hey.... I'm in this .. thats me at the 2min mark pretending to be a camera guy.. Acting i gues its called.. also built the set and maintained it during the shoot and after. 20 years in the film biz and i have to say... Gary from snow Patrol is one of the nicest dudes I've had the pleasure of working with. total class act !!!!
Colman Costello as a long-time fan, this is so nice to hear even though I already know. Just meeting him for a few minutes after gigs you can tell he has a good heart, which is why it’s been heartbreaking to learn about his struggles with addiction and depression. I’m so glad he got help and is doing better now, but still it made me sad that somebody whom I admire so much and who has brought so much joy into my life with his music and wit had to suffer like that.
He is so down to earth and salt of the land. I love the fact he has live Instagram where he interacts with his fans. To me that shows he is so generous with his time. His foundations do a lot of work. I wish to meet him one day.
Wow nice Good Why did you keep the set for 20plus years though?.. N yeah I bet he is too... I always thought he would be.. I've seen them twice in concert.. my family partly Irish too.. Thanks for sharing
Really?? Omg that makes me happy to hear! The concept of the video is fantastic, it’s his *everything* but the crew (subtle dig at the entire music industry? Or maybe just his own experiences?) wants to polish with glitz and glamor and a “better” looking dude. Doesn’t work in the end. It closes with a “come as you are, imperfections and all” ❤
LeafTreez I think it has to be 10+ years to truly be nostalgic. It's not an exact science, but I'm pretty sure I'm right about this one. I do get what u mean tho.
For me this IS their best song. Never gets old. It’s the perfect marriage of song and video. I really love it. It always lifts my spirit to listen and watch it. The dancers are amazing.
Gary said that he met Jack Davenport just before this was filmed and Davenport was complaining that singers get "instant" recognition, while actors do not. Gary offered Davenport a spot in this music video...shoving him out of the spotlight!
I can't belive this song is more than 11 years old! It was like yesterday when I was in elementary school and this song was released and played everyday on VH1 channel...good times!
eminems99 I watched that on RUclips but that was a long time ago. I would like to see him more now. I really hated the show Smash but he was a stand out in the show. He seems to get good roles in shows that don't last in the US. It seems like a waste of talent.
this music video is so good. the actor-singer looks like what you'd expect someone with this smooth voice to sound and the way they show he isn't the real singer is entertaining and lovely!
I love this band so much. One of my favorites. Great songwriting by Lightbody. I love the fact that he doesn't feel the need to rhyme all of his lyrics together. Seriously not enough recognition for the amount of talent this guy has.
My dad listened this song in car on first day of seing first son who is me and thinged am I will be smart will be listening to dad and not doing bad things and now I’m 11 years old love this song all things what my dad thinged I’m still doing but 1 problem that I have glasses ❤
Que nostalgia mano! Já são 7 anos que procuro o nome dessa música e não sabia o nome da banda nem nada e agora escutei na novela e cheguei aqui. Parece que ganhei na loteria de tanta felicidade só de ter encontrado kkkkkkk
This is the cutest thing. I love how it is representative of how music artists must feel when they have been in the industry for a while. Like even though it's thier music, they don't feel like they get to be in the spot light as themselves.
Best song ...when you don't believe in yourself ..just go out there and do it ...and belief will find you to teach you how to believe ...never become what you became ..but become what you wish to become ! .
Video touches on a cool point so many song writers aren't given credit for their work because a photogenic singer takes all the credit love the work done by this band hope to hear more in the duture
This is what a good music vid should be, funny, sensible and have a story. I was never bored while watching and got my AWWW moment in the end (I KNEW the director would end up dancing with him). Love it. It suits the music too. There's a reason why people make videos for their music, and somehow the purpose is lost these days. And question: Why do they not have a grammy yet?
Back in the early 2010s, I had an mp3 player that could pick up radio, so while I was staying at a relatives house, I listened to music on the radio. One night, this song came on, and I just remember holding the player up to keep the good reception, because I fell so much in love with this song. Now, I love it just as much, and I feel so happy I discovered it by accident all of those years ago.
I love where Gary's dancing with the girls at 2:33! Such a cutie...;) I must say, amazing song & one of the best music videos out there. Finally someone with creativity!
I was totally hooked onto the video the entire 4:24 mins. I often check out the comment section while I listen to any songs but this was totally an exception.
+vXINFINITYXv Well holy fucking shit, this song is 4 years old and you can still listen to it in 2016, i mean holy fucking jesus mfing christ how on the Earth is this possible, songs can't live this long for sure, i mean you listen to one song for one year and it's fucking old like your fucking IPhone which you change for new one every halfayear, but damn some of the songs are just masterpieces you can listen for more than few years, i mean like a good ol nokia do you follow me? Fuck you.
Melancholy, hauntingly beautiful. I will come back here year after year because this song got it so right with melody, lyrics. Became a fan of their music because of this very song. 💋 😘 🎶
Lyrics It's like we just can't help ourselves 'Cause we don't know how to back down We were called out to the streets We were called in to the towns And how the heavens, they opened up Like arms of dazzling gold With our rain washed histories Well they do not need to be told Show me now, show me the arms aloft Every eye trained on a different star This magic This drunken semaphore And I We are listening And we're not blind This is your life This is your time We are listening And we're not blind This is your life This is your time I was called out in the dark By a choir of beautiful cheats And as the kids took back the parks You and I were left with the streets Show me now, show me the arms aloft Every eye trained on a different star This magic This drunken semaphore And I We are listening And we're not blind This is your life This is your time
thank you for posting the lyrics. A very powerful song and a nice video that points to the meaning of the amazing lyrics. Wish to see them live and hope it sounds as good as i imagine. They did not need to be told "And how the heavens, they opened up Like arms of dazzling gold With our rain washed histories Well they do not need to be told" and "it's like we just can't help ourselves 'Cause we don't know how to back down We were called out to the streets We were called in to the towns" and ....Pretty much explains life in a song
I completely forgot about this song, then today it was on the radio at a cafe I was 😭 I remembered the lyrics right away, every word. And the video is still amazing, so awesome

