GWFAS Exclusive: New Snow Patrol Single!
Ladies and gentlemen, live from Good Weather For Airstrikes headquarters in your nation’s capital (alright fine, I’m in Charlottesville right now, but it doesn’t have quite the same ring), we present to you: the new Snow Patrol single, “You’re All I Have”. I’m kind of nervous because this is the first time I’ve done the whole “first-to-post-a-hotly-anticipated-single” thing, but here it goes. I just got it and have only listened to it once, but my initial impression leaves me somewhat underwhelmed, though not outright dissappointed. It’s very catchy and is highly reminescent of “Chocolate”, from the group’s 2003 masterwork, Final Straw, and definitely has the potential to grow on me in the coming days/weeks.
“You’re All I Have” is the lead single from the band’s highly-anticipated fourth full-length, Eyes Open, which is due out on May 1st in the UK and May 9th in the US. Go here for more details and the full tracklisting for Eyes Open, which features a duet between frontman Gary Lightbody and Canadian songstress Martha Wainright. If you’re an Interscope record label executive representing Snow Patrol and you’d like me killed for posting this, I simply ask that you send me an email requesting that I take it down (which I will do without resistance) before you send your snipers in. You can view the album’s cover art above and download the song below, and be sure to pick up Eyes Open when it drops in May.
NOTE: Interscope was all, “Take that file down immediately”, and then I was all, “Okay”.

[NOTE: I owe major thanks to Ben from Work For It, as he was the one who found the single, but was reluctant to post it due to fear of record-label backlash. I, being more naieve than he, got his permission to post it in his stead, so be sure to roll over to Work For It and thank him.]
