  • @supermustang1 In a sanctioned boxing match w/rules, she'd fuck ya up 6 ways from Sunday. As for the kitchen remark, I foresee this scenario.

    You: Ummm, excuse me, Ms. Rijker ma'ma? Can I see you in the kitchen, please?

    Rijker: What, Dikzak? (= Fat ass in Dutch)

    You: Do you want your kitchen floor scrubbed with my toothbrush, or should I just use my tongue?

    Rijker: Use both, Kankerlul (Cancerdick)

    You: Yes'um & thank y....

    Rijker: Hou je fokking bek! (Shut the Fuck up)

    You: *scrub*, *lick*

  • u know a tune when the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, so much emotion in this tune

  • He's not so good at actually singing. But ever since all that editing stuff came around, bands never really tried to get good singers.

  • Keep a straight face Gary! :p

  • both versions are awesome and i cry both times, both very talented people, so many haters !!!

  • @Hailey5210

    You could sing it better?...Please, do it! I would love to hear it, you moron.

    He has such a great voice, and always a lot of emotions in it. So, I don´t think you could ever, sing it better. I think you would sound really disgraceful as against his voice.

    You have a fuck. You are a little child in my eyes, because all the messages of your are just stupid. Why do you blame me for my opinion?

  • @Hailey5210

    I should grow up? What´s with you? Why do you write to me, that I am a bitch? Have you ever seen me? No, so you can´t say a damn thing about me. And it´s MY opinion that they can sing live, so let me go.

    It´s a shame to spam the comments on this beautiful video.

    I think someone should delete the comments of both of us.

    But that doesn´t mean, I don´t hate you :)

  • gary said on one of his interviews that before some concerts they got wasted the nite before, and he said they were bad he would lose his voice, rock and roll never stops lets hope he grows up before its too late, he has too much talent to end up like alot of other rock stars, love him anyway he is just so sweet raine

  • just gorgeous, such a sexy song.

  • not bein funny coz i love snow patrol but he really does sound tone death on this video????

  • ...

  • This version is very short compared to the original it's only 3:22 the original is just under 6 minutes Still good though But why did it have to be shortened they should have played the full version

  • aww 3:21 haha

    i love them, great song :)

  • God i just love them....these guys sing it best!!!!

  • this song has a lot of meaning, i sang this song to my husband for 2 years so he would have hope to survive this awful cancer, i believed he would make it until 2 days before he died, i thought the song would work, maye i didn't sing it good enough, why did he die raine

  • leonna leawis.. blow me

  • Different styles for an amazing song! Let's appreciate the creation! Enjoy the music, tool of bondness and not fights. :-))))

  • I feel like the way he is seeing this compared to the album is really choppy. He hits some really nice notes, but then a lot of his notes are a little flat sounding or something seems off Im a little dissapointed in this.

  • RE: SubtleAcoustics & razvan1t: You're right, the singing is nowhere near stellar, but there is something to be said for good lyrics and melodies that get stuck in your head without you realizing... Snow Patrol has definite appeal.

  • my favorite of snow patrol:)

  • Amazing lyrics!! :)!! Love it!! "And I can barely look at you, but every single time I do, I know we will make it anywhere away from here! Light up, light up! As if you have a choice!! Even if you can not here my voice, I'll be right beside you dear! To think I might not see those eyes, makes it so hard no to cry and as we say our long goodbyes, I nearly do!!"

  • ilovesnowpatrol <3 xxxxxxxxxx

  • the best version of this song!leona lewis and others are bad!!

  • awesome. Hey guys, just trying to get the word out about the band Echoes from Airplanes. If you're a fan of this song I think you'd really like their song "Savior". check them out on myspace or iTunes! thank you!

  • I like this great chords.

  • I really like this song but the studio recorded version only.

    Basically the guy has no talent whatsoever. I think that his voice is less then mediocre.

  • @razvan1t Agreed. This is the first time I've heard them live and he's very...standard.

  • Comment removed

  • I like them, they are so great!

  • Just so we're all straight. Evryone knows they arn't really playin here?

  • @sugarnumber1

    It's a shame they can't do anything to raise your IQ.

