The singer-songwriter reflects on how he and the band have changed and Northern Ireland’s influence on his life as they release their new album.
Snow Patrol have been on quite a journey for the last 30 years. From their early years forming as a student band in Dundee, to creating hits which have become beloved across the world.
"And I'm so excited to bring this album out that we've made, that we're all really excited about, we're all really proud of, and get to gigging around the world." And he feels adopting these new practices over the last decade has sped us his evolution, adding: "All the things that I do for my mind I think, on a personal level made my life immeasurably better."
"It was so helpful. Definitely going to do that for every other album that we make, actually do some preparation. Maybe I should have been doing that for the last 30 years." "It might be the only time I get to do that, I might meet someone tomorrow, I have no idea. So now I guess was the time for that."
The Order Of Time by Carlo Rovelli, which delves into questions about the order of time, was also a central focus for him.
