I have a mild obsession happening with how well written a song Snow Patrol's "Run" really is. I love that it started when he was blind drunk, fell down a flight of stairs, and then what came out was "Run".
That the song becomes about yourself, in addition to your loved ones, it just layers on the grace and redemption required to love yourself. And to love anyone else.
Stick that with what is a pretty simple guitar arrangement, and you wind up with this simple but devastatingly effective song. If I sing it twice in a row it's hard not to get choked up.
That's music right there. It conjures the raw, perfect feeling. Like a direct line to my brain and emotions. Just a glorious song.
