I'm an aspiring writer, and when music like this plays, the images and scenes that play in my mind feel like I'm watching a movie, and the words flood out of me like a faucet.
If you note the orchestration and lyrics, and let the intensity of emotions wash over you, you will feel the sadness, the longing, the love and the haunting memory so intense as to addict you to a vision...
Some people think this is about people overcoming storms in our lives, but actually, I think it's about someone becoming entranced with how this person is so in their element in the midst of trouble, whether that's a real storm, or a metaphorical one. and how it inspires them to fight against the odds too.
Be the lightning in me that strikes relentless. The entire song is gorgeous, but this line....to know someone so well, to want to much, they feel like a storm in my soul...this single line is pure poetry.
Don't you just love it when art breaks the mould? When I was in grade school, I hated poetry. HATED IT. Then one day, in Grade 9 English, my teacher did something extrordinary. She said to ignore every single rule. To cross all the lines. To write exactly what our hearts told us to. To view form as a challenge - not a binding - and to be unafraid of making our own challenges if we didn't like the ones provided. She gave us some music to listen to us and just let us run with it. I wrote some of the most beautiful stories of my life that day, just because someone set me free. You don't need to follow. You don't need to obey the inanimate. You don't need to rhyme, or conform, or shut up, or sit down. You need to just let go, *and go.*
I agree with the lovely comment above... Your beautiful words reached out to my soul. Lived once your story, been there before. Inspiring me again, and renewing my faith. I thank your humility, Your truth and your strength. Keep writing...
Shannon Terleski See, it's stuff like this that makes me want to keep writing. I believe art is anything that connects two souls, bringing them together as one. To some, I am no artist. I can't paint. I can't draw. I can't sculpt, compose, craft, or even doodle much more than sticks and lines with smiles adorning their circle. But what I *can* do is write. To me, art is anything that moves you... compels you. Anything I could ever do to pull someone out of their own mind, drawing them into mine for even a moment. Art is anything - anything at all - that gives me but a fleeting chance to show the world the little universe in my mind. To tell the world the way it ebbs and flows, dancing in the air between blades of grass, or rushing out into a canyon's impossible expanse, or cowering behind my heart when courage alone drives me. I feel it at night sometimes. I feel it as it swirls in the world around me, projecting its universe into my reality and giggling in its delights, yet softly looking back at me every now and again, requesting release. And sometimes I can let it go... but sometimes it becomes trapped in my hands. Those are the days I hate the most. I've tried drawing it out, only to watch my pencil lines trip over eachother and fall to a scrawl of graphite. I try to act and dictate it out, but the words slip from my tongue and fumble across my fingertips. My gosh... I wish you could've felt me on the day I found out how to let it escape... the day someone let me know that I could write. My grade nine teacher - still my favourite - gave us a song and told us to let loose. She told us (although more eloquently) to screw the rules and just let it all come out. We had one class, so she put the song on loop... and I just let go. It was liberating, really. I assumed the exercise was a game, ignoring the rubric too. Imagine my surprise when I read my story to the class only to hear the echo of my own voice on the last line. My own echo! I'm not sure who was more stunned... them or myself. But my teacher teared up, and from the back of the class, all I heard was "Well, s***, nobody's gonna go after that." from a boy I thought was my enemy. We laughed together... and I never forgot. That was the day I learned how to let go. It was through twenty-six symbols, strung together like the net of stars that blanket the Earth as I watch in amazement from trillions of years beyond. My secret, as it turned out, was not to tell others of my world through their eyes, but through their mind themselves. After all, the eyes deceive and the ears mishear, yet the simplicity of language is the one medium that can slip to the mind unaltered. Think about it. Are you not looking at a mess of black sticks on a white screen right now? Yet are you not in my mind? Can you feel me, right now, as I feel myself? This, my friend, is why I write. This is my magic. This is my life. This is how I open the eyes of others to my own little world, once transparently exclusive to none other than myself. With my words, I can set my world alight. Alight; alight like the stars and the streetlights and the fireflies of a child's dream. This is how I come alive.
starlite319 Umm... Can you write a book on your life I would love to read it. You also have an amazing ability to write pursue a career in it. Heck! I would follow your books till I die (though that is somewhat extreme but catch my drift here). What I am trying to say you are do the right thing. Though I am still a noob when it comes to looking for a dream or know how it is to be free (like you and your writing) I still understand it.
