  • id like to see leona and snow patrol do a duet live version add the rocky hard guitar of snow patrol soulful voice of leona and emotional snowpatrol singer together would b great

  • Snow Patrol are so much better at this song she makes it sound so depressing

  • one of her most boring covers ever, but still good tho i prefer snow patrol

  • this is one of the most beautiful songs ever made

  • More Power; More Emotion, More Tears in the Eyes of the Audiens

    Not in a Full Studio Version, but live in a Big Arena

  • I love Leona Lewis , and every single song she does BEUTIFUL .....however this is the one version of a song a just didnt like, she sounds like shes holding back. Its not bad its just not her greatest. I do perfer SP version as well and I heard this one first. I just love when Leona belts her voice out shes AMAZING this just didnt do it for me. JMHO tho everyone has their prefrences.

  • How can you not like that sweet incredible voice!!!

  • Luv it so much -3

  • Epic...........

  • Very beautiful

    

  • I came here to hear what Connie Talbot was using for her interpretation of this song, which she recently performed at the LG Arena as well as at her home. I also listened to Snow Partol's original version. Connie sometimes sounds better than original songs and rarely does not sound as good. This song is different. This song amazes me -- I honestly love all 3 versions. Beautiful! This is the first time I have heard Leona doing something I really like.

  • I prefer Leona's version. I can appreciate that it is Snow Patrol's song, though. The song has been done for 2 different genre's of music. I don't think if an SP fan enjoys Leona's version it means their not loyal to SP, that's just ridiculous, which is why I don't understand some of these comments. SP redid a U2 song, and no one is crying about it, even SP's GAry Lightbody is mature enough to accpet Leona's version and said himself that it's beautiful. Some of SP's stans need to grow up.

  • Run - L G Arena Birmingham

  • Snow Patrol's version is better, but this is very very good.

  • @Scottness89 I wish most SP fans are like you, not biased, honest and respectful

  • My song 

  • I actually love this song from Snow Patrol, and I love Leona Lewis' version all the more because of it. Their sounds is obviously very different and they each convey their own very different message.

  • Beautiful song an voice!

  • The album is good,but this is the only favorite off deluuxe edition and regular version.

  • Vampire Diaries brought me here.

  • @OwlLoverr LOL SAME!

  • I've listened to Leona's cover and it is quite good. Snow Patrol is good also. But, there is another cover of this done by Connie Talbot, and it is an at home karaoke cover by a 10 year that will blow your socks off. And better than either Leona and SP. Go see for yourself. You will not regret it! Seriously!

  • @Burnuzzi You do know Connie looks up to Leona right? They both come from a talent show background and most of Connie's song choices consist of Leona's songs. And as smart as a youngin she is, she knows herself she's nowhere near Leona's level or even Gary's right now and I'm not saying she will be better than Leona when she reaches that age. Only time can tell, but right now you're just being biased...

  • this song is so beautiful and it makes me cry. my life is such a mess and Im facing so much all the time and i have experienced so much pain for so long and when i hear music like this i feel all the pain all over again but I realize that I am stronger. I was raped as a teenager and abused as a child but guess what I m stronger than most people i know or have ever meet. no victim here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! only empowered

  • great quality 

  • love that

  • The SP version has been one of my favorite songs for years and I think this version is beautiful as well. Not quite as good as the original, but it's still good.. Can't deny that.

  • Does she wear fur?? Who gives a toss Eoinposse? Shes a great singer period.

  • Fit

  • I really love Leona's voice (and am quite jealous) but it makes me just a little sad that she puts no emotion into this song :'( Lovely cover as far as vocals g, but soul? she ain't got it :/

  • Does she wear fur or not?

  • This song represents what pain I am going through.

  • love it xxxxxxxxxx

  • this song took Leona from pop obscurity to the fact she complements this song to perfection

  • A gorgeous woman with an AMAZING voice, what else do you want? :)

  • she sounds better live

  • For my Mum RIP <3 her birthday was today.....

