Elbow - Forget Myself (Official Music Video)

[@jahnbon]

So many more people should be loving this eleven years later. This is a perfect record.

They used this song in the trailer for Southland Tales and I needed to find it!

[@telcontara177]

This is the song that made me, a child raised on classical music and the occasional oldies radio, decide that maybe music with drum sets was something I should include in my life. It will always hold a special place in my heart. That said, watching this video while trying in vain to fall asleep was a terrible, terrible idea.

[@maddrbob650]

I LOVED Richard Jupp. He was a truly extraordinary drummer. the first time I saw these guys (opening for Doves, in Washington DC) my friends and I couldn't take our eyes off him! PERFECT timing, but like the rest of the band, not flashy or prone to showing off, he really propelled them through their set. So sorry he retired from touring, I hope they work together in the studio again, at least. ARE YOU READING THIS, GUY??? MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

[@marklaw7777]

All these years later, still one of my favourite songs of all time 💜

[@CHEREXTRA]

I'm here from surf's up the game

[@ToxicTurquoise454]

I'm here because I have a taste in music

[@charlesmayer497]

He's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace, the song that saved my life and tipped me into enlightenment. Thank you boys X

[@TapeCollageForEloise]

The 2000's will go down in history as one of the greatest musical decades.

[@ExTrEmExMaRiiNe]

This band is just pure talent . . . nuff said

[@phoule76]

They're pacing Piccadilly in packs again And moaning for the mercy of a never come rain The suns had enough and the simmering sky Has the heave and the hue of a woman on fire Shop shutters rattle down and I'm cutting the crowd All scented and descending from the satellite towns The neon is graffiti singing make a new start So I look for a plot where I can bury my broken heart No I know I won't forget you but I'll forget myself if the city will forgive me The man on the door has a head like Mars Like a baby born to the doors of the bars And surrounded by steam with his folded arms He's got that urban genie thing going on He's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace Saint Peter in satin he's like Buddha with mace No I know I won't forget you but I'll forget myself if the city will forgive me Do you move through the room with a glass in your hand Thinking too hard about the way you stand Are you watching them pair off and drinking them long Are you falling in love every second song No I know I won't forget you but I'll forget myself and the city will forgive me

[@twofingersmyfriends3830]

2:33 gave me goosebumps the first dozen times I heard this.

[@the3gamers603]

surfs up.

[@jnwest8585]

Great soundtrack to a video game. One of the best songs to "surf" too.

[@AgeOfReclamation]

this deserves more the 5k hits.

[@jamesfish18]

If they are allowed to open Co Op Live tonight I would either start or end with this.

[@ohskillah]

wow, i do fall in love with every second song of every album

[@ciaracustard]

He's goregous. Those eyes and that voice!

[@Brizeus]

this song gives me happiness

[@benbennit]

When i can hit the town after lockdown for a drink this song is going on.

[@ikletruble]

i never tire of these guys. always make me smile

[@joevjohn6327]

The bass line is rocking

[@123DionneMarrs]

Me and my Grandad- who's 73- always listen to these. Just shows, their music can appeal to a range of ages. I love Elbow! :)

[@JulianEstrada93]

I know what I like, and I like what I know; and i really really like this.

[@scotchqueen83]

This song always makes me feel alive. Always

[@arklestudios]

All these years, I never knew this song had an official video. I know it mainly through the Southland Tales soundtrack.

[@JennWatson]

Me2!

[@MrDrum31]

you must come in italy, great song, great video!

[@JennWatson]

I listen to this almost every day of my life and I never tire!

[@realistically-r7g]

Love you guys music ,happy days 🎉

[@ThatGirl-tg7wd]

Discovered through Southland Tales.. fan forever thereafter

[@DanDaDangly]

This sums up Elbow. Proud to be different, and extremely talented at that.

[@thesnakeman8006]

Southland tales brought me here a LONG TIME ago

[@JohnMan59]

They've had the cash for years. Still kicking, still relevant. Muse alive and well.

[@jamesfish18]

Their best song in my view

[@jeremymurray6459]

That is a BIG chorus

[@rht992]

girlfriend left me the other day. this song made me smile again

They have great harmony...that is not easy.

[@PlatinoRojo]

Me encanta esta canción ❤

[@VinceWalk666]

Nice one chap. You're right, humility is rare, especially round here!

[@TeslasTeaParty]

Had this song going around my head all morning so had to come here to defeat the ear worm... I forgot how good this track is!

[@mummyjohn]

Heck yes! Great film!

[@jeebrew]

I first heard it in Surfs Up! game I guess in 2010 or something... This game had best soundtracks xD

[@blackmore.]

