Who is chasing cars by

Younger me was quite the downer because of people constantly beating down my ideas and my self esteem. For older me I have learned to grow myself despite the judgement of others. I can explain this shift in me through this song with a couple of examples of dual interpretation in the lyrics.

To older me this lyric is completely different because I have a boyfriend. In my life, I have searched and gained opportunities in science, academics, and service but never matters of the heart. The lyric to younger me interpreted it as those feelings of isolation, depression, and sadness would stay and haunt my life. However, to older me it represents no matter how confusing life gets and how frustrating everything may seem that love can be something that is constant and beautiful.

Lee, Jacknife. By Gary Lightbody. Chasing Cars. Snow Patrol. Jacknife Lee, Thanks Anne. Fell in love with this song when I heard it many years ago. Always happy when it pops up on a playlist or the radio…. Chasing Cars! Or any TV show — every one helps. Chasing Cars is simple: it is based around a two-note guitar riff, while the verses consist of three lines, each containing just three or four syllables.

It suits rock, pop and easy-listening stations, while the lyrics are so oblique that listeners can project their own meaning on them, for any situation. Be honest, can you picture any members of Snow Patrol? Any of them. It sold its millionth copy in the UK in October Lightbody also joined Ed for a live version in watch above.
