Gary Lightbody, Snow Patrol, I think of Home, Millenium Forum, Derry 11/05/2018

Acoustic version of I think of home with discussion of his Derry roots. Powerful moment acknowledging the death of Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit

[@3storiesUp]

My favourite Snow Patrol song .. and one of the best Irish songs ever. The guy is a poet.

I’m from Bangor and this made me cry all memories I know so well . A wonderful song

[@kellymowers664]

I remember the day Scott went missing…and then eventually learning that he was gone…I was crying with you Gary… i still miss him so much! I am so happy your Mom and Dad were in the audience…I imagine your Dad was beaming as he listened! Love ❤️ you! Love and Light…

[@djade76]

Lovely song. Good to see it getting the recognition it deserves.

[@yoshimimiyazaki2602]

I respect men who love the women in their lives, acknowledging the imprints they left. I love and respect Gary for his vulnerability and courage as he stands in front of a rowdy audience remembering Scott Hutchinson. He us truly a wonderful and creative man.

Lyrics I Think of Home - Gary Lightbody I remember trips to Belfast On that train that hugs the coast The fields turned quickly into golf course The golf course just as fast to fields It was a callow boast I’ll grant you To know it all when we knew none Those days we walked the streets of Belfast Like our kingdom come had come I think of home I often do You gotta know I love you now In this light how could I not I think of us just silly kids I bet we thought we’d never age And if we did we’d never dare say I remember trips to Derry On the old car’s freezing seats And I know fountain street in winter My grandma’s laugh the greatest noise It’s sure been harder since she left us And none of us have been the same But the light she left is endless And I still see her every day I think of home I often do You gotta know I love you now In this light how could I not I think of us just silly kids I bet we thought we’d never age And if we did we’d never dare say I remember trips through Ireland One caravan, two dogs, the sky My father yelling points of interest Us snotty kids just rolled our eyes The punched-out teeth of Irish history Mistakes were made let’s leave it there There one’s thing we can all agree on There’s beauty north, south, east and west I think of home I often do You gotta know I love you now In this light how could I not I think of us just silly kids I bet we thought we’d never age And if we did we’d never dare say I think of home I often do You gotta know I love you now In this light how could I not

What a man

[@mittelschwarz2304]

Wow.. makes me want to cry almost every time I´m watching it. Is it just me...or is it quite rude that the people keep yelling and shouting when he obviously struggles not to cry? That really breaks my heart to see...

[@somethingbiffy4017]

I'm preventing myself to cry while watching, promise. Drowning my face into pillows cause i can't stand watching gary being so emotional.

[@mittelschwarz2304]

@@somethingbiffy4017 To see him so emotional is really hard..but for me the reaction of the crowd is almost harder.. Everytime I see it I want to hug him :-(

@@somethingbiffy4017 I´ll join you if I may. It´s really astounding how close one feels to someone who shares his music, his lyrics, his emotionions and is able to touch every ounce of ones soul. I wish for you that you´ll meet him one day and can give back a little of what he gave you

Amazing acknowledgement of a great man Scott Hutchison. Do you by chance have the rest of this video? Looks like he said some more about Scott after the video ends.
