[edit] "Run" in The Guardian and Jericho

Run has been played rather extensively in the main trailers for The Guardian (2006 film), plus some of the TV spots. This is probably worth a mention.

Also, I think it was played at the end of the series premiere of Jericho (TV Series), but I'm not positive. Can someone verify that? Kendall 16:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grey's Anatomy and "Somewhere a Clock is Ticking"

""Chasing Cars" pushed its way onto the download and pop charts after it was heard in the second season finale of the television show Grey's Anatomy on May 15, 2006. Due to the song's surprise popularity, it was released as an overlapping single in early June and the video was re-recorded to include clips from the show."

The song on the May 15 2006 episode of Grey's Anatomy was "Somewhere a Clock is Ticking", not Chasing Cars. However, I have not seen the video for either of the songs, can someone help verify this?


Both songs were featured in the Season Finale, which was actually a combo of three episodes. "Somewhere a Clock is Ticking" was playing in the last few minutes of the first episode of the Finale. "Chasing Cars" was featured in the last few minutes of the third episode.

[edit] "Run" and Doctor Who

Probably too trivial to go in an encyclopedia article, but Run was played over the end credits of the final episode of Doctor Who Confidential a few days ago, accompanying a montage of scenes from the new series. Loganberry (Talk) 03:41, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I'd say it's significant...that episode of Doctor Who Confidential made me become aware of Snow Patrol, I now have their albums and have their songs downloaded onto my PSP, and Run is now currenlty my favourite song...ever! Just to let you know :) (Jamandell (d69) 00:32, 14 January 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Sufjan Stevens

In the Lyrics to Hands Open on the LP Eyes Open, the lyrics make a reference to Sufjan Stevens, American Singer/Songwriter.

I came here to reference this point also. Adding to trivia, let me know if this is a problem.Nikevs 13:45, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative?

Is there any point putting both Indie and Alternative? Indie is after all a subgenre of alternative, so surely the latter is redundant? 195.195.166.41 19:34, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually - they should just be put just under alternative...If they are signed to Polydor records how could they be indie rock? Also, the sentence 'Snow Patrol is an indie rock band signed to Polydor records' is a total contradiction...People don't even understand what 'indie rock' means. I'm removing it because its false. - jmccoymoniz@comcast.net

They're self-defined as "alternative". - Tony.

[edit] TOTP

"The band was the final ever act to perform on long-running BBC music show Top of the Pops with "Chasing Cars" on the show's penultimate edition." Penultimate means the second to last. So either they weren't the final act to perform, or they performed on the final edition. Willnz0 04:22, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

The last episode of Top of the Pops did not have any live performances, and was just a clip show. Therefore the last live performance in the penultimate ep, was the last ever live performance (and incidentally I can't believe I missed it!) Jamandell (d69) 22:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Snow Patrol from Scotland, I think someone needs to correct that as they aint Scottish, they are from here in Northern Ireland, honestly people always like to steal people and say that they belong somewhere where they are not from like CS Lewis. People still think he's English for example. Not Northern Irish !

[edit] Snow Patrol exposure

Some people have noted the exposure Snow Patrol have got in films and TV shows, and I'm aware of a couple that haven't as yet been mentioned. In the hopes that it may turn out to be useful for the article, or just for trivia hunters, I'm compiling a list here.

  • Somewhere a Clock is Ticking
    • Second season finale of Grey's Anatomy on May 15, 2006. Video re-recorded to include clips from the show (in the USA?).
  • Chasing Cars
    • Featured in the last few minutes of the third episode of Grey's Anatomy.
    • One or possibly two Snow Patrol songs have been featured in the series.
    • At least one SP song has been featured in this series.

[edit] Flag

I removed the flag from this article as I don't think it was adding anything. See also WP:FLAG. --Guinnog 18:32, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dispute Regarding Origin (Scotland vs. N.Ireland)

Being from Scotland and Northern Ireland — None of present nor past members of snow patrol are from Scotland they are all from Northern Ireland this annoys me so much when NI produces talented & people like to nick the people and claim they are from elsewhere like for example CS lewis from Belfast and Born there people think hes from England when in Fact he was Northern Irish ....Snow patrol being based in Scotland does not make them Scottish !!!! they are Northern Irish !!! -- attributed to 81.129.19.47, unsigned (19:03, 7 March 2007)

- Firstly, calm down. The origin listed as Dundee, Scotland is correct because that is where the band, as a musical entity, was first established. The fact that Lightbody and Quinn are from Belfast has no bearing on the stated origin of the band. I point you towards the group Garbage — even though lead singer Shirley Manson is Scottish, the band was formed in Madison, Wisconsin, and therefore, that city is stated as the origin of the band. Now, this isn't to say that Snow Patrol can't exist in a Northern Ireland project or category, but such facts as their origin must be stated as such. (It even states this on Snow Patrol's own official website). -- HawkeAnyone 19:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
HawkeAnyone is right. Infobox musical artist is clear that origin refers to the city in which the group was founded. --Paul Erik 02:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- The latest version by Stubacca reads fairly well, and should hopefully suffice. Well done. -- HawkeAnyone 13:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Side Projects & Collaborations

As I was looking over an addition made by Anon IP# 202.59.22.195, I noticed that the Side-Projects section deals with the side projects of Gary Lightbody, not the band. So, I removed the section from here and have grafted that information into Gary Lightbody's article. IP#'s addition wasn't vandalism, but doesn't quite belong here, persay. Side-projects and collaborations should only be noted/mentioned here if they involve a significant portion (greater than 2?) of or the whole band, or, the material is attributed to them as a group in the credits of that side-project/collaboration.

And yes, to reassure all you Irish people — the band members are from Northern Ireland. Yes yes yes. We've (Stubacca, actually) denoted that in the first line of the article. -- HawkeAnyone 06:53, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

i think i might have just added what you removed, feel free to just delete it if im treadin on toes 172.188.113.194 17:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

-You're not treading on toes. The information you added is already covered on Gary Lightbody's article. The contribution (of a song) can only be attributed to the band if the whole band, in name, does the contributing. It has to do with rights — Gary and Lisa (Hannigan) "own" that song, not Snow Patrol. If Paul Wilson (one of the band members of Snow Patrol) was to leave the band, he'd still retain rights (unless stipulated in contract, but that's another story) over all Snow Patrol songs, including any contributions/collaborations made by the band's name. Make sense?
 I think if we went around to all the band articles on here, we'd find numerous instances of mis-appropriation, especially in the "trivia" sections. For some reason, alot of folks get this wrong, and are way too eager to post every trivial little snip they can find. -- HawkeAnyone 19:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
