![]() Final Straw (2004) [ larger cover art ] |
've got this feeling that there's something that I missed
(I could do most anything to you...)
Don't you breathe
Something happened, that I never understood
You can't leave
Every second, dripping off my fingertips
Wage your war
Another soldier, says he's not afraid to die
Well I am scared
In slow motion, the blast is beautiful
Doors slam shut
A clock is ticking, but it's hidden far away
Safe and sound
(I could do most anything to you...)
Don't you breathe
Something happened, that I never understood
You can't leave
Every second, dripping off my fingertips
Wage your war
Another soldier, says he's not afraid to die
Well I am scared
In slow motion, the blast is beautiful
Doors slam shut
A clock is ticking, but it's hidden far away
Safe and sound

| Eros92450 (Loveland, Colorado) | Posted: Feb 22, 2012 - 09:12 Great! |
| farley (Boulmer, Northumberland) | Posted: Nov 19, 2011 - 04:41 nice to be back with 'Paradise' |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Nov 16, 2011 - 14:16 Nice tune. SP is enigmatic and engaging. But crank up If There's a Rocket... or The Lightning Strike. |
| Nerubo (Denver, CO) | Posted: Nov 16, 2011 - 14:11 I've always thought of Snow Patrol as the rich man's Cold Play. This song is a good example. |
| TomJB (Madison, WI) | Posted: Nov 16, 2011 - 14:10 yeah ![]() |
| bluecshells (EARTH) | Posted: Oct 18, 2011 - 14:29 Love it |

Should have known though. If 1wolfy likes it I usually do too. |
| danimal3114u (Austin, TX) | Posted: Apr 12, 2011 - 08:24 Not usually a huge fan of Snow Patrol, but I really like this track. A little out of their wheel house, and I'm a sucker for the pairing of the vocal stress with the instrumental undertones. |
| actusreus | Posted: Apr 12, 2011 - 08:23 I don't want to like it, but it sneaks up on you. Like the instrumentals. |
| cathenley (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Mar 11, 2011 - 20:03 Snow Patrol is very unique.... |
| fran_tarkenton (Kamloops, British Columbia) | Posted: Feb 08, 2011 - 11:58 Oh god not the snow patrol! Make it stop please!... Ears melting! Oh the pain! |
| stickers11 (New Westminster, BC) | Posted: Feb 05, 2011 - 07:42 this song is weak. |

| Foot | Posted: Jun 28, 2010 - 21:59 Great song, but most of their other emo stuff leaves me wanting. |
| DaveInVA (In a hovel in effluent Damnville, VA) | Posted: May 30, 2010 - 13:40 Sounds like they are channeling Micheal Snipe for this... |
| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: May 30, 2010 - 13:36 I do not a single song of this band that really remained...! |
| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: Feb 24, 2010 - 16:10 I enjoy the music of this band |

| coffee-eyes (Bawstin, Massa2shits) | Posted: Jan 10, 2009 - 08:24 Wow . . . scary, yet so appealing. Snow Patrol = very cool. |

| OHMish (Copenhagen) | Posted: Aug 05, 2008 - 08:56 I wonder if they sqeeze something for the high notes |
| drife (Golden, CO) | Posted: Feb 29, 2008 - 20:35 The only tolerable Snow Patrol song. |
| felam (San Francisco, Ca) | Posted: Jan 29, 2008 - 10:12 Wow, that was surprisingly good! |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Jan 29, 2008 - 10:09 That is one BIG brainpan-filling sound. Has to be listened to at mark 11 and phones set to earbleed. 8 from the Nottingham jury |
| Kishori | Posted: Nov 27, 2007 - 14:41 Love it! |
| teapot (in orbit) | Posted: Nov 27, 2007 - 14:38 This is my favorite song off this album. "Brain shut down." |

| cayenne (in over my head) | Posted: Dec 06, 2006 - 13:37 I'm going to Amazon RIGHT NOW to buy this. Work can wait. |

I agree - I have "discovered" so many new and interesting artists from listening to RP. |

OK, don;t know what that is doing to you, but I think I share the reaction. |
| squidish (under the sea) | Posted: Nov 07, 2006 - 08:49 I'd like to see Snow Patrol play on a beach in the sunshine. That would be ironic. |
| Krispian (Vancouver, BC) | Posted: Oct 09, 2006 - 01:59 Amazing... I had no idea there was so much good NEW music out there, until RP. |
| jules44 (Sunny North Carolina) | Posted: Sep 09, 2006 - 18:58 LOVE this song! |

| starsail1929 | Posted: May 30, 2006 - 08:35 this song is the reason i bought this CD. I would pay 20. just to see them do this song only. The rest of the album is not compareable to this song though. have to say songs 2 - 5 are great though.. |
| hippiechick | Posted: May 30, 2006 - 08:15 Great song! Good set! |
