Love this song. Leona kind of murdered it for me though. :(

A stunning song, snow patrol's finest song the lyrics take you on a journey and there's simply no way of describing how good the finale is.

There are no words to describe the acoustic version of this sung on the Reworked tour. The most amazing, beautiful, inspiring (and tear inducing!) song ever

This song lit up my soul and kept my heart centre open at a time when all I wanted to do was shut down. How powerful a gift is that? Thank you Snow Patrol, for your talent and humble attitude xx

Simply stunning. Nothing can touch Snow Patrol's masterpiece, but Leona's cover brought it back to the forefront and proves it's a true SONG of the decade. Gary Lightbody is the songwriter of the decade.

First heard this on a TV programme and hunted down the album. Agree that Leona should have left well alone. It is so delicately balanced, her diva style just trashes it.