  • so sad you have so little brain to look at another snow patrol live vids, of which a lot of are great.

  • The way the song is written is the way it is ment to be sung all other artiste's who copy it is therefore putting there mark on what was already a clasic. All I can say is with or without "Leona" the lyrics made the hairs on your back stand up and for me that is what you really call tallent.

  • Grand!!

  • also sorry but,

    He's not a money spinning object that entertains you at your will!

    He's a guy with musicians who have fought hard to maintain there purity and have stuck to there guns and yet have still suceeded...God bless um!

  • Ok lets put this straight, maybe Snow patrol is not amazing at live perfomances however this varies in some they are good some there not, but there studio version is amazing on the other hand Leona is a better live performer agree or disagree its the truth, this song became famous thanks to her, but people can decide which is better and i think Snow patrols ones is better, but its an opinion

  • i have to agree. I don't think any artist sounds as good live as recorded.

    Thats why they resort to miming.

    Gary does not mime...

    There are too many faked computer voices out there. I think hgary needs some backing singers which is what they all resort to but we appreciate the purity of snow patrols purity

  • Kurt Nilsen of Norway ( Winner of World Idol) sounds much better live than as recorded. He actually sings live on his music videos.

  • I so disagree, I have seen many peformances...

    From the ting tings to metallica from lady gaga to mastodon.

    Snow Patrol gave one of the best live shows I have ever seen. Check Pinkpop 2009, entire show is online all 11 parts.

  • They are really great!!!!

  • U r all nutts Those who enjoy Leona's version enjoy it and those you enjoy Snow Patrol's Version (the original) enjoy that! But above all appreciate it 4 what it is good music sung by fantastic musician's! I think both r great in different ways! I wish people see it how i do!!!

  • i agree! not sure why you got a thumbs down for this post though!

  • lol yeh thanks Mikey what can u say eh! If speakin the truth causes a few thumbs down well hey there we go!

  • Its a reality show, for singers. In reality much more talented bands/artists are trying to brake through who actually write and perform their own music. If shows like this continue to dominate our charts it is going to be a very sad music industry in 10 years.

    I saw Snow Patrol in DC 3 months ago, and they blew me away.

    Gary was an amazing frontman, ooozes personality and humour aswell as supremely talented. Leona is just a voice.

  • To the idiot below methis guy is not impressive!! u tool. he wrote the song! these "artists" who are on primetime tv get maximum exposure to the public. This is what Calvin Harris (not in a clever way) was trying to demonstrate.

  • alexiel i dont get you... leona lewis sucks...

  • It's shows like X-Factor that lead sheeps like you into believing that a song needs all these loud/big notes to be any good.

    If Leona could write a song like this and perform it with emotion maybe she would deserve some credit.

  • leona lewis cannot hold a candle to gary lightbody, her cover is absolute shit and more about proving that she can hit notes than presenting the emotion of the song.

  • @coastoffrance i just listened to her live cover of this song it was pretty amazing. i do like Snow Patrols better but hers was still amazing, she did a good job, covers arent as good as the original but shes still good at it.

  • leona lewis is the one that sucks

  • No one really holds a candle to Muse... SP is really good live tho

  • Oh I love this band so much...Check out my cover of Run if your interested.

  • his voice has progressed so much over the years.. snow patrol are an amazing group and gary is a beautiful singer (L).

  • The singer is the only one who really falls short live. The rest of the band is solid, in my opinion.

  • love it

  • Why does he look like he's having some sort of fit when he sings? He does something weird when his eyes are closed ...and it also doesn't help that his voice is categorically dreadful, technically. The song is beautiful, though.

  • You can hear the Irish in Gary in this live version. I like it. His voice has changed a tad bit over the years, as anyone's would.

    I've yet to see any band whose live performance was great every.. single ...time. And no, neither has anyone else.

  • Such bands exist. I assure you.

  • I love that Star Wars video someone made to this song. More emotional impact than all of the prequels.

  • I only like it on the album, they really suck live.

  • Totally disagree. Something is lost on CD, they make a much greater impression live. (seen em with Coldplay) Though, his voice isnt the best in this version.

