If you are listening this in 2024 then man you really have a great taste in music!!!! Welcome to elite music club 🫶🏻

My wife and I use to sing this when she had cancer. She died from that disease but I have this of many memories. Thanks

The innocence of this song, in terms of simplicity and lyrics makes this one of the best songs of the last 20 years.

one of the most beautiful songs ever written it will remain a classic forever

His voice is so beautiful. No auto tune, no frills just raw , insane talent

This song is one of those songs which defines moments in one’s life.

My late daughter loved this song, she used it on her on her phone as a incoming call tune, she was 38 when she died, taken from us to soon, I play chasing cars often to remind me of her, 😥

My wife's work colleague had this played at his funeral after dying of cancer. We found out in November 2022 that she had cancer. It's aggressive but we're still here. This song makes me cry every time I hear it.

A perfect example of Less is more. So many musicians starting out think because they can't play like Gilmour or sing like Adele then they have no chance. Jesus Just be yourself

I lost the love of my life ... knew it was coming and I would play this over/over/over with her...enjoying every moment...the song fit...and now she is gone and I remember the joy we shared while she was with me, just being alive...we knew those were precious moments and now all i have are memories. But this is a beautiful song from the heart.

holy chills, when this song came out I was so young and my parents got divorced. this was one of her go to songs to play in the car and it became one of my favorites as a kid. I tend to avoid it now that Im older because the emotion in it is so intense

My mom had breast cancer and I lost her last year. I used to listen to this song a lot. Listening to it over and over until I fall asleep and forget about everything. Cancer sucks. Go hug your mom while you still have her.

This song was and still is a masterpiece. Made for eternity.

“Need your grace to remind me to find my own” ... what a song ! Never gets old

This was my anthem through chemo, i will love it always, im lucky, i i listen to it, 16 years on.

I´m about to drive to my female best friend of almost six years to play this song for her. The last two weeks we came each other very close and last night, we cuddled until we kissed. She is very confused about all that and does not know what to think or feel. I´m just plain in love with her. I was in love with her at the beginning of our friendship, and she didn´t return the feelings. But we got through it. And now, here we are. Something special in both heads. Guys, I just want you to know I love this women more than anything else I have. When i´m with her, I see us settle down, get one or two kids and just be at each others side until the end. I´m sure. I love her. I will give my best and play this song to her. Thank you for this wonderful live. I love you all and wish you just the best in your lives. Wish me everything good you can. Please. Thank you. Bye.

Anyone listening in 2020? Classic real good music.

A beautiful song. It connects so deeply with anyone that spends time with it. An amazing piece of art.

This really has to be one of the best songs written ever

He's got the voice of an Angel

One of the best songs written. By one of the best producers. Hats off. For ever. Thankyou

His voice is unreal 😮

Love this song as it takes me back to spending the last 12 hrs in my mother's presence before she passed . When I hear it I feel her here . Love you mum

The chords for the whole song if you wasn't picking would be: A, E, D, A (same order for all of the song) If you was picking: 7th fret D + 9th fret G (pick D, G, D, G etc) 6th fret D + 9th fret G (pick D, G, D, G etc) Open D + 9th fret G (pick D, G, D, G etc) The chorus is A, E, D, A

his voice is soooo, beyond words to describe. I love this version, just his astonishing voice and simple guitar. God bless you Gary

This is my song to my children when I'm gone I love the words !! Awesome in so much pain now

To anyone here grieving, broken and bleeding inside; The tears on your face might feel like razors right now, I know you have loved and you have lost. But tell me what you feel in your chest, are your lungs filling with air? Is your heart still beating? Now is the time to rise and make the most of whats left, forget the pieces on the floor and leave them there. I love you and you CAN do this ❤️ now is a new chance to find yourself like never before. Breathe friend, pain is temporary and no match for you 🥰

I love these solo unplugged versions. Only the guitar and his voice. The pure essence of this song. Wonderful performed.

jemand der wirklich singen kann! und ich lege meine tränen dazu...

i could listen to his voice all day long, singing or just talking.

It’s incredible how a song is born. Two notes give birth; two more complete the song. To be sure, the lyrics are tantamount, and then it helps if your delivery works. And damn, this guy can sing, and that always helps. This is one of the best love songs ever.

Makes my heart explode … such a great tune

Dedicated to the love of my life, whom I unfortunately won't be able to spend that life with. But will always have a spot in my heart wherever I go

still a masterpiece after 10 years 🙂

This brought a tear to my eye. It’s simple yet deep. The song captures deep emotional content that many of us think and feel. Listening to this artist play this song by himself was amazing. I’ve heard the song on the radio many times. However this version really made it came alive for me. I do not even have the right words to describe how great this sounded. I would love to see this guy live.

