Chocolate is the first Snow Patrol song I listened to, its in the soundtrack of the 2006 movie Last Kiss and I got hooked. I felt like I was on a road trip and the window of the SUV was open and I could feel the wind and the rain on my face. Its music to listen to on the beach as the sun is setting, its music to while away a rainy day, its music to dance to alone on the edge of tomorrow.Listen and forget the world. I tuned in to chill out music for years and this band's music has that same blissful quality.Chasing Cars from their 2006 album Eyes Open was an insert song for the second season of Grey's Anatomy, Run,Chasing Cars and Signal Fire are in the ost of Spiderman 3. The group is releasing its new album A Hundred Million Suns on October 2008. I bring you five of my favorite songs in this playlist. Download album here.
Enjoy and support the artistes by buying the CD.
