[soots29]

owenwartfell2hizdoom .... did you really ? explains why you lost taste in brilliant music !

[radomiriz]

Apparently this song is about Belfast. Shame they didn't shoot the video there and show some of the city. Just about a decent song.

[PD4life]

√ Stop Motion. ­

[vascobruna]

Rio there's no other city like it!!

[MJDreamWalker13]

I don't know if the stop-motion animation represents anything in this video, but it's sure a damn good example of how to use it effectively. Same goes for the music, it's such an amazing piece. It's clearly about my glorious city of Stettin.

[PrettyPinkPeacock]

oh his voice is brill :)

[Lemontrap46]

Manchester. Some knock it, some love it. I adore the place. Hometown, always <3

[theNZninja]

reminds me of summer.

[RyanMRKO721]

[Mangoman655]

Is it me or does Gary look like he really needs to go to the toilet.

[twaffle4JLS]

[Jonghwan1]

yo this is some gooood pickle.

[layukk]

I really like this song! I realized that I wish my home town is Ireland to see Snow Patrol!

[khamill473]

[IAMimmNz]

[daraneve2]

[otreboremo]

Wau it's a great song

[CroSSGuardXX]

Glasgow is beautifull truly deserving of this song

[xxlfcloverxx]

[ChrisCarter1983]

[SNip3RWoLf1337]

[OwenWartFell2HizDoom]

@hannark I can't believe 2,850 actually liked this fucking weak talentless shit....How the fuck these fags got a record deal is beyond me.......lol

[vikinglova1]

@OwenWartFell2HizDoom u wish u could be them they probs get way more ass then u.....

[TheSuperBaller1]

@hannark or they simply don't like it.

[MrVinnie1981]

@hannark They Irish????? Never knew that.... Thought they were from UK......

Anywayzz, its a hell of a song!!!!!!!!!

[Mackey2K10]

@MrVinnie1981 Uk consists of Ireland...

[Optimusklein1]

@Mackey2K10 Only Northern Ireland...

[Mackey2K10]

@Optimusklein1 Still Ireland...

[Optimusklein1]

@Mackey2K10 No its a small part of Ireland. People have been killed for saying Ireland is part of the UK...

[Mackey2K10]

@Optimusklein1 And that small part is part of the U.K I come from there, and Is that a half thought up threat I sense?

[Optimusklein1]

@Mackey2K10 Why would I threaten you? Im not even from Northern Ireland or the Repubic of Ireland for that matter. Its a fact, some extremists think that Ireland sould entirely be independent and have gone to extreme ways to try and make it so.

[wolfeyes132]

@Mackey2K10 dont ever say tat!

[davidhrules]

@hannark your right about not having taste in music but i dought that there jelous of not being from belfast

[cookiechloex]

So proud to hear Gary say this song is about Belfast :') LOVE HIM, LOVE IT, LOVE SNOW PATROL!!!

[Dowdsyy123]

The atmosphere at their City Hall gig in Belfast last night was UNBELIEVABLE! It'll never feel the same played anywhere else, ya know, cos it's about Belfast and last night it felt 100 times better than NYC or Paris or anywhere ><

[HannahhhOh]

Should've filmed it in Belfast... cause it's about here and let's face it - we are the best. XD haha

[hitbot5]

@HannahhhOh I'm jealous, Belfast's great craic, too bad I live in Donegal though :( xD

[HannahhhOh]

@hitbot5 You should be jealous ;) haha i love being from here. Take it you weren't at the city hall gig then? You should've seen Belfast at the weekend it was unreal. This is where all the crazy people live lol. x

[hitbot5]

@HannahhhOh naw, Couldn't get tickets in time :( What was the gig like?

[HannahhhOh]

@hitbot5 Me and a mate qd for hours and got 8 but ended up giving 4 away :) Don't mean to rub your face in it but god it was amazing! was pretty close to the stage too. XD xx

[ConorCorrigan7]

Wrote this for Belfast. OH YESSSSS.

