There are songs that are great, and there are GREAT songs that take on a life of their own. January 26 th sees the release of one of these - the shimmering new single ‘Run' by Snow Patrol.
When Snow Patrol released ‘Final Straw' this autumn, reaction to ‘Run' was overwhelming. Described in more than one publication as an ‘epic', press and radio immediately latched onto this track as the one that will make the band massive. Several way-up front plays from Jo Whiley and two plays in the same show from Zane Lowe illustrate just how much feeling for
this song full of feeling there already is.
Right from the trembling guitar intro, Gary Lightbody's velvet soft voice doesn't tug the heart strings, it pulls them out by the roots. With a chorus that has all the makings of a classic, the refrain of ‘light up, light up' is stirring stuff indeed.
The video for the track was shot during a particularly cold night in Kent . Locals in the remote area where it was filmed called the police when they saw several distress flares being let off, only for them to discover when they turned up four freezing Irishmen making a music video.
