that miss their children and cant see them or be with them when they want. I feel you.
AMEN!!!!!! It helped me when my wife left me and i couldn't see my little girl for months until we worked through it all. This is still my lullaby for her.
I lost my son 20 year's ago in bad court case, he was 3 years old ,he refused to see me now ,after 20 year's, life has been Hell without him ,
To everyone whos listening to this song in remembrance of someone they've lost just remember that life will get better always will once you reach rock bottom you can only go up life will always get better even if you cant see a way it will like lifes tough iv lost my grandfather and the only girl iv ever thought coulda been my soulmate in the past 5 months and went through very suicidal feelings but after 5 months life will get better so just stay strong
You also stay strong . I lost all my grandparents , both parents , I lost three good friends and my husband was killed. I leaned, to carry on regardless. I am no longer made from flesh but from Tungsten carbide . And I live , I cope . I stopped crying and started dancing . It was a test from the heavens , and I can cope with anything now.
Trying to lay still
I've always said, since I discovered this song at about 15, I want this played at my funeral and "Even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear." on my headstone
This is my first Snow Patrol experience and when I first heard it, I sat back in my chair and listened to it...5 times. The last 3 minutes of the song has a euphoric quality that can't be matched with anything else I've ever heard. Between the instrumentation and the lyrics and overall structure to the song, it is a true masterpiece.
Me too… literally just today. It’s one of those songs
There's another one tooo.. Chasing cars.. Just heard more than 10 times in a row ❤❤❤..
do not walk behind me, I may not lead. do not walk in front of me, I may not follow. just walk beside me and be my friend.
AcidRain73 Amazing!
❤️❤️❤️
This is what my dad always told me to look for in a relationship. I'm only now at the age of 37 finally finding the one to walk beside me through this life.
I saw that quote in a babsiters club book
When it hurts to look back, and you're afraid to look ahead, look beside you. There you will see your friends..
Thank you, friends...
RIP my lovely grandmother - who died tonight at 8:15 - you will be missed ❤️
Edit: wow this happened so long ago and people are still giving their condolences thank you so much everyone! It makes me smile to see that people can still be kind
Sorry for your loss. x
+corpus vile thank you :)
so sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your lost 😭
I miss my little brother so much 💔 I love you always Logan, my sweet Buddha ❤
What happened to Logan?
This song is so perfect. It could be played at a Prom, or a Senior Ball, or a wedding. It's also the perfect song to express your feelings for a loved one that passed away.
Snow Patrol is so talented and perfect.

This song just tugs at the heart strings and I can't exactly explain why
+abby k Probably because it's an emotional song.
+abby k It's a beautiful song that translates in so many ways into everyone's daily business Abby. By that I mean that it has meaning for us all, one way or another. Enjoy it and reflect......
Maybe because you're a weaboo.

You know, I was obsessed with this song from 13 - 17 and coming back to it now, as a parent, it became twice as profound of a song as it had to begin with.
Lol one day I thought I made up the word profound, I've never heard it or seen it before but somehow I found it in my vocabulary
+Daniel Covington That's actually neat af though, guy
By far one of the best songs I've heard in my life so far.
We had this played at my mum's funeral last week, there were a few raised eyebrows, until everyone listened to the lyrics, then it made sense, it's such a beautiful song, it will always be one of my favourites,
I wish you the best as you move forward with your life. I lost my husband and while it wasn't this song, I had the same issue with the raised eyebrows over the song I played. Actually, it was most of the music I played. I didn't care. My choice of music was meant for him, not those who came to the funeral. Those who knew him best, understood why I played it. No explanation was required.