[leeperiskwl]

Seeing this at city hall last night was too good!

[SuperKatiebugs]

this song is about belfast! yeooo

[martyo1205]

They played tonight at City Hall, Belfast, AND THEY WHERE FUCKING AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!

[333theinvincible]

porno porno porno!! :-) THUMBS UP IF YOU WATCHING PORNO WHILE LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC!!!!

[adrian5b]

@333theinvincible take it easy buddy

[BeMyParachute]

I love the simplicity of this video. Hell, I love the simplicity of all their videos. It lets you focus on the song itself. And thiss song? Well, I'll just say it speaks to me.

[Calumrockyoursocks]

It was recorded in London.. according to wikipedia..

[LaveryJJ]

@Calumrockyoursocks

It was about Lightbody's love for Belfast, though

[LaveryJJ]

BELFAST!!!!!!!!

[FieldMarshalRommel23]

Is this recorded in Dublin?

[FrenzyTank]

it's kinda amusing that people never click 'like' on a music video. I guess it goes without saying that if you like it; you watch it.

[FieldMarshalRommel23]

This fucking Northern Ireland ad is pissing me off by now lol!

[jo0987654able]

[thetoneranger1]

this is a sweet song!!!! I remember on a school trip to New Zealand, I saw this video a the little park camp place where we were staying. For some reason ever time I hear this song I think of that.

[jleonidasvalencia]

love this song =)

[randomchick1234]

I love this song. Describes how I feel about my own home city. A lot of people like bashing it, but I love it anyway

[LiamsAnAmzingGuy]

@randomchick1234 where?

[laithinator3000]

@randomchick1234 I guess its just a Jersey thing.

[Krapukah]

@randomchick1234 what city is it? :)

[ChrisCarter1983]

@Krapukah Belfast. Best city in the world. :)

[joemoin]

@ChrisCarter1983 yeah nothin says classy city like a carbomb randomly goin off at half 3 :)

[ChrisCarter1983]

@joemoin and when did that last happen exactly? are you living in the 1980s? awk, dude! welcome to 2011! duh!! lol

[SailorTatooine]

@joemoin what's life without a little excitement? besides, this city had sorted out it's problems (mostly) and is on the way up. the EMAs were here for god's sake! nah, i love this city and wouldn't live anywhere else.

[ChrisCarter1983]

@randomchick1234 Belfast rocks

[BernardoBulhufas]

[LuizaCard]

@GuileRuiz haha! Tinha que ser feito o movimento dos fãs brasileiros de Snow Patrol unidos... pq Rock in Rio, foi difícil o negócio, acho que eles nunca mais vão voltar depois dessa, kkkkk!

[expeditopaz]

This song was the best moment of the Rio gig.

[AndreyArshavinhehe]

muito bom *_*

[SirAndersom]

This song in Rock in Rio,really i cry...

[w2raphael]

Rock in Rio!!!!!! *-*

[MrAntiScope]

Why is it every music video I watch on this bloody website has in the top comments: "Thumbs up if you're still listening to this in 2011"

Obviously I'm listening to this in 2011 otherwise I wouldn't be viewing the video.

Please shut up and post something original...

[ferfmartinsmusic]

Saw this on Rock In Rio, blew my mind.

[Brankelaah]

Rock in Rioooooooo !!! Awesome !

[andrade11steps]

ROCK IN RIO :)

[LaveryJJ]

If anyone is wondering, this is about Belfast :)

[yongadog]

@LaveryJJ The same could be said for "I Finally Love This Town".

[MegaPoone]

Lovely changes...great songwriting...

[wallacegrommit]

Hold down the number 2 for scary face.

[BreakenB]

some how this song reminds me New Zealand.....<3 SP

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

I know I'm not the only one who loves singing to this song X)

[Quackamore]

Same here. But doesn't he look like he's trying not to wet himself?