  • what up with that? almost sounds like gary doesnt take his singing seriously when live. he can REALLY sing in the album versions, like the end of "its beginning to get to me" and open your eyes. its anoying. coldplay sounds good all the time

  • then why are you watching the live performance?

  • I wouldn't pay to see them live. Makes me wonder how many times it took them to get the studio version down. It, does kick ass. Great song, sorry they aren't able to do it live......nervous?????

  • Sounds like playback? Not the singer, but the instruments.

  • I enjoy this song so much as when on radio, i was with my love of life and he wood play and sing this to me many time :) I so enjoy then and now he juste memory i love this more, many good times had Matt xxx all ways yes xx

  • Thanx 4d vid. Leona Lewis brought me hear. What is that saying again? It is in the eye (mind, ear, soul, spirit, and heart) of the beholder. Thanks to Snow Patrol 4d song's lyrics. LL kind of made or popularize your song and both sides benefited. Win win situation. Right? Awesome! Wish your band all the best. Peace.

  • on écoute et on se laisse transporter

    c'est la magie de la musique comme celle-là

  • i like snow patrol but this is a terrible performance hey is he talking lol thought they where better live?

  • perfect so perfect

  • leona live rulez this performance

  • this song sounds shit live.

  • dunno why but for some reason i prefer this to the leonia lewis cover... but every one else thinks im weird! haha!

  • i like snow patrol's version too :P

  • Who told you you're weird?

    Leona Lewis version is quite good have to admit, but I really prefer the original with some guitars in it. :D

  • the LL cover was good but all the emotion was just sapped out of it. Not the biggest fan of SP but there is no denying that this song is damn amazing

  • is it just me or does the front man seem nervous? it seems that he's nervous in most of their live performances and speeds up the lyrics. just feels like there's no emotions in his voice compared to the studio version.

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah,it's you daflagger.

  • he's naturally shy. nervous performing live, even keeps his eyes closed a lot too.

  • when i first heard leona singing it, i couldn t tell that tis actually the same song..."run", that song that am really so fond of..well "run" is a rock song..and she made it more like a blues one, it s like she s whinning...personally, i thought it's so bad..

  • I like sp, bot i agree with beverly hills comment,4 me, the sign of a good live band is to produce the same sound that comes out of the studio[ eg, pink floyd, queen,]were excelent at this,I hope one day sp reach these heights,they,ll have fun trying, and i hope they make it.

  • I heard this band because of leona, I believe they are amazing

  • ohhh

  • Gary lighbody wrote this song for sp i dont understand why they would allow leona Lewis ruine an already amazing song.

  • Because of the money her version brings them? Until Leona did it, a lot of people had never heard of Snow Patrol or this number. Now they do. Royalties are nice, regardless of what fans think of other artists doing coverversions...

  • this is my favorite sp song:)

    leona's version is ok

    but snow patrol is the best!

  • he sings very well...

    better then those playback bands... what he s showing it's real, not fake... and at least to me, performing shouldn't be about followng a certain code of perfectness (like vocal notes perfectness), but rather about art, about feeling us human....

  • hahahaha, are you serious????

    my god , do you have hears???

  • You're right, but there's no harm in sounding a song differently from its last ten million plays. Note his smirk... "...Sing it one last time..."

  • God he is so out of tune!! Should try using antares auto tune!!

  • gosh he looks so young

  • doesn't he?!looks like 10 years has passed...

  • hey leona has a great voice and do'nt diss her.

    she made this a huge wiv her own vocal

    abillity its a great cover of this.

  • no.

  • who is leona?

  • bugger off and comment on her video then!

  • they arent brilliant live. eg the killers and coldplay sound the same live.

  • Saw them live in Manchester last night,they sounded perfectttttttttt

  • snow patrol version is betteeeeeeer than leona's ver.

  • what is this??

  • On your one count I agree: snow patrol's version is better when heard as a studio recording; however, Leona Lewis is the one who keeps the delicate balance of intonation and pitch in place when singing live. This is an extremely fragile, beautiful song, but SP butchers it live.

