elbow - 'Lippy Kids' (Live at Blueprint Studios)

[@elesaansell6733]

I’m a middle school teacher (2018). Students ask me if they can eat lunch in my classroom. I teach in an inner city Washington DC school. This is a standard that I play during lunch. Rough and tough kids will eat in silence while listening to this song. Even though I don’t ask them to be quiet. Thank you, Elbow. This song is magic.

@@Jimski234 It's a metaphor. It means that at that age (the age of lippy kids) you feel you can do anything - including building a rocket.

[@rickyallson3520]

@@Jimski234 If you put the line before it with it, it makes more sense. "Do they know those days are golden, build a rocket boys." It's a reminder to all to live in the moment, chase your dreams, enjoy what you have. Got a tattoo based on these lyrics for that reason. And yes, it sits on my arm, directly above my elbow. lol

[@carlpoelstra1059]

After the very sudden passing of my father in law last February, listening to Elbow has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Collectively we all loved them but now we fight with sadness but also fond memories of seeing them live together. Summer nights at Eden Sessions in Cornwall, arena concerts in Sheffield or just generally sat around a table drinking, having a laugh and an Elbow record on in the background. This band will forever divide our families hearts with love and sorrow. They are a masterpiece, their music is a masterpiece.

[@robjones6741]

Oh my word. Every time I hear this song it transports me back 25-30 years.... Oh the sweet irony, it is only now that I realise those times were golden... 😪

[@thoubosen2779]

4 years later, but maybe that’s what makes them golden mate. The complete ignorance to what they are, otherwise it just feels like limited time. They only end when you want them too, don’t stop my dude.

I remember being 16 in the long summer of 1995 having a realisation that I was living through a special moment in my life. Briefly, I knew those days were golden.

[@ArseBags]

This song makes me ache with joy. I can actually feel it swelling inside me, rising and falling with the music! I can't put it into words, but I get a kind of weird feeling where I want to simultaneously let out an abrupt laugh at the same time as getting the sensation of tears welling up...?! Maybe I'm just odd.... This is perfect. Just complete perfection.

[@dikuksilmo]

Thats not odd.... Thats beautiful!! I have the same feeling in my chest when i hear this song. A big ball want to break out in tears and joy like a kid.

Me and my father's relationship can be pretty awkward at times, I don't see him all the time now that I am at Uni in a different country and he often works abroad.

@@daisydukes7909 me and my friend Louis are pretty much the only people in our year (9) that like music older than 2010, and I think it's really important that my generation listen to older music because in my opinion modern pop is all the same.

He said this song is about remembering your childhood and remembering when you had an innocent mind and were yet to be subjected the the reality and harshness of life and the world. The song was released on the day when people needed to remember that the most. I guess people still need to remember that now

It struck me how we acknowledge and admire his observations when he is an adult, but i wonder how a young, artistically minded man in his early teens perceived what he was seeing right there and then. Was he so different in his thinking then as well? Or did he blend in and those memories came flooding back but translated into a language that the rest of us can't write down? Was he so self aware of how he could pick up on what we all did as kids?

Now if those twisted crazies who believe they have actually "arrived" could simply get over themselves we'd be cooking with gas! I'll now step down off my soap box, shut my mouth, and have a nice little cry because this stirring piece of music always gets me misty eyed thinking about how quickly my youth soared past me, and that I now have two teenage boys of my own who are getting to experience the thrill of discovery for themselves.

One day he starts playing this song on his laptop, and I remember hearing it before and having a pretty good memory for lyrics, I sang it lowly. He was kind of amazed that I had heard the song, asked if I was interested in listening to more, he gave me a usb stick with all their albums (at the time) on them. Been a fan ever since.

What an amazing track, I’m struggling a little bit to put it into words. It sounds so vulnerable and naked you can hear everything that’s going on, nothing is drowning out or being drown by any other sound or instrument. And then his voice just drifting over the top but again still not overpowering any other sounds. It sounds really daft but I get this mental picture of his voice “crowdsurfing” the music And the lyrics are simply stunning as are all elbow tracks, just amazing story telling.
