Lyrics
Shut your eyes and think of somewhere
Somewhere cold and caked in snow
By the fire, we break the quiet
Learn to wear each other well
And when the worrying starts to hurt
And the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
You can imagine this place
Yeah, our secret space, at will
Shut your eyes, I'll spin the big chair
And you'll feel dizzy, light and free
And falling gently on the cushion
You can come and sing to me
And when the worrying starts to hurt
And the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
You can imagine this place
Yeah, our secret space, at will
(Shut your eyes)
(Shut your eyes)
Shut your eyes
Shut your eyes
Shut your eyes and sing to me
(Shut your eyes and sing to me)
Shut your eyes and sing to me
(Shut your eyes and sing to me)
Shut your eyes and sing to me
(Shut your eyes and sing to me)
Shut your eyes and sing to me
(Shut your eyes and sing to me)

[@wendyraye]

Julian takes me back to 2007, don’t know when it came out but the beginning is unforgettable. I love this song so much STILL!

[@alyxgraff9121]

Listening to this classic song in 2025 as I'm writing this message & it starts snowing here just as Gary says "somewhere cold & caked in snow". It hasn't snowed here in years & this snow day is really special. Happy Snow Day 2025, Snow Patrol. I look forward to hearing the new album that just got released.

[@KAToriginal]

One of the most underrated Patrol songs.

[@NYFanatic]

KAToriginal I’ll give you that. This needs to be on the radio.

[@s.k.2140]

NYFanatic2004 this was played heavily on many radio stations in Germany... Heard this also tonight :) (thats why i came here)

[@cheekyrick9529]

One of there best songs.

[@Empfangsdame]

Yeah heard this in Karstadt (big mall) today in Germany... ^^ Remembered my childhood when you could here this every 30min

[@turnstylee]

I love this

[@stevenunns2530]

The finest 3.25 minutes of music anywhere. Snow Patrol at their absolute best

[@jerryhoward8133]

This song is a hidden gem. So glad I found it out of left field. Easy to get hooked on Snow Patrol

[@mcmlxii4419]

I heard this song on a radio show called "World Cafe" on NPR. It was a pleasant surprise for me as well.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

Looks like we will be on s ow patrol one more time. A double Sammy storm with multiple removals Fast cash. 👍🏼❄️👍🏼❄️💰👍🏼❄️

[@wendyraye]

Sad when people don’t know about these awesome hidden gems.

[@dj_koen1265]

is it a hidden gem though? i think its a mainstream song, i have heard it countless times in random places and im only here because it was a recommended video and i wanted to remember what it sounded like

[@tabithaplowman4274]

I used to listen to this all the time. Every weekend that I had with my dad. On repeat, in his van. Over and over. We then lost the cd and found it again like four years later. Me and my dad still listen to this all the time because it makes me feel safe. This song is seriously underrated. ❤️

[@tabithaplowman4274]

@@AN-fw5el I will ❤️

[@lucycraig9276]

Brilliant comment, hope you and your dad have many more years of listing to this xx

[@Milagrosa247]

The feeling this song gives me even after all these years ❤️🥹

[@CaptainHaddock-x8u]

What a time it was to be alive! Nostalgia galore!!!!

[@tasnimanimanimaa]

Snow patrol : open your eyes Also snow patrol: shut your eyes

[@TheRabbitInTheTwoTonneHat]

Confused unga bunga

[@seandangercampbell]

I’m getting mixed signals…

[@israortiz9436]

😂🙌🏻

[@jamesy1ish]

Blink but in two parts

[@rajunaidu7751]

Yea nah 😆

[@industrect5337]

I generally don't listen to snow patrol because I don't like their style, but this song has me right in the heart.. I don't know what it is..

[@acommondisaster]

I can never figure out just where this song puts me. All I know is I like being there.

[@cherryellie]

acommondisaster yeess true

[@simren-td8bm]

Me too

[@martinfrasier5167]

Happy and lively

[@mikalmargetich7690]

Reminds me of the first time I played spyro on my demo disc when I was 7

[@emilyduke7530]

Love this song and I’m 67, not that that matters

[@michaelscot4816]

56yo fan here. Heard first on a high school station in indiana. The Eagle.

[@christellindroos7878]

​@@michaelscot4816Age is just a number ! I'm 68 and been a SP fan for two decades , love the lads ! Atb to you , hugs from Sweden 😊

[@rongrant3500]

This is the type of music we (65-70) grew up with, really, just a more current song along the same style. (growing up with rock, punk, new wave, 1st & 2nd British Invasions)

[@michaelscot4816]

@rongrant3500 well-perceived.

[@meandmyownable]

I love this song...it's one of those songs that never gets old...

