  • You know, as I watched Children in need and saw Cheryl about to sing one of my favourite songs of all time I thought "Oh my god" - she's gonna murder it, however she didn't, she did a great job and was clearly terrified of making a mistake which made her seem more humble in my opinion as she clearly respected the song. In a live setting she was good, but MW is the absolute BOMB in this song and perfectly compliments Gary's singing. Ahh well, what do I know though.

  • so martha walking out at the end, does it mean that she got over him, before he got over her?

    just a thought...

  • wow, great song, brings a tear to my eye, so does the comment about a bitch but thats through laughing, its all good!

  • this is a fantastic song snow patrol for no.1 !!!

  • I LOVE this song...I've known it for a while but I didn't know who sung it till now!!! wo.

  • Tbh both versions are amazing...I personally prefer cheryl because her voice is stronger than martha's which is softer. Just up to preference I guess.

  • martha is better for this song than cheryl sounds horrible like a bitch

  • that was for Stewypooeylooey btw :)

  • The original and BEST!!!

  • Comment removed

  • its the original.. not a version..

  • Martha sounds nicer. Cheryl sounded okay, but there wasn't the soul, it was like she was concentrating on her singing to much to express some emotion what the song demands...

  • Comment removed

  • she sings, "I touch your face where i'd find your face" It should be, "I touch the place where i'd find your face"

    Only one mistake isn to bad for a quality singer, a very low quality singer, but even low quality is enough to get a commercial singer into the stardom.

    sorry, think i went off on a tangent there..lol

  • i think both the versions are pretty beautiful. but whatever.

  • Although, after that rant..

    I did think cheryl cole sang it well, shes just limited..

  • Oh dear, all the xfactor fans are looking at this vid now they have seen cheryl cole singing with snow patrol. It was inevitable and now the tasteless (No idea what music is abut)people are leaving comments about a singer who is internationally known and has spent her whole life upto now surrounded by live music and making her name as a TALENTED singer, cheryl cole had to have an ear piece to tell her which words she was going to sing next! For f****s sake.....

  • It's very sad. If they liked Cheryl's performance, fair enough. But bashing Martha Wainright in the same breath as complimenting Cheryl? Says it all really. Unfortunately. I think i'll go listen to Bloody Motherf**king Asshole to cleanse my soul.

  • i don't think it's fair to bash Cheryl either, although i see where you are coming from, Martha is brilliant. Another thing, the earpiece is NOT for what you said, it either gives a beat or gives the background music so she can hear it. So maybe you should think before you slate others who apparently have "no idea what music is about" ...people are intitled to an opinion. Hope you don't take an offence to what ive said.

  • No offence taken, what i`d said about the people that have no idea, was a generalisation of the stereotipical people that as you say, do not think before they say something, as i actually do. maybe it could be taken as offensive to some people, but i wrote it in a manner that the people who think cheryl is better than martha could actually understand...

    I would imagine though,and i stand corrected, it wasn`t telling her the words as she managed to mess that up herself!

  • Excellent. Cheryl stick to X factor,and pop  songs

  • its supposed to sound like that, even i thought that at the beginning but thats how its supposed to sound and i think it sounds fine....NO OFFENSE INTENDED.

  • we cud all agree that cheryl was good........but godamnit dont insult the original singers!!!! its bcuz of them that the song was made so jus thank god they made a beautiful song like this!!!

  • She had a good effort though, i didn't think he preformed that well either..

  • No way, martha is so much more talented than (ugh) cheryl cole, she can't make her voice go higher, it remained monotone the whole time, i prefer this much better :)

  • also looked to me like he was trying not to piss himself laughing............

  • cheryl was not better!

  • NO, I DON't think so!

  • Please tell me you came in here to unpoison your brain after that horrific murder of this quality tune by that bint cheryl cole?.

    im glad i aint alone

  • I disagree ;).. she can't sing!

  • Aye She Can !

