We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how, as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

A truly lame version of this song.
I know some people said they don't expect this out of ST but I think that is why I like it so much.
My fave band, their own music is fab. This cover, not so much, too mellow for them (although I do love Snow Patrol too). I'd love to see them live!
Great song with lots of great covers, but I'm partial to the The Wind and the Wave cover that played on Grey's Anatomy: https://youtu.be/M-7A0g8Y0OA
We could use some The Wind and the Wave on RP!

its the same weird style a lot of covers of pop songs get these days. they dont really change a lot but make it artificial, almost feels like a workaround to profit off a song the second time?
To be honest, this is a cover that nobody needed. Solid "2".

A pleasant enough little tune. I would like to have heard more creativity/variation with the drum programming.

I disagree, it's very different than the original, they have their own take on this song, though I was very (pleasantly) surprised that they could produce something like this. I think it stands out more than the original.

The Snow Patrol original is snoresville, and sadly this is no improvement. Aural Mogadon

I love these guys… I also love Snow Patrol. So two things I enjoy wrapped in one package and done well

It's funny that 20 people rated this a "10". They were like "GUYS, NOW I HAVE FINALLY HEARD SOMETHING BETTER THAN 'SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND'".
weird. some people must have taken their 10 back as it's just showing 10 votes at 10.The original by Snow Patrol was a lot better.
Does anyone else hear Belly?

Love Sofi Tukker but not sure I'm a fan of this mellower direction. Are they trying to be all grown up now? Drinkee etc kick major derriere but this is kind of meh. They're great live btw.

Dear time wasting fuckwitted haters… You should get a hobby like in a place that doesn’t “yuck someone elses yum”

Can someone wake up the male singer? 7—>3 when he came in.

This is a little on the tame side for them IMHO...but is a cover of SP's tune. Check out their "Hello Lion" and the more air-played "Drinkee" for some fun!
yeah, i love Sofi Tukker usually. this isn't one of my favs. drinkee and purple hat and so many others really caught my attention and made me want to hear more. this is like muzak.

The artwork is more interesting than the song.

This is just awful.
Yeah, not even a good cover. So, why?

Not Snow patrol!! Sorry, sacrilegious!

Never heard of this band. Interesting cover of the Snow Patrol original. I'll open at a 7, since it is better than the 6 given by the only other review.

If you're going to put negativity into this world, I guess my duty is to try to balance it. I LOVE THIS VERSION! And I really do.
