my wife used to listen to this alone until one day I stopped to listen to it with her.She passed away of leukemia 3 years ago leaving our daughter and family.I still listen to this to capture that moment I first heard this with her!
This song came out a few weeks before my husband passed away. He took my entire soul with him that day. Every day I lashed out, in a fury, begged, cried and screamed for him to just come back to me. It exhausted me. After I was finally able to pick myself up off the floor, this song was every emotion I felt inside. It’s still hard to listen to, but, now I’m able to remember him with a smile, too. Love you, Baby. “In perpetuum semperque”
Same, haven’t thought or listened to this song for absolutely years, not particularly I genre I listen to, and it randomly came into my head. Funny how the mind works.
Why only 13M views. It just proves that there are less person who've fallen in true love and heard this song. This song is best for people in early stages of love. Do dedicate it to your lover, hope he/she hears this and respond to your feelings. There's nothing beautiful than that. Wish you all find the love of your life and enjoy this thing, people call 'life' to full extent of it, with your special one.
Every now and again I forget how much I love snow patrol. Then this and crack the shutters pop into my head for no reason, and I find myself listening to them on loops. Snow Patrol are such an underrated band, and I’m usually a bit of a metal head 🤣
Whilst my own experience with this song is not as sad as most peoples experiences i dunno i feel like ill share, i had a girlfriend in America when i was a teenager and i lived in the UK, so every line pertained to us when i missed her. Looking at her house on google maps just to feel close, dreaming i could teleport or win a lot of money and just turn up at her door seeing her smile. Hauntingly beautiful and gives me chills to this day. The raw human emotion in this song is palpable.
@@jamesrobson4894 Yea, you kinda know you have something stunning when theatrics is kept at a minimum because the emotions and lyrics speak for themselves.
So incredibly emotional. This is what's great about Snow Patrol is how emotional and poetic their songs are and Gary Lightbody is an amazing songwriter.
I find the map and draw a straight line Over rivers, farms, and state lines The distance from here to where you'd be It's only finger-lengths that I see I touch the place where I'd find your face My fingers in creases of distant dark places I hang my coat up in the first bar There is no peace that I've found so far The laughter penetrates my silence As drunken men find flaws in science Their words mostly noises Ghosts with just voices Your words in my memory Are like music to me I'm miles from where you are I lay down on the cold ground I, I pray that something picks me up And sets me down in your warm arms After I have travelled so far We'd set the fire to the third bar We'd share each other like an island Until exhausted, close our eyelids And dreaming, pick up from The last place we left off Your soft skin is weeping A joy you can't keep in I'm miles from where you are I lay down on the cold ground And I, I pray that something picks me up And sets me down in your warm arms And miles from where you are I lay down on the cold ground And I, I pray that something picks me up And sets me down in your warm arms
I don't know about anyone else but listening to the lyrics make me think about the Doctor and Rose. But when the two singers places their hands upon the glass side by side singing ' miles from where you are..' , oh my, my Doctor/Rose feels kicked in! The lyrics just match!! Aaahhh...
A friend put this on a compilation for me and first time I heard it, it sent shivers through me. I really would "pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your warm arms". A year later I found the man who would become my husband on the other side of the world. We're still together 14 years later.
@@jaycumming4233 Met on a holiday, visited each other's countries, got married and fortunately I was able to go live in his country and now he is able to live in my country (has to renew his visa every few years). We were fortunate, some other people we knew just couldn't afford to be together very often and the visa systems were against them, meant they couldn't live together.
Why isn't there a 'feat. Martha Wainwright' she did a damn good job in this song, she deserves a lil shout out. Edit: Waheyy, they added it - fair play
+Centrey absolutely agree, unless she's considered a member of the group somehow, which I don't think so. honestly, until seeing the video because no one ever mentioned her name I really thought that was Kate Bush singing, very similar voice
When I was younger, I interpreted it as a couple who, after years together, were still madly in love, but couldn’t comprehend each other anymore, and the « miles from where you are » was metaphorical. They want to understand each other again, but dont know how to talk to each other about it.
It gives me goosebumps. What an amazing track. Snow Patrol have just done a gig 31/8/22 in Bangor to celebrate Gary Lightbody (a local lad), the honour The Freedom of The Borough. Tickets sold in a flash, so missed out, but could hear from my apartment. Well deserved honour for Gary, he really is a nice, humble & a talented gentleman.
You guys have no idea hows many times I played this while getting over my ex, how many times it has made me cry, but it's so soothing at the same time. Nothing will ever be the same but I am ok now and can make it through the entire song just fine now.. it's fucking beautiful I love it thank you so much Snow Patrol!
I loved him beyond human comprehension. We were best friends and became bonded to each other through a terrible loss; inexplicable trauma. He was the best thing to come out of the worst days of my life. For the first time ever, I was home. I had never felt so loved and safe, even while my world had just crumbled to pieces. I had him. He pieced me back together when I never thought I could be whole again only to break me all over again. I thought he was my soulmate. I never felt love like that in my life. Three years and I still cry listening to this.
So long ago, deep winter, losing her, returning to her cold room, clinging to love in my desperation, the growing distance between us. All in my past, all captured in this unique exquisite song.
+ShadoeWynd Try looking for your soul - its in there somewhere. I suggest the following as ideal listening: Whispering Pines by The Band, Downbound Train by The Boss and .... why bother, you're probably a Meatloaf or U2 fan. Ugh
Agree, It's the heart & talent of @snowpatrol and in particular Gary's songwriting ability and beautiful expressive voice that leads & melds everything together into that rare place of striking emotional depth and a permanent home in one's heart and mind. Snow Patrol has timeless appeal and importance for🌏 generations to come to find release and comfort in. Thank you for your service, as well.☮️
When I was little my parents always listened to this and I loved it. I still love snow patrol to this day but I always pictured the music video as people in a forest, separated.
+Derek Boal It's not 6 years old. This was uploaded to RUclips in 2009, but released in the album 'eyes open' in 2006. So I was 6 when I listened to it.

