Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol speaks about pure love and the desire to enjoy simple moments with a special someone, away from lifes complications. It was inspired by a night Gary Lightbody, the lead vocalist, spent with someone he loved, embodying the idea of needing nothing and no one but each others presence. He called it the purest and most open song he has ever written.
