La canción Chasing Cars de Snow Patrol habla sobre un amor puro y el deseo de disfrutar momentos simples con alguien especial, lejos de las complicaciones de la vida. Fue inspirada por una noche que el vocalista Gary Lightbody pasó con alguien que amaba, encarnando la idea de no necesitar nada ni a nadie más que la presencia del otro. La llamó la canción más pura y abierta que ha escrito.
