Snow Patrol Releases New Song “All”
Northern Irish alt-rock band Snow Patrol, consisting of Gary Lightbody (vocals/rhythm guitar), Nathan Connolly (lead guitar) and Johnny McDaid (keyboards), released a new song “All” on August 8, 2024.
The song is the third single off of their upcoming eighth studio album “The Forest Is The Path”, which is set to be released on September 13, 2024.
The new album comprises a 12-track, Produced by Fraser T. Smith. It is their first album in six years since the 2018 album “Wildness”
The track was written by Gary Lightbody, Johnny McDaid, Nathan Connolly, and Fraser T. Smith who also produced it.
The band lead singer Gary Lightbody said of the song, “All was written by Fraser T Smith and myself in late November of 2022. This was almost exactly a year before we would ask Fraser to produce the album. The first time we recorded the album it didn't work out and we would then ask Fraser to step into the producer's chair in December of 2023 and he was a dream to work with.”- He continued, “The first day of writing with him I walked into the studio and he had already got some music going. It was all very much “hi, how are you, what about this?” and BAM we were off. I love when that happens. Not really a fan of the small talk. I like big talk. And when you're writing a song with someone you have to get to the big talk (or what's the point), so why wait?”
He added, “My memory is that it all came together very quickly. I wrote a melody and some words while Fraser built the track and in a couple of hours we had a really great rough version of the song. Then Johnny and Nathan put some extraordinary guitars, keys and piano on it, not to mention incredible backing vocals and so many things which lifted the song massively. Another example of the three of us being locked-in together on this record, it felt like something truly special was happening in the studio.” -
