An Olive Grove Facing The Sea

The song is from their second album, When it's all over we still have to clear up.

Sworn to secrecy, I might go after school
She was an angel, I saw her swimming there
I am in such a mess, I can't cope without this
She just teases, me pretends she can't see me here
So let me go out there
I can breathe fresh air
Stay with you all night
Just let me love you
Just for a while, want to
Be with you all night
Be with you all night
Until I fall asleep
Just let me be here
I won't tell anyone
Don't want to wake up
The blind lead the blind so why can't I find my way
This could be Heaven but I don't know where I am
I am too scared to come out from behind here
My body is aching, it feels like it's wearing me

What other songs would other people recommend by snow patrol which are similar to this? Much appreciated.

Maybe a older song called Fifteen Minutes Old from their first album? Or of the newer stuff possibly Run or Somewhere a Clock is Ticking (Those are the ones I like anyway.)

I used to love this song, it would make me so happy. I still love this song, but now that i've gotten older, I hate the fact that I can't feel that same emotion it gave me when i first heard it. im not hating on the song, i just miss my early teenage years, even if they were angst-ridden :)

Regardless, it is an amazing song.

@izEnii Thats pretty much the same for me Lol. I feel like that for a few SP songs now sadly.

[ashapeyton]

where can i get this !

[Amyz001]

@ashapeyton It's from the album When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up :) You can get it in most musi stores or on iTunes

I like the added dimension the brass gives to this, although I must say I am a sucker for the acoustically haunting 2009 version.

@yellow4231 on/off is a good one...

[weerossemm]

@yellow4231 i quite like set the fire to the third bar

[04welchjo]

I prefer the 2009 version, but as they are the same song, they're both good. ;)

[04welchjo]

@yellow4231 'Dark Roman wine' and 'on/off' are also similar. :)

[Telepian]

This song has Radiohead written all over it.

[yellow4231]

@jsalkie thank you. this is the first snow patrol song ive heard that is actually similar olive grove. thanks very much

[jsalkie]

@yellow4231 Try you could be happy

Only a subtle change but netherless i love how Gary changes it to 'I am too frightened to come out from behind here' rather than 'scared' in the 2009 version to fit better syllabically. Perfecting perfection! Genius :)

[playerdepimp]
