[Henrzable]

[JohnsFreakingAwesome]

Pause at 1:01 lmao!

[weirdunclebob]

Hurray! Not VEVO!

[leetonosaki]

Thats one of the things about this band i like ordinary blokes rocking out to some mindblowing anthems give us more guys :)

[dowling1981]

Definitely one of the best Welsh bands around

[1996clark]

@dowling1981 there not welsh there from northern ireland

[dowling1981]

@1996clark They are from Penryth in Wales, ken?

[1996clark]

@dowling1981 there from bangor in northern ireland check on the internet

[dowling1981]

@1996clark They have spent time there but they are Welsh. Have you seen them live?

[1996clark]

@dowling1981 no but ino for a fact they wer born in northern ireland

[dowling1981]

@1996clark They certainly have played there, but their Welsh roots are well-known. Do you think they are better than Travis?

[ferkilhign]

@dowling1981 umm dude their frm downpatrick in co.down ni

not scotland

[dowling1981]

@ferkilhign It's true that one of them has dsitant family there, but they were all reared in Scotland, ken?

[OxForeveeryoungOx]

2010 Conceert at Ward Park was Briilliiant (: Welcoomee Homee Garч.

[MySmileLT]

I wonder if Gary hit Jonny with his mic in the end of the video :D

Love this song, video and band -.-

[TyroneJJ7]

Very 'Americanesque' sound to this single. Good though. I'm sure Gary would not be impressed at being called "a geeky kind a guy"!!

[Josh78377]

These guys are amazing! Take back the city, what a beast of a song! :)

[MusicManBurk]

[bk97]

[EvaEverStar]

Just to remind everybody...Snow Patrol are a band from Northern Ireland....

[ninelivecat]

Snow Patrol are Half from Northern Ireland (County Down) Half from Scotland

[joe151sgc]

I love this song, These guys are great. i have been wondering who sings this one. I just keep finding songs from these guys I love. Not to mention the strange sexuality the singer exudes. God I just love him. Hes so hot for a geeky kind a guy!

[queeraslogan]

@joe151sgc you should see them in concert they're amazing, and in concert he's absolutely magnetic and his sexy accent!

[suckstoyourazmar]

HOLY CRAP its not racial hatred ITS BRITS AGAINTS IRISH duuuude this is the first time I've seen hate against another country other than the U.S. and its not about color of skin this is craaaaazy lol

P.S.

Bugger is a funny word. Especially since here in america it can mean an annoying child. when it was originally what the brits say it is. Ah language through the ages its fun to look back on.

[markos2310]

haha well everone hates the us. no offence :). nd its actually irish against brits. we have always been against them haha

[Ragnarok494]

well most of the terms the US use are archaic, cos the same words in britain mean something else these days whereas in US they're still much the same as they were originally. cept for gay... that one seems up to date...

[libertadoresenossa]

someone know where can i download this song???

[EDDIEY2J2008]

lime wire or i could send it via msn

[C94Roy]

Such a good song.

[Spot353]

I love this song but the music video makes me sick lol

[oscartoffee]

I'm really loving this song and Sleeping Sickness by City and Colour at the moment.

[rosbos6]

snow patro = great

[bohemiangirlxxx]

i love this song so much

[Mazerano]

Got a ticket for the concert in february! Fuckin yee ha!

[Vulgarth1]

Hah! I got one for the O2 in May!

[hogwartsianhobbit]

[dyson1664]

[kariy1]

oh baby baby

[ManelRuivo]

didnt like this band until this song.

i cant stop listening... its wonderful!

[HUFCawaytravel]

love snow patrol

[markos2310]

Its filmed in Belfast

[LOSTinFIGMENTS]

sorry to break this to you..mate its filmed in london...i am there in the video..

its a pub called "griffins"..a walk away from the old street underground...

only gary was there for the shoot...strange he is Irish...but has a scottish accent...though it seemed a put on.... :)

[GodBotherer1]

Northern Ireland is not Ireland. Gary is a Briton, he is not a potato eating, Guinness guzzling alcoholic Irishman.

Northern Ireland has a much different accent to the Republic of Ireland.

[LOSTinFIGMENTS]

alright i can understand your hatred towards the Irish...

forgive me mate...but what the fuck are you on about...what do i have to do with all this...

what are you..some messiah of the northern ireland...

bugger off mate..

