The beauty of music with so much emotion in it particularly when this guy sings just brings me too tears, I used to listen to this when I was being treated for cancer in 2007, I was obviously very lucky......Im very sorry for your loss
It is a special song. My wife turned me onto it. I met her in 65, lost track, met again online in 2006. Got married after all that , and this song would be part of our soundtrack.
Saw Snow Patrol open for U2 some years ago. He did the song this way and it blew me away! The entire stadium was quiet. It was one of the most amazing concert experiences of my life!
My late daughter loved this song, she used it on her on her phone as a incoming call tune, she was 38 when she died, taken from us to soon, I play chasing cars often to remind me of her, 😥
I feel for you man. I lost my daughter last year. She was 14. There are songs that she loved that I listen to a lot. I actually recorded one and made a video for it. Music can soothe even the deepest of wounds. Much love.
A perfect example of Less is more. So many musicians starting out think because they can't play like Gilmour or sing like Adele then they have no chance. Jesus Just be yourself
I lost the love of my life ... knew it was coming and I would play this over/over/over with her...enjoying every moment...the song fit...and now she is gone and I remember the joy we shared while she was with me, just being alive...we knew those were precious moments and now all i have are memories. But this is a beautiful song from the heart.
Tow years ago I met the most remarkable girl I've ever known. We had a few months before she started to disappear more and more. During the time we broke up I played a concert at my town and I played this song for her, hoping that she would come. She didn't. She never heard me sing it. And ever simce this song is tainted with the feeling I had on that stage, singing for someone who wasn't listening anymore. Gosh that's corny...
The chords for the whole song if you wasn't picking would be: A, E, D, A (same order for all of the song) If you was picking: 7th fret D + 9th fret G (pick D, G, D, G etc) 6th fret D + 9th fret G (pick D, G, D, G etc) Open D + 9th fret G (pick D, G, D, G etc) The chorus is A, E, D, A
holy chills, when this song came out I was so young and my parents got divorced. this was one of her go to songs to play in the car and it became one of my favorites as a kid. I tend to avoid it now that Im older because the emotion in it is so intense
My mom had breast cancer and I lost her last year. I used to listen to this song a lot. Listening to it over and over until I fall asleep and forget about everything. Cancer sucks. Go hug your mom while you still have her.
My wife's work colleague had this played at his funeral after dying of cancer. We found out in November 2022 that she had cancer. It's aggressive but we're still here. This song makes me cry every time I hear it.
I'm so sorry to hear. Please 🙏🥺 understand you will be separated for a short time but then when it's time you will be in heaven with your wife for eternity. Lord 🙏 please give these people strength and comfort and love. In Jesus name I ask you Lord amen 🙏
I´m about to drive to my female best friend of almost six years to play this song for her. The last two weeks we came each other very close and last night, we cuddled until we kissed. She is very confused about all that and does not know what to think or feel. I´m just plain in love with her. I was in love with her at the beginning of our friendship, and she didn´t return the feelings. But we got through it. And now, here we are. Something special in both heads. Guys, I just want you to know I love this women more than anything else I have. When i´m with her, I see us settle down, get one or two kids and just be at each others side until the end. I´m sure. I love her. I will give my best and play this song to her. Thank you for this wonderful live. I love you all and wish you just the best in your lives. Wish me everything good you can. Please. Thank you. Bye.
To anyone here grieving, broken and bleeding inside; The tears on your face might feel like razors right now, I know you have loved and you have lost. But tell me what you feel in your chest, are your lungs filling with air? Is your heart still beating? Now is the time to rise and make the most of whats left, forget the pieces on the floor and leave them there. I love you and you CAN do this ❤️ now is a new chance to find yourself like never before. Breathe friend, pain is temporary and no match for you 🥰
Love this song as it takes me back to spending the last 12 hrs in my mother's presence before she passed . When I hear it I feel her here . Love you mum
I drove my daughters to london, hours and hours to get to the front. We stood there in floods of tears singing along to this. It means so much to so many people, as all great songs always have and always will.
