I lost my only child Michael in January 2019 and this is a masterpiece it says everything l want to say to him

I can actually feel my heart melt when I truly listen to this song..

Great song. Shows there is a light at the end of a tunnel. Love from Dublin, Ireland.

I've been listening to love ballads since the 70's and of course "80's" and this one holds its own with the best of them. Amen for creating such a soul caressing song!

One of those songs that gets stuck in your head and heart. X

Back whem music was still music, it died shortly after :(

RIP Robert, this song was played at his funeral just the perfect song for him thank you so much for this song it meant so much to my family x x x x

This song means so much to people in so many different ways 🔊🙌🏻

This was out around the time my Gran died in 2004, and it always reminds me of her. It makes me cry! It's such a beautiful song too!!

Incredible song. Just discovering it. Amazing Snow Patrol!!! x

I mean, this song is everything...🖤

I'll sing it one last time for you Then we really have to go You've been the only thing that's right In all I've done. And I can barely look at you But every single time I do I know we'll make it anywhere Away from here Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear Louder, louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say To think I might not see those eyes It makes it so hard not to cry And as we say our long goodbyes I nearly do. Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear Louder, louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say Slower, slower We don't have time for that All I want is to find an easier way To get out of our little heads Have heart my dear We're bound to be afraid Even if it's just for a few days Making up for all this mess. Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear

Driving to New Hope. Feeling completely beautiful, immortal and free. The night sky twinkling through the canopy of thick leaves. Windows down the air smells crisp and clean as it passes through long locks. Driving, the sounds of the summer night blasts foward faster and louder. I have an indie station on. This song plays. I fall in love with life not thinking it could get anymore beautiful until I hear this. The future is bright and my soulmate waits and all good things are ahead. I press the pedal just a bit faster.

This makes me think of my bamp and my bearded dragon. I miss you both loads, rip😔x

finally i found this song!

Make me cry every time :'(

I so love this song so much one of my many many favourites!

it's for oldies like me who heard it on TV soundtracks and could only make out the phrase 'light up, light up' as an identifier to find the whole track on You Tube! Thank goodness someone did post it this way :-) or I would never have found it!

This song is so beautiful.

The song meaning according to composer/writer Mr. Lightbody, is directly quoted as follows: ''It's really about family. It's wanting to protect them from all the people in the world that want to destroy. It's about running away and keeping them safe not about fighting which perpetuates the violent cycle. It's a hopeful song.'' He goes on to say, "Its about wanting to protect them (family) from all the bad things in the world. It’s an apocalyptic song. Can we go somewhere safe when everything goes mad? The opening line, ‘I’ll sing it one more time for you’, is about singing my kid to sleep. I don’t have a kid, but I hope I do one day”. Reality is one own perception, therefore the song is open to your own interpretation.

This song always makes me think of my dad RIP Love you always

I love this song 😁

so this is the song that participated in my tear making when Bonnies grandma died and Damon lost Katherine😭😳😢😣😭

Love to you all I hope your memories give you peace in your hearts.

totally breathtaking!! so grateful that u understand the beauty of this song!!!

This song has been running through my head for the past three days for no reason at all. I quite like it.

'Rescue Me' S02E10...awesome song to an end of an awesome episode. TV shows and Music just arent the same now.

To think Snow Patrol used to be my favourite band and now I never listen to them! God I miss them so much, need to start listening again!

This song helps me through January 14. I love you(:

I lost my grandson, and this song says it all😢🥹

This is the original and totally unbeatable - LOVE IT!! :p Beautiful song..

Mad dogs finale. Definition of Epic

ive loved this song forever!

I watch the show SMASH sometimes but I had forgotten this song and that show made me remember it! :)

Best song from Snow Patrol. EVER. Thanks.. :)

Intense ending to Mad Dogs! Loved the stare Quinn gave down the camera as he washed off his war paint. This song playing in the background was inspired.

i love this song more than everyone else does

One of favourite songs..love it..

They played this song at my college leaving party in the background with loads of pictures of friends in college. I am a guy but I have no shame in admitting I nearly cried.

I am a fan. I just recently saw the TV SHOW SMASH. And fell in love with the song Katharine Mcphee sang with them- LIGHT UP. Fantastic.

Simply Powerful

Awsome song, thanks for uploading.

i really love this song!

This song is so uplifting beautiful 🇬🇧Joy

i love this song

Best song they've ever done.

This song remind me so much on nana 😢💙rip hope your proud of me thinking of you Always can't Waite till we meet again

Mad Dogs is 1 of the greatest short series ive ever watched, fact! I don't want Quinn to die :( he's such an amazing character

found this version of the song on `resuce me` .... best tv series ever ....

Love this version best

no matter how many times //////it hits me the same way

First time I heard this was in The Guardian

words to live by xxx

It's kinda perfect for the situation that you will be in one day! Definitely a unique song very emotional remind me of the end Jim Morrison beautiful but real

finally found the song heard it on the voice fell in love

Amazing song!

always loved this song. brilliantly used at the end of a brilliant and underated move. love + hate on bbciplayer at moment. one of most realistic films ive seen

i looooovveeee this song!!! so emotional! gahh

love it!!

the guitar part was so strong... it makes me want to cry

Beautiful song, I read how the song came about (sad). It always means something different to each of us that's the Beauty of Music. To me it is my sisters & me as little girls trying to RUN from our childhood some of us able to SCREAM & some us unable to speak for ourselves so we found ourselves separated on more than one occasion. (Even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear). The only thing I've done right in life I felt back then was to fight to protect them.

Love this song

Perfectly describes difficult times!

Boy this is a much better version. Superb

ahhhh obsession!!!

Goosebumps and feels ❤

RIP to my cousin everytime that i listen to this song i will always think of u xxx

i cry every time

música maravilhosa.

I'm crying,this song reminds me of My Sister's Keeper :(

Thank you, inspirational.

I love this song. Took me a while to find it. Thanks again for posting it this way. wouldn't have found it any other way. I even tried googleing the lyrics, came up with nothing. Thanks man.

Ooh... a Snow Patrol song I like!

makes sad, but still so beautiful..

I'm not a fan of snow patrol that much, but this song is what I call 'modern excellence'

9 PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO LIGHT UP!!!

I loved their concert here in ROCK IN RIO LISBOA (Portugal) ;)

@TMcLure and then when he sees the guy in the black suit walking up the path. EPIC

Lovely song.

Absolute anthem

Heard this song at the end of an episode of Rescue Me. Had to find it. great song!

outstanding!

i realized i recognized this song when i was watching tvd S1 EP 14 when Bonnie's grandmother passed away .. although a female was singing it i found myself singing along so i came back to find it c:

Amen to that, i thought i was the only one.

So sorry Charlie for ur loss of ur son. I'm having this played at my funeral too, it's so poignant but says it all. Stay safe 🌹

You are a wonderful person...and I adore you!

I first heard a short version of this song on the new show "Smash", but I really do love Snow Patrol's extended version. Thanks for posting :D

*sobbing*

I found this on an old tv show, life as we know it :D
