There is also the matter of lying down on the ground, which appears in this song, Set the Fire to the Third Bar, and Warmer Climate. It's not shut your eyes, but it is some form of blindness. The theme of the album shows up in the line, "Here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see". For however good it feels in the moment, it's a set-up for disaster. Track 4 leads to track 5 and it is eventually revealed that this is a naive state of mind. This song seems to be the beautiful side of ignoring reality through love, whereas the next song, Shut Your Eyes, seems to be about the dangerous side. In the US, it peaked at number five in the main Billboard Hot 100 chart.General CommentIdealized love, that's what I hear. It sold its millionth copy in the UK in October 2013.
It then suddenly returned at number nine, and remained on the chart for 48 consecutive weeks, purely on downloads.īut 2013, the song racked up an amazing 111 weeks on the UK Top 75, making it the 2nd longest runner of all time, behind only Frank Sinatra's 'My Way'. It was then absent from the chart altogether for seven weeks, but by January 2007, a change to the rules meant that all downloads, with or without a physical version, were now eligible. However, by November the CD single was deleted and, due to chart rules at that time, the song was removed from the chart two weeks later, after 17 weeks in total. Released as a download-only single in July 2006, and followed by a CD version a few weeks later, it originally peaked at number six. The song has one of the most fascinating chart runs in UK history. It was also performed as the last live performance on Top of the Pops. It was later heard again in the 18th episode of the show's seventh season in 2011.
The song was also made into a music video for the medical show, as a promotion for its third season. 'Chasing Cars' became a big hit in the States, after its use in the TV drama One Tree Hill's third-season finale episode, 'The Show Must Go On'.Ī few weeks later, the song appeared on the second-season finale of Grey's Anatomy.
