I'm trying to find the name of an indie rock ballad that I think is from somewhere in the 2000s (though it could be a little earlier or later). I'm pretty sure it was a hit because I know I've heard it on the radio more than once. The singer sounded a lot like the singer from the band Snow Patrol though I'm not if it was by them or a similar-sounding band. I don't know any of the words but I know the chorus has a four-note phrase in one bar, another four notes in another, then a much longer phrase over the next two bars. It was midtempo, maybe about 80 BPM. Any ideas?
