This song is absolutely exquisite. Gary’s voice and songwriting is out of this world, what a gift. If there is one voice I could listen too for the rest of my life, it would be Gary’s. He is a such a beautiful human being & what he has done for us in 2020 has been incredible. ♥️♥️
This song and this performance epitomises everything I love about Snow Patrol. They're overwhelming. The sound is overwhelming. The emotion is overwhelming. I am overwhelmed by them and I adore it.
The whole atmosphere, the absolute silence, the lights, the orchestra, the music, the poetry (we're not just talking about a song), his presentation, work together harmoniously to make you fall on your knees begging for even a drop of absolute happiness. What you have to remember is that to get to heaven you have to start from the bottom of hell. How hard is this all😢
This song gives me chills! It brings me back to late nights of wandering aimlessly through the streets of Rome, getting just as lost in the conversation as in the city and the starlight.
My god, this song takes me right back to wandering aimlessly around Rome with the guy I had a hopeless crush on during college, after everyone else had decided to go back to campus because it was getting late.
Man, this got me weeping just listening holding my phone up in front of me... I can only imagine what it was like actually being there... And I finally understood the last bit of the lyrics that was escaping me, land turns to sand! :-)
now, ive just recently become a huge snow patrol fan. gary's voice is mesmerizing in everything he does. but in this performance however, it's so calming and pure. i can't put into words how this song makes me feel, but its a great feeling.. simplicity at its finest. thank you so much for uploading this.and to make it better, this was uploaded on my birthday. snow patrol forever.
Oh my goodness! I have been a fan of you guys since approx. 2001. How could I have missed this song?? You played it in Hamburg last night and I was hooked. You are such a gifted poetic singer and it was just awesome to see you enjoy yourself so much on stage. It definitely transported. Thank you and enjoy the tour

25.1.19 seen them in Birmingham I'd always wanted to hear this live in person and during the song I just sat there memorised. Stunning the whole arena dropped silent. Great memory
@@chelseamum102 I loved the lights used throughout and their encore was brilliant I was happy they mixed old and new songs well worth the journey for it
Amazing song, so brilliant! I've tried a delicious hot spiced wine and thought of this song, it's Thanksgiving week so it's so welcoming! However, we are still in the middle of a pandemic so stay safe and warm everyone.❤️ 🍷
I will hang on the hook of your splendor As the night rolls us up in its arms And the square of your thumbs and your fingers Is the blanket of the sky that's so warm I know it's late but I can't help but think here That the day hasn't shown all its cards Now it's out to the stars of the ocean Let's not retrace our steps to the car Picking out all the stars that we like Between finger and thumb You laugh as you pass me the night As if it's too fragile to hold And I hold it so close to my chest With your hands in my hands You say this is just how we'll rest Until light turns to sound Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver Like the wings of the last bird to leave For the south for the heat for no reason I watch as they fly for sheer joy The wind shakes the branches above us And the car shaved the ground at our backs But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams Makes the cold just a word, just a sound Picking out all the stars that we like Between finger and thumb You laugh as you pass me the night As if it's too fragile to hold And I hold it so close to my chest With your hands in my hands You say this is just how we'll rest Until the light turns to sound
Gary posiada niesamowity glos,bawi sie nim, potrafi go wykorzystac i manipulowac.Osobiscie wole sluchac jego kawalkow w wersji koncertowej brzmienie jego glosu bez studyjnych "polepszen"znacznie bardziej do mnie przemawia.Jest niesamowity, polecam THE GOLDEN FLOOR oraz SAMEWHERE A CLOCK IS TICKING
Isn't anyone going to mention the pipe organ? Not many modern artists could so beautifully integrate this amazing instrument into their music.
This song is absolutely exquisite. Gary’s voice and songwriting is out of this world, what a gift. If there is one voice I could listen too for the rest of my life, it would be Gary’s. He is a such a beautiful human being & what he has done for us in 2020 has been incredible. ♥️♥️
This song and this performance epitomises everything I love about Snow Patrol. They're overwhelming. The sound is overwhelming. The emotion is overwhelming. I am overwhelmed by them and I adore it.
I don't know about others, this reaches my soul.
Definitely hits me hard
Such a big venue but his voice fills the whole place and silences everybody with pure emotion, magical probably the best word
took me awhile but caught up to you with this
When art is delivered from the soul in its purest form.
Epic
Every time I listen to it I'm completely overwhelmed. The song, the voice, Gary - it's just perfection!
poslouchám jí rok, co mi umřel přítel
I AM SIMPLY NEVER EVER SPEECHLESS... until I listen to this song. 🙏🏼😇🥰❤️
Amazing right. But I'm sure you bust out some lyrics during the song 😊
That is the voice of an angel.

