Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody joins Radio X's John Kennedy to mark the 20th anniversary of Eyes Open, talking through the album track-by-track and reflecting on its enduring appeal. 

The band's fourth outing was the UK’s best-selling album of 2006, and Lightbody describes the record as “the album that changed everything,” noting it still feels “alive” due to streaming and new generations discovering the music. 

John and Gary discuss how specific tracks were written, recorded, and performed live; the unexpectedly tricky studio arrangement of Chasing Cars and the title's personal link to Lightbody's late father; how Shut Your Eyes became an audience participation moment; the band’s balance of rock energy with experimental sounds;  and Martha Wainwright’s astonishing one-take vocal on Set The Fire To The Third Bar.
