I know next to nothing about Snow Patrol, but the music of that song is pretty near perfect - beautiful melodies, harmonies, pace and feel. Maybe that contrast with the desperate lyrics and the sickeningly dark video means the end of the world really is nigh :frown: Is this really what drives you young folk these days? This juxtaposition of sound and image is almost irresponsibly dangerous. There is nothing romantic in suicide. Please someone tell me I've got this all wrong!
In the meantime I feel driven to listen to Brian Eno and John Cale's Spinning Away (which uses similar musical ideas) before I go back to Run and have another listen.
