Snow Patrol - Life-ning Lyrics

Love it.

Still listening in 2019.

set speed at 1.25

Here come the waterworks 😭😭😭😭

My favorite snow patrol album. Beautiful,,,,!!!!!

Another great song from Gary

I used this beautiful song for my Dad's funeral. (For him, insert "Dallas Cowboys in the superbowl" instead of "Ireland in the world cup". :-) )

Do these guys have a bad album? Because I have yet to find one.

In an alternate universe it is entirely possible, yes.

And naming 1 favorite song from them is really IMPOSSIBLE.

@spellbiff spellbiff probably lifening itself but it was hard to pick one

spellbiff spellbiff talking to the trees maybe

Anyone picturing what the bittersweet version would sound like?

Words of reassurance but only if they're true

I really like the last verse about Gary being a dad in the future :) after all those "break-up" songs he has written you really wish him luck with finally finding the love of his life

did anybody heard that noise between 00:15- 00:20. is it part of the song or what?

I love this song... I wish there was a karaoke too...

Very, very nice.

Hey guys please check out my cover of this song, it would mean a lot. thanx

Link would be nice

They played it tonight on BBCs Comic Relief night. Broke my heart. Beautiful tune.

me too...

Just beautiful. <3

crac will do that to u

its wonderful getting old

I've been together with Jj ever since 1998. Sorry Jj, but Lifening is my new favorite song <3

Cried like a damn baby with this song.

wonderful in the open air,summer in dublin

love this song, it makes me cry! :)
:'( :)

It was amazing at TITP, They where the best Live act and im not even a big fan of them

you're probably right XD
I'd rather have sex then pet birds and bees. But I guess a beekeeper and a bird collecter might want birds and bees XD

haha probably sex

Ever since the concert in Byblos, Lebanon I can't stop listening to Snow Patrol's songs! It's sick! I LOVE IT.

Just got back from Beirut Lebanon's Snow Patrol concert. In a word: Triumphant. He normally dedicates this song to his father, but he dedicated this to the people of Lebanon. Great night.This is all i ever wanted from life, indeed. Cant wait for the next time i see this more than amazing band.

this sounds like a great idea of life:)

Does "the birds and yes the bees" actually mean birds and bees or does it mean sex?

Best act at T-in the park. didn't think they would have beat the big names but they defiantly did

Ah, this is such a calming song. :)

Titp brought me here !

My uncle gave me this CD and told me it was a must listen to. I got home and noticed the case was empty and he said he couldn't find it, so I gave up. A few months later I find this CD in my library, I borrowed it and ripped it and I've been listening to it for 3 days straight! AMAZING MUSIC!!!

Beautiful song ! one of my favorite from this band...

I almost cried when I heard them play this at the concert. It's so heartfelt.

I'm 16 and lost my 'Concert Virginity' earlier this year. I saw Snow Patrol in Sheffield, and it was amazing. But with actually loosing your virginity, you may have to splash some cash, so get yourself a ticket booked! ;)

he forgot to mention winning the lottery.....

Simple but an awesome song :)

me and my bf just broke up after 6 months and it was bad i hate him right now and he just been a jerk but im still sad and in 2 days it would have been 6 month since we started dating : (

7 years later do you care about that break up now

Heard this song for the first time last night at the Metropolis concert in Montreal. That show was SUCH a high. Best live show I've ever seen. These lyrics really rang true for me with the bass vibrating in my rib cage. This is all I ever wanted from life!

This song is magical due to its simpleness and its pure lyrics. It makes life seem so easy and happy. Thank you Snow Patrol!

Tut, tut! We aren't all empty headed, though I probably have too many children! Maybe you could researve judgment a little. Those people have hopes and dreams also. Life is in the details, ya know. Or maybe you don't.....yet.

Wonderful song with great lyrics!

This is such a beautiful song,thank you snowpatroladdict for posting this song.

heard this live, the entire O2 stadium singing along, starting crying because of the raw emotion. beautiful song <3

IRELAND IN THE WORLD CUP EITHER NORTH OR SOUTH...its jus a pitty we couldnt have one big team so we could actually get somewhere in the football, because we have an all ireland cricket team and rugby team?? why not football............?????????????????

@Hallucination Unfortunately we have had to wait- until today. Album just released in the U.S. (legally, anyway). Buying mine on itunes now.

I think it should be written as "The Fanclub on the jukebox" since it refers to Teenage Fanclub, a proper noun. But let's not split hairs here, enjoy the music...

@dylanhuck20 haha it took Ebay, 13 dollars, and 2 weeks but I got it

I have this cd in America. YAYAEAAAEAHHH

@TheJakeb93 This CD hasn't come out yet in America. Not until January.

'Ireland in the World Cup...' Ahaha brilliant!

A brilliant song in all it's simplicity..

We are all rushing from place to place in our hectic lives.
This puts me to reality, what is all I ever wanted from life?

this is the song he sang to his father. he always writes about his mom but never this way to his father. beautiful GARY just beautiful

They always have one song that really manages to get you. Can't stop crying. The simple thigns are what matter the most...

Great song goin to see them in January and cant wait :)