Back in 2011 I was living in Dunedin. Walking home from work in the cold winter nights I would listen to this song missing someone I’d lost to the other side of the world a couple of years before. 11 years later and I’ve still not seen them again.
Last week, while waiting for takeout, I stumbled upon this song by pure chance. It turned my sometimes sad world a bit more beautiful, and definitely more melancholic and yearning. A simple moment transformed, reminding me of the beauty in the everyday :)
This song takes me back to the first time i heard it and still gives me all thee emotions in 2024 as it did back then. Damn what a freaking beautiful piece of art
I’m so glad that people are talking about long distance relationships and even breakups, because I thought reading through the comments that I was the only one where this song was for a long distance relationship/breakup. I am sorry for other people’s losses and I can understand that the song can have one or two meanings. I actually ran away from the town where we were born and where I met my first/puppy love/childhood sweetheart, we have known each other for 20 years, but had a breakup and stopped speaking for 10 years. I messaged him out of the blue the other day and we had a heart to heart, it’s strange the connections we have with people.
This was mine and Eddie's song. 12 years of happiness 13 years together. He went back to his old mistress vodka and she took him in October 2019 suddenly. Just before his 50th bday. I miss him so much. Every day, I love this song but this is the 1st time I've been able to hear it since he died. It hurts but I have an elastic heart. See you on the other side my love. See you on the other side.
This is one of those songs... where you feel like you're the only one who could *really*understand what it really means... when you can never be with the one person you love more than everyone else.
...and miles from where you are; I lay down...on the cold ground, I; I pray that something picks me up; and sets me down in your warm arms. Memories on headphones listening on train between Cornwall and Kent, missing my love. Now I live with him
Rediscovered this song after hearing it throughout my childhood and now it’s an all- time favourite of mine! Atmospheric, haunting, evocative, sublime!
Reminds me of a long lost love. We lived far apart and this was how it felt for us, we were deeply in love but lived so far from each other. But when we did come together...
I have loved this song for years, the first time I heard it was years go when I was driving alone round New Zealand, the last holiday I had with my mum before she passed. It made me cry back then and it does the same thing to me today. Beautiful. X
Same, my last holiday was with my mum. Traveling around NZ by coach for 2 weeks. My mum passed away a month later due to an aggressive cancer. For some reason today this song popped into my head. Was reading the comments til I saw yours. I hope you are doing well.
I love this song.. reminds me of the times I have spent with my love when I thought no one loved me.. we would play Snow Patrol every time he could be with me and the memories keep coming back to me every time I hear one of their songs.. still makes me cry😢 amazing band!!❤❤❤
Music/Songs like this remind me that I should never underestimate the feelings we can experience. We are all capable of this and should treat each other with this in mind.
Epitome of a long-distance relationship. I'm in one at the moment, we've been together 3 years. I didn't see him for 9 months because of covid! Thankfully we've caught up twice recently. But this song makes me think of him
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
One of the most underrated songs ever.
SO MUCH!
EPIC!
Never by me 🖤
Beautiful beautiful 🤗
13 million people watched this video, which part of that is underrated,, or are you so insecure you think your taste needs validation?
Still beautiful in 2024.
О боги,здесь кто-то есть! Я уже и не надеялась
2024 till the end.
it so is!!
Here we are my friends
Yesss

