Snow Patrol: “I hope those notebooks are incinerated.”

I’d never heard of the band Snow Patrol— does this mean I’m hopelessly uncool and out of it? But anyway, their lead signer, Gary Lightbody, is a notebook user:

As for his own lyrics, he keeps notebooks full of them. “Bad, bad words. The day I die I hope those notebooks are incinerated. Some of them are just awful. Even some of the ones that ended up on the albums are awful.”

Another universal notebook issue, I think: you know they’re full of crap and you’d be embarrassed for anyone to read them, yet you can’t get rid of them!

  1. I like Snow Patrol. They did that song “Chasing Cars” a while back. How many years ago was that? Two? I’m so old…

    Anywho, I go back and read my old notebooks about once a year. I could NEVER destroy them, but my friend Jenni and I have a pact that if either of us were to die (god forbid), the other (barring the fact that we’re together) would destroy the deceased’s notebooks before ANYONE had a chance to read them.

  2. I’m way over 40 and I really like Snow Patrol. They are one of the few bands of the current scene that actually have a distinct sound – not the usual generic radio crap from those kids with floppy hair and eyeliner.

    Two songs especially: “Shut Your Eyes” and “Take Back the City”.

    Oh and I looked them up – they’ve been around since 1994. Wow.