It’s incredible how a song is born. Two notes give birth; two more complete the song. To be sure, the lyrics are tantamount, and then it helps if your delivery works. And damn, this guy can sing, and that always helps. This is one of the best love songs ever.
There are several songs I can't sing because I start crying. Five For Fighting's "100 Years", Collin Raye's "Love, Me" and Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars".
I'm happy to hear that. Why? My voice is the same. Sometimes my own voice makes me cry. Wish I could met with this great artist to sing a song together. Maybe one day...
It is simple guitar but sit there and play it naked like this and you’re exposed if you put one little finger wrong! This is one of those songs that come along now and again and strike you to the core…. It’s rare these days but I have faith we might get something so raw and beautiful that snaps us back to music like this! Just think of music when it makes your hairs stand up on your arms! This was one of those songs for me ❤
This is by far Gary's most beautiful song. He has throughout the years made some incredible music. Nobody can touch the lyrical talent of this man. If all you've listened to is Snow Patrol please branch out and listen to some of his other musical projects like The Reindeer Section and Tired Pony. He doesn't disappoint in anything he does!
I picked up the guitar 6 years ago and I play it every day even if its just for a few minutes while watching TV. Now I have 4 of them and I'm addicted LOL.
@@rogerblackwood8815 I've dabbled into songwriting a bit and I feel that if you really have something to say, any chords will do. But without emotion, if you're writing a song just for the sake of writing a song it won't sound good on the best chord progression in the world.
Roger Blackwood i think it really is just about the emotion you put into those simple notes or chords and the effects the edge for example uses to create an atmosphere that’s just beautiful
So many people have some kind of relationship, or a loved one to remember while listening to this gem 💎. Love to play it all by myself in the wee wee hours of the morning , when everything is still peaceful ❤.
This is one of my fav songs, always makes me tear up due to its poignant vulnerability in the artist voice. I just love it so much. Finally looked it up to see the actual artist Gary LightBody who wrote and sang it ~so sweet.
This brought a tear to my eye. It’s simple yet deep. The song captures deep emotional content that many of us think and feel. Listening to this artist play this song by himself was amazing. I’ve heard the song on the radio many times. However this version really made it came alive for me. I do not even have the right words to describe how great this sounded. I would love to see this guy live.
My wife was diagnosed with heart failure and made it. We lived this as a connection song. She planted a garden of trees when she was well. My severely alcoholic son nearly died and we would lie in be and cry to each other to bed to this when he was so yellow. Then the next year I was diagnosed with stage four cancer and it As a visual provided hope for me. Every time I hear it it makes me a mess, but he spoke to me heart so often.
Exactly a week ago, I lost my dog Cutler. He was this beautiful, beautiful amstaff. One of the big loves of my life. We we're battling a cancer, something that was hurting his lungs so bad. I did all I could. We did. Had to make a donation campaign, you know... To pay all the bills through three different hospitals. It worked like magic! I never had so much people sending donations, sending love and hope. Sharing my letter asking for help. It was a beautiful touching moment. Sadly, even with the best meds I could get, it was his time. He almost died in my arms. We used to walk everyday, in the visit time, on the backyard of the hospital. He was always happy, and the walkings were just good. After the walk, me and Cutler would go back to the resting room (with all other dogs) and lay down on the floor. I'd give him a nice hug, sometimes I prayed with him in my arms, sometimes I just say "hey son, don't worry, you'll be good! This people are taking good care and making sure you'll heal!". Last thursday he got a attack in the walk. Had to take him in my arms and run back to the meds. They took him into oxygen. It was alright again. Than, another attack... Oxygen. Okay for now. Had to leave him, visitation time is up. While I was in the bus back home, got the call. Went home crying all the way. In the bus, at the street, at home. Than sometime this song rose up to me. The lyrics fits like magic. And somehow, it numbs the pain, the poetry donates a bit of hope and sense to my heart, you know? And that's why I thank Snow Patrol for. That's what art is all about.
