I am American and i went to Inverness, Scotland on a vacation with my family. My girlfriend and I went out late night and wanted to see the nightlife and meet some locals. We went to a pub and they played this song. It was the first time i had ever heard it and I loved it. Everybody at the bar was singing it! I relive this moment (in my head) every time i hear the song. One of the best memories in my entire life. Beautiful song!
This was the song l sang to my husband the day hospice came to take him we held hands crying the whole time that memory will always be me he said remember those last words died less than 24hrs later. I really can't wait to see those eyes again
omg. this really touched me. Your husband was lucky to have you until the end of this life. He'll be waiting in the next for you. Gary's songs and his voice just reach a part of my heart that can make me cry with emotion. Love that man!
This will never get old. One tree hill introduced me to a few of their songs, Not only was it a phenomenal show, I have never watched a show with such amazing music taste. The music alone was it's own character.
charmed introduced me to a lot of indie music. :) back in the day.....30 years ago lol where's me walking cane at? and shit where did I put me teeth! =D giggles
I agree that One Tree Hill's music was great. The show however stopped being good after the Lucas/Payton story line ended. Also, he should have chosen Lindsay.
Maisa A. Hey thanks for reminding me of OTH!! I used to buy their mixes!! I am in a deep dive of my favorite music from the 2000's, I was an angst filled teen at the time 😂
I just started listening to Snow Patrol. I am totally in love with them. Their live stuff sounds JUST like their studio stuff. They are truly an incredible band.
i first heard this song on an underground college radio station in 2003. i'll never forget the feelings it evoked: mysterious, lonely, hopeful, and death. it still gives me chills. i believe 'final straw' was one of the last tangible CDs i purchased in a store.
"""RUN""" by snow patrol was never a top 10 Hit........ L. Lewis makes with a Cover of that Song a No. 1 hit...... But, it's a KILLER song......without doubt....greetings from Germany ❗
If a picture paints a thousand words, and a thousand words aren't enough, a song like this will express it every time. You're right. Music can paint a million human realities there are no words for.
Went to see U2 in concert (quite) a few years ago.. The absolute best thing about the concert was Snow Patrol who opened for them....... Still love this song....
I'll sing it one last time for you Then we really have to go You've been the only thing that's right In all I've done And I can barely look at you But every single time I do I know we'll make it anywhere Away from here Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear Louder, louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say To think I might not see those eyes Makes it so hard not to cry And as we say our long goodbyes I nearly do Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you, dear Louder, louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say? Slower, slower We don't have time for that All I want is to find an easier way To get out of our little heads Have heart, my dear We're bound to be afraid Even if it's just for a few days Making up for all this mess Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear
Mary La Fleur do it! his voice is even better live, and many songs that I thought were meh on the album are fantastic live. I'm can't wait for them to start touring in support of the new album coming out in May.
I have! Pinkpop 2018! This song was played beautifully, with the singer was the only one playing with the rest only comming in in the final part of the song, it was amazing
Just come back from acoustic Snow Patrol concert in Auckland NZ. - The acoustic version of this was so powerful and Gary was brilliant at singing it as always.
My dad played this song when I was little and I was also taken away from my parents for 3 years and every time I heard this I would cry im with my parents, but this song reminds me of bad times and makes me cry, the problem is it's such a good song x
small crowd? I expected a whole stadium of cheering. This is such an awesome song! Who would've thought you could ever reach a song at the level of Chasing Cars again. But you did.
71 years old and just heard run!! Love it !!🙂💞🕊🦋👍💐
You go girl
Thats the GAME young man/woman (possibly)summat inbetween xxx A TUNE 4 ALL xxx

I want to cry just reading this.
God bless your husband. A lovely song to remember him by. X
One of the most beautiful songs ever written ..
I’m 64 and keep this on my playlist. Love it ❤
This is a Masterpiece of a song. An absolute classic.
The lyrics pull at my heart strings. The melody is and musical arrangement are complimentary and Gary's voice makes me feel to hug him tightly.
Gary ❤️ is magical his voice is a masterpiece and I love listening to him and looking at him 2024
You know it's good when even the crowd stands still just to listen. No movement; everyone is captured.
This song is brilliantly composed and written!
darr3nx so true composed and written dam right
Yes. Have any of you tried to sing it?
One of my favorite songs of all time ❤

