elbow - Flying Dream 1 (Official Video)

[@piqueblinders7948]

Every song from this album so far has been completely gorgeous and calm. There’s something wonderful about having total certainty that a track will be great before you hear it, and Elbow have never, ever disappointed

[@panchamparasar]

❤️❤️❤️

[@blackesteyes1133]

So true.

[@buxycat]

Those backing singers are sublime.

[@scottprelewicz6792]

The way they all hang on the "aiiiirrrrrr" is majestic

[@CiderHead]

I will never be able to put into words how much i adore this band. I fell in love with them the day i heard Jo Wiley introduce Newborn back in 2002/3 it blew me away. I love loads of bands for different reasons but Elbow will always be my No1. Mr Garvey i salute you ❤

[@philwilliams1371]

STILL one of the best bands around and Guy Garvey STILL one of, if not the best, vocalist ever. Superb

[@hilarylamb7200]

Elbow has always been "our band" for me and my husband and this album is absolutely beautiful. Thank you Guy and Co

[@emgee44]

It’s nice to know that there’s still bands out there making music for grown-ups.

[@bagwipes]

I'll never understand the excessive use of this term. I can guarantee you they have a pretty large young people audience

Wonderful, beautiful, gentle. Brings echoes of Scattered Black and Whites, and no detriment for that

[@amyroper2112]

I can't believe how much I love this band - they are a perfect calming influence in the stormy sea of life! Just pure joy.

Eloquently put.

A gorgeous gentle release. Would expect nothing less from the most beautiful band on the planet.

[@mfuentes3113]

This guys are destined to stick together just to make us so happy!!!

[@sicktrick33]

So beautiful! Love the creativity of the backing singers and the double bass. Elbow have amazed me with every song they've written since I first heard them at Virgin Megastore on London's Oxford Street to promote the release of Asleep in the Back. I feel as though I've grown up with them.

[@UKSkol]

My mind is a mess just now and this just gave me super chilled Friday vibes. I feel calmer. Thank you for just the right song at just the right time.. as always

[@panchamparasar]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@wendyrual7179]

Yes,.....they do it every time 🙏💜

[@IDBuzzSteve]

Wow, this is shaping up to be the album of the decade! Of course it’s all highly subjective but for me, Elbow are currently without equal.

[@rr7firefly]

Scott Simon interviewed Guy Garvey on this morning's NPR "Weekend Edition." A lovely human being. After I heard the interview I had to investigate Elbow. I am very glad I did.

[@17relics]

Thank you Elbow, as listeners we are blessed

[@jensgriebel4426]

Levitating my soul.....good that we have met.....truly superb

[@barryconway]

Lovely, lovely, lovely. Very much looking forward to pulling on the cans to listen to this whole album.

[@panchamparasar]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@temple13]

I love when i wake-up and have a notification saying new Elbow video posted. What a beautiful song.

[@pintofmild8359]

New Elbow music is always a pleasure. Been a fan for 20 years, I'm going through some big changes in life right now and these new tracks will frame this for me forever...especially the piano at 2:59! Mr Potter...you are a genius

[@vladdrak1000]

Insanely beautiful song. Love this album.

[@AmenBreak8]

Everything about this song is sublime. But what makes Elbow special, above other excellent musicians, is the uniqueness of some of their instrument / vocal melodies that sit behind Guy's voice. The backing vocals in this (heavenly). The sullen lone trumpet and crack of the wood blocks on My Sad Captains. The rolling percussion and minimalist piano on Gentle Storm. It's so unique, and makes them stand out compared to other mainstream bands who struggle to deviate from having everything being heard at the same time. A sweeping statement, I know... And Guy's vocals are alright too, I guess.

[@riotambopata2772]

I think Mark Hollis would be enjoying Elbow's musical progression.

[@nevillekinsley5610]

Beautiful. Guy is the modern day Beethoven. Lines like walking on walls. An overcoat colder. Evokes memories and cultural perculuraties of Northern Britain. Thank you.

[@Weatherface]

Such a subtle arrangement. Craig Potter you are quite a musician. The chord shifts you pull are familiar but always with something else there that’s uniquely you. The piano phrasing in the section at 2:59, my God. I left northern Britain a long time ago now but this pulls me right back in the best way.

