[@ericbachman8138]

It makes me happy that Guy Garvey doesn't make his bed.

[@johndanielpalmer]

2023 and this is still amazing. A tear to a glass eye. “We took the town to town last night we kissed like we invented it” ❤

[@jroar123]

Elbow will be remembered hundreds of years from now as one of the greatest bands of all time. Thanks!

[@1mchristy]

Perhaps my favorite Elbow song.... Lyrics soaking with romance, wispy drums, swelling strings, shimmering piano, swaying guitar, strolling groove...inducing dreams of being under the moon with a soulmate. Thank you ❣️ 😊

[@coalitionfordigitalnarratives]

It's a perfect song!

[@canoemandan]

Damn right I’m here for the notification. What a song this is! This band is everything to me. You are an amazing bunch of people. And to whoever reads this, I hope you have an amazing day :)

[@JDEstradaWriter]

Likewise and a half :)

[@BenEurope]

Thank you. I will and so should you.

[@nicolabeck1221]

Same to you 😊😊

[@LittleSpLy]

canoemandan you too have a fantastic day

[@MrJunglewhite101]

Namaste

[@DudeCETV]

There’s romantic lyrics, then, this master piece. The first two verses, oh my god.

[@mcmSEA]

That gorgeous arpeggio in E that unites the whole song, with Guy Garvey's vocals riding the thermoclines above the verses and chorus. Magical.

[@martinhuxter9424]

One of the most beautiful love songs ever. Just perfect 🥰

[@davidgreen3694]

Magnificent as ever. I'd like to request The Loneliness of A Tower Crane Driver please - fav song ever.

[@NCfirefighter527]

I was about to put the same thing and then I saw your comment!

One never gets fed up with listening to this, tears every time !

NO IT'S JUST THESE ONIONS I'M CHOPPING

[@seanbarron2890]

You're not chopping onions!

[@jockneyranger]

I’m not crying you are!!

[@Dave_Jee]

I think they release onion chem trails around 12pm every Friday in the UK

[@lanademon4377]

@@seanbarron2890 LOL!

[@johnqdarwin]

yup onions .

[@PietroLuigiBorgia]

It's so difficult to choose... I go for Trust the Sun, and The Everthere. Mirrorball has always been one of my favorites, I almost cried when you played it live, last Summer in Lucca. And I would never have thought that one day my name would have appeared in a video by you, Elbow... You really are making our days better, during the Age of Social Distancing (thank you, virus...). That's invaluable. Thank you so much! (And a special thanks to the guest musicians, too.) Greetings from Italy!

[@MrSlipstreem]

I can't stop listening to this. Beautifully performed, recorded and mixed. Please pass on our thanks to Gita, Rosie, Chris and Alex for helping make this as magical as it is. This has to be the best version I've ever heard! Is there any chance of releasing this version as an NHS fundraising single? Pretty please!

[@Shelby1960623]

What a wonderful moment that I can LOOP! You ALL are Real Life ANGELS!

[@UKSkol]

this song means more to me than I can ever really put into words. this is sublime boys. thank you

[@mattvenn3332]

Lovely. If Elbow can make music like that in separate locations and have it sound so good, there's hope for us yet.

[@pierremaes5453]

PURE MAGIC ... More than a beautiful creation : an ABSOLUTE ANTHEM !

[@JDEstradaWriter]

Now that's a marvelous way to start any morning. Thank you for the slice of brightness and stunning performance from everyone. This song is super special to me and part of a playlist I listen to for a work in progress because hey, a writer can dream about being able to adapt a work to film and recommend the soundtrack, eh? :) Thanks for yet another slice of amazing and I'll stick my latest requests, New York Morning and still think we need to let the sun inside, so "Ribcage". My best to all of you and cheers to all fellow Elbow fans. May we one day be able to share a pint at a show or after and toast to good vibes and great times.

[@deannecardona8346]

Wow! Love the addition of the strings...and just wow!! Brought a tear....way to make quarantine Friday happy and sad at the same time!!! Guy your voice!! From the angels I'll tell you. You all stay safe and play "One Day Like This" next and I will buy you a pint at the pub....all of you 😘..and I did notice two more Hawaiian shirts...is this a trend??😂🤣😆and Guy make your bed!

[@searching4narnia436]

Hello from Las Vegas, NV! I would love to hear Seven Veils! I was supposed to see you in your hometown April 1st for my 30th anniversary present from my husband. Completely gutted. I can't begin to tell you what your music means to me and my 2 girls. Every time we've seen you in L.A. and Oakland, CA we just hold each other and cry for the entire concert. Truly, it's a spiritual experience for us!!

[@noelmarkham]

So good - Magnificent (She Says) next?

[@BernadetteVielhaber]

Thank you - this made me so happy! (And thanks to Alex, Gita, Rosie & Chris for joining)

[@mdr1353]

I don’t know of any other band creating such beautiful music during these unprecedented times. Thank god for Elbow and thank you Elbow! It’s music for our souls. I’d love to hear My Sad Captains!