This so sad . RIP Cutler . My dog died in my wife‘s arms . He loved her so , small woman and this big black boy . They were soulmates like there‘s no tomorrow…peace 😢
I have revealed myself to You many times Yet You have not seen me Attach thyself to thee For there is no one more inward than I Fade into me as I fade into You
In four and a half minutes this man takes the listener into another world...if you are at work, bored out of your skull, fed up to the teeth with some job you hate doing...take a toilet break, some headphones, this version of this song, lock yourself in that toilet, maybe even cry a few tears which will help with stress.....and see and hear what the world should be like.................return to your seat in that crappy job...and SMILE inside. This is the PERFECT escape song...and SIMPLE.....................why does life have to be so complicated??
Just have to say, ... 'No words'! - Just lost a GREAT elderly friend. She lost her beloved husband, best friend a few years ago & has missed him so. She fought cancer & had won the battle, however, recent health complications. She recently passed & this song was played on piano for her at her funeral by her youngest daughter... ONE LAST TIME🙏😇 She would play it for her all the time💕 What a timeless song🙏
sangeeta banerjee it helps create a soundtrack to life. That any specific song at anytime can take u back to a moment and bring with it all the powerful emotions, and vivid details that weren’t necessarily consciously remembered at the time. Ever get that? Can give chills sometimes:)
@@dominicbarratt3433 thanks😊....so true...we relate well to a particular moment or a memory with songs... music searches the soul...soul searches the music that stirs, soothes and haunts it to go back to that moment... off course I do feel them nd the chills too. I don't limit myself to a particular genre or language...I explore a lot...and some get sorted out... it's a huge number but accessible... unlike books or movies.😊😊
Dominic Barratt isn’t it unbelievable that so many of us refuse to be vulnerable, and repress all of the powerful emotions that bring tears to our eyes. Feeling is what gives life meaning. Music is a gateway to that like nothing else
Big fan of acoustic. My wife and I have had some problems recently and this song has really hit home with us. It says everything about how we feel about each other regardless of how life has separated us. I love you baby.
Dave, you need to let go, she's with me now and were having a baby, I figured this was probably the best way to break it to you, we both love you but it is time to face your reality - Your Loving Brother
Iron Feliks, you need to let go bro, she's with me now and likes ladies best. I figured this was probably the best way to break it to you. It is time to face your reality - Your Loving Sister
I can’t listen to this without crying. All the tough things I have been through, war, death of young men and constant physical pain in my body from years of doing what I thought was right...... I know that deep inside I am that 10 yr old boy whose still afraid of the dark without the woman I said “I do” . 😕
I sang this beautiful song to my new born baby.. As a first time mother I was engulfed by love, fear, and the feeling that nothing existed but my daughter. These lyrics touched on feelings of vulnerability, confusion, and completely being in the here and now.
Whenever I hear those first three notes, the song comes to me like an instinct, it is beautiful, and teaches us to be with one another while we still have the time.
Gary, this song cannot be diminished by anything you (or anyone) may say or how many times it's said, this song captures (in a most pure way) something so special. Thank You
This song touches so many nerves deep inside me it can be hard to stand up. If you are here today tell someone one and show them you love them and I hope you have a fantastic day today and forever.
Amazing, just amazing. Gary Lightbody is so brilliant. Must see the group - Snow Patrol from NI. . I need to see and understand the full lyrics. I want Tom to play this at my funeral on acoustic. We need a singer. x
Fantastic, its funny when you know a song so well. Well you think you do. Then listening it to it like this, you appreciate it more and absorb the lyrics and hear them for the first time..
This is a beautiful song and I just stopped for gas in my SUV. I never gave the song a chance when I heard it on the radio I lost my mom to cancer she had lupus as well now here we are history repeating itself now I'm 36 and I have cancer. I love my beautiful wife Tamela I love my two beautiful children Ethan and Makayla. These are the kind of songsthat make your life so meaningful and Rich no matter how long you have or have short it's going to be I've come a long way in my life from being a songwriter for various musicians such as Jason Mraz and a few other artists that are Christian artists.that was one of my favorite songs that he is overdone simplicity and beautiful lyrics and that's all it is romanticizing just lying there and enjoying each other in the time that God has given us. This in my opinion is his big fish do you understand what I'm saying?