[ZeroMalarki]

Not normally a Snow Patrol fan, love this song.

[MrTayzaa]

Click 2 really quickly for a dubstep seizure

[tvb016]

Why do people always have to label the music they listen to, just f'n enjoy it!

[L3GENDC87]

SN0:00W PATR0:00L

[agranadio]

why is the lead singer vigorously ejaculating while singing?

[MrTom5594]

@agranadio If that's the kinda face you make when you ejaculate, you have problems my friend.

[1ofdiamonds]

@MrTom5594 do you know what face you make when you ejaculate?

[MrTom5594]

@1ofdiamonds Not exactly, but I know I don't shiver like he does in this video. If anyone does they obviously have some sort of problem

[1ofdiamonds]

Who's that jackass at 0:05

[cyberstench]

@1ofdiamonds It's that flaccid prat Lightbody.

Pathetic.

[cyberstench]

This band is absolute dog shit.

What an utterly characterless patsy this Gary Lightbody is. Look at him, trying to be all interesting, desperately writhing his body into shapes in a vain effort to seem 'lost in the music'. What a complete penis he is. With his standard-issue converse trainers and his little haircut. And let's not forget the oh-so-edgy video - yeah, let's take back the city! Snow Patrol will lead the revolution!!

This really is completely soulless dung.

Pathetic.

[BassPlayerDan1995]

@cyberstench I take it that you're going to produce something better?

[cyberstench]

@BassPlayerDan1995 I actually do already make my own music. If you like this stuff, you'll undoubtedly think mine is shit. If you are of an age where petals like Lightbody impress you, then it's no good me chiding you personally for it as we've all listened to dog shit over the years. My resentment towards these clowns lies in the fact that they are demonstrably lacking in the qualities that make music MATTER, whatever the genre. I could name these, but it should be obvious what they are.

[TheMerrick2009]

@cyberstench So by 'my own music', I expect you mean alone in a room with Logic Pro, making WUBWUBWUBWUBWUB sounds?

[cyberstench]

@TheMerrick2009 Couldn't be more wrong. But I like your assumption that somebody who doesn't think Snow Patrol are a valuable addition to music's rich tapestry would naturally listen to WUBWUB or whatever that shit is that you wrote. For the record, if you are defending this complete donkey turd of a song, the joke really is on you.

Pathetic.

[TheMerrick2009]

@cyberstench Actually, I just like the idea of morons like you going on YouTube videos purely to slag stuff off. But hey, it's your life, live it how you want.

[cyberstench]

@TheMerrick2009 Oops. I seem to have annoyed the self-appointed Snow Patrol Defence Minister. Sorry, I'll keep all negative comments far away from all Snow Patrol pages and leave you and your tasteless friends to keep licking the arses of shit bands. Although, if I migrate to videos of other shit bands, you'll probably be on there too - see you on the Coldplay channel!

[TheMerrick2009]

@cyberstench Do you see Snow Patrol anywhere near my favourite bands list? No. They've put out some decent singles which I listen to, and your retarded comment just happens to be one that's caught my eye. Why can't people like you leave stuff the hell alone if you don't like it? You're just as retarded as anyone who goes on a Bieber or Rebecca Black video.

[cyberstench]

@TheMerrick2009 "retarded this, retarded that"....such a lovely use of a word. You, obviously, are a highly intelligent, well-reasoned individual. Unfortunately, any entertainers who make their money in the public domain, are also subject to feedback from the public - both good and bad. It's what saves these comments boards from becoming honey pots populated by over-enamoured consumers, and gives life its balance. Plus, name-calling aside, it's healthy to debate subjects with others.

[cyberstench]

@TheMerrick2009 One more point: I checked out your favourite bands list...

Pathetic.

Kind Regards,

Ian Singlehair

[TheMerrick2009]

@cyberstench I have no respect for anything who calls anyone 'pathetic' based on something as a list of bands.

