The contemporary power ballad written by Snow Patrol, which leapt in to prominence as a series closer of the television show Grey's Anatomy. Reinterpreted here as a duet with an acoustic slant and highlighting the delicate ambiguity of the lyric.
U.K and European broadcasters should look for Chasing Cars as Track 8 on the September 2009 Edition of Rush Released CD (HOTDISC 129).

"...unique tonal colours...haunting" -Frank Ifield
In UP COUNTRY magazine,
Stuart Cameron posed a question...
"This is indeed an exciting issue (Rush Released - HOTDISC 129) with some very hot tracks being shipped to the European and Australian media, and for me the star track this month is from Australians Nicki Gillis and Bob Howe, who recently toured the UK. The two of them have made an album called Collaboration and from it comes their cover of the Snow Patrol rock ballad Chasing Cars. With steel guitar added to the mix on their version it is going to be very interesting to see how it will be received by country radio. The song is a masterpiece but will this version cross over to the world of country? We will soon find out!"
When with the track entering the Hotdisc Chart at # 7 he continued...
"Yes, it HAS crossed over to country radio with some superb steel guitar work to the fore."
The track then rose to # 3 ...