Nobody died, I'm not listening to this in any particular year, this song doesn't remind me of anything except this song, I didn't kick drugs and I don't have any philosophical comment about the lyrics. I'm here just because I love the song.
You I relate to.
Fair enough👍
Class Song
Tony England me too

this song is like a hug from God in the midst of great sadness. it makes me feel so safe yet so sad
Just lost my partner of 19 years suddenly ❤ no one knows how it feels, but people like us do still listening to this song after all these years ❤
Love this song. So meaningful. So powerful. Today marks my dad's 17th memorial. He's been gone since I was 3. Though do not have much memories of him, he will always be my hero. My first true love. I love you Dad. I know you're resting peacefully in God's arm. Thank you Lord for everything you've done for me all along.
Take heart my dear
I lost my dear son age 27 9yrs ago but a month before his 28th birthday 30th November so this is my 10th Christmas without him this song is so powerful tears streaming down my face as I'm writing this God Bless son xxx
My boy passed on 12/17/06 Christmas will never be the same
My heart goes out to you.
sending good thoughts your way
When my dad got really ill with cancer in 2013 this was a song that he really liked. We always thought we'd play this at his funeral. Luckily, he got through it and is still here today but now I can't listen to this song without flooding with tears. Such a beautiful melody
this song played constantly while i was in hospital at the age of 6, it still makes me cry now
Just discovered this song today, and it is quickly becoming my favourite song to listen to.
Pixel Geeks listen to Leona Lewis's version. Heaven
I started listening to it in late 16, came Back to it a few days ago, today's the 1st Day I had it earwormed in my head.
It came to me in the shower
This reminds me of my mother. RIP Mum x Love You
Katie m Sorry for your loss xxx
daframe alex I know that emotion all to well, r.i.p to our mothers, they gave us life and courage to carry on.

+katie turner - Katie I was thinking the same exact thing..as the tears rolled down my face, I suddenly saw your comment...thanks for not making me feel alone.... :)
Haha regardless aslong as they were a mother to you a damn great one. Never loose their traits for it will shape who you are as a person.
I was listening to this song almost every day during my biggest life problems. When I was forced to move out from my apartment, and at the same time my mum's new boyfriend was in in the hospital after a cerebral stroke. When I had a very painful split-up with my bf. When I felt betrayed by my closest friend in the way I can't even describe. In every of those hard moments this song was with me and I f*cking love it.
My grandad passed away a few days ago. I am heartbroken beyond words. But this song came on in my car and then a day later in my auntys. The words are so so special he is still with us I can feel it ❤️
In that boat now traveling the same stormy seas with that one rat of sun shine gleaming through the dark clouds I think we both know how thats possible ❤
This was the song my first love and me used to listen to and plan our future. Lol the future looks bleak now. Breaks my heart. She's married to someone now and I wish her all the happiness. Unfortunately I'm still stuck.
Yeah I know how you feel, I've had failed relationships with past girlfriends and they would've moved on and got themselves new boyfriends but I'm still stuck myself cos I haven't managed to find myself a new girlfriend
I'm so sorry man, sometimes things dont work for a reason. Keep your head up and one day if your heart is pure she will come back to you.
I feel this, I'm in the midst of a whirlwind relationship with a lady, I just don't think she feels the same for me as I do for her.
We love this song and said it was 'our song', the irony of the lyrics however pretty much lay out how our relationship will end.
It hurts to think we're going to have to say goodbye one day soon.
Chin up fella, remember the what the good times brought you.
To my friend paul. I cant believe your gone, this beautiful song will always remind me of you ❤🌈
I heard this song a few days after my 25 year old son was killed in an rollover crash. For some reason, it so strongly reminded me of him... I would just sob every time I heard it for an entire year. He has been gone more than 10 years now and it still hits me in the feels.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I could listen to this everyday and it would never get old!!!
finally someone who agrees that the younger generation can like old music
I first heard this song when watching Simon from AGT and the children’s support groups he supports. I’ve listened to it around twenty times and am memorizing it. It is haunting and beautiful. The perfect song for the loss of a loved one. I’m blessed to have the lyrics printed out so I can understand what all the words are. Wonderful 😔
This song reminds me of all who I lost sight of, but not forgotten. R.I.P to all my friends and family I lost and to all of yours too. Because love is one thing that won't go bland, and can't be replaced.
This is for my Mum who has terminal cancer , I don't ever want you to go ,Mum but I know you must and don't worry il be ok and no one will break my smile ,I love you very very much
what happened? :(
I'm so sorry... :'(
Rekless, I discovered this song in exactly your position at 17; my mother was dying of Leukemia, at the time it represented so much that I wanted to say to her but felt I couldn't because acknowledging that she was going felt like the most painful thing.... 5 years on and this song still brings tears to my eyes without fail, but it also brings back some of the most beautiful memories I got from spending time with my mum. I hope you're able to work through your loss as well as can be hoped for, don't be afraid to ask for help from anyone and know that moving forward from loss is challenging, but is exactly what my mum hoped I would achieve and what your mum (along with many others, including myself) would hope for you.
Take care x

