Artiestinformatie
Snow Patrol is de groep die Gary Lightbody in 1994 al begon, maar eigenlijk pas in 2005 vaste vorm gaf met Paul Wilson, Nathan Connolly, Tom Simpson en Jonny Quinn.
In 2003 verschijnt het eerste commerciële album Final Straw, waarvan Run (in 2005) slechts een bescheiden notering in de Tipparade kreeg.
In 2006 is Chasing Cars, afkomstig van het album Eyes Open, een stuk toegankelijker voor een breed publiek. Het nummer wordt hun eerste notering in de Top 40 en komt tot de 24e plaats. Shut Your Eyes, eveneens van dat album, overtreft dat succes een jaar later door op nummer 14 te komen.
In 2008 is Take Back The City de eerste single van het nieuwe (vijfde) Snow Patrol-album A Hundred Million Suns. De opvolger, Crack The Shutters (#14), wordt Alarmschijf en hun tweede Top 40-hit. Vrij kort daarna verschijnt het album Up To Now, een verzamelaar met de grootste hits van de groep. Just Say Yes wordt een nummer 1-hit. De single staat drie weken bovenaan de Top 40.
De groep grijpt de gelegenheid aan om ook Run opnieuw uit te brengen. Wat in 2005 niet lukte, gebeurt nu wel met de single; een 22e plaats in de Top 40.
In 2011 verschijnt het album Fallen Empires. Het levert de groep met Called Out In The Dark een tweede top 10-hit op. In The End doet het, met een bescheiden 35e plaats, als 7e hitnotering, een stuk minder. Sinds begin 2012 heeft de band geen hit meer gescoord.
In 2014 verschijnt er met I Won’t Let You Go nieuw materiaal van de Britse band. Het nummer maakt deel uit van de soundtrack bij de film Divergent. De band is in de periode daarvoor uitvoerig in de studio geweest om te werken aan een nieuw album dat uiteindelijk in mei 2018 verschijnt. De track Don't Give In verschijnt in maart als voorloper.
Songtekst
You can't find the phone, so you can't call it off
But it might be for the best
You can't walk away, anyway
Because you've nowhere else to go
Is he worth all this, is it a simple yes
'Cause if you have to think, it's fucked
Feels like you've loved him more, than he loved you
And you wish you never met
Don’t kill love now
Don’t kill love
Don’t kill love now
Don’t kill love
You've been up all night and the nights before
And you've lost count of drinks and time
And your friends keep calling, worried sick
And there's strangers everywhere
Don’t kill love now
Don’t kill love
Don’t kill love now
Don’t kill love
And in one little moment, it all implodes
This isn't everything you are
Breath deeply in the silence, no sudden moves
This isn't everything you are
Just take the hand that's offered and hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy not far from here, right, I know there is
This isn't everything you are
When you took the call, how could you know
That he'd slipped away last night
And you wish you'd went home days ago
To say goodbye, or just hello
Don't kill love now
Don't kill love
Don't kill love now
Don't kill love
And in one little moment, it all implodes
This isn't everything you are
Breath deeply in the silence, no sudden moves
This isn't everything you are
Just take the hand that's offered and hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy not far from here, right, I know there is
This isn't everything you areYou can't find the phone, so you can't call it off
But it might be for the best
You can't walk away, anyway
Because you've nowhere else to go
Is he worth all this, is it a simple yes
'Cause if you have to think, it's fucked
Feels like you've loved him more, than he loved you
And you wish you never met
Don’t kill love now
Don’t kill love
Don’t kill love now
Don’t kill love
You've been up all night and the nights before
And you've lost count of drinks and time
And your friends keep calling, worried sick
And there's strangers everywhere
Don’t kill love now
Don’t kill love
Don’t kill love now
Don’t kill love
And in one little moment, it all implodes
This isn't everything you are
Breath deeply in the silence, no sudden moves
This isn't everything you are
Just take the hand that's offered and hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy not far from here, right, I know there is
This isn't everything you are
When you took the call, how could you know
That he'd slipped away last night
And you wish you'd went home days ago
To say goodbye, or just hello
Don't kill love now
Don't kill love
Don't kill love now
Don't kill love
And in one little moment, it all implodes
This isn't everything you are
Breath deeply in the silence, no sudden moves
This isn't everything you are
Just take the hand that's offered and hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy not far from here, right, I know there is
This isn't everything you are
This isn't everything you are
This isn't everything you are
This isn't everything you are
This isn't everything you are
