Dear previous reviewers (Chris Marsh and "Markie")... it seems you might have been in a minority with your assessment of this particular song... quote follows from wikipedia on the release of Chasing Cars;
"...having now spent an incredible 78 weeks on the UK Top 75, making it the 2nd longest runner of all time, bettered only by Frank Sinatra's "My Way" (124 weeks). For only 14 weeks out of those 78 was a physical copy of "Chasing Cars" officially available. The song was voted number one in a Virgin Radio Top 500 Songs of All Time poll".
Enough said.
