Elbow - One Day Like This Reaction

[@rdumontdebeque]

The official music video for this song is beautiful and unforgettable.

[@Distant394]

Holly Cow I love this tune , friends , drinking , singing . luv it

[@michaeljohn1978]

This song is basically a modern Hey Jude. It does the same 3 verse/3 bridge thing before hitting you with the repetitive chorus refrain. You can even sing "Na na na nanana nanana... hey Jude" over it because it's the same melody

[@charlesappleby8049]

This song is fairly ubiquitous in the UK. It even featured in the opening ceremony of the London Olympics

[@whataboutme7174]

Charles, excellent delivery of the word "ubiquitous" there sir .👏👏👏👏

[@gavinhall6040]

This song always goes down well in large crowds because they are great performers and get everybody involved. They played the Olympics and lots of other outdoor sports competitions.

[@pdcrmr]

Guy Garvey is a poet with the voice of an Angel. So many great songs. Enjoy the rabbit hole kids!

[@malcolmbell5266]

This whole album is wonderful

[@freduardobobardo224]

They did a really good live session at the BBC with a full orchestra.

Every time we've attempted to use a BBC made video it's been immediately blocked.

[@darrenwestbury8569]

If you get the chance check at this other tune by Elbow called Magnificent (she says) I think it's a better song

[@krs181067]

Watch this live. Glastonbury. It’s amazing.

[@whataboutme7174]

Elbow are a wonderful band, Starlings, Mirrorball, Lonliness of a tower crane driver or Weather to fly Live at The Royal Albert Hall with full orchestra are all great, Guy Garvey has a Sunday Radio show on BBC 6 Music too, a top man he is.

[@chrismoore7606]

You get the feeling he's one of those who has to find something negative. The compression's too much, for God's sake. This is one of the great songs and that's all you can come up with.

[@TheSissie]

Greetings from the Netherlands and a huge Elbow fan!

[@mightyV444]

Ohhhhh, it's THAT song! 😄 Took me a moment to remember where I'd heard it before, after the first few bars with that violin melody sounded very, very familiar to me: The Corrs from Ireland had done a live cover of this a few years ago, and it also was the first version I'd heard of this song. Nice one! 😊

[@Katehowe3010]

The lead singer's favourite band is Talk Talk. He considers their last two albums to be as important as the moon landings. I don't like Elbow, but Guy Garvey knows what's what?

[@mightyV444]

Cool! 😃👍 Even though it's TT's 'The Colour Of Spring' I regard as their most important (to me) album 😊 By the way, the first time I'd heard this here Elbow song was a cover version by The Corrs, a few years ago 😁

[@rorycanavan]

Thanks both, I saw Elbow live supporting U2 and they were note-perfect. For another review try "Grounds for divorce" off the same album.

[@sheldonhowells3083]

I fell in love with this song the very first time I heard it. I love the string arrangements. Guy Garvey writes some pretty good songs.

[@problemchimp4231]

A fine band...their Loneliness of a tower crane driver, is also rather beautiful.

[@bristolsonic]

Check this out live at Reading festival or Glastonbury festival then you'll understand why this is a festival anthem.

[@neilmccarthy5102]

I liked ‘6 words’ and (their cover of) ‘lullaby’ both quite emotive. ‘Grounds for divorce’ another great tune… very bluesy!

[@thesoupdragon112]

Actually loving your reactions to many great songs/bands so much so I've finally subscribed 😊

[@hanierfamily]

Glad you like them!

[@robertreape]

This is taken form an outstanding album,some riot is really worth a listen.

[@TheRevWillNotBeTelevised]

The live version of this is mixed better. I think it's performed at the big room at Abbey Road. Much more dynamics and feeling. Also if you look at the lyrics you will gain a better appreciation.

[@franckbizouard3357]

Elbow is an awesome band. Love them. Got all albums. This song is their best. You MUST try the Live in Glastonbury, it's extraordinary!!!

[@gjh9299]

this band is spectacular, try Magnificant, she says. They have a huge catalog of music.Youll start hearing them on tv shows

[@chrislc35]

another huge uk band.

