So much life has happened in the 13 years that have passed, so much life has gone by. Are we still building those rockets people? I hope so. Keep smiling, enjoy the good times, the bad and reflect on all your wins no matter how small. 🙌

[@alastairwinner]

Makes me tear up every time I hear this song. Beautiful, simple and transports me back to another time. Music gets no better than this...

[@ThomasJakobMusic]

Underrated. Should be the anthem of humanity.

[@iownagreyhound]

That choir humming in the background just makes this song :) Gorgeous

[@LLAMASAREBIGGERTHANF]

Guy Garvey is one of the greatest singers today

[@stevelee9924]

And song writer !!!

[@Erin-uz2gf]

he really is! and he makes it look so easy when you hear him live & in person. the entire band is amazing live.

[@stephenmccartney1606]

He's a fantastic singer..

[@lukasmayo]

He has such a layered, textured voice. I can't think of any singer in the past 10 years with a voice this good

[@louiesimon5292]

One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Tears of happiness to hear that something this lovely can exist. Thank you.

[@floolf666]

Look into his eyes. He feels every word. That's what makes this magical.

[@kevinbutcher1899]

Being guys age this song resernates so much. Singing about what most kids did at that time. Walking on walls climbing trees. Nostalgic. Also a beautiful song, love it.

[@norstar605]

Chills every time, anywhere I listen. It's pure nostalgia distilled into a few minutes of Guy's beautiful voice, soothing your soul.

[@jabbadabbajew6035]

I never tire of this masterpiece. Thanks Elbow, real music for the working classes. 💙👍

[@liamwalters5029]

I love the ethos of this song, dream big boys/girls. 🚀

[@KoudPilsje]

It's so weird to see that such a beautifull song and band doesn't have over a thousand views on this master piece. Build A Rocket Boys! ;)

[@richardmorris2168]

really underrated band!

[@you_and_whose_army]

The best band on Earth

[@chrisbaileymusic87]

Beautiful and evocative

[@seachlainnorourke9014]

What camera work. Absolutely fantastic!

[@onlyonecanwin]

Seachlainn O Rourke I’ve watched this countless times and only just realised that it’s one camera for a continuous shot!

[@Banchorian]

Beautiful. Elbow defines a generation of real, unhampered music. Let is always continue.

[@jjinxie4498]

My favourite song on this album. So real and honest. Great, just great.

[@MrBeat7]

Such a beautiful song (as usual) from Elbow. This song sounds so much like night swimming by REM........you can hear it.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Wow.Great comment. Very true

[@spaceraccoon1401]

Everytime I listen to this song, I cry.

[@beatlesboi1]

TERFragette Kim me too

[@markwatson5329]

Its the choir. So beautiful.

[@JulianEstrada93]

Absolutely magnificent, this is the stuff dreams are made of.

[@jamesbolger413]

Absolutely stunning, God bless Elbow.

[@79nollaig]

MIND BLOWING MUSIC LOVE THIS BAND.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

This song is so thematic in nature. It is, a musical score , unto it's own self. Such visuals fill my soul when I close my eyes.

[@ripeyellowjockuk]

Just Perfect

[@chrisevans2726]

[@isopdt]

Stunning....

[@lukewelden]

Studio or Live, same result awesome voice awesome music, which is alot more than i can say for most popular chart music that todays people admire.

[@shadyady3605]

Beautiful x

[@RollsRules]

Effortlessly beautiful.

[@phrazegamblers]

So intense! So inspiring! Thanks!

[@gards2]

what a beautiful song

[@chunder27]

The simplicity of it, the construction of it, the timing, the memories, the genius. So rare nowadays. And yet so annoyingly ignored.

[@jaynelouise1969]

I remember watching this live, and thinking "what a performance", very haunting...love it...

[@tmcarroll]

Love this version of the song.

[@wastagwaga]

I'm in tears. How can you top this...

[@n1knak]

Tears are brought to my eyes

[@jenlincoln4215]

I just heard Elbow a month ago and am floored as to why they are not more popular!

[@gavinroberts4621]

Goosebumps

[@irishmma1]

Such an under-rated song. Its sad to see such a song with an incredible message get so little attention.

[@1995JTR]

Beautiful.

[@markLyonesse]

Thanks for sharing your music.

[@clairevanteylingen1957]

Wat een mooi nummer!!!! Heel gevoelig....

