Elbow - the absolute pinnacle of grown ups music

[@bagwipes]

I'm 14 and they've been one of my favourite bands for seven years. Just shows how they can attract audiences of any age...

[@milky7257]

@@bagwipes I'm only 20 and I've been a fan since 17! They are definitely an elegant band and turn off a lot of crazy teenagers I'd suspect. But Elbow are just amazing!

[@ameliorationstation7081]

I am 900. Been waiting a long time for a band like them.

[@haventhebeast6050]

Ive listened to elbow seince 4 years old

[@FloydFloyd-ot5eo]

Heard that

[@ebb8980]

Each time I hear this beautiful creation I cry since losing my father. How you have moved the bleakness of the woodwinds into warmth with the piano and bass. This is such human beauty from all of you. Thank you.

[@paulchaplin73]

Elbow and Wilco, for me are just THE finest songsmiths. Bands that set a mood and tell a story so well.

[@ElliottClarkson]

I wish so many people who are in my life now - especially my kids - had the chance to meet my grandad, my hero. This encapsulates that beautifully. Not the first time I've shed a tear to an Elbow song. x

[@ianwilliams2387]

Yes amazing how music holds a link and memories of the past.

[@deketk]

It is palpable, powerful stuff. Lippy kids gets me every time....Guy's talent is out of this world

[@IDBuzzSteve]

@@deketk “it’s palpable, powerful stuff” …nailed it David. No more need be said.

[@wrexshunt]

If you loved him which I am sure you did and he you then they will definitely know him because he is a part of you due to the feeling of love . Feel it and know it. It is true . Best wishes

[@dannjp75]

If he was half the man that my grandad was you have my upmost sympathy. Mine passed 30 years ago and I still miss him terribly

[@vasgeza]

all those hesitant and seemingly random, meandering notes that eventually find their way home......... magic, pure magic

[@joannatuttle5895]

i'm very happy to find a kind soul at the bottom of a cruel story

[@klaushoffmann8088]

What a great tune, simply sublime. Elbow get better and better, fantastic. Guy's voice is one of those rare voices that could sing you the telephone book and it would still be awesome.

[@MD-ru5vs]

I think you are right. I know them since 2004 or so and they get better and better all the time.

[@paulking406]

His face at 3.50, says it all ... floors me completely. A song of stunning beauty.

[@JonClark-y6q]

Well spotted.

[@idomeir4963]

זה אחד מהשירים היפים ביותר ששמעתי

[@JonW9999]

As beautiful as Guy’s voice and the lyrics are the combination and melodic synchronisation of the two woodwind instruments through the song is musical genius.

[@cameronmoss1999]

Agreed. The layers of bass clarinet carry the song effortlessly

[@BowieShefford]

This song makes me think of my dad.... he never met my wife, or any of my children, but I know they would have loved him and I know he would have adored them.... and it breaks my heart every time, but I'm glad that it does...

[@logibearlifts3454]

Amazing, to all those we wish we could dance with again.

[@dannjp75]

My wife-to-be will be walking down the aisle to this, 2 months today. Can’t wait, it’s going to the best day ever…😍

[@swingset1969]

God, that's just beautiful.

[@dedielelanorico7005]

The roses are heavy With rain and for ages Veil after veil And the pictures are whispering The ones we belong to Caught in forever Startled and proud all laughing together And babe if you'd met him I picture you'd sit Blasting my wisdom With two-barrelled wit Then he'd steal you for dancing And you'd lend him your arms And I'd stooge for your laughing And you'd twirl in the chaos of charm The roses are heavy With rain and for ages Veil after veil And the pictures arе whispering He'd steal you for dancing And you'd lеnd him your arms And I'd stooge for your laughing And you'd twirl in a chaos of charm

[@europoets]

9 brilliant albums in a row...no other band ever done this

[@swoopste]

Evrytime I listen to this song it brings tears to my eyes. Outstanding peice of art

[@beetlebum007]

I have the exact same thing with 'lippy kids'. This band just touches my soul differently than any other. (In a good way)

[@christopherkadishcreative7220]

This is a Sunday-morning-coffee-in-quaint- kitchen-sunlight-with-the-love-of-your-life song.

[@allymcbealsfan]

I couldn’t have said it better

[@davidstepanczuk]

What a wonderful evocative piece. Way to go.

[@frankiegeorge2353]

Listen through headphones to appreciate the true beauty of this song.

[@christopher1800]

So true... and high-end ones please, with a good soundstage. This entire album is brilliantly recorded.

[@farhangbook1]

There is so much lyrical beauty to what they do.

[@AnneKatrinVoss]

My God. Shivers. My song of the year. ♥️

[@FoxFox-i1c]

And the sublime arrangement of instruments. How the guitar and piano start at the same time. Almost colliding but then merging. And the reed section blowing this veil of sound carrying the song. Beautiful.

[@blackesteyes1133]

Watched them in Manchester on Wednesday night. As ever the band were phenomenal! Cheers Elbow!!! 😊

[@bentownsend4017]

Boooo ;)

[@ebb8980]

The warmth of the memories is enhanced by the embers of the woodwinds. And spare, poetic lyrics. Class. 🙏

[@cameronmoss1999]

Song of the year for me, hands down. A sublime piece of music. Timeless, sad, beautiful, I could listen to this for days.

[@davis123321123]

I love this song so much, I makes me cry everytime I listen, my cousin Chris took his life a few years ago and this is feels like it is written about him. Miss you Christopher x

[@leafclock24]

I'm just blown away by this... The lyrics, his voice, the emotion, oh my word...