+pudgytot That is heartbreaking. Stay strong brother.
A joy you can keep. I pray that something picks you up.
❤❤❤
i am so sorry for your loss. Stay strong.
Peter Hay feel like a real man now
I remember this from the Dear John trailer and I love it so much
No joke im fucking crying it took me 5 years to find this, i remember from my childhood and i just couldn't control myself
Hahaha, same here to be honest!
Me too! I heard the instrumental on the X Factor last week, finally found it!
Jacob Marsh tungfr
Hahaha, same here to be honest! I have just found it too lol
Literally, I remember myself as a traumatized teenager and I can't stop crying wishing I could just tell her it's gonna be okay
This song came out a few weeks before my husband passed away. He took my entire soul with him that day. Every day I lashed out, in a fury, begged, cried and screamed for him to just come back to me.

Love you, Baby. “In perpetuum semperque”
Really got me with that😥 I hope you are healthy and happy now x
🙏
I hope you are alright now x
Can’t even imagine your pain… God gives you alot of strength
@@abelategui
Their voices compliment each other in a perfect cacophony. It's haunting.
cacophony
@@jameswoodall399 Yeah. They almost don't harmonise properly. It's a very unusual sound. Unusual, but beautiful.
I heard someone else try to do this song with him and it was awful.
October and April by the Rasmus is another really great duo/haunting song.
How is this not a bigger deal? It's an incredible piece of music
It's been 6 years and this song still hurts.
ikr
The ache.
12 actually
I don't think it ever stops hurting. You just learn to live around the pain... (For P.K., and my mommy, both of whom I failed...)
@@pariahmouse7794 dont be too hard on yourself. You've never truly failed until you've given up. And when you've fallen, rise again from the ashes.
It's nearly 2023 and I'm still here listening to this masterpiece
It needs a sequal.. it's not long enough.
Same here ..
Timeless classic 😊😊
Me too
It’s now 2023 and I’m still here!
I don't know why this song randomly came to my head in 2021. Glad it did though
Same here!
Same, haven’t thought or listened to this song for absolutely years, not particularly I genre I listen to, and it randomly came into my head. Funny how the mind works.
Same :)
This song used to mean a lot to me about 11-13 years ago. It's probably been a couple years since I listened to it now.
Its funny we all have the same weird things random in our heads
Why only 13M views. It just proves that there are less person who've fallen in true love and heard this song. This song is best for people in early stages of love. Do dedicate it to your lover, hope he/she hears this and respond to your feelings. There's nothing beautiful than that.

Martha Wainwright puts this track over the top
I was thinking "who's the quota girl with the singing capacity of a 12yo heavy smoker". But I guess to each their own è_é
Crimally unrated. Beautiful song
I agree
Who's listening to this masterpiece in 2024?
I am.
Here!
Me
I am!!!!
Every now and again I forget how much I love snow patrol. Then this and crack the shutters pop into my head for no reason, and I find myself listening to them on loops. Snow Patrol are such an underrated band, and I’m usually a bit of a metal head 🤣
Same here mate! Also, 'signal fire' is another good one that gets me everytime haha
Whilst my own experience with this song is not as sad as most peoples experiences i dunno i feel like ill share, i had a girlfriend in America when i was a teenager and i lived in the UK, so every line pertained to us when i missed her.

AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO FINDS THIS VIDEO INCREDIBLY & SUBLIMELY SENSUAL???????
AND THAT MIRROR SCENE WHEN THEY'RE BOTH AGAINST IT....UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No you’re not, I was just thinking earlier how this is the first music video I’ve come across that I’d describe as ‘sublime’! It’s AMAZING!!!!
@@jamesrobson4894 Yea, you kinda know you have something stunning when theatrics is kept at a minimum because the emotions and lyrics speak for themselves.
My thoughts exactly. Puts more recent music videos to shame in that respect.
So incredibly emotional. This is what's great about Snow Patrol is how emotional and poetic their songs are and Gary Lightbody is an amazing songwriter.
I didn’t know his last name was Lightbody - makes sense now! Please tell me I’m not the only one that knows exactly what these songs are about?!
@@Heldsam1 nope
Martha Wainwright, what an incredible voice.
This is what happens when collaboration is done correctly
massive agree
Wow haven't listened to this for a few years. Still an amazing track.
Martha Wainwright's voice is beautiful!
She is a class act
one of the best lovesongs ever written
Best Snow Patrol song period!
It's Run for me tbh but this song is pretty amazing too!
Song for the quarantine. So close, but I can’t touch you...
Also... "The laughter penetrates my silence, as drunken men find flaws in science"
Damn that's so true
Stay Strong!!
My 74 year old eyelids close slowly, never tiring of the harmonizing. Perfect lyrics.
I'm not a big fan of Snow Patrol, but this song is absolute perfection. It definitely hits the feelers.
I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My fingers in creases of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
I'm miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in
I'm miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
I don't know about anyone else but listening to the lyrics make me think about the Doctor and Rose. But when the two singers places their hands upon the glass side by side singing ' miles from where you are..' , oh my, my Doctor/Rose feels kicked in! The lyrics just match!! Aaahhh...
2023 and this song still gets me in the feels 😢❤

I really like this interpretation of the lyrics.

It gives me goosebumps. What an amazing track. Snow Patrol have just done a gig 31/8/22 in Bangor to celebrate Gary Lightbody (a local lad), the honour The Freedom of The Borough. Tickets sold in a flash, so missed out, but could hear from my apartment.
Well deserved honour for Gary, he really is a nice, humble & a talented gentleman.