[mountainbikeharry]

haha spot on

[paddymourinho]

two words....fuck off.

[GodBotherer1]

I wish you Irish would fuck off out of my country, bunch of commie bastards. You are the creator of industrial unions & you invented that civil war called The Eureka Stockade.

Bunch of Guinness guzzling piss pots, fuck off back to your peat bog shit hole.

[Vulgarth1]

Stereotypes aren't always true. It ain't like some Britons like me drink Guiness. Hehe, the only difference between any of the United Kingdom and the Rep. of Ireland is that we have different accents.

[xTastex]

Where are you From?

Not saying that in a creepy way , but you clearly have no idea what people in Ireland are like .

Potatoes arn't even Irish.

Northern Ireland is a part of Ireland , Hence the name.

Your obviously just a stereotypical person.

[ThRaX9119]

no it isnt

[SomeonestoleKSpin]

Does anyone know if this is London, or a different city in the UK?

[markos2310]

great song snd they just keep on gettin better and better!!!!!!!!!!!

[MyTesterAccount0xo]

i agree. this song is okay..

but they've changed, i loved their old, unique stuff.

this is becoming more and more familiar..

[welshdragon2008]

a bit like ur mother!

[ferg182]

hahaha!

[kingmabz1]

ONE OF THE BEST BANDS IN THE WORLD!!! LOL I LIKE THE FRAY TOO.. CNA'T CHOICE BETWEEN THEM LOLL :p

[supraroyalty]

great song, its a a realy good flow throughout the song

[Oli5075]

I think its a reaklly good song.

[stupidfaceweirdo]

this song is not that good, i dont really like it. I want the old snow patrol back

[chipgedlingfc]

it amazing snowpatrol rock

[tonymad2]

not a bad tune

[DutchMp3]

Well, the comments by the Jason gave me a few laughs. But notice this part. "Plenty of unintentionally submissive morons like yourself who can only resort to calling me names though." Well, by calling everyone a group of 'unintentionally submissive morons' then you've just gone back on the argument that you don't call people silly and child-like names. Hmm?

If the only reason you came was to laugh about a 'crap song' with your mates then fine. Do that. Just don't have a debate about it.

[something512]

DO they have a new disc? Or wich disc is this song?

[DriiniDude]

this is from their album a hundred million suns

[rorydes]

luv dis song woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! best song of the year except katie perry i kissed a girl and all of neyo's song

[xoxVivaLaVidaxox]

[cheezenuggetz199]

I'm not sure if I love the funny comments on this site or if I love this song!!!! I think I love the song! I like the three parts to the song. My boyfriend doesn't like it, but he plays a guitar and sees a lot of things he would do differently. I loved it!!

[speshjesh]

^^

Snow Patrol. <3

[bahitup]

what's going on with his eyes?

haha

i love snow patrol's music

[LilBarnsleyLad]

Awsome song luv it :D

[jimmyg9204]

[XxxAlixxX09]

[kairistwin]

It kind of does! But I think it was in the UK somewhere...

Great song anyway ;)

[ShinigamiWolf1]

Yeah there's a bit where it looks like he's down on the Quays, and another bit where he's on Henry street oor something :D

[xCourtneyisRandomx]

I love this song <3

[kdzillaaa]

Uhh, aside from idiots arguing on youtube..

I love this song! :]

[lucylouxxxxx]

Yay dazzler!

i agree this is the best song by snow patrol for ages!

and i agree that the eves are cool too - wanna be my friend? xxxxx

[ashleysevadjian]

uh..i had no clue snow patrol sung this..doesnt sound like them. not for me.

[feldschpah]

Guys, just mark Jason's rantings as spam. Cause, really, that's all they are.

[Peach2ftw]

lol ur so fucking sad u havent put up an argument worth talking about yet u still post on u must really have nice social life

[dv8dv8]

If there wasnt the music business you wouldnt be hearing the music you like at all. You better go smash your collection up lol.

[jasoneunson]

Apart from the fact that the music I listen to tends to be produced independently by unsigned artists who are in it for the music and not the money.

[k9thefirst]

how gay is that jason guy?

[jasoneunson]

Entirely heterosexual. If you connect a conversation about music with a person's sexuality the perhaps you should question your own sexual/mental health. Unless you attended a private school, in which case you're perfectly 'normal'.

[Krane167]

snow patrol is one of the best around along with the band Annasay. I just discovered Annasay on itunes recently though, but they have quickly become a favorite too

[billfaceman]

whos jason?

