I only had one listen to the other 2 songs off Lightning Strike, had another listen to it a few months later and I heard Daybreak- I couldn't believe that I hadn't had another listen to this song!! Gary's voice just sounds wonderful in this song particularly, my favorite off the album.
I like What If This Storm Ends as well, Sunlight Through The Flags- not as much. The whole album gets better the more I listen to it. :D
I have my favourites but all i'll say is, Fantastic and beautiful music throught the whole album :)). 5 stars naturally :D and ty SathonPM for the upload :)
This song completes the album to make it as perfect as it could be! I jam this song in our house while I listen to Snow Patrol with my acoustic guitar amplified.
I feel like I'm a recording artist already! I sound like him..hehehe
SP ROCKS LIKE SP!(Smashing Pumpkins-my 1st favorite band) .\m/
i don't hate the first song, but its def my least fav out of the 3. but the first time i heard that last part...fantastic!!! i rank it right up there with grazed knees and run. viva la snow patrol!!!
a huge track indeed!, this one really stands out even amongst an amazing album. I think they start and finish very strongly with this and if there's a rocket tie me to it. but i do really enjot crack the shutters, engines and disaster button.
snow patrol songs are awlays about negative stuff....finally something uplifting...before i get the haters i saw snow patrol at kings tuts and fat sams as polar bears...i also saw them on the fina straw tour and eyes open tour...i saw them 2 weeks ago in the secc....
I seen them last night in newcastle, i will always remember this night, Gary's voice is so amazing, this song is one of there best, i like it even better that its so long.
this tune just wipes out everything I've heard for the last 50 years, apart from gimme shelter,, vincent, tears of,,,, bohemian rhapsody, anything by marvin gaye, bruce, prince, motown, dubliners, pogues, northern soul, beach boys, beatles, stones, miles davis anyway anything... one of greatest tracks.
seems everytime snowpatrol bring out an album that there can be big hits eg chassing cars from eyes open, but there is massive variation in people fav's and collection of fav's off the album, each song has a personal attraction which highlights it to each individual, this is why snow patrol is pure brilliance!
Just to reitterate what's already been said: this is indeed a brilliant track. This would make a great single - uplifting after the more sombre [but still great Crack The Shutters], but I doubt it will be released, based upon the fact of how it's packaged in the album.
hey, does anyone at all know where i can download, im happy to pay, doesnt have to be free, but free is always best ;), the lightning strike? all three parts preferably, but even just one part, i cant get it anywhere without buying the whole album with it. i love this band and this song is amazing, musically and lyrically, so, please help? thanks
Anyone else having the same experience as me? At first when I heard Lightning Strike, I only loved one of the three parts, and didn't think much of the others. After a day of listening, I discovered I loved two of them, but still didn't really go for the third. And now I've found I love them all equally.
Grand, but I'd rather go for "more than anything I want to see you girl to take a glorious bite off the whole world"... or any line from "You Could Be Happy". That song just makes me fly ;)
Well, I used Muse's Invincible for my best friend twice, once in 2007 and once in 2008 the same day! It's special because so few bands actually make love songs, and they're just great. YCBH, that's my fav SP song... (although I just listened to SDYG yesterday: masterpiece)

They have reached new highs with this album, and that's saying something after Eyes Open.
"It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained
It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing
That we could see for miles and miles
And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I was your little life raft
Please know that you were mine as well
Astounding, heartfelt beauty
