This is the first song I listened to at the start of my journey. Fitting that it should find its way back to me at the start of a new one. I’ve come full circle.
This song came on in a Starbucks when I was sitting and drinking coffee with my girlfriend back in 2011/2012. I just stared into her eyes as we listened to the lyrics were being sang to us. She started tearing up, and I think I did too, because I realized then that was all I wanted from life. To be with her and to enjoy the simple things life had to offer us. To raise a family together and to grow old together. We were only teenagers, but it seemed like all we ever talked about was growing old together. It's February 2020 and all I have now are distant memories and old photographs.
I really like the last verse about Gary being a dad in the future :) after all those "break-up" songs he has written you really wish him luck with finally finding the love of his life
Just got back from Beirut Lebanon's Snow Patrol concert. In a word: Triumphant. He normally dedicates this song to his father, but he dedicated this to the people of Lebanon. Great night.This is all i ever wanted from life, indeed. Cant wait for the next time i see this more than amazing band.
Heard this song for the first time last night at the Metropolis concert in Montreal. That show was SUCH a high. Best live show I've ever seen. These lyrics really rang true for me with the bass vibrating in my rib cage. This is all I ever wanted from life!
A brilliant song in all it's simplicity.. We are all rushing from place to place in our hectic lives. This puts me to reality, what is all I ever wanted from life?
2024 & going to see them for the first time in Portsmouth next week August, I have always loved this song & really hope that they play it, live you're life people! One life one chance! 💙
Hearing it live for the first time haunted me until the album was released. I kept singing to myself so I wouldn't forget it. My husband proposed to me playing it on his phone with a purple sunset in the background, and the band at our wedding learned the song for our first dance.
My uncle gave me this CD and told me it was a must listen to. I got home and noticed the case was empty and he said he couldn't find it, so I gave up. A few months later I find this CD in my library, I borrowed it and ripped it and I've been listening to it for 3 days straight! AMAZING MUSIC!!!
@theycallmekb1 Thank god for youtube eh? I live in the uk so im pretty lucky :) I don't mean to brag but im seeing them for the second time tomorrow night :) I honestly really hope for you and many other US fans that the do a US tour someday :) It really is something awesome
I think it should be written as "The Fanclub on the jukebox" since it refers to Teenage Fanclub, a proper noun. But let's not split hairs here, enjoy the music...
Tut, tut! We aren't all empty headed, though I probably have too many children! Maybe you could researve judgment a little. Those people have hopes and dreams also. Life is in the details, ya know. Or maybe you don't.....yet.
IRELAND IN THE WORLD CUP EITHER NORTH OR SOUTH...its jus a pitty we couldnt have one big team so we could actually get somewhere in the football, because we have an all ireland cricket team and rugby team?? why not football............?????????????????

Words of reassurance but only if they're true
Just some simple kindness

They always have one song that really manages to get you. Can't stop crying. The simple thigns are what matter the most...
My favorite snow patrol album. Beautiful,,,,!!!!!
No matter how many time I hear it, this song always brings a happy tear.
A brilliant song in all it's simplicity..
We are all rushing from place to place in our hectic lives.
This puts me to reality, what is all I ever wanted from life?
I used this beautiful song for my Dad's funeral. (For him, insert "Dallas Cowboys in the superbowl" instead of "Ireland in the world cup". :-) )
They played it tonight on BBCs Comic Relief night. Broke my heart. Beautiful tune.
Beautiful song ! one of my favorite from this band...
Ever since the concert in Byblos, Lebanon I can't stop listening to Snow Patrol's songs! It's sick! I LOVE IT.
Cried like a damn baby with this song.
Another great song from Gary
Damn, how I love Snow Patrol!

Saw them last night. They were fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.
Still listening in 2019.
2024 & going to see them for the first time in Portsmouth next week August, I have always loved this song & really hope that they play it, live you're life people! One life one chance! 💙

I wish this album was on spotify.
It Is, just listened to it
That's a lot of one line! Wouldn't be the first time, though:)
heard this song live just a few hours ago.
I have this cd in America. YAYAEAAAEAHHH
@o0omethvero0o Went on Friday, won tickets to it only a few hours before it started as well :') You? x
Simple words that describe what all should ever want in life,,, the rest is irrelevant
Anyone picturing what the bittersweet version would sound like?
Beautiful ಥ﹏ಥ
I think it should be written as "The Fanclub on the jukebox" since it refers to Teenage Fanclub, a proper noun. But let's not split hairs here, enjoy the music...
Do these guys have a bad album? Because I have yet to find one.
And naming 1 favorite song from them is really IMPOSSIBLE.
@@somethingbiffy4017 probably lifening itself but it was hard to pick one
spellbiff spellbiff talking to the trees maybe
Titp brought me here !
@robbierandom same! :D Did you go on Friday or Saturday? xx
The birds, and yes, the bees...
(HA HA)
did anybody heard that noise between 00:15- 00:20. is it part of the song or what?
Tut, tut! We aren't all empty headed, though I probably have too many children! Maybe you could researve judgment a little. Those people have hopes and dreams also. Life is in the details, ya know. Or maybe you don't.....yet.
this sounds like a great idea of life:)
Does "the birds and yes the bees" actually mean birds and bees or does it mean sex?
Sex
They Should Do A Video For This
@dylanhuck20 haha it took Ebay, 13 dollars, and 2 weeks but I got it
It was amazing at TITP, They where the best Live act and im not even a big fan of them
IRELAND IN THE WORLD CUP EITHER NORTH OR SOUTH...its jus a pitty we couldnt have one big team so we could actually get somewhere in the football, because we have an all ireland cricket team and rugby team?? why not football............?????????????????