[@howlsy6388]

Marvellous, wonderful that the strings were on. My request is again Captains please, one of my favourite songs ever. It seems very possible now that a larger group has been used so successfully in this one 🤞🏻

[@07Leebo]

Simply outstanding... Guy is a genius. But he is not the only one, the musical detail on this song & many more is breath taking. Thank you!

[@stratego77]

Unbelievable song. The best. How is it possible to dislike this?! Some people are just broken.

[@canoemandan]

As for requests , could you do grounds for divorce(either version) the birds,New York Morning,Magnificent,Loneliness of a tower crane driver, maybe white noise white heat obviously one day like this..., but tbh I’ll listen to any song from this amazing band

[@Paprika526]

Oh I would love a version of loneliness of a towercrane driver. Please?

[@canoemandan]

Jennifer Workman couldn’t have said it better myself. Seen them live once and would love to see them again

[@ColinDyas]

I’ve been around music all my life. I’ve mucked around in bands & even came close to some success, but it wasn’t to be. In that time, many great artists have written many great songs, but I've only heard three that are picture perfect (to me) in the beauty of their music & the imagery of their lyrics. Lovely Head by Goldfrapp, Ghosts by Japan and Mirrorball. You probably don’t play away much, but I’d love you to cover one of these. One even has some whistling! Maybe Harvest for the world too. A most apt record for such troubled times & perhpas my favourite track of all time. Maybe this request is left field, but even the tower crane driver had to get off the bus to cross the field once! Your Soulfully...

[@mattwatsonthesecrethelicopters]

My heart just swells and my eyes tear up whenever I listen to this song. X

[@meuhvache5289]

Merci ! Le talent, c'est quand y'a pas de différence entre une version live et une version CD. Ou alors, comme ici, quand c'est mieux en live qu'en CD. (et sinon, on en parle de la sensualité du batteur ? C'est magnifique :0 )

[@stuartbeveridge9016]

Oh, to be able to write a line like “We kissed like we invented it“

[@jaynetaylor2378]

O to have such an experience xx

[@cindalybarger9968]

Oh to be able to write this whole album. It’s extraordinary.

[@suecondon1685]

Or 'the city's sirens violins' 💞

[@evilclowntje]

You just did :)

[@garywarner9958]

That was delightful. I actually love five tracks more on the album which highlights just what a classic The Seldom Seen Kid is. Would love Kindling next, just voice and cello (no offence rest of you lovely people)!

[@coalitionfordigitalnarratives]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Thank you Elbow, much love from Wyoming, USA.

[@IDBuzzSteve]

Still gives me goosebumps. Poetry

[@martins9619]

The Birds, Lippy Kids, Magnificient (She Says), The Take Off And Landing Of Everything or Weather To Fly, please.

[@billwoodland9154]

Gorgeous. Hard to pick just one to request, I'll say Fly Boy Blue/Lunette

[@alexviccari4383]

I agree, one of my favourites

[@Feanor026]

I often come back here to watch this video to listen peacefully. You guys got one of your best (french) fans here in Japan if you want to come perform here someday.

[@bornflippy1]

No better band on the plant! I have loved Elbow since i first got "Asleep in the back" all those years ago...my desert island song is " Loneliness of a tower crane driver" please please please play that one fellas. Thank You for all of the amazing music you have given us. Your music is truly healing and utterly remarkable.

[@MrAg2803]

The best #elbowrooms offering you’ve done yet, in my humble opinion. My favourite Elbow song too! Gorgeous work, guys. I’d love to know how you put this all together! It’s amazing!

[@AdrianFeltham]

Was due to be seeing you guys tonight in Brighton - so sad it's all been pushed back, but what a consolation! Thank you so much for these posts, such a treat every few days. Weather To Fly, Puncture Repair (going back a bit!) or Dexter and Sinister would be amazing

[@melissawells6697]

The way you're adding musicians every week surely we're building up to Grace Under Pressure... We could all be in it :-)

[@seldomseenkid7381]

What a beautiful thought, especially in times like these

[@TheCashmanianDevil]

Perfect.

[@sarahthornton7828]

Count me in!

[@erichayes9707]

Thanks for this. Your music speaks to me on a level that no other band ever has and the album this track comes from helped me through the roughest part of my life.. Love and respect to you all.

[@shoryuken3305]

Absolutely and incredibly moving thank you all for sharing this gem , you are all beautiful.

[@warrenchrismas]

Beautiful people. Beautiful song. Thank you. I needed this.

[@barryhamilton7499]

Good Lord what a great band! Love what you do. Thanks and greetings from the State of Alabama in America. God Bless.

[@ArizonaRed]

I really love this man's voice.

[@leighbee27]

The lyrics in this song are just bloody everything. Perfection.

[@antonionavarrofontan7963]

Genial Guy con su banda, tambien muy seguida en España. Gran voz y grandes canciones

[@davegerrardiom]

Brilliant! It doesn't matter how many times you listen, every Elbow song seems to gets better each time. My 8 year old boy said today that Lewis Capsldi is his favourite singer but Elbow are his favourite songwriters. My Sad Captains next please. Or get John Grant to join in.

[@vwrestoman77]

This is my go to album when everyone else goes to bed. Elbow, your amazing!!

