I came across this in my nightly search on the internet. Last Monday NBC premiered its new drama The Black Donnelly’s. At the very end of the show there was this five minute action montage that featured Snow Patrol’s “Open Your Eyes.” I found out from this site that the song was not actually the first choice. Turns out the producers really wanted to use “Rebellion” by Arcade Fire. Well, just our luck – both versions were leaked!
I personally think the aired version works great with the dialoge and has a better build up than “Rebellion” does. But feel free to decide for yourself!
Here is the ‘as aired’ version featuring Snow Patrol:
And the leaked version featuring Arcade Fire:
