YOU'RE ALL I HAVE ------ Snow Patrol
"You're All I Have" is the first single from Snow Patrol's fourth album, Eyes Open. It was released 24 April 2006. It became the band's second big hit after the success of "Run" in 2004, peaking at #7 on the UK singles chart. According to Gary Lightbody: "It’s near the beginning of a dangerously reliant relationship. The album is full of songs like this. Rather than a break up record this is a make up record. That is a massive generalization but it is a more positive record than the last". He has said that "the song is about a damaging but fulfilling relationship, something that terrifies you, but you can't quite bring yourself to look away".
There is a keening momentum and inevitably busted emotional power to Gary Lightbody that suggest all of our dreams are about to come true with the rhythm of this song...

THE HEINRICH MANEUVER ------ Interpol
"The Heinrich Maneuver" is a song by New York-based indie rock band Interpol's third album, Our Love to Admire. It is the first single from the album.
This song features the familiar spiky (mostly single note) guitar lines, insistent drumming, and fluid bass work one has become accustomed to hearing from these guys. Singer Paul Banks's lyrics and vocal melody are the most interesting elements here and this tune is thematically more direct than usual. Interpol's songs have tended to be brooding and ambiguous, but lines like "How are things on the West Coast?" and "Today my heart swings" almost certainly allude to a break up while coming across as uncharacteristically upbeat.
The video is defintely worth watching: it is a single take of the main character, a woman in a white dress, shown in extreme slow motion applying lipstick and walking towards her demise, being hit by a bus. This overlays three other characters whose reactions to the event unfold in a mixture of speed altered motion, initially proceeding forward and then reversing. A man taking out his cellphone, a vogue lady screaming, and a waiter running to the scene...

AN END HAS A START ------ Editors
"An End Has a Start" is the title track and second single from Editors' second album. The single was released September 3, 2007. The song was used by the American Movie Channel as the backtrack in a montage style commercial, giving the track considerable exposure that it otherwise would not have received.Editors are a British indie rock/post-punk revival band from Birmingham, England, composed of Tom Smith (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Chris Urbanowicz (guitar), Russ Leetch (bass) and Ed Lay (drums), who met while studying at Staffordshire University, in Stafford, England during 2003. They take their inspiration from bands such as Echo & The Bunnymen, R.E.M., Joy Division and Elbow
Gorgeous, melodic, emotional, great lyrics, a full sound, and tons of energy, today's song is one of their best.

BONES ------ Editors
"Bones" was the fifth and final single from An End Has a Start, the second album by Editors. It was only released in Continental Europe under the PIAS label as a download only single. It was released to help promote the band during the festival run and their support of R.E.M. in July during their German shows.
"Bones" was one of the first songs off An End Has A Start to be performed live, along with "The Weight Of The World" in 2006. It has since gone through many changes, most notably the bridge and outro of the song which was previewed via a short video made by the band months before the album came out.
The video includes on stage and behind the scenes footage shot during the European tour in March and April 2008. It was directed by the band's bassist Russell Leetch.
These are the comments from a few listeners:
"One of the best songs I've ever heard. This band does not get the credit or recognition they deserve."
"They have intelligence to make sounds that no one else can, maybe the songs are simple, but i bet no one can imaging something like that, this is my contemporary favourite band for sure! editors rulez."
"They are absolutely amazing...Music lyrics vocals they have everything..."
A truly awesome song. Really. Enjoy!

It was released 24 November 1997 as the third single from the album, charting at #7 in the UK Singles Chart (see 1997 in British music). The song was also the band's second, and so far last Top 20 hit in the USA.
U2 frontman Bono recognized "Lucky Man" as one of six songs that he wished he had written from the last 20 years of music...
The UK version of the video was directed by Andy Baybutt and sees the band in the Thames Wharf complex; this is situated near Hammersmith, West London in post code W6 9HA. Richard Ashcroft sings the song whilst playing an acoustic guitar; the rest of the band look on. The Thames Wharf Complex designed by Sir Richard Rogers. The US version was shot in New York, featuring the band in an apartment and then travelling to a mountain top.

CHASED BY... I DON´T KNOW WHAT ------ Snow Patrol
Chased by... I don´t Know What, is the ninth track from When It´s All Over We Still Have to Clear Up, the second album by the indie rock group Snow Patrol, released on 24 April 2001 in the UK and 5 March in the USA. The album charted at #129 in the UK and failed to sell well upon its initial release. But its re-release saw it eventually go Gold in the UK.
This particular song deviates a little bit from the popular rock style of this bands and plays around the concept of "finding calm in the middle of a complete chaos".
A powerful song that sounds different and refreshing; specially recommended for people that enjoy the music of this successful Irish band and want to discover and listen to a not-so-known track from their early beginnings.