  • amasing song. my nans funeral song & i sang it!<3

  • @SuckMeSidewaysx oh jeez,you just had to mess it up. I'm playing around,dont be mad:D.

  • wow....just her voice is great.I'd be so unhappy to be deaf.=/.I am blessed in small ways & in big.

  • Great song! Talented of Snow Patrol to write the song, but I prefer Leona's version. She sings it with more emotion and belts out the vocals, which I love about her <3

  • This song was Sung At My Taid's Funeral =')

  • ==== IF YOU LOVE THIS SONG, YOU MUST READ THIS SCRIPT ====

    Leona Lewis Run music video new script

  • just listened to snow patrols version and actually prefer leona's one beacuase her vocals are much sweeter and stronger :L

  • I listen to this song on the day of my mums horses death witch is today his memorys will never be abandoned I LOVE YOU GIEVES R.I.P Gieves it was so sad and unfair

  • Thumbs up if vampire diaries brought you here :)

  • @PaulianaRad09

    Nope. This song was written and recorded back in 2000 by Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol). I'm here just, 'cause I wanted to hear a cover... and now I know that I prefer the original.

  • Love her voice

  • I mean sp wrote it soo you can not say she does it "better" but her voice kills me in this song... wow.

  • @cococrane1 Sure you can...Whitney Houston, "I Will Always Love You". Dolly Parton wrote it, but I'm pretty sure general consensus (which is entirely accurate this time) is that Whitney's version is the definitive one. If someone does a better job of your song than you do, more power to them.

    Now, I love both versions. The instrumentation in the last two minutes of Snow Patrol's is just as effective as the chorus and orchestra in Leona's. But if forced to choose...Leona, by a nose.

  • omg i love her

  • I have cried so many times listening to this song. This defines beauty.

  • any idea who wrote the orchestration for this song?

  • @rainwaterfall Idk, but they're perfect. :P

  • Amazing,,,,

  • Comment removed

  • Leona sings with elegance and hope, Snow Patrol sing with passion and crash

    Both are Gods ;w;

  • why is the 3 mins of nothing

  • @heartssforyou

    Britains got talent :D

  • Woah, I didn't realize that this one and the Snow Patrol one were the same :O

    So beautiful!

  • She is amazing! Why is there a massive gap at the end?

  • Snow Patrol should feel very proud to hear someone sing one of their songs so Magnificently

  • Melly, where ever you are, I hope you are happy, I hope you found what you were looking for, I still love you, god bless you.

  • Leona has a lovely voice. The only problem I have with this version is that this song really doesn't suit the over polished tone, the conforming sound it's been forced into. It removes a lot of the passion that was in the original. The backing is so horribly generic, and next to it Leona just sounds like any other singer.

    There's no individuality. Leona has a good voice. Snow Patrol is Great. This version sucks.

  • personally... Snow Patrol's my favOrite band!! n' I did nOt knOw that Leona Lewis covered this sOng! I had nO idea, but I listened n' it pretty damn good...!!! And this cOmes frOm a S.P. fan trust me!! :D

  • A very difficult song to cover, but I think she nailed it.

  • If you want the meaning of this song..... listen and read it at Leona Lewis Run music video new script.

  • As the famous proverb has it: Often copied never equalled.

  • beautiful

  • old mcdonaaald had a farrm

  • @bertee99 what??

  • @bertee99 lol yeh that show was quality :)

  • @bertee99 e i e i o

  • @bertee99 what do you mean by that?

  • @LoveWillFindYou11 it was someone on britains got talent who sang nursery rhymes over songs like this :P

  • @bertee99 I know the old mcdonald song I just didn't know if you were trying to insult her in some way..

  • I LOVE BOTH SNOW PATROL AND LEONA LEWIS COVER OF IT. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A DUET OF BOTH

  • Whoa, this is absolutely amazing. Leona Lewis is just..I never listen to any of her music, but, this is absolutely amazing. And this is something I never say, never-ever.

  • My Dad passed away three days ago and this played shortly before it happened, such an amazing song that will remind me always of my hero.

