Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars (2007 version)

[robomechanic1]

i know this it may seem weird but, this song got me and my girlfriend together, and i love it so much, every day without fail, we sing it and it is just amazing <3

[CoBeX31]

Me and my girlfriends song <3 She lives over an hour away and we almost never get to see each other except on videochat. So every night I lay in bed and just wish the chorus of this song would come true. Every time we videochat we play this song, and it never fails to make both of us cry. I just wish if I just lay here, she could somehow lie with me, and we could just forget the world. Everything that matters to me is in her perfect eyes, they're all I can see. I dont know when, but we'll be <3

[ReusedAshes68]

P.S. Let's play mine cr

[dumdumbush]

[selene0522]

Wow!! Actually I prefer this video than the other one!!! It's just Perfect!!

[DarkAngelnr]

@selene0522 Me too it's more real and raw is'nt it?Which is what its about, do you think the americans wanted to clean him up a bit for the other vid? His original style, is so manly and sexy, xx

[selene0522]

@DarkAngelnr yes, he is sexier here ;)

And well, maybe they wanted to do something different but I feel like this is the real style of Snow Patrol! :D

[englishman1able]

thats me.....

[Europe11000]

Perfect beautiful song !

[valbrazilval]

Of course I would lie with you and just forget the world! I miss you too much, you don´t have to say anything... just come to me

[unuasual268]

Wanna hear an angel sings?

watch?v=xXRh5ne7xws

[MrBlackhawk1997]

there was ome rain on a day that i just didn't wanna be here anymore, went out my window, layed on my roof, and just stayed for a few hours. what happened that day - girlfriend broke up with me, parents fightin, family member died, and a friend betrayed me. "would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

[irisisthis]

@MrBlackhawk1997 YES!

[MelonPony]

I'm speechless. It's the most inspirational song I've ever heard.

[febreezbrothers]

This is better then the other, one of the greatest songs ever

[christiane17d]

Simply beautiful!!! Loved that song in Grey's Anatomy musical episode. It's just so appropriate!!!

[LuckG97]

such a tune

[11AJ12]

This song is simply one of the BEST ever made. It just gets better and better with every listen. <3

[supersteveo1100]

The Most Amazing Song Ever Snow Patrol 4 Life

[celis172]

is it weird if i cry to this? :'(

[kierralikesWow]

@celis172 Not at all.

[srfrider73]

and there is only one in this world for all of us. please dont share your body or your heart with anyone less than your other half.

[embization]

This song is so heartbreaking when you remember feeling and believing that way and believing that you would never compromise and now you're older and it's somehow no longer practical to love like that because now we actually are "too old". Where do we go home after lying around in the garden or chasing cars? Will we cook dinner? Where will the money come from? Damn I guess I have to go to work tomorrow. But I will grow that garden and we will lie down near the flowers, happy for the years.

[phylliswaterfield]

@embization hehe that's so funny.

[2010FilmIt]

"what happens if a car comes?"

'we die.'

[casho12]

I prefer the original version...

[starcraftyt]

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old..

[FlippOut44]

@starcraftyt That's my favorite lyric from this whole song.

[phylliswaterfield]

@starcraftyt halitosis 

[phylliswaterfield]

@starcraftyt hehe hilarious

[andycroa]

love this song in any version. here is a remix:

[zoee291093]

it's a sad that no song will probably ever live up to the standards it set.

[xTurnDaMusicUp]

...and this, my friend, is what planking originated from.

[CartoonzInc]

its the same as the newer one

[ghostwriter738]

this is exactly what i'll be saying to my love

[OccupationalHazardXI]

Have to say, its been almost a year since I last listened to this song but I still know it by heart and my heart cries... Every. Single. Time. I. Hear. It.

[tim079100]

I think this version is better !

[Europe11000]

I still listening this lovely song !

[jdoggjsjsjs]

There is 2 versions of this song

[djnowplaying]

I used to chase cars... I didn't realize the cars were parked. they now call me bumper bruiser.

[gimmegimmeicecream]

Yes.

[darkness19935]

@DarkLinkLover251 I mean the best video version...

[EVideoJ77]

A few months ago, it rained for the first time in several months. I went out to my front yard, lay down on side walk, and closed my eyes. I was freezing, but I didn't care. My parents were inside fighting, and I just forgot everything, and focused on me and the rain.

"Would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

[ohisaacification]

@EVideoJ77 I know the feeling :')

[atter0]

@EVideoJ77 if ur capable of it try running untill you cant anymore and then lay down in a grass field it makes the rain feel better and the grass feel like a bed and the any pain you feel blocks out everything you dont want to feel..

[gameavenger99]

@EVideoJ77 thats awesome, I would do the same thing

[imjohnfreeman]

@EVideoJ77 life isnt a movie

[mariomoran33]

@EVideoJ77 very deep and real , i think you have nice feelings congrat!!!

[Carrowshee1]

Aye, I know that kinda feeling! This song sure encapsulates a lot! Rain is nice on yer face and so is the wind in your hair, think we should all do it a bit more maybe. Hope todays a better day for ya.....chin up! Keep listening to your music and enjoying nature. Brave comment to put up by the way. I like that!

