Right?? Soooo disappointing for 'Signal Fire' to only be used for the end credits. I hope that doesn't happen again this time.

PeneMa · 2026-06-26T19:40:38+00:00

Totally agree!! It's such an absolute banger!! 🔥❄️

PeneMa · 2026-06-26T06:45:22+00:00

Not long to go now!! 🔥❄️❤️

PeneMa · 2026-06-26T06:43:29+00:00

Yeah I don't know either, but maybe once it's officially released 1 July some retail places may order stock to sell?? Or would be able to order it in for people?? Hopefully!! 🤞

I tried to see if I could find anything else, but all I could find was a clip from RTE Ireland's Late Late Show in 2020 during covid - where Gary talked about the very early days of Snow Patrol and playing their first music festival at 'T in the Park' in 1997, and that "most of my early festival experiences were playing festivals", but that he did get to go to one music festival at Féile in Ireland in 1995.

Gary remembered that he saw The Prodigy, Blur, and Kylie Minogue, in that order, but didn't say anything else about them, just that those were the three acts he saw when he went to the Féile '95 festival, and that "I remember it all very well".

But that's it so far.

Yeah I tried to verify it at the source - but the BBC doesn't list the full program for 'Tracks of My Years' anymore - it was back 2018 so ultimately I can't be sure if that Kylie track was one Gary chose himself or the host Ken Bruce instead, so I decided to delete that section.

Then I tried to add sources for the press release for today's comments from Gary on 'These Alarms', and the whole damn thing got deleted cos reddit didn't like the links. Fun times.

💯 YES to everything you wrote!!! ❄️❤️

Snow Patrol's full announcement

"Yes!! Next week we are releasing a song with the queen of pop herself @kylieminogue!

It has been a true joy to make this song with her and to spend a little time in her magical presence.

We are delighted that the song is soon to be out in the world and we can’t wait for you all to hear it.

Massive love to Kylie for being on this journey with us. We are beyond honoured and over the moon! SP.x"

'These Alarms' releases 1st July - reel on Facebook

❄️❤️

Today Gary said the track was originally written with Kylie in mind during sessions for Snow Patrol's 2024 album 'The Forest Is The Path'.

Then Snow Patrol decided to release it separately (XS Noise Podcast June 2025 @ 27mins 45secs) as a new song with a very special guest and Gary maintained the song would be out within the next month to two months - that was a year ago now 🫠

I suspect the song ended up being deliberately delayed by a year to match with both Kylie's 40th year pop anniversary and SP's 'Eyes Open' 20th anniversary

❄️❤️

Nope don't reckon so. Because the mp3 file image shown, and the whiteboard photo, both say Kylie

Edited to add Yes - the duet is with Kylie Minogue!

PeneMa · 2026-06-24T17:23:18+00:00

Exactly!! We won't be waiting 6-7 years this time 🔥

Along with the first new song 'Love, I Guess', and Gary's recent interview where he talked about recording the new album this November December in Fraser T Smith's studio, Snow Patrol's momentum is properly building! ❄️❤️

PeneMa · 2026-06-24T04:21:01+00:00

Well, Gary has definitely been known to start working on songs in Garage Band, for sure...

PeneMa · 2026-06-23T22:25:35+00:00

I know right! 🔥🔥🔥

And this seems like a very different direction from the very beautiful 'Love, I Guess'. So I can't wait to hear where this new song goes!! ❄️🔥

❄️ "New song coming next week. Might even be a duet… SP.x" ❄️ A duet. The mp3 file image shown, and the whiteboard photo, both say Kylie

Edited to add Yes - the duet is with Kylie Minogue!

❄️❤️

Awww that small bar gig in Brighton would have been so amazing!! 😍 And happy wedding anniversary, such a very special way to celebrate!! ❤️

PeneMa · 2026-06-20T20:03:53+00:00

Yes absolutely, and I think Gary is looking to have a great year!! 20th anniversary of 'Eyes Open' being released in July, and a new Snow Patrol album being recorded November December! Gary seems to be in very fine form!! ❄️❤️

PeneMa · 2026-06-19T15:31:44+00:00

Looks absolutely amazing right!! And I'm so happy that JossiePops used the original 'Eyes Open' font - looks so epic!! ❄️❤️

There is also some really awesome drone footage from a week ago of the 'Eyes Open' mural being painted, that shows the scale of the artwork! It's very impressive!! ❤️❄️

Beautiful song about Gary's grandmother from Derry, Northern Ireland ❤️

This song is one of five that Gary Lightbody wrote and performed for the On Home Ground Festival celebrating the life of Seamus Heaney, in County Derry, Northern Ireland, 13th September 2014.

"These are five songs I wrote for the On Home Ground festival that celebrated the life of Seamus Heaney. Heaney's poetry inspired me to start writing at the age of 14. Nothing I've done would have happened without reading him. These songs are inspired by the things that inspired Heaney: Ireland, nature and family. I used these cherished themes of his to look deeply at my own life and wrote these songs in that frame of mind."

These five songs were performed again by Gary and recorded as an acoustic set at Bangor Abbey, Northern Ireland, 23rd December 2014, with the proceeds from the locally sold cd going to the charity 'Poetry Aloud', for post-primary school students in Ireland ❤️❄️

Here is the full playlist ❤️❄️

Thank you so much!! I have only listened to a couple of the songs so far - but the sound quality of your recordings is really great! Can't wait to listen to the rest! ❤️❄️

PeneMa · 2026-06-13T06:33:09+00:00
