I believe this is a great album.

Review. egh.

Snow Patrol gives their on resonance.

I think it's nice.

Open Eyes is probably one of the best and easy listening albums I think that I like to listen too.



Final Straw was amazing too.

Make This Go On Forever is the best song hands down, but the album as a whole is great. Too bad the vocals don't really vary, and while they hit the tender moments great, there are at least two songs where there should have been a change.

...and her new favorites become my new found guilty pleasures. oh well fuck my heart.

GoddamnBatman, are we dating the same girl?

It's possible. And I kid you not.

So this is what I think the album represents lyrically. I think it's a masterpiece.

You're All I Have - naivety. Note the line "There is a darkness deep in you, a frightening magic I cling to": it becomes important later.

Hands Open - haven't figured out where this fits.

Chasing Cars - a pure love song, but note 'forget the world'. It's the start of ignoring everything around them, and the world is addressed as a distraction.

Shut Your Eyes - a celebration of self-delusion, drifting away to a different place

It's Beginning To Get To Me - the breakdown, the part where it starts to become apparent that ignoring flaws means ignoring each other

You Could Be Happy - NOT a break-up song, just a separation song, and it's important because it's about not being able to see the other person when they're happy, and how hard that can be

Make This Go On Forever - narrator realises that there's something wrong. Key line: "Please just save me from this darkness."

Set The Fire To The Third Bar - the distance is metaphorical, not literal. They're miles apart.

Headlights On Dark Roads - probably the most blatant song on the album, it's about wanting to see the danger in front of you, and jumping into the unknown

Open Your Eyes - a plea to appreciate and embrace the dark side of things - the 'darkness deep in you' from the first song. "Walk from this dark room for the last time."

The Finish Line - "the skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear." it's all broken but they can start again.

In My Arms sucks and is a bonus track.

END OF ESSAY

set fire to the third bar is probably one of the greatest songs of all time.

I love this album so much. Make This Go On Forever is like the ultimate break up song.

Album Rating: 4.0

Whole album is fairly deep lyrically, interconnectiveness through the songs... LIKE AVATAR omg,

Cameron stole from pocahontas and Snow Patrol

Album Rating: 4.5

hahaha, the bastard.



I don't know why, but I used to think everything after Make This Go On Forever was post-breakup lyrically, but that's not the case at all really. Knott probably got it more right.