  • Comment removed

  • She hanged her coat in the 1st bar and the 3rd is on fire, I wonder what happened at the 2nd bar?

  • memoric song.. cant deny my ears of this!

  • an amazing song not spoilt by a uni-brow

  • i agree x

  • GREAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Awesome and amazing band!!!!!!!

  • Great song!!!!!!!! Awesome and amazing band!!!!!!

  • this is the song that made me love snow patrol. she sounds like the girl who sings with The Perishers in the song "Pills" - but it's not her.

  • you should get their first album. I think it's a lot better than this one. :)

  • Awesome and amazing song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love Love LOVE this hauntingly beautiful song.  A magic find on a great album.

  • the most beautiful.. <3

  • How haunting..

  • May I ask why you even looked at this video, and took time to comment if that is your opinion?

  • The song has a very eerie sound to it.

    The lyrics really help support that.I think its about trying to find a replacement for your true love.You go from bar to bar hoping to meet someone special, getting frustrated when you can't find that same warmth you once had, you try and force it sub consciously your pretending it her that your with.Your trying to find a way back into her arms. Its very dreamlike and surreal its times when you'll do anything to not have to face the reality of being alone.

  • good interpretation. it's very desperate song about person, who searching this one love for all life. Second verse it's maybe about past time in this honey arms, or maybe futer-, how can be together.

    BTW song it's amazing! I always have pickup when I listening, and honestly I listening all time. It move me in diffrent word.... So soft and touchable....

  • AWESOME AND AMAZING SONG!!!!!

  • AWESOME AND AMAZING SONG!!!!!!!

  • <3!

  • beautiful :''(

  • Magnifique...

  • I love this song!

  • I really like the juxtaposition of their faces in the one-way glass. Perhaps done to show us how in each others thoughts they are. Great song, poignant video.

  • One of their most beautiful music video AND song... And the most beautiful thing is that it's nothing special, just pure emotions... impressive, I admire this band.

  • He lives so distant from where I am, and we just met once in life...however, after more than a year, after realizing the impossibility of making our dream come true, a few days ago he said "we have this thing for each other: false hope or reality...but who cares..." Wish he was here.

  • No matter where we are tonight, I know that this song will always bring us together.

    Im prayin that someone comes and picks me up. Im hoping that person is you, my baby.

    I need your warm arms around me now...

  • finally found the name of this song it's so amazing :)

  • Wow, I came here by accident and fell inlove with this song

  • Amazing

  • i want them to be inlove in real life

  • FAVORITE SONG EVER. AMAZING.

  • amazing

  • What a tune love it

  • I've just fallen in love listening to this song

  • Gah, simply beautiful. A work of art.

  • This songs so beautiful.

  • Once in a while a song comes along that crosses musical boundaries...this is one such song. The simple harmony and raw baseness of the emotive element is quite profound. Their Live at Abbey Road performance is also spot on! Most feeling humans can appreciate this...

  • I have yet to hear a Snow Patrol song I don't enjoy, such an awesome band.

  • it's so hard being away from the one you love...this song is so good :)

  • I love this song!

  • her voice with his is what makes the song so good... this coming from some1 who would never buy a snowpatrol cd... when I heard this song I thought it was beautiful and it's not even my style.

  • The lyrics to this song are just spectacular.

  • Agree!

    "The distance from A to where you B" is my fav line :D

  • Haha, thats indeed a cool sentence, how they came up with that =]

  • I love this song so much!!!!

  • aww what a great video!

    i love it! and gary is great!

  • This is beautifull...

  • Awesome song...could be longer though. This song gives me the chills every time I hear it.

  • chills. every time.

  • GRRRR! Love is pissing me off!

    :(

  • Ugh, Right! Love pisses me off too!

  • i totally agree with grayhawk33...the song is good, but the vid is terrible

  • no this song is good, james morrison feat nelly fertados "broken string" is shit

  • describes me n a certain sum1...so weird!!...its so hard 2 b away frm sum hu u love,,,gud song!