This song can have many different meanings and points of views. When I was younger, I thought of it in the point of view of a child watching cars drive by or of dogs chasing after cars. Than when I was a little bit older, I thought about it being about a relationship/crush or death/birth even. Love it no matter what.😗😗
This song is my all time favorite!!! It helped me through an extremely unexpected break up and gives me hope. Thank you Snow Patrol. Thank you Gary Lightbody.♥️♥️
So powerful. With just a guitar and his voice. Wow. Such a great song. 100 years from now someone will be listening to this song and feeling the same emotions we do right now. Great songs last forever.
This song was on the radio as I left hospital when my mother passed away and started playing on the radio when my wife gave birth to our baby daughter.
Goosebumps. Always liked this song but this performance was perfection. Glad the radio version is pretty much the same. Radio version just isn't THIS version. 😊
My wife and I use to sing this when she had cancer. She died from that disease but I have this of many memories. Thanks
I'm so sorry for your loss. Take care.
God bless you and your wife x
The beauty of music with so much emotion in it particularly when this guy sings just brings me too tears, I used to listen to this when I was being treated for cancer in 2007, I was obviously very lucky......Im very sorry for your loss
This song is so full of strength. My Mom had breast cancer. I know how this song can make you feel. Nothing but love bro.
It is a special song. My wife turned me onto it. I met her in 65, lost track, met again online in 2006. Got married after all that , and this song would be part of our soundtrack.
The innocence of this song, in terms of simplicity and lyrics makes this one of the best songs of the last 20 years.
Agreed. I love so many songs, but this song somehow makes the cut on songs I love, no matter how simple it is.
Yea I love this song. I remember first hearing it on Grey’s Anatomy during Cali’s crash scene I think 🤔 powerful.
Saw Snow Patrol open for U2 some years ago. He did the song this way and it blew me away! The entire stadium was quiet. It was one of the most amazing concert experiences of my life!
Yes, YES, Y. E. S.
💯
His voice is so beautiful. No auto tune, no frills just raw , insane talent

Jerod Marlow thankyou for your reply jerod, I feel for you also so sorry you lost your daughter at the age of just 14 so sad, life can be so unfair.
Bless you Ronald, your comment really touched me, it’s a very special song and I hope that you find some comfort in it.
So sorry, she sings it with angels now every day 😉
Oh Ronald I’m so sorry. Take some comfort in the music 😢
If you are listening this in 2024 then man you really have a great taste in music!!!! Welcome to elite music club 🫶🏻
Hello I’m here
Will be listening forever❤

Well said
whos Gilmour?
Mostly it's not what you play, but what you don't. You know. Let it breath.
That’s an incredibly wise remark.
Thank you.
This song is one of those songs which defines moments in one’s life.
I have a wedding video and this song was chosen as the music background
You‘ve brought it to the point .

one of the most beautiful songs ever written it will remain a classic forever
I agree! 👍
I lost the love of my life ... knew it was coming and I would play this over/over/over with her...enjoying every moment...the song fit...and now she is gone and I remember the joy we shared while she was with me, just being alive...we knew those were precious moments and now all i have are memories. But this is a beautiful song from the heart.

Me to this is the first song I learned on a 30 pound guitar,I've stretched to an epiphone now
Good luck with ur playing... an excellent obsession and therapy
guitar is the best instrument ever 😎
Almost coming up on 2 years myself! I’ve transitioned from 5-10 minutes to 30-45 a day. Starting to write my own songs. It’s a joyous hobby!
That's what happened to me in 1975; I'm up to 23 guitars now. And why do I have 23 guitars? Because I haven't bought my twenty fourth yet...
It's a gift to be able to write such a good song with such simple notes.
I am beginning to think it might be an Irish thing? U2 do a lot of songs with just a few chords too! Any ideas?