[billfaceman]

yh jason

[WhispGore]

Well, it has reached the point where I must thank Jasoneunson. Since posting at the beginning of this 'debate' to the very comment I'm typing, I must have listened to this song over a dozen times and now love it more than ever. Cheers pal haha.

Oh, on another note, I wouldn't mind another Snow Patrol song featuring Martha Wainwright, like 'Set the fire to the 3rd bar' just in case the band are following this video :D

[lottiesxx]

Jason why not keep your opinions to yourself?

calling the followers of this band 'simple minded' and leaving this comment on a video which fans are obviously going to view is a pretty simple-minded thing to do! and frankly a waste of time.

every video i view has an arguement beneath it!! Let everyone have their own opinions.

No one's opinion of music is any better than anyone else's, as it's personal taste.

Don't force your opinions on others.

..oh, and love the song! :) x

[hugocorden]

I see, i understand your point and can see where you are coming from, in these days, the music industry is massive and readily exploited, and i do not disagree with u on the fact that many artists/bands only perform for the money/fame that comes with being successfull. However, snow patrol (and lets not digress its snow patrol we're talking bout) have an indavidual sound, and in my opinion it would be hard to bring out 3/4 albums if u did not love the industry.

[hugocorden]

Secondly, u say that they steal from other bands. Music is a reflection of personal likes and dislikes, do u think that snow patrol are just going to sit around with thier ears blocked when not making music? no, they are going to listen to it too, and incoorperate sounds into thier music. Nothing can be totally original these days, but it can still be good.

Thirdly, ur opinion is worth something, but no one is going to listen to it. happy moaning

[dv8dv8]

How do you know they dont write from the heart? Why cant it just be a decent pop song without going into whether theyre credible or not? Your write music is a business, and they are in it to make money, just like every other artist. Im not a big fan of this type of music but good luck to them.

[Lazytownbaby]

love-age snow patrol!!!

and they're irish!!! YAY!!

[gilesmartin007]

all yo shut up

gr8 song

really really gd

[kymm1000]

jason you would like to be a pound note behind them. Where is your music mug

[Xderda]

Even though Jason is being a pain in the arse :)

[jasoneunson]

If you don't like my comments, don't read them :)

[Xderda]

jason i cant help but see your massive comments. and besides, i looked at them BEFORE i read them, if you get me

[Xderda]

yes, jason, thats a good idea. just walk around with earcorks in your ears, then you wouldnt hear it :)

[Xderda]

Bloody hell, will you lot STOP FUCKING ARGUING! Make up already -_-

[Peach2ftw]

oh and one more thing u say i shouldnt reproduce...lol lol lol lol ur such a self righteous arsehole if anyone should be sterile is u ..no get a life and stop posting crap on videos!!! and BIG UP northern ireland for having a singer worth talking bout!! gr8 song !!

[jasoneunson]

Yeh, no other reason to talk about NI is there? Haha.

[Peach2ftw]

oh and hey fellow utubers that want to just wtach videos and comment if therebad or good im sorry about draggin the arguement with jasoneunson out ..just dont like liberal shit coming on this website to post there views on the world when no one cares!!!again soz all and tc

[murph2461]

jason is just upset that he is a failed musician...if it's so easy to make this bad music...go ahead and try!

[jasoneunson]

Why would I want to embarrass myself by doing that? It's remarkable that everyone resorts to ad-hominem to quell their cognitive dissonance. Oh sorry, I'm using words that most idiots don't understand, I didn't realise that using the English language meant people would label you as someone trying to be better and more intelligent. It's another fucking ironic case in point. This is becoming tiresome, there's so many fucking morons here. Just what I expected tho....

[BrizBRFC]

FUCK YOU ! you the moron.

" im i using words that most idiots dont understand"

most people didnt know what you said there.

your trying to be a clever cocky bastard

fuck off !! man i hate people like you....always backing things up with shit people cant be assed to read !.....let me guess your going to reply how my grammer is...or my spellings shit ....MEH FUCK YOU

[BrizBRFC]

hahaha seriously shut up !!

your soo boring no one can be assed yo read yout comments you just go on and on and on and on and om...

I DONT IVE A FUCK !!!

[ponchoritchie]

ad-hominem is latin.

