THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
14-Snow Patrol-Chasing Cars.
2006-Number 6 single.
Best Bit-At 2.26.The phrase ‘Chasing Cars’ came from Gary Lightbody’s father, in reference to a girl Lightbody was infatuated with, he said, ‘You’re like a dog chasing a car, you’ll never catch it, and you just wouldn’t know what to do with it if you did.’
The songs writer Gary Lightbody was born in Bangor, County Down, Northern Island in 1976. He formed his first band called ‘Shrug’ while studying English Literature at the University of Dundee in 1994. Over the next seven years he met the other musicians whom he would work with, using the name ‘Polarbear,’ and eventually ‘Snow Patrol.’
In the UK Snow Patrol have had thirteen top 40 singles, but in America this song remains their only hit. The big breakthrough came in the States when Chasing Cars was chosen as the music to be played during the second-season finale of the American medical drama ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ bringing them to the attention of a very large audience.
In 2009 the UK music licencing body ‘PPL’ announced that Chasing Cars was the most played song of the decade, and in 2019 they announced that it was now the most played track of the 21st Century.
‘Chasing Cars’ is a love song, it is about being emotionally very close to someone, and feeling that together you can achieve anything you want.
‘All that I am, all that I ever was, is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see.’