Oh you were only 17 , Your words are so very very special and so kind and thoughtful and Il always remember them . I have some beautiful memories that make me cry and laugh and its only been 4 months but I truly believe my Mum is watching me and your Mum sure had a beautiful son with a loving heart and Im so sure she must love you so much and be so proud of the empathy youve shown a stranger ,You really touched my heart and made me smile and all I can say Is thank you and I you take care too XO
*****
Thanks Its still so raw but I will and thanks xo truly !
I listen to lots of music from lots of different artists, but my 2 favourite songs are both by Snow Patrol, this and Chasing Cars.The emotion these 2 songs bring is amazing.
listened to this in a karaoke bar in Faro. It was a Portuguese lassy who was singing. It was so fucking beautiful. Now that im home in Glasgow, I listen to this and get filled with nostalgia. It was beautiful
I always thought that this was a Christian song. I hear this as a conversation with and from the Lord.
Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe.
God bless
This song among others, brought me back to life after eleven long years in the dark. I've spent a larger part of my life in the dark where I did not want to be, and suddenly, as "cliche" as it might sound, there was an automatic light at the end of a long tunnel; something pushing me forward helping me let go of this present mess and shed my skin. A voice and I am so thankful I did not give up hope and though i've made mistakes in my life, I am so frigin glad I did not go further than I have. I have so long to go, but I needed this more than air in order to have the life that is calling to me; one that will include everything I ever wanted.
I've had this song on repeat for about 4 days, and STILL it literally takes my breath away. Beautiful.
This was played at my uncles funeral, I will always love him and this song.
My brother died a month ago and I went for a long walk the next day and this song came on my ipod and I just put it on repeat and listened to it for my entire walk I've already told my wife that I want this song played at my funeral
This is actually the first time I heard this song and it was truly amazing. I almost cried. I freaking love Snow Patrol!!!
This song is a masterpiece. It leaves contrasting impressions upon the listener, acting as both an expression of true love and of being apart (as a break-up). To me it seems like the song conveys the message that the man fully realizes his mistakes, and yet despite previous adversity, truly loves her and wants nothing else but to be with her. It is a song of both sadness and hope; the hope of bringing two souls back together in the bond of love. I realize my errs now, darling...
Well said
I know this pain! But also it makes me realise that she is also to blame, where I will admit my eras and beg for another chance she seems to not give a fuck and has let me take the whole blame! It takes two to tango so it should take two to make amends and whilst I try to fix it she is happy to leave it broken as long as everyone thinks that I broke it! If you're not worth the fight then why the fuck should you keep on fighting when you starve yourself and dream about her, it's only when you realise that those dreams are actually nightmares that you get your hunger back. Ask yourself is she starving? NO! I would give her a million chances but she can't give 1 more chance! That's what this song is saying, if you cannot hear then fuck you
saw snow patrol live when in melbourne australia, festival hall, best concert ive ever been too
This is just one of those songs that really gives me chills.