It was alright again.
Than, another attack... Oxygen. Okay for now.

Every time I hear the song I can't understand how such a simple song, with only 3 chords can be so beautiful
He just painted a masterpiece with two brush strokes that made other artists' work look like paint by numbers.
In four and a half minutes this man takes the listener into another world...if you are at work, bored out of your skull, fed up to the teeth with some job you hate doing...take a toilet break, some headphones, this version of this song, lock yourself in that toilet, maybe even cry a few tears which will help with stress.....and see and hear what the world should be like.................return to your seat in that crappy job...and SMILE inside.
This is the PERFECT escape song...and SIMPLE.....................why does life have to be so complicated??
Like Gary says in "Empress" "it's so damn simple, yeah"
How'd you know I was pooping?
Perfect.. Well done and said.. :D
Quit your job
On the verge of jacking it in!
This comment made me smile.😁
That's our boy's song it's been 15 "years now miss him so much would love to meet you that's his band xx
WOW ! Simple, raw, moving, and deep. See how so little can do oh so much?
Definitely one of the best songs ever written imo for sure. Its so simple but conveys so much.
Just have to say, ... 'No words'! - Just lost a GREAT elderly friend. She lost her beloved husband, best friend a few years ago & has missed him so. She fought cancer & had won the battle, however, recent health complications. She recently passed & this song was played on piano for her at her funeral by her youngest daughter... ONE LAST TIME🙏😇
She would play it for her all the time💕 What a timeless song🙏
Amazing talent, awesome song!!!!
Music heals in a very subtle and beautiful way.😍😍
sangeeta banerjee it helps create a soundtrack to life. That any specific song at anytime can take u back to a moment and bring with it all the powerful emotions, and vivid details that weren’t necessarily consciously remembered at the time. Ever get that? Can give chills sometimes:)
@@dominicbarratt3433 thanks😊....so true...we relate well to a particular moment or a memory with songs... music searches the soul...soul searches the music that stirs, soothes and haunts it to go back to that moment... off course I do feel them nd the chills too.
I don't limit myself to a particular genre or language...I explore a lot...and some get sorted out... it's a huge number but accessible... unlike books or movies.😊😊
Dominic Barratt isn’t it unbelievable that so many of us refuse to be vulnerable, and repress all of the powerful emotions that bring tears to our eyes. Feeling is what gives life meaning. Music is a gateway to that like nothing else
The filming is like it's from the 1970s!
Des T It certainly does! I lived it = Wish we had Snow Patrol then! My husband dressed the same and had the exact same hair as Gary!
haha wtf this song was released in 2006...
Des T it’s basic and honest
And your point being?
so is the sonics T
What a sincere song... not enough words to describe
Brilliant thanks for this beautiful song😊
Have heard this in years. Glad this showed up in my feed in late 2024.
Wow.... just wow, that was amazing!! ❤️
I just loved it when the singers we used to listen to just take a guitar and 3 chords and make a live music video that looks this dope. Respect 🖖
This Gary, this must be one of the most beautifulest songs ever ever written period !
Big fan of acoustic.
My wife and I have had some problems recently and this song has really hit home with us. It says everything about how we feel about each other regardless of how life has separated us.
I love you baby.
Dave, you need to let go, she's with me now and were having a baby, I figured this was probably the best way to break it to you, we both love you but it is time to face your reality - Your Loving Brother
Iron Feliks the fuck tho 😂😂😂
I love you baby.
Iron Feliks, you need to let go bro, she's with me now and likes ladies best. I figured this was probably the best way to break it to you. It is time to face your reality - Your Loving Sister
David E I can relate. Marriage is a tough one.
Still touches my heart today and makes me feel incredibly vulnerable... I love your Spirit Gary -- Thanks! #SnowPatrol
I can’t listen to this without crying. All the tough things I have been through, war, death of young men and constant physical pain in my body from years of doing what I thought was right...... I know that deep inside I am that 10 yr old boy whose still afraid of the dark without the woman I said “I do” . 😕
Damn dude. That's beautiful
I sang this beautiful song to my new born baby.. As a first time mother I was engulfed by love, fear, and the feeling that nothing existed but my daughter. These lyrics touched on feelings of vulnerability, confusion, and completely being in the here and now.
