Tired Pony began life as a doodle in Lightbody's jotter. During idle moments on Snow Patrol's year-long tour for a Hundred Million Suns, Gary began writing songs for this imaginary band having earlier in the year hinted at his ambition to form a Country band. Forward to January 4th 2010, a cast of characters assembled at Portland's Type Foundry; from the extended Snow Patrol family there was Troy Stewart, the band's guitar technician, Iain Archer, long-time Snow Patrol associate and collaborator, Richard Colburn, the renowned drummer with Belle & Sebastian, and producer Garret 'Jacknife' Lee, who brought in Tired Pony's final two members, Peter Buck from R.E.M. and Scott McCaughey, the Seattle musical polymath who's been R.E.M.'s full-time auxiliary member since 1994. Tired Pony were joined by a number of guest contributors including M. Ward, his She & Him partner Zooey Deschanel (who sings harmony on "Get on the Road") and Tom Smith of Editors, who sings lead vocal on "The Good Book". ## Images ![Place We Ran from - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yo67j7suL.jpg) ![Place We Ran from - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ThNZ2Ol-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mesmerizing *by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2015* A mesmerizing CD. I have utmost appreciation for frontman Gary Lightbody and have listened to much of his back catalogue, starting with his earliest days of Snow Patrol, then onto his Reindeer Section side project, and up to present day including Tired Pony and more recent Snow Patrol work.I wouldn't characterize this as Americana, just well-written, likable, and -- at times -- ethereal music. It's marked by Lightbody's expressive voice (he's got the Celtic crooner thing down; even my husband has a man-crush), vivid characters, and rich lyrics. He's a poet of the highest order. Although it has not been described as autobiographical in the least, I do think the music reflects that Lightbody is thinking about new themes in his music, or at least thinking about love, loss and longing in other ways.There are lots of good moments on this album, my favorites include "Get On the Road", "Northwestern Skies", and "That Silver Necklace" -- the latter of which includes such lyrical gems as: "I can read the signs, read your mind, read your lips, read your diary." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When the sum of the parts is greater than the whole *by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2011* Take one part lovely Irish singer, Gary Lightbody, who has explored music through various permutations of "Snow Patrol," generously mix the spiritual lyrical mandolin of Peter Buck, season liberally with guest singers such as Tom Smith and Zooey Deschanel, bring together some of the finest musicians to elevate the vocals, and you have musical synergy.This collection of songs is amazing: each one seems connected to the others - much like REM has always done quite successfully. I find myself listening to the album from beginning to end over and over - something that hasn't happened since "Carolina Liar's" debut album. I even bought the CD because the mp3 version lacked depth, richness, and tonal quality. This was the first CD I had bought in over 4 years. Maybe the CD isn't dead after all.I hope they decide to tour and do at least one more CD. The blending of contemporary and folk produce music that is so soothing and uplifting. I would love to hear more. ### ⭐⭐⭐ I'm not running from it *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2014* Giving this CD a 3-star rating doesn't mean I don't like it, it only means I really enjoyed about half of the pieces on it. If you remember buying the old vinyl albums (making a come-back now), for one or two songs you had to hear at least 50 times a day, and realizing the bulk of the music didn't quite make the grade, well, this isn't like that! It's certainly worth buying, and enjoying, and most people seem to be happier with more of the songs than I was, so . . . happy listening. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/3649459-place-we-ran-from](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/3649459-place-we-ran-from) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