Is it too early to say I get serious nostalgia from this?
nooo!!!

LeafTreez get nostalgia too ^^

The atmosphere....no words
Chasing cars for me
Agreed! Dancers👌👍, short haired brunette 😍😍❤💓💘!
'Run' for me. Light up.
It's their most euphoric song imo. Love it
2:36 They change positions.
the end of 2023, and the song sounds like the first time ❤
One of the best songs ever made. You may not agree, but it is inspirational
Gary said that he met Jack Davenport just before this was filmed and Davenport was complaining that singers get "instant" recognition, while actors do not. Gary offered Davenport a spot in this music video...shoving him out of the spotlight!
Must have been quite the honor…
Source?
Everyone talking about Jack Davenport, but let's not forget about the pure brilliance of Tara Summers
This song was always on the radio when i use to work overnights at the hotel lodge ..back in 2012 great memories 😂❤
Jack Davenport + Snow Patrol = 🖤
Jack Davenport sucks!!!
@@DISTER141why?
What a fun video!
Glad I found this song again. That red head girl is so pretty.

2021, this never gets old
Jack Davenport, actor from FlashForward. So handsome, gracefull and cool!

Love Jack Davenport! Why he isn't a bigger star I will never know! So gorgeous!
+Freddie Grace he is mate but in england....he had a fantastic show called coupling
eminems99 I watched that on RUclips but that was a long time ago. I would like to see him more now. I really hated the show Smash but he was a stand out in the show. He seems to get good roles in shows that don't last in the US. It seems like a waste of talent.
That was 15 years ago! (I did like that show too)
Because he is too SOFISTICATED for WIDE PUBLIC!
Jack is amazing!
2021, February 17th and I'm still here, and here is where I'm gonna stay! ❤️
Omg the guy in the grey suit is from the movie pirates of the caribbean....Mr. Norrington aka Jack Davenport
I remember when I first heard this track on the radio in 2011 during a terrible time in my teenhood. I just remembered it again.
I'm a 71-year old hard-core rock fan, and I've gotta say that rock has never been better. Thanks for posting this aural gem!
Stefan J same
This isn't rock
Luke S then what is this?
Are you dead now in 2018
I am 61 and just saw them on James Corden. Still looking for good music!
I love how Jack Davenport is in the video of one of my most favourite songs ever
3:22 Jack Davenport is fire 🔥
I remember when this clip was released, I was 14 and loved this song. Miss that time
I love Jack Davenport. I need to watch Coupling again!
Funny to think he was in that and also the first pirates of the Caribbean film
Jack Davenport is bloody lovely in this.
Jack Davenport looks so handsome here oh my
I love Snow Patrol, they have some of the best songs and music videos. And Jack Davenport is easy to look at XD
2021 and here i am :))
This song still hits the mark during specific life transitions. I find myself coming back to it. 🙌❤️🔥
'Specific life transitions.' Correct.
Wish I could travel back in time to live in this era again.
this music video is so good. the actor-singer looks like what you'd expect someone with this smooth voice to sound and the way they show he isn't the real singer is entertaining and lovely!
Until you hear the actual voice of Jack Davenport XD
Two of my fave guys in one video, Gary Lightbody and Jack Davenport 😁
Gary`s voice and Jack Davenport... damn a good combination I loooove this song
Excellent Excellent EXCELLEEEEENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey it's one of my favorite English actors Jack Davenport! He was so great as the director in Smash one and two..
I love this band so much. One of my favorites. Great songwriting by Lightbody. I love the fact that he doesn't feel the need to rhyme all of his lyrics together. Seriously not enough recognition for the amount of talent this guy has.
3:35 that moment when all you want to do is sing and dance with the cute director. I feel you Gary!
Then the sexy girls are dancing in their bras and panties 😳😃
My dad listened this song in car on first day of seing first son who is me and thinged am I will be smart will be listening to dad and not doing bad things and now I’m 11 years old love this song all things what my dad thinged I’m still doing but 1 problem that I have glasses ❤
Glasses aren't a problem, little dude. Don't let anyone make you feel any kinda way about needing them.
@@infernalpleb4361oh ok thanks
Jack Davenport looks amazing!
My god, I just love this song! And Tara Summers, she's absolutely gorgeous!
Which girl is Tara summers?
2022 and almost 2023 and still underrated. Should have a billion views!
My favorite Snow Patrol song!
Que nostalgia mano! Já são 7 anos que procuro o nome dessa música e não sabia o nome da banda nem nada e agora escutei na novela e cheguei aqui. Parece que ganhei na loteria de tanta felicidade só de ter encontrado kkkkkkk
Nossa, eu ouvi na novela também e fiquei feliz... Pois gosto da musica e não sabia nome e cantor.
Tamu juntooo
Tbm mano
Eu procurava a anos, nem acredito que achei 🤣😍
Tinha 20 anos na época... lembro que escutava demais essa música. Escutei hj na novela e corri pra cá kkkk
How is this song 9 years and 3 months old???!!! :O Feels like yesterday it came out, the years are flying.....
I've been looking for this song for the past 10 YEARS, I'm so happy I finally found it
haha i luvs it
I LOVE Snow Patrol !!! I have to have a daily fix🥰
hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.