  • glasgow - 24th of feb:) x

  • it's not their best attempt at this song but the official version is top stuff

  • 21st of march i cant wait to go....yeehaaaa

    did ne1 else notice tht leona lewis killed this song

  • I love them they are brilliant..love them ..

  • What the hell happened to Snow Patrol, they were gone for like aggggeessss, welcome back boys, is all I have to say <3

  • love this song

  • Amazing band saw them live at oxegen in 2007 and they were brilliant

  • I addmit his voice isn`t as good as usual! But they are a great band!!!

  • When you play the guitar while singing... you just use both instruments at 50%. They sound better than this!

  • I saw these guys in Wisconsin right after eyes wide open was released and they were fantastic. They sounded much better than this.

  • rock singing thrives on the imperfctions of its singers and live performers in general. As a rule of thump the polished pop singers are technically superior but often lack 'soul'. Leona is a good singer but her version of Run is over the top in places and a little pretentious. Check out my effort on my profile.

  • I love this song and have covered it. Would love some feedback from fellow snow patrol fans ... Luke...

  • This is a brilliant song and yes - admittedly i didnt know about it until leonas was released

    but this comment is about THIS song !!

    Thats all i wanted to say :)

  • leona's version was nice but but it gets annoying how she's screaming the song.

    this version is much better - a beautiful song, showing off snow patrol's unique style

  • Hm... I must admit, I prefer Leona's cover version. It's just a matter of preference really but at least in this live rendition I'm missing actual emotions (and the lyrics ARE highly emotional, partly even overdramatic, which clashes severely with the almost flat, resigned way he's presenting the song).

    Maybe there are better version by SP. I'll have a look...

    Or maybe you can't speak of "better" and it's just a style I'm not into.

  • SP has gotta be stoked that Leona Lewis did the song. Because they get every penny from the song. She did what SP couldn't do with it and got it out to a bigger audience.

  • stop comparing.

    brainchild is always better.

  • both are nice

    lenoa has her style

    snow patrol have this rocking style

    both have introduce two diff versions, which i say are both freaking awesome

    lol

    i made my piont :)

    happy new year to everyone

  • snow patrols version is much better.. you can never beat the original, i think leona lewis's version is way of the quality of snow patrols!!

  • No matter what stupid people that cant even sing say about them..Snow Patrol is one of the best bands of all time..

    Before you start to write shit about them tell me,do you can do better???huhhm let me guess..NO!

    ..the raw emotion that you can find on them songs is amazing..

    Awesome song Love SP!!!

  • This is a beautiful song, but it's not so great live by SP i must say.

    Good for them there are something named studioedieting.

    Thats not necarsery when Leona sing - that's fact.

  • It's funny with all these crackhead's that said Leona ruined this song - ( Idont think so) -when Gary said she did a damn good job

    with this song ( And who should knew better than him )and he just was blewed away when he heard Leona's version - which is completly different from this and that because that girl had some skill's only few poeple have - no question about that.

    I like them both for what they are.

  • Leonas killed this songgggggggg

  • this version is pure rubbish! im sorry but leonaa buts soo muhc personality and strong notes compared to ther crap voices

  • how can you say that this song has so much more emotion and also they wrote it (they expierienced woteva its about) so they will be able to put more feeling into the song

  • are you deaf ? there voices are pure dull

  • exactly what i thought but dont you ever say anything against snow patrol cos their fanatic fans are going to attack you LOL

  • she oversings it and puts too much emotion into it, these lads have got it just right

  • this song is my fave of all time, and i like the original better than the remake. snow patrol/original = great. leona lewis/remake = okay. enough said.

  • i like leona version more. leona makes this song so famous..but snow patrol is also vvv good

  • This is great

  • Thanks to leona, i found this amazing band. This song proves, that something doesn´t have to sound "perfect" to be perfect.. For me this, the Original version, is perfect because of it´s pure rawness. It is sang with full meaning and passion. I liked leonas version of this, but when i heard this, i found pure magic. This is how this was supposed to be sang. Sorry about my english... hope you´ll understand, what i was trying to say..

  • You. Are. SCUM!

  • thanx a lot and merry christmas to you too :)))