[@tonyworrall7607]

[@msgtarot9050]

[@sICLEr]

So Perfect !!!!!!!

[@884tomato]

every single thing you hear here is awesomeness

[@LuckyX0182]

I thought this song couldn't get any better. I was wrong.

[@McCurtainlooker]

Best version. (full stop)

[@canoemandan]

I am 16 and I do not understand how this goes under the radar while one direction and Justin beaver are "popular" .... Same with guy Garveys Angela's eyes and other elbow songs like one day like this and grounds for divorce and the birds and.... Well..... Most elbow songs..... Sorry for the rant on this beautiful song's video but please just reply so that I know that I'm not the only one that believes this is easily ten times better that today's pop music....

[@jillesoom3305]

i do love me some good justin beaver

[@jolien200700]

No, you are the only one in the world that likes this music as a teenager. Aren't you a little special snowflake?

[@canoemandan]

+Jolien so I'm the only one who has a good taste of music in my generation. Good to know 😊

[@jolien200700]

yeah sure, whatever floats your boat

[@neosortmahame6165]

Better for us

[@DookieAdz]

i seen them live, it was perfect

[@rockerupchuck]

WHISTLING IN A SONG IS VERY COOL!

[@m3c4n0]

¡Ésta canción es bellisima!... Cuando él la estaba cantando se le veían los ojos aguados, como con ganas de llorar.

[@if2643]

possibly the best song ever. (my opinon dont rage)

[@IngridGeinger]

Super muziek = super groep .. i love it ...i lik it

[@unbelievabubbledave]

Anyone else tear up when you realise there's a whole choir behind him?

[@louiesimon5292]

Yep.

[@tomparko1]

This is music, not some GaGa bull which gets number 1. Well done elbow :)

[@misshousemd]

Only 49018 views?! People u r mad... This is just awesome...

[@MrSirDrew]

Lyrics Lippy kids on the corner again Lippy kids on the corner begin Settling like crows Though I never perfected the simian stroll The cigarettes and it was everything then Do they know those days are golden? Build a rocket boys Build a rocket boys! One long June I came down from the trees and kerbstone cool You were a freshly painted angel Walking on walls Stealing booze and hour long hungry kisses And nobody knew me at home anymore Build a rocket boys! Build a rocket boys Build a rocket boys! Lippy kids on the corner again Lippy kids on the corner begin Settling like crows And I never effected that simian stroll No Do they know those days are golden? Build a rocket boys Build a rocket boys! One long June I came down from the trees And kerbstone cool You were a freshly painted angel Walking on walls Stealing booze and hour long hungry kisses And nobody knows me at home anymore Build a rocket boys! Build a rocket boys Build a rocket boys!

[@JohnMan59]

Peter Gabriel. But that was MORE than ten years ago. Listen and compare. I love them BOTH.

[@JamesHollands-v7f]

2024… WHO IS LISTENING ????

[@TheBerkehan1234]

Exception, this is the only explanation

[@n1knak]

Heard this for the first time today

[@pezza418]

The sad thing is nowadays you nly have to be attractive to be successful in music and its suffocating real genius and talent like this

[@fredh1720]

It's not

[@adam210890]

Such an underrated band and this song would have been a top 20 hit 10 years ago. Charts these days make me sick!

[@marcusjonassen5106]

Anna Calvi in the beginning!

[@pezza418]

Build a rocket boys isn't as tuneful as seldom seen kid but seems so much more peaceful and beautiful. Elbow dobn't get the recognition they deserve

[@joshyfowler1997]

2 people have no idea what good music sounds like

[@jaymichael1590]

Could this song be any better or better performed...

[@christianclark5795]

Tunnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@seanharris5602]

Dont be an empty cup.!!

[@saulwarhust455]

Musterd

[@HIBBY75]

1 dislike = zero class.

[@adam210890]

I like live videos, but this one could have made a killer 'music video'.

[@BPDosidude]

Some of the stuff inthe charts suck. Wish there was more stuff like this in there :) cuz elbow r awsome

[@adam210890]

I like how the radio edit has the choir in the chorus but i hate how the piano outro is cut. Kinda pointless since radio never promoted the song, Belgium did a better job.

[@giovannifarinacci4533]

YOU ARE 100% RIGHT.

[@clubbythe]

And Irish

[@JonBritton]

You do know that One Direction are English, right?

[@barfly946]

I have to hand it to Elbow, they make Coldplay sound like The Clash by comparison.