  • @cleg78 im so sorry for your loss I hope God is with you andyour family always and I wish you the best in life and all the love and laughter life has to offer

  • this was played at my auntie's furneral, Goosebumps and tears everytime, I love you Auntie Jo, R.I.P, beautiful song, <3

  • @rosiestott100 I feel this song is all about the passing of a loved one. It inspired me to write a music video script for it. Check it out, found under...... Leona Lewis Run music video new script.

  • I love the original, but this a beautiful cover.

  • Snow Patrol version is better in my opinion, but to each his own

  • <--- just uploaded a little cover of this, please please have a little listen :) x

  • what happens cheers it is a uk thing maybe to beat all over thee head but I agree with you.Or just folkke who can`t sing are critical of others who can thee lads are most happy she sings their song so what does that say.Plus leona has paid me in gravey rings to be outspoken fore her lol lol.

  • 178 people missed the like button :$

  • Love this song so much I wrote a video script for it under......... Leona Lewis Run music video new script

  • this song is beautiful. =')

  • Leona sings this song the best <3 Love her (L)

  • la musica es vida '?

  • I really don't understand why people are convinced that the two versions of the song need to be pitted against one another. Personally, I like both. Leona is a very talented singer. Snow Patrol is a very talented group of song writers. If ANYTHING all this cover proves is that Leona can sing, and that Snow Patrol has written an amazing song that has many dimensions to it. The cover is a compliment to BOTH of them.

  • @WhatHappensAtHiram Snow Patrol's is better to people who are more intro rock and Leona Lewis' is better to people who like something more classical or soft. I like Snow Patrol's better. Just like I like Boyce Avenue's cover of Perfect by P!nk better than the original.

  • @WhatHappensAtHiram

    Human nature. Were so bored and miserable we need to fight for stupid things like who sung a song better, who's made up religion is right, etc.

  • @WhatHappensAtHiram Great comment. This applies to most covers.

  • @WhatHappensAtHiram

    Nice comment, makes a change to hear something positive on YouTube

  • @WhatHappensAtHiram

    Amen bro.

  • @WhatHappensAtHiram I guess it's a habit for most.when you hear same song by someone else you cant help but think of the other version and realize how different they sound.better or worse.

  • This is amazing, cover or not. Leona, Kelly, and Carrie are the best singers to come from any talent show.

  • @toyall123

    Australian Idol winner Jessica Mauboy is also great.

  • SO beautiful.

  • PLEASE TYPE LEONA LEWIS THUGS CRY. IT IS UNRELEASED AND AMAZING. SHE DID IT BEFORE X FACTOR. IT SHOULD DEFO BE ON ALBUM 3.

  • Snow Patrol has better instruments and more soul.

  • @Petset

    i agree to your statement, musically snow patrol are musically far more superior, but leona's voice gives it a more soulful voice to the song

  • <3

  • she is so beautiful

  • both snow patrol and leona,s versions just as good as each others!

  • @MrLINCOLNJOE

    They should totally make a duet with both Snow Patrol and Leona Lewis.

  • I like Snow Patrol's version of this song, but this was MADE for Leona. The sheer depth of feeling and passion she brings to it is quite incredible for such a young woman. Truly remarkable. I adore listening to it. Never fails to make my eyes fill with tears

    I remember seeing her sing this on the X Factor and saying that she would win the show.

    An incredible voice and amazing talent. If there IS any justice in the world Leona deserves to be a mega-star known around the world for her voice.

  • I <3 this song. This song makes me cry at times, this song makes me smile at times. It's a roller coaster I don't mind riding again and again

  • This songs been out since 2008 and it stills makes me tear up everytime i hear it... its so beautiful :')

  • Its Alright, But Snow Patrols Original Is Way Better

  • @callumlikesdoom i agreed with you too....until i hit 3:15

  • They play this song on Vampire Diaries... in the episode that Grams and Bonnie open the tomb. Grams is weak and she dies at the end... that's when this song plays. made me sad. Great song and Great show.

  • Absolutely love this song and Leona singing it.

    Tell me what you think of this possible new music video script on youtube.