One of the best, alternative rock bands of the uk.
this song is precious
Love everything about this - I move and groove and love. 4.3 minutes of storytelling!
hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.
My words won't explain the song's greatness, But the song will.
Video touches on a cool point so many song writers aren't given credit for their work because a photogenic singer takes all the credit love the work done by this band hope to hear more in the duture
Esse clip é maravilhoso!

Great song. Charming video. Witty, sweet, profound. Jack Davenport there, doing a grand job. Gary, a natural comic. What's not to like? 😊
Helen Ayres gary annoying
@@anav406 I think I'd be annoying too, if was being prevented from singing my own song.
This Song makes me happy still in 2023. Someone else? 😊

A great song and Jack Davenport
Impossível não amar as músicas do Snow Patrol... Simplesmente perfeitas ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was totally hooked onto the video the entire 4:24 mins. I often check out the comment section while I listen to any songs but this was totally an exception.
Xecutioner gunner same here bro
Snow patrol is one off the best songwriting bands in the 2000s… epic, deep and beautiful
8 years ago I was 12 holy... This song is still pure art. I love it
I'm 19 and only discovering it now...you're so lucky you got to know it at such an early age :))
I was 12 too huh
One of the most underrated music bands
Jack 1:25 - 1:54 I'm drooling!!!

Fiquei apaixonada pelo Snow Patrol no RIR, amava essa música e agora descobri que tava na novela tb!!
Lyrics
It's like we just can't help ourselves
'Cause we don't know how to back down
We were called out to the streets
We were called in to the towns
And how the heavens, they opened up
Like arms of dazzling gold
With our rain washed histories
Well they do not need to be told
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye trained on a different star
This magic
This drunken semaphore
And I
We are listening
And we're not blind
This is your life
This is your time
We are listening
And we're not blind
This is your life
This is your time
I was called out in the dark
By a choir of beautiful cheats
And as the kids took back the parks
You and I were left with the streets
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye trained on a different star
This magic
This drunken semaphore
And I
We are listening
And we're not blind
This is your life
This is your time

thank you for posting the lyrics. A very powerful song and a nice video that points to the meaning of the amazing lyrics. Wish to see them live and hope it sounds as good as i imagine.

Whats the song about tho?
I'm not surprise if you still get likes from this 😂😂
More Gary Lightbody & Snow Patrol! less crap from the pop label ! Love how they lampoon this!
Grey's Anatomy brought me here
Those dancers are extremely talented. They couldn't have been better and adds big rhythm flow to the video.
Nossa quanto tempo não ouvia essa música, gosto muito
Amazing sound and video. Love it.
I should have appreciated more this song when it was released 9 years ago, honestly is one of my favorite songs nowadays
i wanna come back to this era.
12 years and still I’m in love with this song 🥰❤️
2022 still here ❤️
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support🎵❤️
Jack Davenport
I completely forgot about this song, then today it was on the radio at a cafe I was 😭 I remembered the lyrics right away, every word. And the video is still amazing, so awesome
This song has been stuck in my head all day. Even woke up with it on my mind.
It is so good.
Back again!