[@Hex72]

Okay... third time lucky... you guys are so good you've already performed everything I was hoping for! - Red - Lippy Kids - Dexter & Sinister - One Day Like This - The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver Much love from Brighton to you all.

[@uwuvision3211]

OH MY GOD!!! This weekend was meant to be the one where i saw you guys in concert, but of course that's been postponed so to see you playing one of my favourite songs EVER is just beautiful!!! (And I saw my name at the end, that made me smile!)

[@robh9581]

I loved this song and i was chuffed to see my name going up in the list of people who requested the song (It was actually listed twice so I'm taking this as a sign the song was done just for me and I'm discounting the possibility of a typo or there being 2 people called Rob H) My son Thomas Harrison, who is 6, is a massive Elbow fan and he looks forward to these songs every week. He'd like to hear My Trouble and would be very excited to see his name at the end of a video. Thanks for these songs each week. They are a little highlight to a tough lockdown. My family are in for the 12 week haul so we really appreciate it. Thanks again and stay safe. Rob.

[@ilabelle1]

I would be happy if you sang Mary Had a Little Lamb. I'm pretty surer it would be epic. It's a true joy listening to you guys. You're an amazing band. Thank you.

[@sararawar]

This made my day! As it's mine and my husband's 9 year wedding anniversary and we had our first dance to one of your most famous songs I'd like to request "One Day Like This". We still dance to it in the kitchen now!❤️

[@johngregory5377]

Can’t believe that we can’t get to see Elbow live until next year......please do Station Approach....I love that song

[@helendixon5186]

Absolutely made up when you did this the other day, even more made up to find my name in the credits of requestees! 🥰 You made my day on the day you posted it and my weekend and my heart melt just a little bit more for this special track. Thank you Elbow for your stunning lyrics and keeping us entertained in lockdown 🥰

[@SantiAraujo]

Fav song, never get tired of listen it. BEAUTIFUL. Thanks

[@gaby5254]

My favorite. Also the first Elbow song I ever heard.

[@christinepearson1169]

Fantastic. Just fantastic. Got a shiver down my spine

After watching you last night at Scarborough for the first time live this is relevant once again. Thank you 🙏❤️

It Makes me smile... Makes me cry...

I would still love to hear "Dear Friends" from you. So far, this has been an amazing showcase of your ongoing passion and talent. Hope to see you again in Berlin...I love you guys!!!

[@suecondon1685]

My heart just melted. O2 December 2012, a beautiful memory ♥

Gorgeous... Thank you. Station Approach or Puncture Repair would make my year and break my heart in that order.

Ok. So drummers r the unsung heroes of the songs everyone loves. Thanks so much Richard.

Awesome! Tower crane please, my life would be complete with the greatest minor key change in British music history.

[@efectomath]

Simply wonderful, love it !!! Rosie you fascinate me

[@Corricopat]

No social distancing here, just physical. God, oh God, I love Elbow! I drove from a Coldplay concert in Charlotte, NC, which you opened, listening to your CDs, singing out loud, out loud!

[@kelvinthomassinclair9340]

You're just showing off now😁😜😘🐝, beautiful as alwaysxxxx.

[@waltm716]

Every week another fantastic escape from the **** we now call normal. Thankyou Elbow. please come to Nottingham when you can X

Like you ever listen to a song and you get all tingly goosbumps on your arms? This does it EVERY TIME.

[@andrewjkirby]

So beautiful! This was our first dance at our wedding, a very special song. Switching off next please!

[@jroar123]

This is one of the best bands out there.

[@shavedskunk]

Hey guys, your music is like a blanket wrapping us up, helping us to feel safe and that everything will be okay. If not too much trouble, I would like to hear either My Sad Captains or New York Morning. Thanks for the melodies. x

[@HarkovsFolly]

Absolutely magnificent! One of my all time favourite songs. Another vote here for My Sad Captains next.

[@annamcknight9153]

Great way to start a Friday - Thanks so very much. Love the addition of strings. My sad captain or Powder blue, please.

[@MrShackleforth]

Fantastic performance by everyone. Amazed how even through the internet the synergy is so good. Thanks everyone for this delightful piece of music. I'd gladly request Tower Crane Driver!

[@Strettpegger]

Gorgeous - simply gorgeous - had tickets to see them this week- hope this craziness is over by October......

[@elesaansell6733]

Lovely. Just lovely. Thanks so much.

[@unpackingpig9144]

Starlings please!

[@faded-epitaph]

Good choice 🎶

[@keithholland3111]

Great suggestion. Love that song! But trumpets on Zoom? Would it work?

[@ctrlaltshift]

@@keithholland3111 Are they actually doing it on Zoom? I feel like it would be impossible to keep any sense of rhythm with all the latency. It's probably just prerecorded.

[@evelynbarry5008]

When those strings begin.... J'adore

[@tonyfrobisher9580]

Music. Pure bliss. Thank you Elbow. Just beautiful. A request...oh go on. The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver, or Powder Blue. Both haunting, gorgeous, perfect.

[@ajdemontjoie5907]

Absolutely beautiful and lifts my heart to the sky! My Sad Captains next please ... PLEASE :)
