You can now hear Snow Patrol's new song on Clyde 1

Last week Snow Patrol released their latest song called 'The Beginning' and we've now added it to the Clyde 1 playlist, meaning you can now hear it throughout the week on your favourite radio station.

The band's new song comes from their upcoming eighth album 'The Forest Is The Path', which they announced last month, saying it was written in the 'Somerset countryside'. On the day they announced their new album, they also revealed 'The Beginning' was written on the first day they sat down to write.

Explaining in a lengthy caption, Snow Patrol wrote: 'The Beginning, the first single from the album, is out now and we hope you enjoy it.

'We had a few wee ideas kicking about that would eventually be recorded and find their way onto the album but when Johnny and I found ourselves in the Somerset countryside about to start writing for this album in earnest The Beginning was written on the very first day. That’s why it’s called the beginning in fact. I tend to name songs before I write the lyrics.

'So if Johnny, Nathan and I are working on the music for a track it will generally have a placeholder name that will get changed once I write the lyrics, one that better reflects the words of the song. BUT in this case, even though there are probably better words and phrases (that actually appear in the song) to be used as titles, The Beginning stuck.'

The band went on to describe the album, which will feature 12 songs, saying: 'This album took us on many uncharted routes, with sometimes weird and sometimes wonderful turns, and so it’s hard not to think of the start of this album as a new beginning. We honour the past, deeply.

'This is our thirtieth year, so we have an awful lot of it, past I mean. Tons of it. We have a profound love and respect for all who have been on this journey with us those many years. But while we honour the past we also want to cherish the present and look to the future. So this is the beginning of something, and we are so excited to share it with you all.'

The band, which formed in Dundee back in 1994 have had a number of hits over the decades including 'Chasing Cars', 'Signal Fire', and 'Called Out in the Dark'.
