Snow Patrol has unveiled a new song as part of the 25th-anniversary celebrations.

The new song, “Time Won’t Go Slowly,” is part of a forthcoming project teased on the band’s Twitter.

“We’ve been working in the studio over the last few months on a project to celebrate 25 years of Snow Patrol. The first piece of music, Time Won’t Go Slowly, is coming out tomorrow” they wrote on Monday, adding that there would be “more to follow in the coming weeks.”

The new track dropped Tuesday — “Very pleased to bring new music to you all” the group tweeted the next day. 

“Time won’t go slowly, though/I beg it to last,” frontman Gary Lightbody sings. “I just wanna be here with you/That’s all I ask.”

Snow Patrol recently canceled a series of European tour dates due to guitarist-pianist Johnny McDaid’s health issues.