RIP Grandpa You left today on your birthday:’( but atleast you get to celebrate it with your loved wife :’) gonna miss you 💔
💔
"even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear"
That hits different now. This song was the only one that made my dad cry when we were younger (lots of hospital time for me, I technically died for a bit), and now it's the only one to bring me to tears. We just received a diagnosis of a condition that can be fatal, and I've been singing this song to my little cousins and my best friend. I only hope they remember that I won't ever truly leave them, and that they can live the long happy lives they deserve.
I hope you are still around.
This song came out in 2004. Thank's for making me feel 'old', I'm 19.
Beautiful voice ☼ Great song ☼ Fantastic Band
Grazie for upload
...☼...
THIS MASTERPIECE got me through my divorce and custody of my then-12-year old daughter. This song had just hit the alternative radio airwaves and I heard it late at night in the depths of my hurt and could only think of my little girl. TODAY after 17 years I still think of her vividly whenever I hear this amazing song. LOVE IT SO MUCH.
Upon first hearing the lyrics one might think it's a love relationship between two people. But actually the meaning of the song is about protecting one's family.
Cat T can’t be about both, maybe?
Actually Lindsay you can interpret the lyrics anyway you want. I was putting what the song was really about from the composer Gary Lightbody who said and I quote:
Gary explained: "Its really about family. It's wanting to protect them from all the people in the world that want to destroy. It's about running away and keeping them safe, not about fighting which perpetuates the violent cycle. It's a hopeful song." The flares are a rather literal but effective interpretation of the chorus: "Light up, light up/as if you had the choice/Even if you cannot hear my voice/I'll be right beside you dear. It's an apocalyptic song. Can we go somewhere safe when everything goes mad? The opening line, 'I'll sing it one more time for you' is about singing my kid to sleep. I don't have a kid, but I hope I to one day."
Only song that makes my baby stop crying
Dear Cash,
I've known you for four years. Even though you're with the angels now, you're still mine. And every night I see a little light. I know it's you. Thank you for being with me, Cash. I'll always love you.
That made my eyes wet 😢
It kills my heart
Ive listened to this song so many times guys its insane probably over 1000 times
In 2017, as I was in the ICU, dying, I told my wife "even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear". I guess it just wasn't my time.
Wow, powerful
Joe C. ....On the 11th of Nov.2009 I lost the love of my life, who was my wife, partner, lover and mother of our children. This song was played at her funeral and even though that was ten years ago, this song still reduces me to tears.
They say that "time heals"...well I'm still waiting!..
God Bless you Pat.xxx
Wow, wasn't so impressed by this song when I listened to it on Sunday, but now that I'm hearing it for a second time, I have to say that this is such a fantastic song!💚 I'm really starting to like Snow Patrol.
This song kills my heart.
same
yap
My heart kills this song
NOOOOOOOO => please stay alive :-)
They say whatever doesn’t kill you makes you strong, so whatever does kill you makes you twice as strong! 💪🏻
Words fail me to describe this masterpiece, I lost my son eight years ago and this song says everything, thank you Snow Patrol from the bottom of my heart.
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done.
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

