Elbow - The Bones Of You (Official Video)

[@rojojosam]

"When out of the doorway the tentacles stretch of a song that i know and the world moves in slow-mo like the first cigarette of the day" these are lyrics,this is music!!

[@mauryrules]

"it goes straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day" that line is absolutely magical!

[@ButterflyBlanket]

I just love his voice. It's perfect, and gives such an impacting emotion to the song.

[@hectoracevedo4545]

Reminds me of Gary Brooker

[@monshiux]

This has to be one of the best new bands all around the world. I´m from mexico and I founded them by accident. Great music!

[@kamlawilliams6549]

One summer over a decade ago I stumbled onto this song and the first time I heard it I cried so hard I had to go lay down. It spoke to a love I thought I had that was only a dream. We all deal with the memories that haunt us and this song is *perfect* in expressing that. I love Elbow.

[@puscifer10000]

Effin unreal. Elbow is the most underrated band of musicians--true artists in every sense of the word. Their song constructs are flawless, lyrics poetic, everything....they are simple amazing.

[@Rickylovesyouall]

This is the best song on the album! Which is saying something cause the whole album is unbelievably awesome!

[@mytfew]

my question is, why are these bands not so well known in the states? they need to be played on a big scale and get the exposure they deserve.

[@obxmay]

I never...wow. This song is chilling and prophetic. Brutal story of regret of love lost. Live today. Every day is a gift - especially if it's a day spent with someone you truly love. Work is necessary but not to the point of sacrificing your soul. If you're lucky enough to have solid work/life balance, tell your SO how much you love them. Then show them. I believe that is what this song is about.

[@tottenhamdon]

Quality will always get the recognition it deserves; this song is a classic example of subtle but deadly songwriting - well done, guys!

[@KarlaMay]

The lyrics of this song blow my mind. They're simply brilliant.

[@Horsehockey105]

Wow! Never heard of this band before but just saw them in Montreal this past weekend at the Osheaga Festival and I was really very impressed. Good songs, very catchy and melodic, great instrumetation, and this guy has a great voice. I still have their songs stuck in my head. Just keeping that great Manchester tradition alive, I suppose. Thank you for a great show, 'Elbow'.

[@ukmachloop]

The guys live near me in Radcliffe/Prestwich and they are a great set of lads. Down to earth and extremely grounded. They deserve all the success they are getting. A great band in the true sense of the word.

[@konatadusk]

Ever since a college friend of mine introduced me to this band, i always come back to listen to this, Audience with the pope, and others made by this marvelous band. I only wish my uncle, who loved these kinds of bands, could have heard this marvel.

[@surmajkalot]

Brilliant. Last night I saw them @club Watt in Rotterdam. I heaven't listened to Elbow in a while. Just so I'd be suprised from every song they'd played. In the car on the way to R-dam they played this song on Studio Brussels. Few hours later I saw a very good concert of the gents. I especially enjoyed the talks in between songs. About Stevie Wonder and marriage thingies.. It was fun. Elbow are definitely the best indie band at the moment for me. Cheers!

[@RaeInMn]

"Drowning commitments like cats in a sack..." What a great line. I love these guys. Great tune, great video...always eager to hear more. Haven't heard a song of theirs yet that I didn't like.

[@xDaZJMx]

My cousin was friends with him from Playschool and I got to meet him in Manchester while he was visiting my cousin, and I got my guitar signed. He is F**king brilliant!

[@fumps]

THis is the first band in years that have truely blown me away, it has restored my faith that real fresh talent stil exist in this world. I'm proud of these guys.

[@Jmillzx]

First real band of my generation. These guys are gonna be legends.

[@karlaanne]

i understand this song on a level so deeply it terrifies me. guy garvey is brilliant. heartbreakingly beautiful. this song touches something dark and aching inside me. i could write pages about it. definitely one of my favorite songs in the past few years.

[@scarletttoor657]

Me too. Difficult to explain, but painful.

[@yawnfest]

I absolutely agree that Elbow is amazing...and yes! I am reminded of Peter Gabriel...also a bit of Blue October. Love Elbow!!

[@martyleach]

Saw these guys in Sydney last month....blew the rest of the line up away (V Festival)....recognition at last...

[@spectrum99122]

Saw this band in Wolverhampton, probably the best and most professional gig i have ever seen. Everything they do seems so, spot on

[@jellydrop]

Totally agree! Come to the East Coast ELBOW!