[lostfan66]

I hope you aren't one of those people that puts down everyone elses tastes in music Jasoneunson, no one is forcing you to listen to this, you go and listen to whatever music your interested in and stop trying to act like your some intelligent classical music lover who is somehow more intelligent or better than everyone else because you listen to classical stuff.

[jasoneunson]

I didn't say I like classical. And I've said 10 times I came here to confirm the name of a song, not to listen to it. Get your facts straight.

[Peach2ftw]

lo0l jasone u talk some amount of shit lol there is no point everyone this guy is mr fucking perfect!!! u will always be wrong

[jasoneunson]

But funnily, no-one has a decent argument against me. Plenty of unintentionally submissive morons like yourself who can only resort to calling me names though.

[hugocorden]

dude, my argument is good, u cannot deny my genius. In reply to ur last comment about recor signing, Snow Patrol started off in basements funded by college parties. The people on x factor, now THEY are after money and fame...

[Writer447]

If you hate it so much then why keep posting here, Jason? You're obviously just a troll with nothing better to do then bash the musical tastes of others.

[Writer447]

GTFO Jason.

[jasoneunson]

GTFO? Get to fuck off?!

[coloryellow6]

I'm torn whether to love this song or hate it.

It's catchy, but it's not the Snow Patrol I fell in love with.

[jasoneunson]

Do you think it's sad that people vote you down if you do anything other than kiss this band's ass? It's a very good indication of just how pathetic their fans are.

[coloryellow6]

Haha ya it's kind of stupid for doing that when someone's just sharing there opinion.

[Kaiseraph]

omgz these guys are so just copying uver bands, soz lamez. suckz lolz

[brownaleboi]

Who in particular do you think this song imitates? Personally I find it to be a fairly unique and enjoyable sound. In addition, aren't all new musicians influenced by already established artists? This phenomonon is known as "pop culture", as popular trends that make big revenue in ticket sales will often be repeated as it is good business sense. As a final point, please try to correct your spelling and grammer when you're making a point otherwise you will find noone will take you seriously.

[Kaiseraph]

Something is either unique or not, you cannot qualify a degree of 'uniqueness'.

Also: grammAr. :)

[jasoneunson]

Wow. You hit the nail right on the head without even realising it. "Popular trends that make big revenue in ticket sales will often be repeated". This is exactly the point I'm making!!! It's like copying a Monet or Da Vinci, then selling it as your own and passing yourself off as an original artist. It's deceitful, pathetic and fake. It's a fucking business, you're right, there's no art or creativity involved here.

[Optimus973]

Normally, I use youtube to listen to songs I like....I like Snow Patrol, have done since Chocolate, and Run. If I don't like something, I don't listen to it. I think I'm pretty tolerant to most stuff...and I also tend to leave only positive comments.

jasoneunson - you said in an earlier post "I'd fucking LOVE to not have to listen to this. At all, ever."

No-one forced you to type this song into Youtube, no-one forced you to stay and get into a discussion about a song/band you hate so much.

[jasoneunson]

Read the comments idiot, I came here to confirm the name and artist. I turned the volume down as soon as possible and every time I comment here now I have to hit the 'silence' button.

[StuBennett1972]

This is one of the best songs I've heard this century. I absolutely find it so fantastic.. Puts you in such a good mood..

[rob1107m]

fukin class song

[addpopulation]

I L-O-V-E this song

[bloodiestmuffin]

love it

[buythatmanadrink]

and i definately think jasoneuson must hav a small dick feeling the need to argue over a song that he doesnt like....dont bother writing back to this cus ur opinion means shit an il prob never be back on here 2 read it cus i dont giv a fuck!!!

ppppppeace!!!!!!

[jasoneunson]

I'm not arguing with anyone, I aired my opinion and people who were personally offended by my comment about a subjective matter decided to retort with idiot logic, moronic ad-hominem & bare assertion fallacies. All I'm doing is correcting their mistakes, & having a good laugh at their stupidity. Comments like yours are exactly what I expected from the kind of idiots who listen to this shit, and all you're doing is stereotyping yourself further.

Incidentally, my dick is much bigger than average.

[buythatmanadrink]

ok mothers in kongo?!?! now that is pretty bullshit chat there, were talkin about snow patrol and how jasoneuson is a narrow minded fuck who thinks that by tryin 2 be different by listenin to rock music and being 'different' to all you pop listeners he is in fact joinin another popular category-rock!! every1 has their own opinion on music
