Snow Patrol

From the Source

With its pretty melody and lyrics laying bare a couple’s argument, ‘How To Be Dead’ is one of the band’s most delicate-sounding songs to date. On top of the CLA mix of the title track, this version includes ‘You Are My Joy’ recorded live At Somerset House.

Here’s how Gary Lightbody sums up the appeal of emotive Snow Patrol songs like ‘How To Be Dead’ - ‘I think (the fans) see quite human qualities in us. The lyrics are always about fragility of relationships and mental states so I guess they see that we are flawed in many ways and it’s easier to relate to that, I guess.’