I'll never forget hearing this song for the first time in 2012 during the trailer to the movie Epic. I remember the strength and power of that guitar solo mixed with intense scene of the leaf man jumping through the trees. It's 2018 and this is still one of my favorite songs today. (3
2022 and this song is still phenominal. I just love how the song progressively gets more and more intense. Don't really see that anymore in songs nowadays
I also heard this song in the Epic trailer, and it made the movie actually look like an Epic movie. At the end it wasn't as Epic as I thought it would be.
This song has the same feeling to it as when you finish an amazing movie/book/game/show. You're so satisfied with how good it was but you feel empty knowing that it's done with forever
This epitomises the perfect storm song...I was driving through Wales and my car broke down....a thunderstorm raged over head and this was one of the tracks on my CD.....the cloud covered mountains, the driving rain....constant lightning and the loud thunderclaps that followed....and there's me....miles from anywhere....I tried to call my family to let them know and my phone lost its signal....I have never known the fear that gripped me and I was just listening to this song on repeat....I was awestruck and scared at the same time
You know how people say "You can't love someone without loving yourself first" ? Well that's my interpretation for this song. We're going through our journey of chaos, destruction and heartbreak to seek purpose and self love until we can find "the one", that will love us just the right way, the way expect it and deserve it, and for who we truly are. But the more I'm getting through this "storm", the more I've found myself wondering.. what if there was no one for me ? What if I'm not and never will be good enough for anyone ? And that's where "What if the storm ends and I don't see YOU ?" hits me the hardest. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
These are the kinds of songs which will remain, They use real instruments and consist of real talent. These kinds of songs are not just songs, but poetry. They actually hit people in an emotional place if interpreted right :')
Agreed save for the "real instruments" part. Synthesized and electronic music can have the same depth and beauty as a full band. Look up "Collide" by VNV Nation, "Wait" by M83, or "Sea of Voices" by Porter Robinson. The insistence that music has to have traditional instrumentation in order to be good is shooting yourself in the foot.
@@randomsparrow333 it's a plus. There are tendencies. And there are great songs with not real instruments, but you can't assume it has the same depth or beauty. It has their own beauty sure! But it is not the same
Words fail to capture the experience that courses through my body when I close my eyes and listen to this song. First time I heard this I cried. Hot tears of relief and appreciation.
I wish there was more people like you, most people deal with loss like its nothing but hearing you listening to your mums favorite song makes me want to cry. God Bless You and Have A Great Life And I wish your Mother Will stay with you eternally watching your back 😢 Thank You
It gives me a distinct feeling of persistance.. defiance, even through death. To try, with all that you have.. till the very last bit of your existance.
+DeGroteLaaf Ikr people are always fearing death saying death is something bad but it seems to be something beautiful and makes you really want to live your fullest cause you never know now your here and the next second you'll be in another dimension,life,world or just maybe nothing...
@@marianagtz.1982 I don’t listen to it as much as I used to, but I occasionally come back to it (like now, which is how I saw your comment). It still has a special place in my heart. Such a beautiful song that is still in my memory after at least 6-7 years of listening to it
I dedicated this song to him a long time ago. He doesn’t know. I also dedicated “Burn” by The Cure to him. He still doesn’t know. It’s been so easy for me to run and hide from love in the past. But with him, it’s so hard. “I don’t wanna run, just overwhelm me...” I wish I could tell him. “I wanna see you, as you are now, every single day, I am living.” I wish I could tell him.
