Snow Patrol's "Signal Fire" took the scenic route to the multiplex. The Northern Irish band first offered it to Shrek the Third, then watched it land on the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack, and in the spring of 2007 it went out as the one and only single from that album. They cut it at Grouse Lodge with Jacknife Lee, their producer of long standing, and Cenzo Townshend mixed it.
Gary Lightbody wrote the words and shares the music credit with Nathan Connolly, Jonny Quinn, Tom Simpson and Paul Wilson. British fans got it on a vinyl cut in the shape of a web and pushed it to number 4, the band's biggest single there, even as critics split and one waved it off as unoriginal. It later resurfaced on the 20th anniversary edition of Eyes Open, their fourth album.