[@neilworroll9278]

Couldn’t agree with you more. Those lyrics and Garveys dulcet tones manage to reconnect me to my northern roots like nothing else ever could.💕🇦🇺

[@ilou224]

Pink Floyd, Arcade Fire, David Byrne, Elbow. My inspiration to get through life and hard days. Thanks Elbow ❤️.

[@noellem7103]

Best band ever. Thank you for reminding me to stick around.

[@Carvalhouk]

How beautiful is this...

[@tomattime]

Feels like it has always existed, they just gently reached out and released it from the Ether. Magnificent

So good. No other band can do this. Amazing.

[@74lisaevans]

Once again my soul is soothed. Just beautiful.

[@moragmckay7673]

Whether it's Guy Garvey's Sunday show, Finest Hour on BBC 6 Music (of which I've saved dozens of hours on my set-top box), or Elbow's albums, I always have somewhere to turn if I'm stressed, have a migraine or feel unwell in other ways or have been having trouble sleeping. I know that sounds like an insult, but is an acknowledgement of how deeply special they are to me. I do listen when I'm more alert and engaged as well and enjoy finding a whole new aspect and richness to the experience; lyrics like rich paintings and Guy Garvey's gift for story-telling and quiet humour.

[@rickdasilva8351]

Another beautiful classic by a band that is so adept at listening to hearts and minds before writing and performing songs that touch hearts. I became a fan just about 20 years ago and there are so many “go to” songs for feeling connection and grace. Add Flying Dream 1 to the list. Thank you, Elbow.

[@bringmeknitting844]

It's a while since I've looked forward to a new Elbow as much as this one. All three tracks so far are gorgeous, and Six Words in particular. Just beautiful.

[@frankiegeorge2353]

Beautiful!

[@blackesteyes1133]

WOW, I'm about to spontaneously explode with excitement in a minute. 3 of my favourite bands all releasing new music. Saw these boys a few weeks ago in Manchester and as always they were absolutely sublime. Loving the new music! Never change Elbow, you mean the world to me.

[@ToniHinton]

I'm always looking for new music and since you've already proven you have excellent taste 😃 I'm curious who the other 2 are?

[@blackesteyes1133]

😂 Thank you. The other bands are Riverside, the polish Prog-rock band and the mighty Porcupine Tree who have released a new song after a 12 year hiatus. Very different from Elbow, but awesome in their own way. 🤘

[@robinstreets1792]

@@blackesteyes1133 My brother put me on to Porcupine Tree a few years ago, at first I thought he was winding me up, I thought who the hell calls a band Porcupine Tree, he's y just made it up! 😂. Very glad I checked it out though, great band, along with Steven Wilson's solo stuff, superb. 👍

Amazing work as always! Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers from South Wales, NY, USA. - chaz

[@jasoneisenmenger6165]

They always seem to know what we need. Well done.

[@benjaminhorton8013]

as each of these songs have been released, I listened and thought "ok, chill decent tunes so far" but nothing really sparked anything. Two nights ago, I played these three new songs on repeat to be more familiar with them. I am now addicted. These songs are brilliant! Subtle instrumentation here, a beautiful melody there, background wind instruments and background hums swell and swell and give me goosebumps now. Loving this new album so far!! I love all their work, but this is sublime!

[@kayjayr]

Why does this calm my heart and mind ? Because it s Elbow, of course. Amazingly Wonderful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@willt1377]

My favourite so far from the new album. Shades of 'Scattered Black & Whites'. They've yet again achieved great things with very simple music and sublime lyrics. If they ever remake 'The Snowman'...

[@Ed30675]

Scattered black and whites my favourite elbow song.. class.. especially live..

[@lethiapage4767]

I found Elbow about 6mos ago when something from little fictions came through my playlist. I listened to trust the sun about a hundred times in a row and really loved that whole album. This was right before audio vertigo came out so i have also been enjoying that one...baloo baloo baloo! I work my way slowly through a catalog so this has been the next one on my list. Im struck by how sophisticated it is...very jazzy and such pristine vocals. Its easy on the ears but the chord progressions are just bonkers. And also blown away how different each album is. This lead vocalist is just perfect. I hear a little scouse in there that reminds of Paul McCartney. 😊