I believe the story of this song is that someone lost somebody very special to them, and they are talking about it. But they are tired of running away from the past, and are going to find that friend. But they are scared, because what if the storm they are running into ends... and they're not there. They're gone forever. But that's the chance they have to take. To win back a friend.
I am a sculptor for a living, when this kind of music comes on in my studi, my tools seem to guide themselves. Its a shame though, that it comes with such a feeling of hopelessness and isolation. I guess that is a muse.
Heard this song in a 2050 documentary about how we're killing the Earth and 2050 is the deadline where our actions will come back to bite us full force. Gave me an eerie feeling so I had to look this song up and listen to it again.
Some words are wrong though...."What if the storm ends and leaves us nothing" not at least that's nothing. "I want pinned down" not I wont pin down. "I want unsettled" not Ive walked unsettled. but thank you for uploading...this song hold a special place in my heart for someone. When I found it, it was the perfect time....sept 2012, before the end of the world. The planet's last dance....
I know this may sound immature, but I'm really proud that 50 shades of Grey led me into finding out this perfect piece. It's really magical, dazzling. Love it. So deep.
I can't believe I was listening to some music and was getting ready for bed turned off the light than it struck to me like lighting that there was that one song I had always wanted to hear from the trailer epic and I search it and I remember something about "you walk like a stat and I'll follow" but wait to here more of the song and then there was the sentence what if the storm ends and I search it and now I have found such magical beautiful inspiring song :) well this shirt story of how I found an epic song may sound ridiculous but it's true enough
'Be the lightning in me that strikes relentless'. The first time I heard those lines I immediately knew that not only was this a great song, but a great band as well. The shameful part? The "Fifty Shades of Grey" Pseudo-trailer brought me here. There. I said it. Friggin' awesome song.
I'm glad there are other smart people in this world. Thank you. I actually learned about this song by listening to it when the album came out. So the movie really has no relevance to it in my book.
Thank you for sharing that wonderful fact of information and wisdom on an a completely unrelated topic :). Now I will pretend that I didn't read your comment which just broke my mind and opened it up in a whole new era of adventurous thoughts, even though you touched light on a very delicate topic.
I remember it was back in 2013 in the trailer of epic I knew there was something about the song it made me feel so.... alive and yet it's 5 years later that I actually find it why not sooner? the world has show me a new path
While calm and smooth and beautiful, this song kinda creeps me out. It's not bad, though, More... haunting than anything, really. Few songs are good enough to make one feel that way... hell, feel so much in general xD Love it
Headfirst into the storm of grief... for my sister my best friend and her children left behind... which she would never ever have done... "lit you up.like a star which I will follow"... "if this storm ends and leaves us nothing.. I want to see you as you are now...be the lightening in me that strikes relentless" I love you my darling...
The song and the lyrics is so beautiful, it makes me cry a lil bit, its like the moment before the end of the world, the sky is dark the storm is coming, I want to see you though we have been apart, I won't run but I want you to be in my heart, my memories won't fade, such deep meaning in every word TT^TT''''
This song was the only epic thing in the movie "Epic" Love this song... didn't care about the movie... but in all fairness, that movie was how I found out about this song to begin with...
mandy macdonald It did have (very few) things about it that I liked, but it had a TON of other things I didn't care for or that I didn't like. In the end, the movie wasn't terrible, it was just very mediocre and didn't stick with me like other animated movies usually do (My mother on the other hand loved it)
this song was in the trailer basically saying What if this storm (their assignment) ends and I don't see you (make it back or come back changed like most army dogs do) it fits if you really think about it. The movie didn't have to be good to be a great movie. It showed you what our boys go through to do their jobs. I salute all our military men and women, thank you for keeping me safe!
Man I love this fucking song, but the problem is it brings back bad memories since I was listening to this when a girl rejected me. Still a damn good song though.
