Tom Wackett’s acoustic version of Snow Patrol’s "Chasing Cars," is a stripped-back, intimate affair that lets the familiar songwriting breathe in a more personal setting. But the core of the performance is in the lyrics: “If I lay here, if I just lay here / Would you lie with me and just forget the world,” which express a simple desire for intimacy outside everything. The song is so reflective; in the acoustic version, the chorus is sung enough to keep the emotions that make it such a long-lasting piece of music. Still Wackett. The connection, the feeling, all of it.
