Suddenly, the older kid was having to consider his own views about God, what life is and who we are. The child's question hit the older kid with a thud because he'd never really discussed 'God' with anyone before. But all of a sudden, the little boy confronted his older friend with a really deep, seemingly random question. The little boy was a determined little kid who enjoyed the challenge of the game. While walking along, the two played a simple game of who could spot the greatest number of blue cars that drove past, in the time it took to get home. Richards and Dishwalla for this great work!ДЄn older friend was walking a little boy home from school because the little boy's single Mom was working (Mom was the only parent the little child had ever known so he imagined God to be a 'Mother' figure). The paramedics know he's gone and begin to wonder why this type of thing happens to an innocent child (we ask many questions).Д®ven as I write this, though, I see many other possible scenarios. The child knows he is dying (on my way to see her), but isn't sure how long it will be (Am I very far, now?) Then, once they reach the hospital (shoes make hard noises in this place), the boy dies (it's getting cold) and the paramedics, who did everything they could (our clothes are stained), rush the boy to surgery (pick up the pace), passing upset, confused (cross-eyed) people in the hall.

The boy is conscious and asking if he is going to die and go to Heaven (Tell me all your thoughts on God Am I very far?) Then in the ambulance, escorted by police (only blue cars), speeding through intersections (skip the cracks in the streets), the process of dying advances (late afternoon), resulting in the moment where you get better before you get worse, seeing a light from Heaven (on the way, the sun broke free of the clouds). Mid-afternoon seems to refer to the realization that the boy is dying, but hanging on.

In 2009, the PPL announced 'Chasing Cars' was the most widely played song of the decade in the UK.I often enjoy when a songwriter uses imagery to tell a story, because it leaves the interpretation up to each person who hears it, resulting in endless possible meanings, based on each listener's life experiences.ДЇor me, I see a little boy, full of life and determination (walked with a purpose in his sneakers), and the songwriter is a first responder to this kid being struck by a car (down the street child's shadow = blood pool). The song peaked at number 6 in the UK Singles Chart, and number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100.ДЄt the 2007 Grammy Awards, 'Chasing Cars' was nominated for Best Rock Song, and at the 2007 Brit Awards, the song was nominated for Best British Single. In 2007, on the strength of downloads, it was the UK's 34th best-selling single of 2007. The song is Snow Patrol's biggest-selling single to date, ending 2006 as the UK's 14th best-selling single of the year and that year had the distinction of being the last song performed live on the BBC's Top of the Pops. It became notable as one of the songs that revealed the impact of legal downloads on single sales in the UK, selling consistently for years after its release. The song gained significant popularity in the US after being featured in the second season finale of the popular medical drama Grey's Anatomy. It was recorded in 2005 and released on 6 June 2006 in the US and 24 July 2006 in the UK as the album's second single. 'Chasing Cars' is the second single from Snow Patrol's fourth album, Eyes Open.