[PivotFailDX]

this is way better than the newer video

[tyerbnm]

I used to chase cars, then I too an arrow to the knee.

[ASDF123428262]

BEAUTIFUL SONG

[Andrea12345678934]

@DarkLinkLover251 They're talking about the music video version, not the song version. Snow Patrol's the only band to perform this song.

[omgwalkingbanana]

uuhhh this is kinda weird..........

[8ballpk]

bring back the old snow patrol

[darkness19935]

This version is better!!!

[32523409]

Love you Gummybearz19 <3

[ryguy2487]

"would you lie with me and just forget the world?" that seems pretty hard cause when your trying to forget the world you chose to go out side and lay down in a fucking thunderstorm... no thank you

[norivazquez]

If I lay here, if I just lay here... Would you lie with me and just forget the world? ♥

I love this song! ♥

[THEillusionOFitALL]

This song will ALWAYS be the time me and London spent our first weekend together as a couple (after YEARS of being friends) because every time I woke at night, you were listening to this....fast forward; RIP London 2009. I'm sorry, and I love you always.

[requiemoftruth]

This song will always remind me of Denny's death on 'Greys'. Always.

[redmoonsheep]

this song makes me feel like pulling the arrow off me knee so i can kick the ass of whoever sang it.

[oscarpup99]

i am in love with fat people

[MichaelJPMITCHELL]

always wanna cry when i hear this, its amazing, beautiful and touching in so many ways. my mum says this song reminds her of me and i feel great knowing that. love you snow patrol.

[luminance78]

I love it, I remember someone very special for me in Bogota Colombia, I asked him for this song and he did not know, and in the pub in which we were they couldn´t play the song but that day was magical for me unforgettable!!!!!

[JayJewels93]

Like this if you can relate to this song...

[shizam78]

@JayJewels93 I can More than relate to this song.

[Pinetopkid41]

[likesmonkeys92]

I remember the first time I watched this video. It was really late at night, and VH1 was actually playing good music. I remember how his eyes and the words to the song just went right through me. It was like he was singing right to me. That's why I love Snow Patrol.

[nattelol24]

Chasing cars - snow patrol

Wonderwall - oasid

Iris - goo goo dolls

These are the songs that fill my heart and soul

[LysannexRocky]

Gary is to cute for rock 'n roll <3

[joe777330]

everytime i listen to this song all i think about is my ex because the lyrics are so true and although she left me for another boy ill always love her and hopefully 1 day i can show her this song and how much she means to me.

[sparrowmella]

i know this song is a little bit overused, but i cant help but love it..

[renova122]

se putea mai bine

[hairyhenry97]

reminds me of 127 hours because he touch his right hand were it was cut off in the movies :)

[dredlord1112]

i love how the vid says 2007 version but the summary says 2006 lol

[RetartedWeeZoAndFs]

For the people who don't know it yet, he is singing about his dad and not a sort of girl. :) 

[Mr666evileye]

@RetartedWeeZoAndFs

its a song for his dog ;)

[MatthieuHenri1]

@RetartedWeeZoAndFs

I saw a vid in which Lightbody explicitely says: "This is just about the purest lovesong I've ever written". I beg to differ with you, mate

[bubbles1x]

@RetartedWeeZoAndFs

actually, that's not true. His father told him that "You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did." He was infatuated with a girl, and I'm assuming she did not reciprocate his emotions.

Good day.

[MrLadiesman519]

@RetartedWeeZoAndFs

doesnt matter the sentiment the same

[Mr666evileye]

@RetartedWeeZoAndFs not his dad,,his dog ;)

[mwood218]

@RetartedWeeZoAndFs

Lead singer Gary Lightbody wrote the song, sober after a binge of white wine, in the garden of producer Jacknife Lee's Kent cottage.

He stated it was his "purest love song". The phrase "Chasing Cars" came from Lightbody's father, in reference to a girl Lightbody was infatuated with, "You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did."

[ZangBeast]

@RetartedWeeZoAndFs That's what they want you to think... but the record companies make artists write songs so that the lyrics can also be applied to relationships. this makes it so the songs sell better

[dasa424]

I love this song too. But this is not about his dad, the phrase "Chasing Cars" came from his dad, in reference to a girl Gary loved, "You're like a dog chasing a car.

[MrPopandpoop]

@RetartedWeeZoAndFs i thought he was singing about the slave trade ;p

[ldherder]

@RetartedWeeZoAndFs Not quite. It is about a girl, but based on a line his dad said to him. It was: "You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did."

[its2gud4u]

i used to chase cars.... but i took an arro-

[Tocy777]

@its2gud4u LOOOL

[chancedennis100]

@its2gud4u to the knee :P

[ExplorerXIII]

@its2gud4u WINNNNN!!! HAHAHA

[highsteel240]

@its2gud4u -w up the ass

[mexsd]

Exactly how I feel most of the time, and always wondering what the hell I'm doing here...
