Brilliant song! For some reason I always think of snow when listening to this. For them who think this is overplayed, just think of all them Kings of Leon songs.

It's the best song of the decade, it's a song that ,whatever genre of music you're into, can relate to and enjoy listening to.

My husband and made this 'our' song - he'd bought me a cd player for the bedroom and we pinched our daughters now album. We just lay on our bed and enjoyed listening to this song. So much so when he was taken ill with kidney cancer and died 6 months after being diagnosed i had it played at his funeral. It not only reminded me of him but that he was the original boy racer I knew chasing cars! escorts!!!!