[@ianwilliams2387]

Bloody hell listen to this track i am drifting away.

[@4321chanson]

Elbow have the key to my heart. They get me every time, I swear.

[@Reet64]

I am late to the Elbowsphere. A British acquaintance of mine introduced me to their music last year and what a gift it has been. The comfort of their sound bringing light to a dark time of pandemic and isolation. This is another beauty. Thank you.

[@frankiegeorge2353]

You have a lot of joyful catching up to do!

[@Reet64]

@@frankiegeorge2353 I've been working at it.

[@bellerose3460]

Chills, absolute chills. Those first few piano notes put such a lump in my throat. So bittersweet, so beautiful. Thank you for the wonder you bring to the world, Elbow.

[@3eahor3e]

This is why we love you Elbow, your words back to you from my heart. "What am I without you!"

[@corporari]

tonight I can't help but click to replay, again and again, ...

[@christineterry3079]

This track makes me feel happy ..

[@davecatalyst]

What a beauty this one is

[@alexanderdewaelenva]

Fridays is for drinking to the Seldom Seen Kid

[@gamblingman]

Elbow just seem to write one amazing song after another...cant stop playing this

[@oscarbravof3378]

Beautiful song, I mean this is a real piece of art. And the voice of Guy is amazing too.

[@sharonmasters6004]

Just lovely really lovely xxx

[@timelwell7002]

Amazing song.

[@nicholasgoodwin8685]

Brilliant Elbow, brilliant and well ... simply breathtaking. If tracks like these didn't exist there'd be nothing to look forward to. Thank you

[@TheCharlton0]

Wow. I can’t get over the warmth that radiates from Elbow’s music. Brilliant track

[@roseczyrny]

Wow! Just Wow!! I am new to Elbow and Guy.... beautiful poetry, music and his voice..... Blows me away

[@ajpdeschenes]

If you like this, I suggest you to listen to the album of the same name (The Seldom Seen Kid) especially songs "Friend of Ours" and "Starling". "Starling" can be unsettling at first but it's quite a beautiful track. Also, can't find enough solace in a song like Scattered Black and Whites!

[@FoxFox-i1c]

Absolutely stunning. Masterpiece.

[@christopherelliott6137]

Their best single in years!!! Welcome back, boys.

[@jurgennaeve3897]

oh my God, this is just a beautiful piece of music and the great voice of Guy.

[@inverterville]

I find it incredible that the quality of their music never wains. Album after album are full of divine music. they have set the bar so high than all I can say is in my opinion Elbow are the greatest band on the planet right now

[@lionsmouth11]

Beauuuuutiful. Cheers everyone.

[@professormoore4876]

This song reminds me my father-in-law so much. RIP. Great stuff.

[@amanwithaperm5142]

I'm gonna have a drink to this song, preferably on monday

[@anthonygreen4659]

At the risk of repeating myself….. beautiful song, wondrous lyrics, a song that will mean so much to so many and with Guy’s voice, it’s all just perfect.

[@elainemcgillivray5643]

Beautiful- Sir you are a poet who captures the essence of everyone who loves or has been loved heart. Thank you x

[@ianwilliams2387]

Yes a poet who sings

[@VinylCollectorJames]

So it’s settled, just hand them the Mercury Prize again. This is stunning work. Among your finest ever songs.

[@JayGamelin]

I am genuinely weeping. I needed this today. This is a good thing.

[@ukdub]

Back to their best, a beautiful song, absolutely stunning. 👏👏

[@neilbowers6956]

I love Elbow, there I said it and have since their first album came out. Guy Garvey has the perfect voice and the lyrics they write together just come together so well. Not many bands can reduce me to tears but these guys do.

[@markcondon8166]

Absolutely brilliant, elbow have the most pure sound, and they appreciate all musical instruments.....this song is simply majestic.

[@JDEstradaWriter]

Ah this is just beautiful and reminds me of last year with the Elbow Rooms where Fridays gained a new meaning and something to look fwd to. Gorgeous track and definitely inspires me to finish several projects to start another novel. Not often music moves one that much so kindest thanks

[@sharkyrider6444]

in these times - this makes me feel that all will be ok ----thanks guys

[@paulmcdonald7041]

Beautiful and reflective... Brings a lump to my throat. 👏👏

[@tinderproductions]

To me, this is their most successful musical achievement to date. It says so much, yet with so few words. I feel emotional every time I hear it. Perhaps this new album, marks a new chapter in Elbows ongoing quest to create music that moves people. I have a suspicion this will last the ages.

[@rockylincoln8418]

Absolutely beautiful, such talent and lyrics that are sheer poetry! Timeless stuff!

[@amyroper2112]

This is just the most beautiful song. The woodwind harmonies>dissonance>resolution chords are so unusual! Then you add in the words and it is just spine-tingling awesome. Can't wait to hear the whole album!

[@hahamasala]

Yes so many layers and such complexity that works amazingly well together.

Sun rises. Dark clouds part. and look New Elbow music.

[@farhangbook1]

So true. With every listen my heart breaks yet I can’t get enough. How fitting they recorded this in an empty theater as well. Simply amazing.

[@juanitacurrey9466]

OMG! That was not what I was expecting to hear!! How utterly, utterly sublime. I think I just died and went to Heaven, strung along on Guy Garvey's voice...Ohhhhhhhh.

[@Blazeslayer394]

I could just get lost in Guy Garvey’s voice

[@Lucy-chops]

I often do

[@Carlottax7]

Beautiful. If you've never seen Elbow perform live then I can highly recommend that you do. They are always excellent and Guy just has a magic touch with the audience.

Absolutely magnificent!!!