I remember replaying this song again and again two years ago while doing my English Alevel coursework on Edgar Allan Poe. I can't help but think of his every time I listen to this song now.
+JAYZON HD there's still good music coming out. you just gotta look for it. the "sex money drugs" thing will probably phase out of pop music soon, but who knows what coming after.
My friend, this song symbolizes the love of a woman, this love is then lost through the trials of time and separation. The song speaks about what its like to miss something so important along with the feelings of loss and sadness in its absence, and what it would be like to see this beautiful memory after it has changed through the ages. It also talks about him finding this woman again after having lost her. How sweet.
This song has been out forever and I'm just now discovering it 😩 im only here because of a song called purple line by Ben bohmer and lyrics from here are used in the song

The first time I heard those lines I immediately knew that not only was this a great song, but a great band as well.
The shameful part? The "Fifty Shades of Grey" Pseudo-trailer brought me here. There. I said it.
Friggin' awesome song.
gives me the chills
Me too.
I'm glad there are other smart people in this world. Thank you. I actually learned about this song by listening to it when the album came out. So the movie really has no relevance to it in my book.
i remember i heard this in the trailer for the movie epic back in 2013 and i've loved it ever since.
Check out youtuber Grable424 and see how he used for the video he did
This song is the one that makes me want to just lie down, clear my brain, and re-think everything...Snow Patrol, I salute you.
2018 this song is with me since 2009 and always will be
Still with me.
Criminally underrated by the way
These guys are pure GENIUS!!! Appropriate adjectives have not been invented yet!
Thank you for sharing that wonderful fact of information and wisdom on an a completely unrelated topic :). Now I will pretend that I didn't read your comment which just broke my mind and opened it up in a whole new era of adventurous thoughts, even though you touched light on a very delicate topic.
I have been looking for this song for years. I finally heard it on an ad and shazamed it!
congratulations :D
Do you say "Shazam!" out loud when that happens?
Mallory Seyboldt good for you :D
I remember it was back in 2013 in the trailer of epic I knew there was something about the song it made me feel so.... alive and yet it's 5 years later that I actually find it why not sooner? the world has show me a new path
Please Lord let this song live in my mind and heart for the rest of my life.... so beautiful
"This is way bigger than we thought It was... They are gonna hit us at home"
No easy day. Hooya!
Love it when music moves you .... and you completely feel It!
While calm and smooth and beautiful, this song kinda creeps me out. It's not bad, though, More... haunting than anything, really. Few songs are good enough to make one feel that way... hell, feel so much in general xD
Love it
They achieve a certain aching magnificence in this suite of songs.
People are saying the date they are in, '2015, 2016, still loving snow patrol'..
3039, still loving this song .
well, 2019 XD

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Beautifully written. ♥
👍 agree
I don't understand why someone would dislike this.
Remember, everything need to have a balance, nothing can be loved by everyone, if so, it is not real.
Headfirst into the storm of grief... for my sister my best friend and her children left behind... which she would never ever have done... "lit you up.like a star which I will follow"... "if this storm ends and leaves us nothing.. I want to see you as you are now...be the lightening in me that strikes relentless"
I love you my darling...
I am so very sorry for your loss.
The song and the lyrics is so beautiful, it makes me cry a lil bit, its like the moment before the end of the world, the sky is dark the storm is coming, I want to see you though we have been apart, I won't run but I want you to be in my heart, my memories won't fade, such deep meaning in every word TT^TT''''
Every sentence seems to have their own meaning...it's really awesome.
Isto é um hino a existir e sentir.
"...be the lightening in me that strikes relentless..." so Christian Grey! This song fits that character so well! Amazing....
I came here because I fell in love with the movie "epic" trailer, especially the song ^ and that's what this song truly is, epic.
Brought here by act of valor
+grant brooks Same here. Fantastic movie! So sad though.
+grant brooks same
i love this song so much!! Snow Patrol has so much talent!
2014. We still don't know if the storm will end.
Emo GirlKitteh never will
It is as it should be.