    Under the title: Leona Lewis Run new music video script

  • This is a silky sweet rendition, she brought the song to life with such emotion. Very moving!

  • watch?v=GVGSR0epo7c&feature=yo­utube_gdata_player

  • Suck my balls snow patrol!

  • wow, never heard this version before now... it's fucking, really good.

  • so beautful!!

  • Stupid because you took up 7:53 for a 5:14 song. Why?

  • @badbeatbri3 just listen to the song and get over it :p hahah

  • A VERY WELL DONE SONG. VERY STRONG LYRICS. 

  • finally something that's not vevo.

  • I was expecting some extended version but you just forgot to turn it off!

  • This is really just a pile of.......... the absolutely best song ever. Must of played it a thousand times since it came out.

  • wonderful voice wonderful song

  • i think leona lewis sings this song run like no other can

  • m8 loves it keeps playing it has put me well off her she got a beautiful voice but it relly annoying 4 me sorry

  • what a fantastic voice

  • who is the original artist of this song? is it snow patrol or somebody else?

  • @melhorsexo Snow patrol

  • I love leona and I think she can sing very well but Gary Lightbody will always sing this song better.

  • piano ,from Ludovico Enaudi ?

  • Leona Lewis Cant Breath Live is amazing and here in uk there is a dance remix out...its amazing

    so is this by the way A Classic ...

  • please leona, let snow patrol sing their song. thanks.

  • she doesnt come close to singing it as good as gary lightbody thats a joke

  • awesome song :)

  • spine tinglin <3 xx

  • magnifique :)

  • I found this song off of the "The Vampire Diaries" And fell in love with it<3 Its sooo Beautiful(: Love it

  • @kitkatkiki24 When the Grand witch died?

  • Ladies and Gentlemen. Here are the FACTS. Some people write, and perform songs. Other people cover those same songs. Some of those covers will be good, some, not so good. But it WILL happen. Get over it.

  • WOW! is all i can say!!! i knew she was good, but not this good! haha great song (:

  • I LOVE YOU SO FRIKEN MUCH LEONA!!! you are the by far the best to come out of x-factor and still is destroying some of the most popular artists in the world!! please let your career go on forever LOVE LOVE LOVE:D

  • Rebecca Ferguson is the greatest X Factor singer of all time. Maybe apart from Rhydian. She is going to be big. She's almost a female Freddie Mercury. She could be the greatest female singer of all time. Rebecca Ferguson is The Next Big Thing

  • @Meatloaforever Better than Leona? Hell no. I'd love to see Rebecca do anything half as good as this. It still baffles me that some delusional people still deny Leona as being the best thing and one of the most successful to come out of any talent show bar maybe Carrie but I personally think Leona is a better singer than her, not to discredit Carrie.

  • @rawfannation101 Thats just your opinion 

  • @rawfannation101 well said who the heck is carrie?

  • @Meatloaforever its really horrible how u can say that trash is like freddie mercury freddie mercury is awesome and there will never be another like him and for rebecca she sound retarded

  • @StarxNight17 Your right in saying there will never be another freddie. But Rebecca Ferguson to me is not trash. She is the one of the greatest singers of all time to me

  • This version is beautiful, I think the reason, at least for me, that the Snow Patrol seems so much more powerful and personal is the atmosphere they are able to create in the song, instrumentally. Also, they were the ones to write it, so they definitely have the emotional insight into this song they can express in the song whereas Leona Lewis is trying to interpret. I think the key is to allow the lyrics to take on a meaning significant to the artist, I'm not sure she accomplishes this.

  • you're an idiot if you get on youtube and argue over an opinion, especially when the two artists that sang this are on good terms with each other. if Snow Patrol hadn't wanted her to do it then they wouldn't have allowed her to. some people might not be into SP's genre and are into Leona's, so the song gets heard by more people. i don't know why you're acting like a bunch of children.

  • AMAZING ! !

  • The second half of this song is epic.

  • @Galvanizer67 totallly agreee!!<3

  • Erm... guys... What's not to like here?
