Snow Patrol

Op 27 augustus stijgt Snow Patrol van 11 naar 10 met Called Out In The Dark. Het is hun zesde hit in Nederland. De track is afkomstig van het zesde studioalbum Fallen Empires dat op 4 september 2011 uitkomt. De video werd in de omgeving van Los Angeles opgenomen.

De roots van Snow Patrol gaan terug tot 1994. Anno 2011 (vanaf 2005 ongewijzigd) bestaat de groep uit zanger Gary Lightbody, basgitarist Paul Wilson, drummer Jonny Quinn, gitarist Nathan Connolly en toetsenist Tom Simpson. In 2006 bereikte Chasing Cars #24. In 2009 stond Just Say Yes drie weken op 1. De rerelease van Run haalde daarop #22 nadat die in 2004 de tipparade niet eens had gehaald. Vijf songs staan in de Radio 2 Top 2000: Chasing Cars op 90, Just Say Yes op 258, Run op 327, Shut Your Eyes op 460 en Crack The Shutters op 1098 in 2010.

Snow Patrol - Called Out In The Dark
It's like we just can't help ourselves
'Cause we don't know how to back down
We were called out to the streets
We were called in to the towns
And how the heavens, they opened up
Like arms of dazzling gold
With our rain washed histories
Well they do not need to be told
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye trained on a different star
This magic
This drunken semaphore
And I
We are listening
And we're not blind
This is your life
This is your time
We are listening
And we're not blind
This is your life
This is your time
I was called out in the dark
By a choir of beautiful cheats
And as the kids took back the parks
You and I were left with the streets
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye trained on a different star
This magic
This drunken semaphore
And I
We are listening
And we're not blind
This is your life
This is your time
(repeats 5x)