[@mohanicus]

its weird!!!!!! this is one of those songs that will be stuck in your head hours after you hear it. even on the album its one of those songs that you will always play again and again. that amazing music for ya!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CLAYTONATE]

these guys have been one of my favoroute bands for at least 6 years. I do agree ppl only found out about these guys when they played with bbc orchestra and when they featured on nme. But they guys are amazing....

[@PhilipMoran-m8r]

Sad at mo someone close passed away .for a good reason I feel guilty.long story but this song helps .God bless you d

[@FeralChuck]

I would absolutely go wherever they were playing in the states! They have a different sound from a lot of the crap on the airwaves nowadays. Awesome group in my book...

[@ozzie2920]

Wonderful song ........... Guy Garvey deserves all the acollades coming his and the bands way . could this possibly be " his finest hour "lets hope there is more to come

[@NerdyyBitchh]

Elbow are one of the best bands atm... They're just brilliant. Original and really catchy =D Love them.

[@joke2011]

the song that got me into Elbow was grounds for devorus. i now know that Elbow has a good deal of talent

[@bsartistify]

Incredible lyrics and melody. Just brilliant

[@sylvianblue]

His voice is great - kind of Peter Gabriel-esque. Another great original song from Elbow.

[@MrsPredNZ]

I've liked these guys for a long time, since I first heard asong on a student radio stationin NZ and i've just realised after going out to find some more of there studd, this guy can sing, I love everything about the way he can sing. I'm going to look for there cd's now. Great band.

[@BurgundyPlush]

Just discovered this song from the Abbey road documentary and i've played it over and over since then. WOW....what talent!!!Just fabulous!!!

[@iownagreyhound]

one of the best videos around and i CANNOT get this song off repeat it never gets old

[@luxdomini]

I love this song...They do not play them yet here in my country but thank you really, for posting this.

[@chromaticmissy]

Too beautiful.. leaves me speechless everytime I hear it..

[@hera2511]

so many years since I've been in love with an idea or a song. good times are here again!

[@sonicwingnut]

"And I can't move my arm, for fear that you will wake" great lyric that, surprised it dosen't turn up more often. That must happen so much to so many people it should really be a complete cliche by now but well done elbow you got away with it. This whole album's great, seems to be some random argument going on below about humming things but well, I find meself humming black metal songs and breakcore bass lines n all sorts, this ones EASY. And canny catchy, that synth bass line's a beastie!

[@Ukiby3000]

This song was already good enough without a video. Now, it just became amazing.

[@JoeStivey]

It's a very pure voice - he hits the notes dead on without sliding.

[@fallenlids]

Grande Elbow, que banda señores, que banda!! Me enamore de ellos completamente...

[@dabruuzer]

I have to echo your comments, you put it better than I ever could.

[@dabruuzer]

I am in awe of this band - wish I had discovered them a few years ago. I hope they come to Canada at some point.

[@Czerniakowska]

There's no substitute for hands-on experience.

[@jcrm05]

Beautiful video (superb Illumination!), song and band!

[@musictimeallthetime]

goes straight to my head, like the first cigarette of the day - BRILLIANT

[@spectrum99122]

the yardstick to my mind by which other good indie bands can be judged. But they've set the bar very high indeed.

[@los3weyes]

I love Elbow!!! greetings from Mexico

[@mutillidie]

Elbow's lyrics are always amazing :)

[@ijebusjebus]

image on image like beads on a rosary. AWESOME line. godamn. love these guys!

[@dsharps0]

Saw them at All Points West. Phenomenal.

[@FomBBKs]

I would love it if Elbow came to the states! I was surprised to hear Grounds for Divorce in a car commercial here in the U.S. They are getting really popular. Awesome video.

[@benevolentwisdom]

man ive goosebumbs, the plinking guitar reminds me of an old sega game

[@ImMrBrightside1984]

i have to admit id never really give elbow a chance but then i seen them performing the seldom seen kid album at abbey road and i adore the album its so addictive and i love Guy's vocals such a talent.... i very much look forward to the next album

[@FeralChuck]

Superb! Come to the states guys...Would love to see ya'll live!!!!

[@Longboardsinglefin]

Just for a change, people - can we recognise how sublimely fantastic this music is BEFORE someone in the band dies? Know what I mean?

[@brentcrude8565]

Never understood why this song didn't just explode chart-wise. To me it's a much more superior effort than "One Day Like This" and "Grounds for Divorce", both lyrically and musically.