Scrubs has a pretty good catalogue of music, i believe Zach Braff had a big hand in that.
Maisa A. Hey thanks for reminding me of OTH!! I used to buy their mixes!! I am in a deep dive of my favorite music from the 2000's, I was an angst filled teen at the time 😂
This fit the show perfectly ! What a fantastic season ending montage
makes me cry each time I hear this song.
hahah stupid sucker
Why would you cry 😂
It's very moving. Full blast in my car, it's been known to bring me to tears too. So fucking amazing and powerful.
Immer.
Same
Gary is magical and I love him ❤❤❤
This song is really emotional, geez.
I just started listening to Snow Patrol. I am totally in love with them. Their live stuff sounds JUST like their studio stuff. They are truly an incredible band.
Goosebumps. I haven't heard this song in years. Gives me goosebumps everyone
What a singer! Tears in my eyes.
A beautiful Masterpiece of a song. Makes me cry everytime.
I love Snow Patrol and this song. It has so much meaning.
What a sad and perfect song at the same time I like it...
brilliant
I like every song on this album, but this one for me stood out from the rest.
+Robert Love so do I
+Robert Love so do I
I prefer Eyes Open as an album but I think this is their finest song
This song and Chocolate are my two fav songs on the album.
My favourite snow patrol song ....always was....always will be❤

Excellent interpretation of your beautiful theme! Thank you very much. Greetings from Portugal 🎈🎼💙💛
Hello Portugal! I'm in America from Portugal! Beautiful country! I miss it everyday!
What an absolutely fabulous song, never fails to move me.
Always ❤
Now this, this is true Music !
Imagine having written this song?! What an absolute anthem. Amazing
Never get old always beautiful as if its the first time you heard it .. love Snow Patrol for creating this Epic track
This has the classic 4 chord chorus structure that seems to always make a hit. Musicians will know what I'm talking about.
"""RUN""" by snow patrol was never a top 10 Hit........
L. Lewis makes with a Cover of that Song a No. 1 hit......
But, it's a KILLER song......without doubt....greetings from Germany ❗
When i listen to this, i feel everything, words can't say this.

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say?
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Not an easy venue in which to sound great. Kudos. ✅
This is one of the fews songs you hear at the first time and boom you love it!!.

Snow patrol is the best band ever !!!! So good !
This is how a good group sounds live, you don't need more ... the good audience you always have! 👏🏼

"As if you have a choice" -crying-
When you go to a Coldplay concert purely to hear Snow Patrol. Respect !
Great voice, fantastic band
I always cry with this song but I love it.
Love this song. I can hear over and over and over!
This is the original! Unbeatable by any X Factor or "Voice of ..." Version!
10 times better than that leona whoever version
You should check out 15 year old Lucy Thomas cover of this song.

Check out Agoney Hernandez version much better than this.
This song is magical.

Welcome back ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
my favorite part of this performance is Nathan going crazy playing one note (4:05) while Gary is crooning "have heart, my dear"
Just come back from acoustic Snow Patrol concert in Auckland NZ. - The acoustic version of this was so powerful and Gary was brilliant at singing it as always.
Speechless. I was just lost in the lyrics and his voice.
legendary song!
Well done, people that play. Bloody good song.
Many Bands will only ever have one Hit single in their lifetimes, Not Snowpatrol.. They will always have songs popular :D
I thought the studio version was perfect. listening to the live version gave me goosebumps.. this is too perfect T_T
Even if you cannot hear my voice,I’ll be right beside you,dear ❤❤
Amazing voice even in live! Oh Gary!
Just beautiful...beautiful.
His voice is like...waaaaaaaaaaa !
My dad played this song when I was little and I was also taken away from my parents for 3 years and every time I heard this I would cry im with my parents, but this song reminds me of bad times and makes me cry, the problem is it's such a good song x
XxoxwillowxoxX not alone!
A girl name Lucy Willow Thomas sings this song beautifully
Snow Patrol big band, fantástic ! São Paulo Brasil
this song is amazing
First song I’m teaching myself on the guitar.
How did it go?
I find love in it. Beautiful Lyric. It always makes me feel peace when I get lost. And it makes me think of old friends and old times.
Light up light up as if you had the choice. Lauder and we will run for our lives now
Sounds just like the album version!
One tree hill introduced me to this song years ago! LOVE IT!
Absolutely beautiful song..... stunning ...
OMG of all the music I love 💘 this is the one I'd like to be remembered for ....
One of the best things about the late show was the band!
Their sound was so pleasing to the ear!
His accent, oh.. *_*
I love Snow Patrol, excellent band!
A banda já fez grande sucesso em outros lançamentos dessa música.
"RUN " TEM MÚSICA E LETRA BELÍSSIMAS.
MUITO BOM!
What a singer, Gary Lightbody
Agreed! I enjoyed this live version!
oh my look at his smile
Best Song of them an them best version as well
I love their tunes!
small crowd? I expected a whole stadium of cheering. This is such an awesome song! Who would've thought you could ever reach a song at the level of Chasing Cars again. But you did.
This was released before chasing cars
Best singalong song ever
so many of their songs have awesome endings
