You feel it bursting within you, that garden of life. They’re different from what you see and what I see.
#CHASING CARS SONG IN A MOVIE WINDOWS#
The light inside your head turns into those eyes, the windows to a heart that you plan to settle in. “All that I am, all that I ever was, is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see.” This eternal promise that if you and I chase this feeling, this thought, these cars, then it will all be worth it. “Show me your garden that’s bursting into life.”Īnd you do. The backup vocals sound almost as if angels have decided to harmonise. Just the promise of being in agreement of doing something that although so mundane, if done together, could be greater than the sum of our parts.Īnd then you see it. These were the words you were looking for, weren’t you? This was the confession you were so willing to make but didn’t know how.īut by doing what? What are the things that we can do together that will help us blossom? In this day and age, where wasting time is a useless commodity, and you feel like every moment not spent doing something, is a moment doing nothing. What is worth wasting our time? Time, that precious bomb that so lingers around our heads.Ĭhasing cars, he suggests. Is it snowing? Is it raining? What is that light in the corner of your mind and where is it taking you? What does it want? There’s a soft leading line on a guitar in the distance. “If I lay here, I just lay here, would you lie with me? And just forget the world. You remember the last person who hurt you said those words just the same. You say it, but It feels empty leaving your lips. What are the words that one uses to say how they feel – how they truly feel about someone.
#CHASING CARS SONG IN A MOVIE HOW TO#
“I don’t quite know, how to say, how I feel.”Īnd neither do you nor me nor anyone else. Just like the alternating notes and the three chords that underlie the tune. An honest declaration of something very simple. You instantly agree, without a moment of hesitation. “If I lay here, If I just lay here, would you lie with me? And just forget the world. He then goes on to ask the question he asks throughout the entire song: They come from a place where rhyme and reason don’t exist. It doesn’t rhyme, but it doesn’t have to, because the words are so honest. His voice is reassuring and serves as a pleasant reminder that all of it is possible: Gary Lightbody, the lead singer of Snow Patrol, and the mind and matter behind Chasing Cars sings very purely, almost as if he’s talking to you. Then, like a close friend, it holds your hand and guides you through this abyss. With alternating notes running back and forth throughout the entire song, the song welcomes you in its spaces and allows you to fill in the gaps with your words and memories. The song is three chords entirely – nothing overly complicated. Better than the earnest Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars, better than the icy warm words of Perfect by Ed Sheeran, or the tumultuous Romeo and Juliet story of Love Storyby Taylor Swift – Chasing Cars is in a league of its own. This is the power of the best love song written in the 21 st century. When the repetitive questions are asked in the chorus, without once naming the song, you know what you’re listening to. When the breathy vocals fill in the void between the alternating notes, you know what you’re listening to. When the two notes alternate between E and A, you know what you’re listening to.