[@petraluger5357]

ich weiß nicht, ob diese Band noch existiert, aber sie haben uns Großartiges geschenkt.... Weltklasse !!❤❤

[@GoodLuck-s2i]

It's a shame!! You can't be true to everyone in your life...

[@yettesowi5899]

Sometimes you just have to listen to your favourite song and escape into another dimension for a while 🎧♥️🌻

[@RainbowsIBarf]

This is my favorite of all 'Snow Patrol'.

[@terminallyelleofficial]

It's been 10 years and I have still not found a song that makes me feel like this one does ❤

[@keithjones6023]

Great tune! 🎶

[@randomcreation1.0]

what it makes u feel?

[@florianseidel8574]

i'm so NOT INTO Pop-Music myself, but i come back to this song every now and then and get always get stuck, because it's such an underrated piece of music. Maybe you'd also like "Film School - 11:11" - it also gives me a similar vibe, though it's more like alternative rock and more noisy, but give it a try if you want.

[@davidsuttie4192]

Nearly 70 so not a kid when I first heard this... But this.. And the album it came from his one of the gullible best. Love the fact you can hear his Irish accent when singing!

[@davidlaherty2908]

When I need strength, I listen to this song.

[@BobSchoepenjr]

Who’s still listening with gratitude to this Great song in 2019?

[@papercraftingirl]

🙋

[@charlesgifford8808]

[@ksol1460tv]

it's going on my 2019 World Revue Mix CD!

[@eschel2155]

I dont ever listen to this song thats just the way i am.

[@catface3473]

4 /24😊

[@darkestserenity6775]

I like all Snow Patrol songs but this one speaks to me right now.

[@andrewhagopian468]

Hard to believe this song is nine years old. Were is my life going?

[@flowerheart.2639]

Andrew Hagopian same, so scary how time flies, isn't it?

[@andrewhagopian468]

Yeh, makes one wonder about all those wasted precious seconds, and what could be done with that time if one had them back.

[@photonotavailable7936]

Andrew Hagopian Wait 'till you get to be my age, then you'll really ask yourself that.

[@AlphaDuplo]

And now we are already at 11 years.

[@gardenpanda1]

Holy fuck just read the first comment and thought damn nine years already then i saw your comment and quickly realized that comment was made 2 years ago. Fucking 11 years! just goes to show enjoy the time you have because it really does fly.

[@joachimburkhardt655]

Den Song ewig nicht mehr gehört. Diese Woche beim Autofahren hat er mich angefahren, wieder. Bin ein Fan der 60/70er, als Musik Handmade war, als Keyboards aufkamen, die Rhythmen sich breiter aufstellten. Und jedes mal derselbe Gedanke, der Rhythmus gehört oder passt absolut in diese früheren Jahre, weil der Takt den menschlichen Rhythmus annimmt und umgekehrt, somit Mensch ins Vibrieren,Mitsingen,Tanzen mitnimmt. DAS ist einer der Sinne der MUSIK, Mensch und Lebewesen begleiten, fördern ... Gäbe es eine Musik zum Abschaffen von SM, ich wäre dabei !!!

[@matsarntzen93]

How come this song doesn't have more views? Such a good song.

[@Ned-Ryerson]

For a long, long time, this song was all the Snow Patrol I needed. Wildness changed that, and now I am even catching myself listening to Chasing Cars and some other songs. But this still rules.

[@lorir723]

Ned Ryerson ha, see how different they sounded in songs for the polar bear😂 still a good album, although it's teenage grunge, but my favorite album of there's has to be when it's all over we still have to clear up. if you haven't heard that album yet, suggest you do. wildness is wonderful as well. love this band, and all their music if friggin everything, I find my self "shutting my eyes" while listening to them, lol I'll leave, wish you the best with everything. 😂

[@SPAZZYok]

If you've ever been in love this song warms your soul in wintertime or regardless when it is cold...

[@alexnetsec]

Their best song ever.

[@JudyinAL]

This is their best I think. Awesome but extremely underrated song.

[@TheYossarrian]

It gets better every time I listen to it

[@cubalz3806]

Man I just love this song, it has a sweet groove to it. It would be a great song to listen on a loop in the dark. Damn fine.

[@blackbembel7794]

Yes a endless loope in the dark...while sitting at a window and watching it snow under a clear full moon nightsky...

[@chrischristoph2854]

Agreed!!!!

[@svenjansen2134]

Vapor wave it

[@lauriefujito-mcintyre7473]

I LOVE this song! Makes me feel ALIVE...and always will! It's one of those special songs that I can listen to over and over and makes me feel so good!