You, kind sir, are a complete tool.

Regards,

Merrick.

[H0L0S]

@cyberstench If you don't like this song then common sense would dictate you listen to something else that you actually like.

Shut up and bugger off,

Duncan Ballantyne

[cyberstench]

@H0L0S Thank you for your feedback. Upon closer inspection, you may notice that I had actually left this hamlet of losers alone for a few days...but alas, your reply has stirred me from my cave and brought me trolling back to cause more mischief.

Though this song is complete donkey turd, common sense would also dictate that flies should gather loyally in its stench.

Consider me an air freshener and be grateful.

Kind Regards,

Jeremy Anus

[1ofdiamonds]

@H0L0S If you like Snow Patrol you are by definition thick and sensitive.

Whilst Duncan Ballantyne is thick, he is not sensitive.

You like Snow Patrol.

Ergo, you are not Duncan Ballantyne.

Put your thinking cap on.

[H0L0S]

@1ofdiamonds I listen to all kinds of music, hell check my playlist(The Pariah's Anthem). I'm just sick of people getting on a song and saying "waaaah boo hoo, I think this song is awful and I don't like it and it sucks" If you don't like the song why the fuck do you look it up or go to it? Go listen to music you do like.

[1ofdiamonds]

@H0L0S checked your playlist. you listen to 2 types of music under the broad umbrella of 1 type of music. The 2 types are angry sensitive guitar music (emo, screamo, what have you) and less angry sensitive guitar music (like this). I look up stuff like this because should know that this (not just the sounds, the ENTIRE PACKAGE) is empty, soulless, calculating, money-grabbing trash without a hint of originality, profundity or bite. Sorry to bash you dude (peace) but Im actually doing you a favour

[H0L0S]

@1ofdiamonds How does Scottish pipes and drums fall unders either of those? Muse is indie, anyone who thinks Queen is bad has never lived a real life, GNR is not emo screamo, neither is 30StM, UB40 is Reggae, Alan Jackon's Livin on Love is sure as hell not under either of those "categories", two or three game songs that i like. Most of my music is Alternative and I think 115 is the only song i have with "screamo" so yeah, you kinda failed on your "categorizing" as you called it.

[rugbyization]

@cyberstench Dude get a fucking life, they are an amazing band i have met them, and they could fill and arena in the world twice over, and never dis and northern irish singer, when northern irish people listen to them, because you will get ripped out big time, explain to everyone commenting on this video how they are shit, when they are one of the biggest bands about, soo suck on the back of my ball sack and the rest of irelands ball sacks and get a life

[mackensie2212]

=D i love the bit at the end, where he just casually throws his microphone away XD

[vaughn4lif]

@mackensie2212 thats wat happens when yr as talented as gary, hes like "i dont need this mike im too good for it" XD

[morgz1997]

i <3 this song xxx :')

[KalvinDiego]

i renember this music in the MTV *---* good times '-' <33 :D

[yatesDELTA]

Play this throughout London. Tell those scumbags we will not stand for this any longer.

[kushranada]

@yatesDELTA "tell those scumbags we will not stand for this"

Problem is it's our city not yours!

[screwyootube1]

@yatesDELTA And then bring it to the U.S.!

[LiverpoolComps]

Tonight we take back the city.

You little London riot bitches think you can fuck up our country with no backlash?

Get ready.....

[inxs91]

perfect song for driving

[Itube2304]

This is the kind of song that I'd like to listen to in my iPod while walking through Manhattan/Times Square at night...

[7leintje93]

I remember seeing this for the first time on tv three years ago and just thinking: "Wooooooow......"

[yolajosefiyo]

I LOVE this song, it always puts me in a good mood.

[ninelivecat]

Such a beautiful song makes me proud to have grown up in County Down

[Br4mdl]

why isnt this song more popular, because it's a damn good song!

@libertus7 No its done by people who are bored and watching their computer upside down then decide to thumbs up lol
