Have you heard the new Snow Patrol album yet? It is blowing my mind and entwining itself into my subconscious. It doesn’t get released here in the US until January (why?? Payback for the US for getting all the goodies first usually, I guess), but it’s been released in the UK, and wow, it’s stunning.

The song “New York” is particularly haunting.
If you were here beside me instead of in New York
If the curve of you was curved on me
I’d tell you that I loved you before I ever knew you
Because I loved the simple thought of you
