Snow Patrol, Live @ Abbey Road.



"Show me a garden bursting into Life.."

Actually i only wanted "Chasing Cars" but apparently its one whole vid consisting of them playing 2 songs.

But Oh wells,

Anyways with regards to Chasing Cars - all i can say is this:
Its amazing how far a simple melody, with clear guitar rifs, good vocals, and a steady beat can get a song. It really is.
To me the best songs are those with melodious tunes and a simple repetition of chords.
This song, has only 3 chords. Normally, it is 4.
But this has 3 chords and it made it into the Top of the charts for one of the longest times ever.

Therefore, never and i mean never, underestimate the power of the simple melody.
Because to me, its those with a simple melodies that last for a long time.
A very long time...