+Emo GirlKitteh even in 2016!
+Emo GirlKitteh it's 2016
Felipe Lopez it's 2017
Moved to college this week. When I'm done calling home and hang up, this song plays in my head.
Came cause a very beautiful LoL 10 year anniversary tribute. Stayed cause its a great song.
i love the heart rate line in the background - nice touch. Thanx for posting.
This song was the only epic thing in the movie "Epic"
Love this song... didn't care about the movie... but in all fairness, that movie was how I found out about this song to begin with...
You didn't like it? I absolutely LOVED that movie and I'm almost 30 lol. Different strokes for different folks :)
mandy macdonald It did have (very few) things about it that I liked, but it had a TON of other things I didn't care for or that I didn't like. In the end, the movie wasn't terrible, it was just very mediocre and didn't stick with me like other animated movies usually do (My mother on the other hand loved it)
mandy macdonald 10/10 would bang.
I saw the music in the 'Epic' ad. I loved the music, and now I'm doing a lyric videos on it that should be much more accurate.
Music Lyric Videos you are over-promoting here, dude
this song was in the trailer basically saying What if this storm (their assignment) ends and I don't see you (make it back or come back changed like most army dogs do) it fits if you really think about it.
The movie didn't have to be good to be a great movie. It showed you what our boys go through to do their jobs. I salute all our military men and women, thank you for keeping me safe!
Where can we find more music like this?! love it!
I love this song
It's 2019 and im 13 and i love this song, still.
God, this is sucha beatiful song....everything about is just amazing. This is my first time hearing this band and I'm already in love with the song.
I’m listening to this with what sounds like a tornado outside to calm my nerves.
First got hooked on this when i saw the trailer for Act of Valor. 2014, I'm still hooked
2021 still listening 👂
An amazing Band brought me here! Heard of them? There called Snow Patrol! nothing else!
Man I love this fucking song, but the problem is it brings back bad memories since I was listening to this when a girl rejected me. Still a damn good song though.
happens to the best of us
the feels man. look at our community now, wont ever be the same...
I saw the trailer of EPIC and I tought this song was so beautiful, so glad I found it!!
This song is *Epic*
I remember replaying this song again and again two years ago while doing my English Alevel coursework on Edgar Allan Poe. I can't help but think of his every time I listen to this song now.
This was uploaded on my birthday!
even though its not march 4 happy b day!
cotton007cp What he said
Happy birthday (though it's not march 4th anymore)
Thanks lol
wooow my birthday is the same day XD march 4
To think that a 2013 movie that I never watched (Epic) brought me here that same year.
the damn memories, what ever happened to our god damn music...
Butts drugs and sluts
+JAYZON HD there's still good music coming out. you just gotta look for it. the "sex money drugs" thing will probably phase out of pop music soon, but who knows what coming after.
1:37 act of valor (this was in the trailer)
My friend, this song symbolizes the love of a woman, this love is then lost through the trials of time and separation. The song speaks about what its like to miss something so important along with the feelings of loss and sadness in its absence, and what it would be like to see this beautiful memory after it has changed through the ages. It also talks about him finding this woman again after having lost her. How sweet.
#Epic this song give me chills ❤
your mom gives me chills
egarciaeg420 what you talking about stupid 😑😑😑
+Lauren Plant 😦 don't call me stupid that's rude.. 😒
egarciaeg420 excuse me you're talking about my mom that's rude 😠😠😠😡 idiot
+Lauren Plant why are you always so mean to me? why can't we just be cool with one another
I really missed this song... God, I almost feel like it's been maybe a century since I last heard this song, but it's been almost a decade...
deepest song i've ever heard
I don't care what brought me here, just that it did. Can't believe I've been missing out on such a beautiful song ♥
This song has been out forever and I'm just now discovering it 😩 im only here because of a song called purple line by Ben bohmer and lyrics from here are used in the song
