Snow Patrol- chasing cars video

The Video begins with a man sitting alone on a group of flat rocks. As the vocals of the song begin there is a close up shot of the man in the video showing lip syncing from the man in shot. As he sing if i lay here the man in the shot also lies down looking up at the sky and continuing to lip sync with the lyrics. As the song progresses there are shots of clouds gathering above adding to an impression of his isolation. There are constant close and medium shots of the man that do not reveal much about his location. As the song continues the conditions that the man is lieing in get progressively worse with each chorus of the song. as the beat increases in tempo the man rolls sideways into a puddle that has formed from the rain, however the man is shown to have been submerged in a huge lake/river. The camera then cuts to a shot of the person now standing on the rocks which implies some sort of redemption from the submerging. He is now dry and as the songs slows toward the end as the lyrics say forget the world the camera zooms out on an unearthly looking landscape that he is standing in , however the shadows of birds crossing the landscape shows it is.
