Run

A few years ago a song came out by Snow Patrol, most of you have probably forgotten about this band. I have not, since the couple of songs that came out I LOVED! Including a song called Run.

Lead singer Gary Lightbody said of the song in Q Magazine April 2007:



"I've never told anyone before and I don't want to spoil it for people because it has its own meaning for them. But in 2000 I was on a massive bender and one night I was drinking in the bar of the Glasgow School Of Art. I fell down a full flight of stairs. Jonny Quinn (Snow Patrol's drummer) found me in the stairwell with blood coming out of my head. He said I looked like a police chalk line and he thought I was dead.


I was very lucky. A fall like that could easily finish you off. I split my head open and my eye was closed and I lost a few teeth. I was put on a plane to see my mum and dad and they were terrified when they saw me. I wrote Run soon after in this little guitar I'd tried to smash up in my s**t little room near Hillhead. The words 'Light up, light up' gave this sense of a beacon. There had to be a light at the end of a tunnel."

 

Then as of late a newer version of Run came out by Leona Lewis, and not only did I fall in love with the song all over again, as depressing as it is. She just BLOWS the original out of the water. The lungs on this girl is amazing....!
