A song by Snow Patrol, a mixed Northern Irish and Scottish rock band based in Scotland.
It’s included on their fourth album, Eyes Open, and many people in Japan may recognize it as the ending theme for the reality show Terrace House.
Its clear, transparent melody and spacious, dreamy arrangement evoke a vast landscape that feels unlike anything in Japan, with an atmosphere reminiscent of the Nordic North.
This is one of Snow Patrol’s signature songs and the track that helped spark their major breakthrough in the United States.