[@pcoll04]

"15 mins of fame" ....LOL. A misnomer of mammoth proportions. God youtube comments are great aren't they. Elbow finally receiving the plaudits they richly deserve after years of hard work and amazing songwriting and live performances all over the world.

[@DemonTaoist]

obsessed with this ridiculously awesome song.

[@Snippsie]

Best. Video. Ever. For the best music ever.

[@ritchyfox]

I started listening to the Seldom Seen Kid in my car and I haven't made it past this one, track 2 Bones of You. and its you, and its May.... top class!

[@remmshaft]

ahh Bury, lifelong Bury FC fan here. ;) same here mate, beautiful song by a quality band

[@twochordcool]

And I think I've fallen in love! The woman is GORGEOUS!

[@dutchknighty]

This song goes straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day!!

[@karlaanne]

ive commented on this video so many times but i always think of something new to say. there is so much pain and torment at 2:08. it gets me EVERY FREAKING TIME. this is one of the more emotionally raw songs i've ever heard in my life.

[@KimClouse]

Songwriting from another dimension. Love it!!!

[@zJoriz]

That's a bloody brilliant clip. Great song too.

[@weeeeoooow]

Love the skippy drums and simple guitar strumming ....the lyrics flow beautifully and descriptive....love this song! Clever video too!

[@holamissmusica]

beautiful. just beautiful.

[@dillydean]

his voice is hauntingly beautiful

[@seanolly]

I love his voice! I'm in love!

[@JasonRadley]

Who said I didn't like them? They aren't bad. Of the songs of theirs that I've heard, Switching Off is my favourite. But their 15 minutes of fame will soon be over.

[@kikissan1]

...no idea how ....but am going to see them 2012!!!

[@MaddLagger]

i just stumbled acros these guys last night.....holy shit they rock havnt heard a song i was like soso

[@uwuvision3211]

I saw this video for the first time a couple days ago and i'm... i'm not surprised. It's quality, as always.

[@bollywoodist]

omg the song! omg the video! it's ingenious!

[@mohanicus]

a pure genious of a track.

[@IOANNA333]

the video suits the song perfectly!!!

[@chandlerbrujo]

yet another great song...video reminds me of Lars Von Triers 'dogville'.

[@wander910]

Danza 1,2,3 apoya tus pies en las notas, reacciona, enloquece y acreciente tu ritmo, basta solo mencionar que la conmoción y de algun modo la locura me invade al escuchar esta abrumadora canción de quienes posiblemente sean los creadores de concepto más grande de esta decada.

[@HansKater]

Goosebumbs

[@eddie11111]

very underated. I'm glad they won the mercury prize because its got them the recognition they deserve. However i really wanted British sea power to get it, because they are so very underated. Maybe one day!!

[@claire123claire]

Absolutely amazing song. Even more amazing video xxx

[@misterpunk]

this is a great melodic song, reminds me a bit of Echo and the Bunnymen circa 'Ocean Rain' in 1984 - esp. the sound of the guitar and drums - great vocal delivery as well mind.

[@remzyblood]

wonderful song, great voice, only discovered them 2 days ago, but i'm hooked

[@deruigpatricia6377]

Same ;-)

[@mattjohnston1992]

Cooool, i saw them at the coldplay concert in toronto, they opened for them :0 Awesome concert

[@Angelinaframe]

i saw these guys live, they were awesome!

[@Cha0sB1k3r]

such a freakin brilliant song.

[@ccmaster86]

*J. B. Smoove runs in* Elbow don't need no words, don't even need no music!

[@gifthorse9779]

ccmaster86 huh????

[@TheBishie]

I play them all the time on my station and we're Vancouver based! But sadly we're an online progressive rock station as opposed to something on the FM band. Ah well - fantastic band. They're live recording at Abbey Road with the BBC orchestra and choir is seriously breathtaking.

[@ThePinawela]

this is a beautiful song, I love Elbow

[@jordish]

awesome band, awesome song, awesome vid! cant wait to see them on tuesday

[@ThistleofScotland]

Thank you, the last one so.

[@rymhreads]

what a voice!

[@prchung]

Damn fine video. Wish they were coming to Dallas with Coldplay. Such a shame.

[@policyalternatives]

me too! they were great!

[@Smellycat91]

Fantastic!!!

[@vampirelovewerewolf]

brilliant video and song! xx
