More like Strawberry Alarm Clock and their greatest hit: Incense and Peppermints.

this song somehow takes me far off to places i've been or have yet to see every time i hear it... a three minute dream without the burden of sleep.

I can't deny that this is a very moving track, and reaches and unleashes incredible power and vibes...still like it!

This time last week, exactly, I was taking my seat for 2hrs of live Snow Patrol & a great show it was.

I don't think that makes it unworthy of listening. Complexity is an independent variable from likability. I've heard songs with very complex chord progressions (some on this very radio station!) that don't engage me half as much as this one.

Ahhhhh, a classic RP song — love it! This song made me a Snow Patrol fan.

Good response WL. I love this song.

Really, if you could play this well after only a week's lessons, you should drop everything and let us know when your band is signed to a major label. |

I like this song, and it sounds surprisingly like it is from the 1980's. Maybe that's why where the "blast from the past" comment came from.

Hehe. The song's from four years ago. I don't think that counts as much of a blast. More of a short pass from the past. Or slightly-stretching hand-off from the past.
Fun song tho, I agree.

Another band for modern review-writers!
This song is really not bad - has some groove,
still and overall I find their albums not too appealing!
Maybe I compare with "THE THE" too often?

I agree, the more I hear them I like their sound. Although an entire cd of their music might sound too much the same!