[@at_Wild]

The fact the chords have notes that both ascend and deacend *at the same time* is amazing.

[@jl2937]

Takes me somewhere

[@spiritxfly]

So simple yet so beautiful! These are the kind of songs that are missing nowadays. Composition from only 5 chords. Only a verse and a chorus. But I still can't stop listening to it!! AWESOME JOB!

[@davidupperton6906]

How catchy is this ? Beautiful

[@laurieagusta1152]

I am listening

[@raphael18116]

I just remember this time when I was 6 years old and I heard this song again and again and again. Now I'm 16 years old. After about 7 years I listen to this song for the first time. It really made me cry when the chorus started, just because of these memories.

[@ghastmaskzombie]

This song sounds magical. I mean it actually sounds like it's filled with magic. This is only the second song that's ever given me that feeling.

[@barryflynn3025]

What was the first?

[@ghastmaskzombie]

@@barryflynn3025 honestly couldn't tell you. there've been a lot more since then.

[@amancalledlum]

Why why why have I not heard this song before today? I can only "discover" songs at least 6 years following their release.

[@MrAtruesdale]

how has this song not been more popular. I'm fine with indulging on the beautiful music, but it is almost a shame to not show people how to open their eyes to the good tunes.

[@graciepelsue1591]

Oh man I remember this in concert back in '07, I get chills thinking about it, fantastic show

[@jeffwilcox8784]

Did anyone else witness this song at Soldier Field in 2016 with U2? They cranked up the volume on this song like I've never heard before and most everyone missed it because they were buying beer or pissing. Best sound I've ever heard at any concert, and I've been to 100's of shows!

[@lisameade8554]

I almost forgot how beautiful this song is 🥰

[@a007z1908]

Got that listened at my local supermarket and I figured out some lyrics cuz I was dying to know it's creator and listen it couple of thousands times again, with songs like these u get to love life more and more

[@MCcreedLP]

Listening to this song while you driving home at night on the highway seeing the city at the horizon while the full moon is shining on you

[@LEEDIEDZJEE]

Right but don’t shut your eyes then😃😉

[@MCcreedLP]

Haha, right :D ​@@LEEDIEDZJEE

[@primaloracle2764]

This song is both hauntingly calming and upbeat melancholy, Ah the unique temperament of the Irish.....

[@cheetah5063]

Shut your eyes and Run are my favorites❤

[@richardfiennes3616]

I'm a young teenager once more, putting this favourite song on repeat, repeat, repeat! Love the bass line when it comes in. Been a big favourite for ages. Found the album cd again and enjoying it in the car once again! Oh, forgot to add there is not a bum note to the song either!😎

[@1Rayson]

that "Build-up" part was so amazing! a one time thing.

[@trutkaboy]

This song is pure perfection.

[@priscilla7043]

I just discovered this lovely band while watching Waterloo Road on Tubi

[@barryjenkins3260]

I used to listen to this song when I was deep into my addiction... I never want to repeat that point in my life but I love this song

[@fhuayna]

I wish all best for you.. it is not easy go get out from an addiction.. I love this song too.

[@kylefares5370]

great song to push off too .. still have a playlist specifically for the nod...

[@urszzz]

Good for you Barry wishing you a good sober liferegards from the NL

[@c.evans1804]

@CMG I'm so sorry, I thought you were trolling. Even so it was a really uncalled for response so I removed the comment. I'm sure your a great person, and I hope you have a good rest of the week.

[@cedeniro]

This song makes me so happy I love it!

[@jmmacb03]

I am finally going to see them at the age of 61 here in Toronto!! EEK! You won't find a band with better lyrics-full of wisdom from the school of hard knocks. Brilliant. Counting the days until May 3rd. Until then nothing but Snow Patrol on my playlist. ♥

[@franko9135]

Best Snow Patrol song they've ever done!

[@gloriacole4241]

Love this tune vocal music perfect performance sounds amazing smooth beats sound so flows nice lyrics music 🥰💯💎🎥💎🎥💎💯🔊🔊🎥💟🎥🎥🎵🎵🎵

[@OpinionOverload]

Gotta love the influence of American folk/blues combined with the precision poetry of the British Isles.. from the Beatles to Floyd, Ozzie to Motorhead, Brit rock is a force to be heard again and again and again and again. Snow Patrol adds a spice of surreal, new romantic that is sooooo good with my sweetie and me on the couch, lights off... eyes closed...

[@Koot-gh8ts]

This song brings me into a better, harmoniius world. Everytime again...

[@bornwithbsguards]

This is my favorite ripping down the interstate on a road trip song! This whole CD! Much underrated...is an understatement!

[@AmalfiAracena]

One of the best song I've heard lately