I have to swear but this is fucking amazing. this is a voice that I would love to sing me sleep every night
My favourite Snow Patrol song ( I think). Just beautiful, both lyrics and Gary’s voice.
I love this concert....one of the best they’ve performed but then again who doesn’t love Gary!!!! What a beautiful person and a gift from god. X

This song gives me chills! It brings me back to late nights of wandering aimlessly through the streets of Rome, getting just as lost in the conversation as in the city and the starlight.
Nothing fancy.....just pure and simple brilliance. Works every time. Fantastic!!!
Sheer joy !❤❤❤❤such a powerful song !
My god, this song takes me right back to wandering aimlessly around Rome with the guy I had a hopeless crush on during college, after everyone else had decided to go back to campus because it was getting late.
Most beautiful song I've heard. Makes me miss someone I knew a very long time ago, wishing I knew him more so now that I'm mature.
Just reminds me how much I love my boyfriend and how special he is
Simplicity and gorgeous at its finest
Compelling...love the sound of your voice. You are a true artist, and sing with passion & sensitivity.
This Song is sang from Gary's Heart & Soul. Just Georgous To Listen To ! ❤
Man, this got me weeping just listening holding my phone up in front of me... I can only imagine what it was like actually being there...
And I finally understood the last bit of the lyrics that was escaping me, land turns to sand! :-)
this truly is a beautiful song. this version just blows me away , killed it !!
Missed this one way back when. Glad to find it in 2020.

Savannah Carkid Happy birthday 4 years later!!!
This video is so great in many ways. Gary's voice, the music and the place makes it almost magic, I just love this.
I always wonder about the people who puts hand down to songs that are so beautiful. Like, what's not to like?
honestly feel sorta bad for them...
Those people have no taste, a soul, no feelings etc. Feel sorry for those poor and disliked people with an empty boring life...
There's nothing to dislike about this performance .....nothing!
It’s someone’s personal preference. Why does it matter to you
Genius.
No words…truly awesome 🎧♥️🌻
Thank you for letting me know!
This live version is just perfect :)
Oh my goodness!
I have been a fan of you guys since approx. 2001. How could I have missed this song??

Phenomenal song and performance, passed this Url to many people already, thankyou FeliciaYT for uploading :D
will do that too. :)
I will hang on the hook of your splendor
As the night rolls us up in its arms
And the square of your thumbs and your fingers
Is the blanket of the sky that's so warm
I know it's late but I can't help but think here
That the day hasn't shown all its cards
Now it's out to the stars of the ocean
Let's not retrace our steps to the car
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until light turns to sound
Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver
Like the wings of the last bird to leave
For the south for the heat for no reason
I watch as they fly for sheer joy
The wind shakes the branches above us
And the car shaved the ground at our backs
But the dark roman wine in our bloodstreams
Makes the cold just a word, just a sound
Picking out all the stars that we like
Between finger and thumb
You laugh as you pass me the night
As if it's too fragile to hold
And I hold it so close to my chest
With your hands in my hands
You say this is just how we'll rest
Until the light turns to sound
