Snow Patrol

This music video is a video by the artist of the song I am using for my music video, Snow Patrol. The genre of my chosen song is indie/ rock or alternative and the genre of this song is alternative rock, this means that both my song and this song are the same genre and I can relate it to my song and video ideas.

This music video is called Chasing cars. The following information I took from Wikipedia and is based on what the song is all about;
‘Lead singer Gary Lightbody wrote the song, sober after a binge of white wine, in the garden of producer Jacknife Lee's Kent cottage.[6] The song has Lightbody singing a plain melody over sparse guitars, which has an ever-building crescendo.[7]
He stated it was his "purest love song".[8] The phrase "Chasing Cars" came from Lightbody's father, in reference to a girl Lightbody was infatuated with, "You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did."[citation needed][9]
The song was first heard on the band's 2005 Final Straw Tour, when they began playing it, along with two other newly written songs ("Your Halo" and "It's Beginning to Get to Me") they had intended to release on their upcoming album. Since then, the composition of the song was changed slightly, and most of the lyrics were rewritten’
