Have you ever heard a song that broke you? Emotionally. Physically. Mental. Any or all. Gary Lightbody, Snow Patrol's singer and chief songwriter might as well be asking me to give him a kidney and perform the surgery myself.
Can a person feel distraught, elated, nervous, confident, and romantic all at the same time? If so, I'd say that Snow Patrol managed to figure out a way to package all those emotions into a CD full of songs.
Like Chocolate, Chasing Cars uses one hand to grab me by the balls to get my attention and then uses the other to hold my hand and remind me it's going to be ok.
His voice is so deseraptely reaching out for someone to join him.
"If I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?"
If my life has a soundtrack, this is the song that is playing during one of two moments. One intimately romantic. One painfully sad. Someone is either coming or going. I haven't decided yet.
Maybe I'm just emotional lately. This songs makes me want to cry and then laugh through the tears. Actually, that's exactly what this song is. Laughing through tears. Seeing the beauty of what was and also what could be. The beauty in the newness and wonder of something.

I'm a 30-something student of human nature. A music-lovin', groove-shakin', laugh-inducin', dish-cookin', gossip-slingin', type of guy. This is my diary of sorts...
