I hate it when people say not as good as the original, but as a true Snow Patrol fan for many years I would have to say this is the better version. Alfie Boe is a true legend and has a wonderful voice.
Chris Stevens a song is open to a lot of interpretations. So, it’s usually moot to say who’s best or not. What one’s elixir may probably be a poison to others.
Thanks for sharing .I just love Alfie's singing and have got all his albums.P.S. I'm a grandmother in her seventies who has followed his career from the beginning! I just wish I could see him live but I don't live in UK or the USA.
I'll sing it one last time for you Then we really have to go You've been the only thing that's right In all I've done And I can barely look at you But every single time I do I know we'll make it anywhere Away from here Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear Louder, louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say To think I might not see those eyes Makes it so hard not to cry And as we say our long goodbyes I nearly do Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you, dear Louder, louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say? Slower, slower We don't have time for that All I want is to find an easier way To get out of our little heads Have heart, my dear We're bound to be afraid Even if it's just for a few days Making up for all this mess Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear
