"Chocolate" is a song by Northern Irish–Scottish alternative rock band Snow Patrol, released on 12 April 2004 as the third single of their third album, Final Straw (2003). The music for the track was written by all four members of the band while the lyrics were written by lead vocalist Gary Lightbody.
An edited version of "Chocolate" is featured on the trailer for The Last Kiss starring Zach Braff. It also features in the Torchwood episode "Cyberwoman" and it was used for the highlights on the last 'Wales On Saturday'.
Music video
The video was directed by Marc Webb and was filmed in New York City. It shows scenes of panic and despair at what is apparently the "end of the world". The centerpiece or focal point of the action is an hourglass that is quickly running out. The implication here is that darkness and death will descend when the last grains of sand have fallen through the bottleneck to the bottom.
After the lyrics finish lead singer Gary Lightbody walks up and inverts the hourglass. The video fades out to the song's guitar riff repeating.
Reception
Hot Press' reviewer Paul Nolan reviewed the single negatively. He wrote the song was true to its title, as it was "warm" and "anthemic", making comparisons to bands like Coldplay and Starsailor. He did not feel it was strong enough to match up to "Starfighter Pilot", which he called "a prime-time Snow Patrol number". He criticised the record company's approach, writing that the release was an attempt to capitalize on the success on the previous single "Run", Snow Patrol's breakthrough single.