Whenever I hear those first three notes, the song comes to me like an instinct, it is beautiful, and teaches us to be with one another while we still have the time.
Gary is simply an amazing artist, he’s beyond good ❤
Wow... this video reminds me of the first time I heard the song. Like many, it was a much simpler time for me, and I wish I could go back.
This Gary Lightbody Song Chasing Cars Is Gary's Most Innocent Track Covers.
Thank You For Your Sharing Your Music.
Timeless Lyrics 👍
One of the few songs that would really bring tears into your eyes..especially when you sing or listen to it alone in your dim lighted room 💡🎶🕯💕🔦🎸
Every so often, a song will be written that will stay with us forever. For me, this song still makes me feel the same as it did when i first heard it.
Gary, this song cannot be diminished by anything you (or anyone) may say or how many times it's said, this song captures (in a most pure way) something so special. Thank You
This song touches so many nerves deep inside me it can be hard to stand up. If you are here today tell someone one and show them you love them and I hope you have a fantastic day today and forever.
Still here.2024.Cheers.
Amazing, just amazing. Gary Lightbody is so brilliant. Must see the group - Snow Patrol from NI. . I need to see and understand the full lyrics. I want Tom to play this at my funeral on acoustic. We need a singer. x
what a voice it's simply clear and so ok attractive to the ears. lyrics uncontestable.😍😍😍
Agree wholeheartedly :)
Fantastic, its funny when you know a song so well. Well you think you do. Then listening it to it like this, you appreciate it more and absorb the lyrics and hear them for the first time..
This is a beautiful song and I just stopped for gas in my SUV. I never gave the song a chance when I heard it on the radio I lost my mom to cancer she had lupus as well now here we are history repeating itself now I'm 36 and I have cancer. I love my beautiful wife Tamela I love my two beautiful children Ethan and Makayla. These are the kind of songsthat make your life so meaningful and Rich no matter how long you have or have short it's going to be I've come a long way in my life from being a songwriter for various musicians such as Jason Mraz and a few other artists that are Christian artists.that was one of my favorite songs that he is overdone simplicity and beautiful lyrics and that's all it is romanticizing just lying there and enjoying each other in the time that God has given us. This in my opinion is his big fish do you understand what I'm saying?
Just stumbled on this by accident had totally forgotten about it. First heard it on Radio had to find it and I loved it.
This song can have many different meanings and points of views. When I was younger, I thought of it in the point of view of a child watching cars drive by or of dogs chasing after cars. Than when I was a little bit older, I thought about it being about a relationship/crush or death/birth even. Love it no matter what.😗😗
The simplicity is breathtaking.
This song is my all time favorite!!! It helped me through an extremely unexpected break up and gives me hope. Thank you Snow Patrol. Thank you Gary Lightbody.♥️♥️
2024 and its still THE most requested song on almost every radio show.
Incredible writing of a song! 👍👍
So powerful. With just a guitar and his voice. Wow. Such a great song. 100 years from now someone will be listening to this song and feeling the same emotions we do right now. Great songs last forever.
This is my favorite version of the song bcuz it’s not loud it’s just an acoustic guitar and Gary’s amazing voice
Couldn't think of a more beautiful song to fit so many happy memories.
Masterpiece. Period.
This is honestly one of the greatest things. So simple it really gives credit to the lyrics
Omg. I actually cried. This song is perfect in my eyes.
This song was on the radio as I left hospital when my mother passed away and started playing on the radio when my wife gave birth to our baby daughter.
Wow man! So damn good...just plucking two strings and sounding so soulful....this is music now. Feels like myself singing it.
Damn this used to be our song man
Tough listening to this now
Goosebumps. Always liked this song but this performance was perfection. Glad the radio version is pretty much the same. Radio version just isn't THIS version. 😊