This reminds me of my brother that had cancer and this was the song that he played to his school to show them what he had been through and none of are family can listen to this without crying now

This is for my Kelsie. She's perfect in every way. I made a terrible mistake leaving her a year ago. Her and I are starting to get back together. She's my best friend. She's such a beautiful person, and she deserves the best. This is for you Kelsie.
If you didn't cry a little, your soul doesn't exist.
Timeless lyrics. First song I ever saw them perform on TH-cam. Glasgow Music Festival. Have been a fan ever since. (Am 74).
...unmistakeable masterpiece...poignant and intense...
This was played in our leavers service at school, every time I listen to this song I cry
I love that you hear the Northern Irish accent in his voice when he sings.This song reminds me of my partner Steve,,,RIP babe...I miss you so MUCH!
This makes me think of my love he's so far away and I just wish he was closer
This song makes me think of my little niece Cara Sienna sleep peacefully beautiful x
From the 1960's hippie era.
Best time..EVER!

It's 2018 and this is still an absolute belter

This song makes me sad as it was played at my dad's funeral, I miss him so much
Im so sorry for your loss. I know what it feels like.. you just have to be brave for others. Your is watching over you.
Wanna cry a lot to hear this song...miss you my best friend, see you in heaven
I'm listening to this on my grandmother's second heavenly birthday. It never gets easier. I miss her greatly.
Bate's Motel Season 3 Episode 10. Dylan is listening to Run in his truck driving to find Emma.
Beautiful song, timeless, makes me feel so many different emotions. You have good taste if you also like it, have a good day! And be kind to others👍
I am just so happy as they are coming home...they will be playing live tomorrow night live in there hometown of Bangor...at 9 PM so excited to see them again...24th may 2019..
This is the first song ,I heard after my mother died. And the moment I realized she was the only one who truly loved me.
My mom is the closest re
Semblance to God on eaRth to me.
one of the best tracks on the album for me
I saw them play this song when I was 11 or 12. Id do anything to see this performed live again. Maybe one day, post quarantine...
nothing gets me like this song...I haven't listened to it in so long because it just rips me apart.
I am in a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend at the moment and a couple days ago she vanished with nothing to show where she went. I miss her so bad and this song so perfectly conveys my emotions... Thank you, Snow Patrol.
I have a friend that I’ve know for like four years now. Around October of 2014 is when this happened. Plus I was, still am in the army at the time. Her name is Ali. We met on pof and talked most of the time, then stopped, and so on. But it was a little over a year later that we finally got to meet in person. That was December 22, 2015 when this finally took place. Again I was still serving and can only meet during leave. It usually got to be once in a while, then later a couple of times. It was after we first met I started to like her so much. If you were to ask me what I like about Ali, it was her smile that she had. And I swear her smile is enough to make me smile more. But it’s hard for me to tell her how I feel about her because as her friend I never expected to get that close to her. I also don’t want to feel hurt because she has been before quite a few times before. I hope whatever happens to me and Ali along the way, we’ll always be true friends to each other.
Billy Ruprecht thank you for the reply! I’m currently serving as well, in the Marines. My girlfriend and I are now happily married for coming up on six months. We both love this song :)
Hope you and Ali stay friends for a long, long time, and that it works out in both of your best interests.
CmdrWinters I thank you. Now it has been a long time since I’ve last seen Ali. We still stay in touch every now and then. Also she loves the Marines and did try to become one but had asthma, but I consider her one in my heart. I should add that she has a boyfriend, this happened around the same time we met. Right now I’m not happy with how she’s being treated by him. He treats her like a loser and she believes that she is and blames herself. This happened a year into their relationship, now coming into five years, and when Ali breaks up with him, she usually ends up going back to him. At one point his sister even treated my friend terribly and I told her not to go back and then she did days later. I swear she’s been manipulated by this guy that she feels like she has nowhere to go. I’m sure her last boyfriend before he died was way better and would never treat her like that. At times I want to tell Ali how I felt about her, and I still do but I don’t know how to do it.
@@billyruprecht9581 hey man. Hope things are going okay for you.
My wife is thinking of leaving me. Guess some heartbreaks are meant to happen. I’m fighting for us though because I believe in us.
Keep strong, my friend. May you find love out there.
I have been looking for this song for the longest gave up. Looking then starting looking again. Found this song i love this group so much thank you so much.
one of my favorite song.
Beautiful is all I can say! Rip to my bro Ross
One of the very few songs that brings a tear to my eye
My bf overdosed 2 months ago yesterday... My advice is no matter how mad you may be, never take someone for granted. They can be gone in a second. Longest 2 months of my life
Unconscious after an accident, i can hear my wife trying to communicate with me as I drifted. This song seems to capture the emotions. I still hurt from what i think was chest compressions. Still don't know the meaning of this song. But I could imagine someone on life support.
Love this band. Unlike many others, they've been consistently good and haven't changed their sound too much over the years. This song is one of my favorites. The chorus kind of hits me in the heart, for some reason.
3:51 it's not "I just want to find an easier way" but "all I want is to find an easier way" ;)
There is always one.....
