  • Aaaaahhhhh, seeing them tomorrow night in Aberdeen :)

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW this is one of my favorite songs because it's so meaningful. <3 JUST LOVE IT!

  • i was there

  • How many of you have heard retards saying "WHO THE FUCK IS THIS SNOW PATROL AND WHY ARE THEY COPYING LEONA LEWIS' SONG!?"

    Makes me want to murder their whole family and dog.

  • Muse snow patrol and cold play best bands evrrrrrr

  • @MrAlphaownz

    Agree. And Oasis.

  • I get goosebumps every time -3 love snow patrol and the original version way more than leonas ;)

  • Taste are always different these guys sing it in the intended version and its truly a cool song but i still like Leona's version better.

    Oh an by the way what does looks have to do with the voice?!?!?!? Besides, she's a babe... most heterosexual guys like her and furthermore, i can never get the ugly references when talking music anyway...

    I guess Susan Boyle would have NO CHANCE with some people!!!...

  • @ELobodeplata

    Who cares about Leona? Her version is only a cover of this masterpiece. This is the original version and they wrote it.

  • @summerrain8 Masterpiece? There are TONS of examples of covers outperforming their authors, just ask Aretha Franklin's versions of ANYTHING usually kills, Cockers version of "a little help from my friends" Houstons interpretation of the National Anthem, Pavarotti &James Brown version of "It's a Mans World" you just can't toss out covers because you feel slighted, that's NOTmusic my friend. Even insanity like Yoko Ono's stuff deserves a luk, WELL? Maybe NOT:D It's all just opinion so RELAX! :)

  • @ELobodeplata

    I think her cover is good, and she's a very talented singer, but the original version is much better. Her cover shows what she can do with her voice, but there is no real emotion in it like the original version has. Same with her "cover of "Hurt". It sounds very good, and her voice is outstanding, but it doesn't reach the original of NIN.

  • @summerrain8 WOW... What a wonderful breakdown and i can see yout point perfectly and i will agree big time with you... As a songwriter my self I can see your points and agree 100%. The thing i would like to ask you is about the lyrics. I would love to find out the TRUE meanig of the lyrics do you know where to get that? Eg's: Light Up, Light up, As if you had a choice... I too love the effect It gives me but don't really get the true meaning. Just an example of the words?!? But i still love it!

  • @ELobodeplata

    He said in some interviews that he wrote it in a very bad time of his life, and the "light up" means he hopes things get better (a light at the end of the tunnel). So this song is very personal to him.

  • @ELobodeplata There is no such thing that "Leona's version". It was created by somebody else so she could performed at X-Factor. She has nothing to do with this song.

  • one of the best song ever

  • love this song;3

  • his smile at the end.. this song makes me cry <3 I'm not a sisi im just really into music :P

  • last 30 seconds gave me goosbumps XD

  • just epic...greetz from Hamburg City

  • titp 2012? seeing them in January but it would be amazing to see them at T!!

  • @KafkaUniverse fuck off it's a amazing song keep it simple instead of going into all the shite detail you posh geeky guff!

  • May be the most beautiful rock song ever. This time, unfortunately, it seem Gary sort of "nonchalants" it, chopping the melody lines, and seems not to be as into it. Understandable, though, if you perform it repeatedly I guess. I could care less about Leona's recording of it, however it's cool she pays homage to it at least

  • @KafkaUniverse pish.

  • Awesome, gave me chills when the crowd sang alone! Amazing band, amazingly touching music! I love you Gary! Xxx

  • Comment removed

  • Seen these at Oxegen the same weekend.. All i can say was Amazing : )

  • i think i`ll turn into a goose!

  • Absolutely amazing... Wish i was there. What an experience it would have been!

  • 5.29 need i say more

  • 23 people don't have the choice to light up :/

  • Scott pilgrim bass

  • Check out Oxegen 2009, I'd dare to say it sounds even better than this... must be AMAZING to be on that stage and hear, literally, thousands of voices singing back to you....

  • Great song! Check out Connie Talbot cover of it. Pretty amazing!

  • was in the crowd and it was amazing :D one of the best points of my life.

  • Press 9 and listen. <3

  • Gary's kewl just let them sing and he plays for them [ 5:04 look at his reaction ~Priceless~!!!] shows that he cares ;D the ending was really kewl! i think he was shocked.. tehhe wouldnt blame him :) the CROWD IS ALSOME AND THE BAND IS WAAAYYY KICKASS

  • One of the single most amazing moments of the bands' lives, I would think. Fantastic. :)

  • Amazing performance of an absolutely epic song.

    Just pisses me off so much that they allowed horseface (Leona Lewis) to absolutely fucking murder it.

    and it fucks me off even more when people refer to it as Leona Lewis's Run. You don't own a fucking song until you have written it.