  • fuck

  • I love this song....but the video is like having teeth pulled with no anesthetic

  • This is my husband and I's song :)

  • love this song

  • I know, i love it too.

    Does anyone else find james morrison feat nelly fertados "broken string" extremley similar??

  • no comment can compare to what should really be said about this group

  • this would be a horrible song for twilight. DISGRACE!

    ps i love this song

  • hahaha. you're right.

    "i pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your WARM arms"

    that'd just be kind of stupid to put in the movie.

  • hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah­ahahahaha :D

  • shut up and go to hell

  • I was replying to myloveisamazing, i don't know why but it didn't line it up underneath, and what they said was very funny and i completely agreed. sorry if it came out wrong, and you don't have to be so harsh, sheesh... just put a thumbs down and move on...

  • what a sad song.. i love it!!

  • best song on their first albumm

  • te amo Samuka..

    pra sempre pra sempre meu lindo..

  • i LOVE this song so much. i never knew there was a video for it! i was just showing my friend this song, because it would be a good song for twilight, and she loved it!! i don't like the video so much, but again, i LOVe the song!

  • I was in Missouri and my partner in Californa. We had never met this song really fit. We have been together 2 years nows.

  • I love this video, they are so far apart but their souls can't seem to part. This song rips my heart out , throws it in the F'ing garbage disposal & flips the switch. -But in a good way, I guess.

  • love this song. <3

  • Comment removed

  • meow

  • We were so distant from each other, and yet so close for a while: miss those months, miss every single word we used to say, miss sharing a dream, even if impossible to realize, with someone...with you.

  • So beautifully put.

  • The distant from A to where you'd be

    I really like that line if you know what I'm trying to get at :)

  • To the world you are just one person, but to me you are my world....words cant describe you, just one Jackson.. no place, no person, no love will ever compare to you. If id a chance to relive my life, id choose to spend it with you everytime. your going to be so far away but we will always have this song to bring us together. you know who you are, my PB, il wait for you x

  • i might have to use some of these lines :D

  • <3 jc

  • my name is JC :D

  • awesome...

  • I just noticed, his room only has a table; her room has the chair that belongs to it.

  • nicely seen!

    hadn't noted that yet.. great video ^_^

  • Hm...I was like, "XD that's weird" but I kept watching and at 2:04 it looks like there's 4 legs of a chair under his table near him. o.o Check it out. Maybe she got the short end of the stick? XD

  • very nice! I love it

    that is a great Metaphor!

  • this song totally describes my boyfriend and me.

    we're so close, but live far away.

  • why do so many people think this is funny!? you're taking things to literally. Lydan93 is right! fantatstic song

  • Love the song! The funny thing is the video is ironisch because they sing about distance and in the video they're next each other XD

  • I think they're trying to portray the theme of being "so close yet so far away".

  • Comment removed

  • I'm miles from where you are I lay down on the cold ground I pray that something picks me up And sets me down in your warm arms.......... it's a metaphor you metawhore

  • haha! nice use of words. High five!

  • /l\ fag /l\

  • so sad , many people who put comments here are so ignorant and stupid!

  • the harmony and emotion in this song is amazing.

  • 2:58 looks so dodgy!

  • haha agreed!!!!!!

  • HAHAHA stop the song at 3:01 so funny

  • lol! I didnt even think that was going to make me laugh lol but it did

  • Lightbody is the best songwriter on this moment. This song is really amazing! The most beautiful duet I know...

  • wow martha really has an amaing voice works so well with the singers (gary,right)

  • I was at the Dublin concert and Martha Wainwright was a special guest for this song =D

  • He looks so hot

  • One of the best of Snowpatrol !

  • for a low budget video, its pretty good.

  • This is what i hate about youtube. Once some people realise that they are anonymous, they find it necissary to be pointlessly aggressive and insulting to other people-

    how puerile

  • do not mind these people, they do not know that what comes around goes around. what a pity for themselves. Never feel offended by these people, for their actions are poor.
