SIGNAL FIRE - SNOW PATROL
With enduring radio hit “Chasing Cars” still ringing in our ears, U.K. quintet Snow Patrol hands over a new track from the “Spider-Man 3″ soundtrack. Understanding that with great power comes great sensitivity, “Signal Fire” reveals Spidey’s vulnerable side, and all the humanity hidden behind the mask. A powerful love song written in the first person, it features a superhero’s confessions: “I felt every ounce in me screaming out/But the sound was trapped in me.” It would be easy to over-sing the dramatic, arena-seeking chorus, but frontman Gary Lightbody delivers starry-eyed vocals like someone wholly unimpressed with special effects.