The human voice and the acoustic guitar are the most amazing instruments we can hear! Quite frankly....stunning. Thanks for sharing!!

Something about this song evokes such emotion. It may be my all time favorite.

I need your grace....to remind me...to find my own.

It is simple guitar but sit there and play it naked like this and you’re exposed if you put one little finger wrong! This is one of those songs that come along now and again and strike you to the core…. It’s rare these days but I have faith we might get something so raw and beautiful that snaps us back to music like this! Just think of music when it makes your hairs stand up on your arms! This was one of those songs for me ❤

God bless al those are listening this song at Dec 2019! Love u all!

Masterpiece. Period.

Music heals in a very subtle and beautiful way.😍😍

This Gary, this must be one of the most beautifulest songs ever ever written period !

I picked up the guitar 6 years ago and I play it every day even if its just for a few minutes while watching TV. Now I have 4 of them and I'm addicted LOL.

It's a gift to be able to write such a good song with such simple notes.

" I need your grace to remind me to find my own" magical!

Definitely one of the best songs ever written imo for sure. Its so simple but conveys so much.

Still here.2024.Cheers.

It just occurred to me that this song could have been written from a dog's point of view.

In four and a half minutes this man takes the listener into another world...if you are at work, bored out of your skull, fed up to the teeth with some job you hate doing...take a toilet break, some headphones, this version of this song, lock yourself in that toilet, maybe even cry a few tears which will help with stress.....and see and hear what the world should be like.................return to your seat in that crappy job...and SMILE inside. This is the PERFECT escape song...and SIMPLE.....................why does life have to be so complicated??

Still touches my heart today and makes me feel incredibly vulnerable... I love your Spirit Gary -- Thanks! #SnowPatrol

This Gary Lightbody Song Chasing Cars Is Gary's Most Innocent Track Covers. Thank You For Your Sharing Your Music. Timeless Lyrics 👍

Amazing talent, awesome song!!!!

I sang this beautiful song to my new born baby.. As a first time mother I was engulfed by love, fear, and the feeling that nothing existed but my daughter. These lyrics touched on feelings of vulnerability, confusion, and completely being in the here and now.

WOW ! Simple, raw, moving, and deep. See how so little can do oh so much?

Am glad that he liked these notes and never give up chasing cars is one of the best song in the world

He just painted a masterpiece with two brush strokes that made other artists' work look like paint by numbers.

what a voice it's simply clear and so ok attractive to the ears. lyrics uncontestable.😍😍😍

Big fan of acoustic. My wife and I have had some problems recently and this song has really hit home with us. It says everything about how we feel about each other regardless of how life has separated us. I love you baby.

Wow.... just wow, that was amazing!! ❤️

Gary, this song cannot be diminished by anything you (or anyone) may say or how many times it's said, this song captures (in a most pure way) something so special. Thank You

This is by far Gary's most beautiful song. He has throughout the years made some incredible music. Nobody can touch the lyrical talent of this man. If all you've listened to is Snow Patrol please branch out and listen to some of his other musical projects like The Reindeer Section and Tired Pony. He doesn't disappoint in anything he does!

Wow 2006 was so long ago, it kills me inside how fast time is flying! Great tune!

I just loved it when the singers we used to listen to just take a guitar and 3 chords and make a live music video that looks this dope. Respect 🖖

Brilliant thanks for this beautiful song😊

This song is my all time favorite!!! It helped me through an extremely unexpected break up and gives me hope. Thank you Snow Patrol. Thank you Gary Lightbody.♥️♥️

Every time I hear the song I can't understand how such a simple song, with only 3 chords can be so beautiful

I can’t listen to this without crying. All the tough things I have been through, war, death of young men and constant physical pain in my body from years of doing what I thought was right...... I know that deep inside I am that 10 yr old boy whose still afraid of the dark without the woman I said “I do” . 😕

What a sincere song... not enough words to describe

One of the few songs that would really bring tears into your eyes..especially when you sing or listen to it alone in your dim lighted room 💡🎶🕯💕🔦🎸

Amazing, just amazing. Gary Lightbody is so brilliant. Must see the group - Snow Patrol from NI. . I need to see and understand the full lyrics. I want Tom to play this at my funeral on acoustic. We need a singer. x

The filming is like it's from the 1970s!

Incredible writing of a song! 👍👍

Just have to say, ... 'No words'! - Just lost a GREAT elderly friend. She lost her beloved husband, best friend a few years ago & has missed him so. She fought cancer & had won the battle, however, recent health complications. She recently passed & this song was played on piano for her at her funeral by her youngest daughter... ONE LAST TIME🙏😇 She would play it for her all the time💕 What a timeless song🙏

Omg. I actually cried. This song is perfect in my eyes.

