The band were founded at the University of Dundee in 1994 by Lightbody, Mark McClelland, and Michael Morrison of Shrug. After briefly using the name Polarbear, releasing the EP Starfighter Pilot (1997) and losing Morrison as a member, the band became Snow Patrol in 1997 and added Quinn to its lineup. Their first two studio albums, Songs for Polarbears (1998) and When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up (2001), released by the independent record label Jeepster Records, were commercially unsuccessful. The band then signed to the major record label Polydor Records in 2002.
Connolly joined Snow Patrol in 2002, and after their major-label debut album, Final Straw, the following year, with "Run", the album's biggest hit, the band rose to national fame. The album was certified 5x platinum in the UK. Their next studio album, Eyes Open (2006), and its hit single, "Chasing Cars"—reported in 2019 to be the most-played song of the 21st century on UK radio—propelled the band to greater international fame. The album topped the UK Albums Chart and was the best-selling British album of the year. In 2008, Snow Patrol released their fifth studio album, A Hundred Million Suns; then, in 2009, they released their first compilation album, Up to Now; and, in 2011, their sixth studio album, Fallen Empires, was published. The band released their seventh album, Wildness, on 25 May 2018.
During the course of their career, Snow Patrol have won seven Meteor Ireland Music Awards and been nominated for six Brit Awards and one Grammy. Final Straw, Eyes Open, and A Hundred Million Suns have sold ten million copies worldwide, combined.

Snow Patrol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am still afraid
So stay by my side
And hold on to my hand
Try to teach me that
I'm alright, I guess
But there's so much wrong
But there's so much right
To differ on one thing
In the opening lines of Snow Patrol's song Make_Love_To_Me_Forever, the singer reveals that even though he has been in a relationship for a while, he still has some reservations about it. It's clear that he fears losing the person he's with, as he asks them to stay by his side and hold on to his hand. This fear could come from past experiences or simply the fear of the future and the unknown. He then reflects on his own state of being, admitting that there are things that are wrong, but there are also things that are right. This could be interpreted as an acceptance of the flaws and imperfections within the relationship, as well as the realization that there are still things to be grateful for.
The next line, "I guess we'll agree to differ on one thing" may suggest that there is some sort of disagreement or conflict within the relationship that the couple may never fully resolve. It's a mature line, indicating that sometimes differences can't always be resolved and that it's possible to agree to disagree on some things. The song overall captures the complexity of relationships and the ups and downs that come with them. Despite this complexity, the singer ultimately desires a lasting, eternal love with his partner.
