Snow Patrol - The Lightning Strike

[buritta89]

hmn... I think they've influenced Coldplay on "Mylo Xyloto". Both are great anyway...

[msearthstone]

How do you describe their kinds of songs? Is there a way to correctly decribe the feeling you get listening to them. Sad yet it feels so beautiful and the lazy voice makes you feel totally mesmerized and the awesome lyrics. Why aren't they the most famous band? They're my fav :)

[halkidian79]

what if the storm ends ... and i don t see you ...

like gentle soft energy who needs to be matter ... matter weakened from time ... but to serve something upper ... that is love!

[kabiththeking]

One of my favourite from this album. Wonder why it was not a hit

[MeissnerMartin]

it was not a hit because they didn't release it as a single, so it couldn't chart.

[DmentedDemon]

This is my favorite song from A Hundred Million Suns. But this video is below par....

[kittiegoboom41]

i can't wait to see them September 16th!

[HighAltitudeProd]

september 29th for me! :D

[SaggioD]

Woo! September 27th AND 29th for me! See you in Upper Darby!

[tossmysalad65]

Hey check out my video upload of this song, i added the animation video from their 2009 world tour... AWESOME !!

[dggoogling]

Get to see this live in September when they come to Ohio. I'm in love with Part 1 of this song.

Thank you for sharing the video!

[Jazaebel]

why is that guy headbanging in the beginning?

lol, the music is not EVEN that intense.

[kittiegoboom41]

the lead singer, gary lightbody. and he does that with a lot of his songs- he's just that into it.

[linsy90]

i love how funny he looks when he's playing :L...even when he's in videos and they dont give him a guitar, he doesnt know what to do with his hands! he just sort of faffs with his fingers :L so sweet!

[stormtrooper179]

there good live

[malrey06]

wat if this storm ends sounds like a theme tune to some epic movie

[jakeboi]

Amazing song by amazing band, sounds very Ian Brown esque.

[WhyAnouk]

heeey I was there :D

[hacelepues]

this song is just abosolutely incredible.

snow patrol has harnessed their ability to make music that makes you feel like you're soaring to the next level. When I hear this song I honestly feel like it has wrapped itself around my soul and just sends it flying out into space.

that sounds incredibly cheezy... but it's true.

"be the lightning in me that strikes relentless"

ahhhhh amazing!

[thisisitbyabillion]

Very well put hacelepues, not cheesy at all. I'm just falling more in love with the lyrics on this album, they're incredible.

[Myleanne14]

i really agree with you, they have really made the best album ever. when you listen to it, every song is really up lifting, i am going to see them march. cant wait

[polzwol]

saaaaaaaaaame!

im beside myself with excitment!

[haroldandkumar5567]

I feel the same way, cheesy or not :)

[clin161]

this is the first part, called what if the storm ends?

[hacelepues]

the first part is actually called "after the storm"

lol sorry... I'm a bit obsessed with it really :p

[Texage74]

Actually, it IS called "What If This Storm Ends?"

[SaggioD]

Yeah, Texage is right about that one. Way to be "obsessed" hacelepues.

[mckdickie24]

@Texage74 no its not

[12sisu12]

Definately one of their best and my current favorite... but what happened to the rest of the song? its about 16min long and in three parts. I guess they didnt continue it?

[WhoLetYouGo]

I know, Right! You get the full effect when all three parts are together. I really fell for the third part "things were bound to go right sometime today". Both parts before that really escalate towards the release in the final part.

[unorthodoxJeremy]

Such a great song. I think it's their best, even compared to Chasing Cars, as they finally get away from their standard 'guy with guitar' sound into something a little more complex, at least on the album version, and it even comes through here. I just wish the audio quality was better.

[Stoffyuk]

What a great song, one of my favourites from the album, thanks for posting

[Nearside]

Nicely done.