Nothing will ever be the same but I am ok now and can make it through the entire song just fine now.. it's fucking beautiful I love it thank you so much Snow Patrol!
Why did I have to fall in love with the idea of something that maybe wasn't meant to be.
Because the real is cold and frozen over, when you dream, perhaps you will witness what love is.
Maybe let go of everything except love that you have to give. Then again maybe that might just leave you with nothing.
Because an idealist isn't a realist; we dream.
@@tmonette88 I'm optimistic ideally but realistically it can be difficult to know. Thoughts and feelings must compliment at very least
Bobba Fetter eek
I'm miles from where you are,I lay down on the cold ground and I pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your warm arms💖💖💖
Love those lyrics
This lovely song is understated- and underrated
Still a masterpiece 2022 love these two together ❤
Same here!
I loved him beyond human comprehension. We were best friends and became bonded to each other through a terrible loss; inexplicable trauma. He was the best thing to come out of the worst days of my life. For the first time ever, I was home. I had never felt so loved and safe, even while my world had just crumbled to pieces. I had him. He pieced me back together when I never thought I could be whole again only to break me all over again. I thought he was my soulmate. I never felt love like that in my life. Three years and I still cry listening to this.
I haven't heard this song in so long, I forgot how beautiful it is
this is so nostalgic to me , always *so good* and so painful at the same time.
So long ago, deep winter, losing her, returning to her cold room, clinging to love in my desperation, the growing distance between us. All in my past, all captured in this unique exquisite song.
the fuck?
+ShadoeWynd
Try looking for your soul - its in there somewhere. I suggest the following as ideal listening: Whispering Pines by The Band, Downbound Train by The Boss and .... why bother, you're probably a Meatloaf or U2 fan. Ugh
+Lawrence Simmons haha
I completely forgot this song existed. I loved it so much when it just came out.
My partner and I listened to this constantly when we were in a LDR, but now we are finally together and have been for the past 7 years 😍
this song has something special thing that can't be explain
This song make my cry...
2009 I listened to this through my whole deployment in the middle east. 12/13 years later and it hits the same, wow.
Agree, It's the heart & talent of @snowpatrol and in particular Gary's songwriting ability and beautiful expressive voice that leads & melds everything together into that rare place of striking emotional depth and a permanent home in one's heart and mind. Snow Patrol has timeless appeal and importance for🌏 generations to come to find release and comfort in. Thank you for your service, as well.☮️
Total sense when you're in totally different time zones
This song always sends me.
Sent to me years ago by 'the one that got away', but I finally got him back! x
When I was little my parents always listened to this and I loved it. I still love snow patrol to this day but I always pictured the music video as people in a forest, separated.
+Twist x Sniperz That's pretty cool
When you were little?? Only 6 years old. I wish I was your age and had your innocence
+Derek Boal It's not 6 years old. This was uploaded to RUclips in 2009, but released in the album 'eyes open' in 2006. So I was 6 when I listened to it.
+Twist x Sniperz I always pictured a misty, foggy, night and endless lines on the street.
+Ursula Whiteley Have you seen the video for 'Run'? I think that would fit your description better!
Lyrics
I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place
Where I'd find your face
My fingers increases
Of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
Their word's mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
I'm miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have traveled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in
I'm miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
Back in 2011 I was living in Dunedin. Walking home from work in the cold winter nights I would listen to this song missing someone I’d lost to the other side of the world a couple of years before. 11 years later and I’ve still not seen them again.
This song is on the trailer Dear John. I love that trailer I have watched it so many times
How could anybody dislike this beautiful song!
This was the first Snow Patrol's song I heard. I still remember the day
Stupid distance....I miss you so much babe that hurts...love the song!
My favourite Snow Patrol song. Love it and love their voices together
How about you could be happy
200%
Martha wainwright take a bow 🙇♂️
Martha Wainright has the most amazing voice, chosing her for this song was genius.
One of my FAVOURITE songs
Last week, while waiting for takeout, I stumbled upon this song by pure chance. It turned my sometimes sad world a bit more beautiful, and definitely more melancholic and yearning. A simple moment transformed, reminding me of the beauty in the everyday :)
I really like your comment. Hope you will never unlearn to see the beauty in every day.
This is a great song i dont know why people today like songs that are without emotions, music is for expressing what you feel.
This song takes me back to the first time i heard it and still gives me all thee emotions in 2024 as it did back then. Damn what a freaking beautiful piece of art
I’m so glad that people are talking about long distance relationships and even breakups, because I thought reading through the comments that I was the only one where this song was for a long distance relationship/breakup.

This song is absolutely amazing in every way. Perfection! I ❤️ U
I'm sure it's been said a lot on here:
Such an underrated song.
This reminds me of when my dad took us to Coventry we used to listen to this coming back on the A1M
This was mine and Eddie's song. 12 years of happiness 13 years together. He went back to his old mistress vodka and she took him in October 2019 suddenly. Just before his 50th bday. I miss him so much. Every day, I love this song but this is the 1st time I've been able to hear it since he died. It hurts but I have an elastic heart. See you on the other side my love.

Same, my last holiday was with my mum. Traveling around NZ by coach for 2 weeks. My mum passed away a month later due to an aggressive cancer. For some reason today this song popped into my head. Was reading the comments til I saw yours. I hope you are doing well.
I love this song.. reminds me of the times I have spent with my love when I thought no one loved me.. we would play Snow Patrol every time he could be with me and the memories keep coming back to me every time I hear one of their songs.. still makes me cry😢 amazing band!!❤❤❤
I can’t handle this song right now
Everything about this song just gets to me. The lyrics, the somber piano, their harmonies... I just get CHILLS!
One of the best duet in the new century:)
Music/Songs like this remind me that I should never underestimate the feelings we can experience. We are all capable of this and should treat each other with this in mind.
This. Is such a moving piece. I don't know why ...I come and watch this when I am feeling super lonely.
Miss the love of my life more everyday, I wish there was a straight line to heaven
Such a beautiful song ❤
I love this entire album so much!

2021 - still a great love song, still underrated :-(
This is my favourite Snow Patrol song, Martha Wainwright's voice is just perfect!
Memory unlocked 🥹
Beautiful.
Epitome of a long-distance relationship. I'm in one at the moment, we've been together 3 years. I didn't see him for 9 months because of covid! Thankfully we've caught up twice recently. But this song makes me think of him