Goosebumps. Always liked this song but this performance was perfection. Glad the radio version is pretty much the same. Radio version just isn't THIS version. 😊

You are so handsome, lovable and I love your song I like the way you sing the song very clear lyrics as if you are telling a story so clear, so full of meaning.

Every so often, a song will be written that will stay with us forever. For me, this song still makes me feel the same as it did when i first heard it.

I drove my daughters to london, hours and hours to get to the front. We stood there in floods of tears singing along to this. It means so much to so many people, as all great songs always have and always will.

Wow man! So damn good...just plucking two strings and sounding so soulful....this is music now. Feels like myself singing it.

Wow... this video reminds me of the first time I heard the song. Like many, it was a much simpler time for me, and I wish I could go back.

So powerful. With just a guitar and his voice. Wow. Such a great song. 100 years from now someone will be listening to this song and feeling the same emotions we do right now. Great songs last forever.

2024 and its still THE most requested song on almost every radio show.

This is a beautiful song and I just stopped for gas in my SUV. I never gave the song a chance when I heard it on the radio I lost my mom to cancer she had lupus as well now here we are history repeating itself now I'm 36 and I have cancer. I love my beautiful wife Tamela I love my two beautiful children Ethan and Makayla. These are the kind of songsthat make your life so meaningful and Rich no matter how long you have or have short it's going to be I've come a long way in my life from being a songwriter for various musicians such as Jason Mraz and a few other artists that are Christian artists.that was one of my favorite songs that he is overdone simplicity and beautiful lyrics and that's all it is romanticizing just lying there and enjoying each other in the time that God has given us. This in my opinion is his big fish do you understand what I'm saying?

Fantastic, its funny when you know a song so well. Well you think you do. Then listening it to it like this, you appreciate it more and absorb the lyrics and hear them for the first time..

This voice, this song, would never, never go down. Amazing performance, 15years i am feeling the same émotion listening it. Thank you. 😘

Damn this used to be our song man Tough listening to this now

Brilliant, just bloody brilliant. I am now dusting off my Snow Patrol cd's :) Why did I forget them for so long?

This song can have many different meanings and points of views. When I was younger, I thought of it in the point of view of a child watching cars drive by or of dogs chasing after cars. Than when I was a little bit older, I thought about it being about a relationship/crush or death/birth even. Love it no matter what.😗😗

Gary is simply an amazing artist, he’s beyond good ❤

Best version of the best song ever written. Pure class

In my opinion one of the best song ever written

Amazing, amazing. So simple, so sweet and though dramatic .

That's our boy's song it's been 15 "years now miss him so much would love to meet you that's his band xx

Great live entertainer of all time.One of my favourite bands!

My wife was diagnosed with heart failure and made it. We lived this as a connection song. She planted a garden of trees when she was well. My severely alcoholic son nearly died and we would lie in be and cry to each other to bed to this when he was so yellow. Then the next year I was diagnosed with stage four cancer and it As a visual provided hope for me. Every time I hear it it makes me a mess, but he spoke to me heart so often.

Exactly a week ago, I lost my dog Cutler. He was this beautiful, beautiful amstaff. One of the big loves of my life. We we're battling a cancer, something that was hurting his lungs so bad. I did all I could. We did. Had to make a donation campaign, you know... To pay all the bills through three different hospitals. It worked like magic! I never had so much people sending donations, sending love and hope. Sharing my letter asking for help. It was a beautiful touching moment. Sadly, even with the best meds I could get, it was his time. He almost died in my arms. We used to walk everyday, in the visit time, on the backyard of the hospital. He was always happy, and the walkings were just good. After the walk, me and Cutler would go back to the resting room (with all other dogs) and lay down on the floor. I'd give him a nice hug, sometimes I prayed with him in my arms, sometimes I just say "hey son, don't worry, you'll be good! This people are taking good care and making sure you'll heal!". Last thursday he got a attack in the walk. Had to take him in my arms and run back to the meds. They took him into oxygen. It was alright again. Than, another attack... Oxygen. Okay for now. Had to leave him, visitation time is up. While I was in the bus back home, got the call. Went home crying all the way. In the bus, at the street, at home. Than sometime this song rose up to me. The lyrics fits like magic. And somehow, it numbs the pain, the poetry donates a bit of hope and sense to my heart, you know? And that's why I thank Snow Patrol for. That's what art is all about.

We'll do it all Everything On our own We don't need Anything Or anyone If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? I don't quite know How to say How I feel Those three words Are said too much They're not enough If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads I need your grace To remind me To find my own If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life All that I am All that I ever was Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see I don't know where Confused about how as well Just know that these things will never change for us at all If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I won't get tired just to listen this song😍😍. This is such an adorable song that is worth to listen 👏👏