Pov: it's 2012 and you're playing surf up on psp

[@CHEREXTRA]

[@michaelking8483]

Still playing

[@Clairebee]

I had it for PS2. Good times.

[@thisishorosho0705]

i was listening to a surf up playlist on spotify, then went on youtube to see who's also nostalgic 😁😁

[@TheWindfull]

An amazing band with substance and integrity. Not many UK bands like this left. A few other who seem to be battling the commercial sludge are Radiohead, Tricky, PJ Harvey, Portishead, Massive Attack, Unkle, Scroobius Pip, Jamie Woon, The XX, AllFlaws

[@IrakliGogava]

Very underrated band.

[@nelsonr32]

Can't wait to see them at the IOW festival!

[@13mollydog]

love this band so much! such great tunes

[@iownagreyhound]

what a song and what a vid to go with it love their wee dog too

[@pdaily91]

Interesting song. It hints at something grandeur, i love it.

[@RenardGabz]

1:46 cool reference to one of the first movie ever made

[@melissagerson21]

Not first movie ever made.First was "Arrival of a Train". People were so afraid of the film they thought that the train was coming outta the picture. It was released in the late 19th century.

[@mollymcintoshable]

This video makes me so happy omg

[@bibblytib]

Haha, the music video and the lyrics. I love where the band's mind is at.

[@elliottspence]

Criminally low views for such an epic track.

[@thisbambibites]

Going to see them at Slane, 28th of May!

[@joelovescandles]

Well SHAME ON ME for forgetting how amazing this band is! Won't happen again! ;)

[@coltsuperocean10]

.............this is so so so fucking good!! What a fucking perfect piece of music!!

@meganshezza Congratulations, just know that how old you are never matters if you like good music. You're still awesome.

Bro this song was 🔥in Psp Surf’s Up, like imagine surfing in a volcano with this song background 😂

[@mcchunky5242]

For me it was ps2 but yeah I miss that game

[@katieisknackered4044]

Elbow

[@ThisIsReadyMade]

This reminded me of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" but ALSO it reminded me of Bjork's "I Miss You."

[@ivanyiattila3547]

Yes, I also remind these!

[@Reisgar42]

This makes me think of Mighty Boosh a bit, and I love it.

[@niallreilly5544]

All scented and descented from their satellite towns..class

[@VinceWalk666]

I saw Elbow live in Manchester a few years ago at the Apollo, incredible, Brilliant night. Saw Muse live 3 times, twice @ MEN and at Earls Court. MEN was the most incredible live music experience I have ever had. I heard MUSE in the car the other day and nearly cried at how weak and "canned" they sounded. I don't really remember why I had a dig at Elbow, so I'll let that one go, Sorry Chaps! But as for the other lot, they've landed the Olympic Song. RIP: MY HEROES I blame Kate Hudson.

[@thisbambibites]

Elbow are amazing.

[@itsalexeverybody]

@TheWindfull is it a coincidence that almost all of those bands have won a mercury prize?

[@twochordcool]

Probably the ONLY band that could ever take U2's place after they pack it in! :)

[@Schumitastic]

Awesome awesome tune and quality video. Should of been a hit. Video reminds me a bit like a cross between Sledgehammer and All Around The World by Oasis.

[@a2frostyyt]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🔥🔥🔥

[@Red_Dagger]

2:38 to 2:45 made my day.

[@dragonheart81vids]

I'm addicted as fuck to this song.

[@twochordcool]

@coltsuperocean10 I LOVE Elbow - my absolute favorite discovery in music of the last few years. I still have to love and respect U2 more for doing it more consistently for a FAR longer period of time than Elbow. But I hope to still be getting great music out of Elbow in 20 years time - and THEN we can discuss who was better.

[@mummyjohn]

"Do you move through the room with a glass in your hand Thinking too hard about the way you stand Are you watching them pair off and drinking 'em long? Are you falling in love every second song?" Sounds familiar all right.

[@a2frostyyt]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jasoncoffey5048]

this is probably the closest thing we will get to a beatlesesq song in this day and age. x

[@coltsuperocean10]

@TheWindfull ...you can but Doves in that fantastic group of bands too.

[@celebroncro]

[@MrGrocer1]

@rainbowghostsplinter - I agree , first thing I thought too

[@kingbowser99]

@TheWindfull You have a point, but i see no Muse there. :P

[@Sammicsno]

did he say "Buddha with mace"?

I'm pretty sure the band playing at the Empty Bottle on Western in Chicago is "Elbow Deep." NOT "Elbow." Would be fucking awesome if it were Elbow.