  • Comment removed

  • @Leediverify As much as I love Snow Patrol I feel embarrassed to share the same fan base as yours. Listening to this song and at the same time referring other people as horse faces and getting all pissed off and "fucked up". And just logically, if they've known this song not by its original writer or singer but by another singer, I have to say that THAT another singer fuckin deserved it. All respect to Snow Patrol tho.

  • @Leediverify You're so right, man!

  • I'd kill to be at a live show like that.

  • Awsome :) i love sniw patrol

  • Where's the "Love" button? Awesome live version! What an honor to have the audience singing your lyrics back at you with such power. :) Talk about getting good energy back! And yes Gary's smile says it all!

  • The end of this song made me shiver!

  • god i love gary, such an amazing musician!

  • i get goosebumps when i her this, just amazing

  • You are right! This is awesome... Goodness... Greatness!! His face at the end is priceless and I bet is if not the best but ONE of the best feelings any musician cam feel..!

  • AWW this is EPIC .his face at the end is just priceless, he looks so happy that makes me happy too !

  • pahahaha....I love Ireland...but there is no chance the crowd is better. Artists from every genre have said the Scots are the best crowd...by far!!!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing :) <3

  • un,foooook,nbeliveabelllll hail hail

  • Hail Snow Patrol , hail Bonny Scotland Can't wait till they come back to NYC !

  • nothing 2 beat d irish crowd at oxegen 2009  way way better

  • @148word Linkin park aren't "light rock"

  • got goosebumps as the crowd sang it at 5:06 and he just stopped and listened :)

  • @TeacHa91 He always does that in concert

  • @xraidknightx I like the way you put that. I'm sort of just discovering what I like actually. I guess it would be classified as light rock, OneRepublic, Linkin Park, etc. I also like a little bit of electronic. Aquarium by Nosaj thing sounds cool.

  • @148word its ok to not like a song, its people that bash the hell out of it that should get flamed. its like getting pissed at a person for not liking a certain food

  • @148word

    Tastes are different. I love it!

  • Amazing deal on full weekend ticket and camping!!!!!! Ebay item number 11071090493

  • live at oxegen is better ! check it out

  • watch the video of them singing this song at oxygen in 2009.......and listen to the crowd there!! :)

  • Comment removed

  • omg i never knew this is an original song by snow patrol.fucking shame on me.....makes this song much more beautiful

  • Can someone explain to me the meaning of these lyrics? It's so beautiful and everyone can interpret it, but has the band ever spoken about what the lyrics mean to them>

  • Finale da brivido!!!

  • :)

  • nobody who has felt love and longing can dislike this song...

  • @chaosinthehouse yeah they can if this song reminds them of memories of such...

  • the difference between this performance and the one at oxegen is that this one is more special because it kinda looks like they have just discovered how much his song is loved by everyone

  • this gave me goose bumps..

    wish i was there, i love stoners

  • brilliant!

  • @Atomicbetsy14 if you think this is amazing, watch their live performance of the song at Oxegen festival. That is really breathtaking!!!

  • WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!

  • wow, i can feel the song, i am about to cry!whew!

  • wow!

  • indeed a great song.. always makes me so sad as it reminds of playing onstage with a good friend that left us in a terrible crash. thanks for posting this great song. Hypnotic.

  • best performance ever!! gr8 snowpatrol

  • This is just absolutely one of those songs that makes ya realise that there is some humanity left in this world,and some amazing people

  • Im in love with this song and especially with this version !!! It causes shivers anytime i listen to....and the message within is so special - like an *inner-light-up* ! :-) It´s not the time, the *how long*....we are into something, with someone....the main thing is : to leave all behind, by side....to be with the one you love...even it´s just for a few days...or less. So, have heart my dear.....RUN ;-)

  • Cant stop watching the last bit, the crowd were AMAZING!

  • god i love this band!!!! i wish they would come to LA soon!

  • Camfy ur an idiot no ones version is better , snow patrol originally did the song and the original is always better

  • even if you can not hear my voice

    I`ll be right beside you ,dear....

    Fantastischer Text und wunderschönes Lied.1000mal authentischer und mit mehr Gefühl als die Coverversion von L.Lewis.Gänsehaut pur...

  • Gänsehaut pur ab 4:59 ....love it!

  • 4:57 so beautiful !

  • what a song, must feel amazing to hear back the crowd sing the songs you write. wish my band had that opportunity :(

  • no, our world isnt all about war. i mean look at that crowd... have i say more?

  • @dave54435 No contest, Snow Patrol have it Leona lewis ,eat your heartr out

  • you've been the only thing that's right in all I've done :)

  • Anders als bei Leona Lewis spürt man bei Gary Lightbody die gesamte Wehmut im Song und in der Tonation seiner Stimme. Leona singt den Song toll, aber es wirkt aufgesetzt, fast schon künstlich. Wie gesagt, sie sing ihn - doch Snow Patrol lebt ihn - und das mit völliger Hingabe. Mit seinem aufgelösten Blick am Ende des Songs spricht er seine tiefste Dankbarkeit aus. Einfach immer noch der Freund von nebenan - authentisch.
