This song and the way Leona sings it is astonishingly and breathtakingly incredible...It touched me so deeply beyond words...We need more such music and talent continuously. I sing too and I tried harmonizing with my baritone voice and my soul was stirred with such passion. It takes much talent to not only feel the music but to also feel the words you are singing..and Leona does that!! Fastique!! God gives us talents for a reason...God bless you Leona and Snow Patrol for sharing your talents. When Leona comes on tour I'm soo there!!
I sang this song for a Talent Show in my school, and i Won (: The lyrics really got to me and i cried first time i heard it. Beautifully written, I love both versions : Coldplays and Leona's. Well done guys!! xx
Don't know what the song writers intended. But it certainly does it for my beloved wife and me. Her open-heart surgery was a huge shock. We packed her bag the night before. I sat with her for hour upon hour in intensive care after. She could hear me but it took her ages to come back. Back together now. But every note, every word and every inflexion of this version is so incredibly powerful for us ...
