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

There are not many posr-rock songs (with English vocals) that evoke nostalgic, emotional thoughts about someone special. And yet, I always find myself singing along by halfway through, right back in the present moment, enjoying the song in both moments at once.

Like what you like. Don't like what you don't like. But I see no point in taking time to denigrate any music, unless you're paid to be a media critic (and you have the qualifications to do so).
You are being too generous to media critics. I wouldn't exclude them - they don't know my mind any better than other assholes do.

I remember Snow Patrol when I went to a concert of U2 back in 2009 at Zagreb and Snow Patrol were there as pre-show. I remember giant stage of U2, light warm breeze when I entered the stadium and Snow Patrol just playing this song. What a feeling it was. A great memory of a great day.
Begins like one of my favorites by The Ocean Blue, which is awesome on a bright Christmas morning, and hey, I love this song a lot, too!

Great track but I've had trouble enjoying it as a complete song since the first time I heard the Every Car You Chase / Police mashup. Just brilliant.

I agree. I like Snow Patrol. I like 1000s of other bands too. I can like them all. If they're a favorite of someone, and you don't like it, then don't follow them, and simply move on. To each their own.
settle. there is a lot more to get upset about than Snow Patrol. they're fine.

2. There is a lot more to get upset about than Snow Patrol. And Snow Patrol is indeed "fine." I see nothing incorrect about the statement.
3. Music taste is subjective, but there's way worse offenders in music than Snow Patrol. Snow Patrol is not the death of music (I'd argue that it's Pitbull, but that's another discussion). If it was, we wouldn't have survived The Monkees, Extreme, John Mayer, or Nickelback.

Something is wrong. RP usually does not saturate its mix with as much FM pablum. That is, as of a year or several months ago.

Beautiful song for this sunny spring Sunday afternoon. Thanks, RP!
This totally destroyed my Mazzy vibe...
Please, I beg you, no more Snow Patrol. I can find that easily enough on any one of a number crappy fm stations.

Sometimes it's ok to suspend your sofistication and just allow that because something is more generally accessible doesn't warrant your contempt. This song works whether you like it or not.
Does anyone else like the irony in spelling 'sofistication' wrong?
Also, the whole theory isn't as complicated as you think. It goes like this:
If you like a song, then it works - for you.
If I fucking hate a song (like oh, I don't know, Chasing Cars) then the song didn't work - for me.
See? It's not that hard. There's more than one way to look at it.
Plus, that's the only logical explanation for Hole having fans.

I think Matt Johnson of The The best explained why bands lose something once they become overexposed and used in commercials, etc.:
"You discover something that's close to your heart and which resonates with your own private experiences, and then before you know it, it's completely over exposed and everybody's discovered it, devoured it and then discarded it. Before it's even had a chance to breathe and develop."
That said, Snow job Patrol offered little to begin with...
Agreed in part my friend, but as a band they have actually worked very hard for well over 10 years. The advent of their 'big break', while shunting them down the route of 'over exposed commercials' and American TV shows, does make it difficult sometimes to stand back and remain impartial to all the 'hype'. They work hard and are very serious about the music they create. I actually listened to this album for the first time EVER last weekend and was very surprised at how good an album it is.......you have to hand it to a band (ok, ok their label and management) when the first 6 tracks have all hit the top 10 in the charts (UK & Ireland anyway). That doesn't happen to too many artists........
Interminable.

The Saturday morning music videos on commercial TV are playing this every week now.
The trendoids at the railway station are having loud conversations about Snow Patrol and how hip they are. (I'm sure who the hip ones are, I think they use the power of osmosis to suck in the coolness.)
In short..... I'm sick of it and now that I am associating this with shallow empty commercialism, it makes me sick.

Thanks for playing current stuff too. I like this song and hope you keep it on the playlist...

I'm shocked this is on the playlist of radioparadise.com
not that i ever considered snow patrol to be on top of the hill, but...their shit has gone downhill. kinda sappy now. i mean they're on vh1 now for god's sake...
How much longer do we have to hear this song .... it seems it is within earshot every three minutes.
For the LOVE of GHANDI, please STOP playing this god damn song! It's repulsive and plays constantly! Ahhhh, where is the mute button?? Make it stop, I beg you!

Precisely put, beautiful but overplayed. We're lucky it's not overplayed here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - there is no such thing as over-played. You are in control of your own exposure to media. Even more so in the days of digital music.
Just remember, there is no spoon . . .

Also significantly overplayed up here in the Seattle area. But I like more and more every time I hear it. Has a certain emotion to it.

Let me just sharpen up my razor blade.... ah, yes, that will do nicely.
Roll your sleeves up like so. And always clean your wrists first. Very important.
Now remember kids... always slash up and down, never side to side. We're not interested in going to the emergency room. No, no. The funeral parlor is our destination.

This is a great, and in some cities, overplayed song. I have heard in on a tv show and it was the perfect compliment to the emotional moment.
You're probably ready for another great song from the cd, so listen to "It's Beginning To Get To Me."
Try it, you'll like it! --Greg
nett!
I liked their last album. This album is a big disappointment!
This guy needs a new girlfriend or a better outlook on life (or both).
Spare us.
is it the melody? is it the syncopation?
is it the lyrics? Is it how I feel?
this song caught me
Saw the music video while in a hotel last week (I don't get cable). Kinda interesting, lying in the middle of the street...
stop the the whinnnnning!

Yes... yes it is.
I was hoping I would never hear this stupid song on RP.

AAAACK! Call the Grammar Police!
Totally overplayed on the radio here. Probably not the song or band's fault, but it still sucks

I hear this all the time on XM (no, I can't listen to Radioparadise all the time). I still like it, but I can foresee overdosing. But then again, my youngest, he's 14 and doesn't live with me anymore (how could I tell him that staying in Phoenix is better than Paris?)-he likes Snow Patrol. So I listen and know my kiddie likes this too.
Life in a fuzz box. Bzzzzzhhhht!
very nice...

wow.. is this what we've become - snowpatrol as a favourite band appalls me, for anyone to even consider listening to their utter drivel genuinely depresses me. why are these kinds of bands our musical yardstick? there is so much incredible music out there written by bands and ppl who are so genuinely talented, creative and original, why are we not listening to them and giving them our time and our support and our money? everytime this piece of **** band gets played on the radio another much more deserving band misses out. and everytime we go to their concerts or buy their horseshit albums we support mediocrity and deny it to the many creative, talented and hardworking artists who work and play their arses off - not for money or fame or recognition - but for the music itself. and what happens when up and coming musicians and fans of music hear nothing but this kind of **** day in day out..? think about it.. we all lose so much by listening to this nonense, it hurts us all and robs us of the awe and satisfaction and appreciation of truly great music. it dumbs us down and helps turn us into a 'plantation' for commercial, brain-numbing, shallow, watered down shite. and to those who know better it makes us look ******* stupid. im sorry, this is an elitist thing to say but i cant take anyone who likes this kind of music seriously as a person. not only do i resent you for supporting undeserving turds to the detriment of the bands and music i love and support - you're now suspect and i judge you instantly as irrational, shallow, boring, tasteless and stupid. and im rarely proven wrong, stupid people like stupid music and snowpatrol is more than stupid, theyre like a bad joke that has gone way way too far.
Have you considered therapy?
