Posted December 5, 200816 yr Release date Digital download available now, CD single out on 15 December. The style It's back to big ballads for the X-Factor sweetheart, with Leona creating her own version of Snow Patrol's weepy hit. Cover versions can sometimes just be a lesser version, but this slow-rock love song has been completely revamped! The full gospel choir and orchestra easily match Leona's powerful pipes - and remind listeners why the song made people cry when she first performed it on Radio 1's Live Lounge last year. The words Leona gets every last ounce of emotion from the Snow Patrol lyrics - but she's not entirely clear where she's running, or who she's running with! It seems she has to say goodbye to someone she loves, but that if she had the choice, they'd run away - together. But wherever she's running, there IS a light at the end of the tunnel: "Light up, light up, as if you have a choice, even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear." Will you still be humming it next week? Well, we've been humming it for a year already - so what's another week?! It's already top of both the iTunes and Irish charts - so it's not really a question of how high it goes but how long it stays there. Will it make the charts? With Run available to buy on CD single from December 15, you can't help but wonder if Leona's after the ultimate chart success A UK Christmas number one? Maybe, this tune certainly has the X(mas) factor! http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_7...500/7764525.stm ================= Please do not merge this, otherwise it would get lost in the other thread for members to troll thru pages and pages to find out.

December 15, 200816 yr I don't think it's getting a CD single. There is no point, it doesn't need one. Physicals hardly sell these days and she already has her #1.