[@colrhodes377]

Guy Garvey is still very much around. A highly talented musician and singer.

[@Sandy-dd4le]

Never have been a fan and probably never will, but, Guy Garvey does a pretty good radio show on BBC 6 Music that i heartily recommend.

[@ukovertkill]

You have got to watch there live performances at Glastonbury or Hyde Park

[@jackbarnes8037]

Shout out to the Bury lads!🍺🤪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@colrhodes377]

Pronounced Berry!

[@SpikeMatthews]

There are quite a few songs I class as 'joyful' (Walking on Sunshine, Mister Blue Sky, Mmm-Bop), but it's quite another thing to make a song that is powerful in the sense of empowerment or motivation. This song definitely has that quality; you can almost feel yourself standing straighter and prouder as it reaches the final chorus stage. If you fancy that kind of tune, John Denver is one of the best artists to go for: check out 'The Eagle and the Hawk' for a prime example.

[@VeteranHedonist]

Greetings from Burnley, North West England. If you're reacting to Elbow, you should try "Starlings" live. It's a beautiful, feel good song.

[@allanfreeman4267]

THIS MAN COULD SING THE BIBLE

[@OzarkTroutBum]

One of my Elbow favorites is Bones Of You.

[@malcolmbell5266]

There is a live studio recording of this which is amazing, but I'd love to see you do some more from them. So this is obviously a love song. Next you should check their divorce song from the same album, called Grounds for Divorce

[@mickymoz1]

Elbow - powder blue

[@rosenfield10]

I'll suggest "Magnificent She Said," "Lippy Kids," "My Trouble," and "White Noise, White Heat."

[@user-cs4fg1rm5k]

I think Mr. Hanier may be confused. This is not a heavily compressed album, quite the contrary. It is noted that this album contains very soft passages as well as loud ones (dynamics) like a classical recording which typically has no compression. It has a Turn Me Up certification due to its lack of compression. It sounds like a live concert out of the box.

[@JonnyInfinite]

DR 7 average.....

[@kevindobson6568]

Cant wait for my request

[@martindavis4632]

Now check their live stage version from Glastonbury or with the bbc orchestra it will blow you away

[@stevecalvert5212]

Good choice other classics imho are Any Day Now. Newborn and My Sad Captains

[@malcolmbell5266]

For a more gentle sound from them try, The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver, from the same album

[@paulmurphy4723]

I think I'd go against general consensus here and say that after their first two albums Elbow are 'ok'. Asleep in the Back (their debut) is their best album imo and from that Powder Blue & Red are my personal favs. gotta say though, for a band you might consider 'quiet' on record they don't half make a brilliant racket live!

[@paulmurphy4723]

and if you want more Northern England plus orchestra, please check out History by The Verve.

[@rdumontdebeque]

Agreed. Each Elbow release has been less interesting than the one before it. Still, I’m surprised they aren’t bigger in the U.S.

[@randdouglas5354]

@@rdumontdebeque Similar to why The Doves weren't embraced in U.S. also. Similar band.

[@whataboutme7174]

@@randdouglas5354 Doves 1st album is also their finest work imo, as for Elbow I rate The Take off & Landing & Everything from 2014 as some of their best work.

[@3allz]

Try at home: sing Hey Judes "Na na naa nanana - Heyyyy Juddee" on the ending section :D

[@timholder6825]

You like this, you'll like, Snow Patrol's, Run.

[@sianscott8091]

What does "the compression" mean??

[@thereunionparty]

I don't understand your issue with compression. I simply don't get what you're hearing that I'm not.

[@garytaylor-ty6xt]

He looks bored, it's a great positive tune up lifting..

[@AaronFielder-v3r]

nope, nothing else for you... everyone else, follow Elbow.

[@phillipjohngreenslade1333]

Safe as milk. Zzzzzzzz

[@Mr2stardiver]

this is why americans dont understand our music irish and english compression my hole she was lovin it

[@hanierfamily]

We're Canadian.

[@waynelatchu1161]

Compression ??l

[@gege4707]

compression is a little heavy, lol says the multi award winning youtuber

[@hanierfamily]

Just an opinion.
