For me, listening to the whole album front-to-back, it tells a story. A lot of it has to do with space, and relating to that in poetic analogies to love. From leaving Earth in a rocket, to landing back during daybreak, the whole album is much more than a destination either way; it's a journey.
This has to the most beautiful melody ever. I have gotten through so many days because of this song. He has a really good voice. Thank god for this song!

maybe not so much dream... congrats 0musiclovelife0 for having so much spare time in ur life that you can listen to music on its own and do nothing else. personally i listen to snow patrol to stop myself from becoming violently abusive to everyone around me whenever i feel like im so busy that no one else matters. they're very effective for that purpose.
wow i never knew their a group of a artist and every lyrics is a poem thats kool im gonna continue to listen to their songs i never really listen to them that much but im gonna give it a try
Saw them at Glasgow SECC the other night and quite enjoyed it. They played these 3 songs as the encore which I though was the best part of the show. Really reminded me of the Flaming Lips.

yeah, i listented to the whole thing. the music's pretty good sometimes, but having a 10 second gap after one 'section' then starting another completely different one with it's own chorus etc, and never returning to the other parts later on dosen't flow too well as far as i'm concerned
I feel like this makes is symbolic. It represents more than just a simple song. It takes place in phases and I personally like that. It keeps people from becoming bored too.
God FUCKING damnit. WHY is it that FrostWire just DOESN'T want to FUCKING connect on MY OWN fucking computer, but it can connect on MY OWN fucking laptop??? I want to download this song, but since FrostWire fucks all, and LimeWire sucks I can't.
Yeah ... that was probably before I actually got an iTunes account. Since then though, I've rarely downloaded songs for free, unless they're not on iTunes.
@xxxPaigeyD93xxx Thats a good point. The one time I downloaded for free, I made sure to buy it properly once I'd got the money. I felt really bad robbing my heroes.
hey, does anyone at all know where i can download, im happy to pay, doesnt have to be free, but free is always best ;), the lightning strike? all three parts preferably, but even just one part, i cant get it anywhere without buying the whole album with it. i love this band and this song is amazing, musically and lyrically, so, please help? thanks
oh this ius truely there greatest album to date, sets aside all pop themes in previous albums, they have a new sound, it's unique and brillant!I feel like they have a new msic identity, similar to coldplay's uniquness. My fav song of the album is probably either "if there is a rocket tie me to it" or "daybreak" but i have deep love for "crack the shutters open", it's such an unconveintional love song and "engines"..oh and isatser button is so energetic....there all mint! what an album!
I dunno - so much of it feels "stadium alt rock" - the album's fairly mundane but you stumble across the last track (well, the three movements) and suddenly there's a stunning track that just doesn't seem to belong there, like something they suddenly got right, and snuck under someone's radar.
Anyone else having the same experience as me? At first when I heard Lightning Strike, I only loved one of the three parts, and didn't think much of the others. After a day of listening, I discovered I loved two of them, but still didn't really go for the third. And now I've found I love them all equally.
Act of Valor made me a Snow Patrol fan...

Snow Patrol aren't just a band, a group of artists.
they are poets.
every lyric is a poem, which is then transferred to tune.
who could ask for more? <3
