This is one of my favorite live performance videos on YouTube. I have been coming back and rewatching it over and over against since 2011.

Thousands of people singing in unison, orchestrated by one man with a guitar; the man who wrote the song. I cannot imagine the feeling when thousands of people are singing words that you originally sang. You know you've made it in life, you know you've captured the emotions, the imagination, the passion within those people. What I find even more incredible is that, words put to some chords can create such an emotion, such a communal affair... That those simple words can bring a tear to the most emotionless person. It's beautiful

Just doing my yearly visit to this legendary video

[iloveYuTube]

I was there . . . .

we camped in the red tent site, got drunk on 5 euro pints . walked for miles in muddy wellys and got soaked to the skin in the Irish summer rain, and like the 80 thousand other people, we sung our hearts out to this .
the emotion on Garys face and the reaction of everyone in the crowd is something i will never forget .

I get goosebumps now just watching it .

The feeling you must get when 1000s of people sing the lyrics to your song back at you must be unreal

Its 2022 and I am still coming here to replay this. over and over.

I remember collecting my daughter who went to oxygen. A day I will never forget. She got off the bus, filthy dirty and shattered. Her first time away from home with friends. I actually wasn't going to allow her to go as she was only 17. Looking at this, I'm glad I did. She had an amazing time.

This was the first song I learnt to play on guitar and sing as a 9 year old. I remember my teacher showing me it at school. I came home that night and my dad asked me what I’d done in my guitar lesson. I told him that I had learnt to play and sing “Run” by Snowpatrol. And he was immediately so excited to hear me play it. I asked why. He told me it was his favourite song ever, and it was the first and last song he saw me play. He passed away a year later. And I played the song at his funeral. That was 7 years ago. Now it’s our song. Gary Lightbody- you gave us this song. The song my Dad was sent home to. Thank you. 🙏🏻

That look of pure joy on his face when the crowd sings it back to him gives me goosebumps every time!

Who’s listening to this during lockdown? Hope we can enjoy moments like this again and won’t take it for granted ❤️

Snow Patrol deserves much more success! Underrated band.

If anyone ever asks why I obsess over music so much I wanna show them this video. This gives me goosebumps throughout the whole thing. Music just bring people together and I love it.
