  • i love this song x

  • amazing♥

  • Good song. I heard it when i was on hold on the phone to 02 broadband. :)

  • haha

  • B E A utiful!!! End of.

  • 2.20 Love it.

  • This Is A Beautiful Song. =')

  • has to be one of the most underated songs of the decade

  • when i first seen this video i was half asleep lol

    i could have swore that sign said Golf Sale

    but anyways I <3 ELBOW

  • Fan Fecking Tastic. The talented mans Coldplay. Elbow is Da Bomb(and all that).

    Guy Garvey is an under estimated legend.

    Watch this apce

  • really amzing song feel good x a million :D

  • aweseom!

  • So much for the so-called "service economy." No jobs where people actually produce anything. Just flipping homes and putting money in a gulag casino, a.k.a., the stock market. It's all coming down.

  • new career prospects:-[

  • nice ..thanks R

  • Triumphant!!..... ;  )

  • Does anyone know who the dancer is? Brilliant video!

  • No, but all of a sudden I want a condo sign to play with...lol ; )

  • As a literal video, the song would say:

    Guy gets bored at selling homes;

    Decides to throw sign, side to side.

    Up and down, and side to side;

    See him toss it to and fro.

    Great song anyway.

  • What a brilliantly beautiful song, and the video is so simple that it works very well.

    5 stars.

  • Nice, brilliant, I love it..*****

  • Beautiful song!

    What I dont get is how people complain that the song is "shite" - why bother linking to it, listening to it and then complain about it Nothing better to do with your time!!?? If it aint your "cup of tea" then listen to something you actually do like.

  • just because you don't like something doesn.t make it " shite " could you post a link to some of your creations? they must be fantastic.

  • Monkey is spot on...lets be honest here, U know fk all about music except what ure BS pop tarts give U! Not qualified at all muppet!

  • To clarify monkey..thats all U are m8 a fkn slice of zoo entertainment at best!! With MC in ure name just backs it all up! Keep ure processed, Micky Mouse musical opinions in Heat mag where they belong!

  • This video is completely perfect for the song

  • Beautiful, keep the Manchester flag high! Best city in the world

  • I love Elbow's music/songs, keep up the good work.

  • i think your sposed to wonder why the dude is so happily flipping the sing around like is he sposed to be in love? maybe its just a video to portay a feeling i actually think its quite cool but i have no idea why

  • to be honest. The clip is more interisting than the music

  • 3:48 x)

  • what the...

    this is a great song and a big dramatic music video would go great with it...

    but even BETTER , we have a guy spinning a 'condo(m)s' sign above his head.

  • is this the real video ? what a letdown for a great song

  • LOL :P i used to think the sign said condoms......until now :P

  • from 2:20 its the best song ever

  • Yah the video random

  • sorry but this is a realy shit music video, i love the song though

  • awsome!!!!! yet another fantastic english band

  • If the meaning of 'prick' is to be concise, accurate and detailed then I'm a prick. If you use it in the more usual meaning, then sorry to burst the little bubble surrounding your pathetically small and dull life, but I am not one. Maybe you should look in the mirror if you want to see one.

  • No, I just like to be accurate. You lose credibility if your 'correction' is in fact incorrect. Simple.

    We all have our expertise somewhere, some people maybe haven't found their area yet though, and some people are looser of tongue when posting entries on an anonymous internet. - just like joshere341 who has never met me, never will (luckily for me) but claims to be able to put my entire personality into a single word.

  • @lateloungesteve - Prick.

  • @Evanismelike - How funny, your dad obviously has good taste in music. I don't know what point you are trying to make, other than your dad listens to Elbow !

    @19861953 - strange how you correct someone and get it wrong yourself. The lead singers name is Guy, not Gury (Birth name, Guy Edward John Patrick Garvey. Born, March 6, 1974)

  • Sorry that was a slip of the finger on keyboard. Did not realise that you would want all that detail. Besides, are you an expert on something?

  • elbow are the best

  • my dad listens to them. you listen to the same music as my dad.... good for you

  • yea my dad likes the sex pistols, the beatles,pink floyd,jimi hendrix,oasis,arctic monkeys,coldplay,elbow,the clash,bob marley,the doors ect ect are you trying to say if someones old they cant like good music? most of the greatest artists of all time were from the 60s and 70s ya fucktard go listen to lady gaga and geez peace :P

  • piss off no one asked you i was talking to my friend and i appreciate good music but this is just boring music so go sit and be bored

  • you cant be fukin hyper all the time lay of the red bull an chill once in a while :P

  • im not ever hyper i dont get hyper i play guitar or go on youtube all day and i dont drink red bull i drink orange juice :P

  • Saw Elbow back in March at Wembley Arena. They were awsome. I may be old but i know know a good band when i hear one.

  • Electricrussell

    Yes, as one man once wrote "Hope I die before I get old" - Roger Daltry of The Who fame.

    Clearly you miss quote him on purpose.

    However, the MANY, MANY people obviously think that you are a cock, and they are all correct.

    I'm not patronising (notice the correct ENGLISH spelling) but you are a twat and you go on and on proving it.

    Anyway, fuck off back under whatever rock you crawled from, and go listen to some cheese fest crap.

  • they played this when they supported U2. it was amazing! nice one elbow

  • this video is the worst music video i have ever seen, great track but video is crap!!!!!!!

    cheap and tacky,

  • Love the string arrangement. Brilliant melody. Sing along chorus. Hand clapping moments. What more do you want?

  • I wasn't really a fan of Elbow when I was 'dragged' to see them at V at Chelmsford.

    I was blown away by their entrance, throughout and their final piece (this one!). Absolutely brilliant.

    V isn't for old people who still think they are cool (you clearly have never been, you tosser) and the vid sums it all up. The sign has condo for sale on both sides, pointing in opposite directions, but he's LOVING his simple and almost pointless job because of what HE DOES WITH IT ! Almost mirroring life !

  • "V isn't for old people who still think they are cool (you clearly have never been, you tosser)"

    Wow, how patronizing. As an old man once said, I hope you die before you get old.

  • What an awesome tune.

  • the video for this song had alot of potential...i mean the lyrics could have produced a great story...but oh well..

  • the sun going down to this at V was one of the high points of my life

  • the best song i heard at the v festival by a mile

  • listening to this from v festival, amazing.

  • wtf was going on when they thought this video up?!

    Guy 1 : "hmmm how can we capture a great song like this in a single video???"

    Guy 2 : "I know lets have a guy throwing around a piece of cardboard saying 'condos' for the whole video!!!"

    Guy 1 : I love it!!! stuff the special effects and possible explosions! this is much better!!! im giving you a promotion son!!!"

    ... idiots ... O.o

  • awesome song though

  • He has a crap job but he is loving living his life - that's the point :)

  • dude u completely missed the point and i'm not even going to bother explaining it because you don't deserve it if you have that lack of imagination

  • its like hey jude where the really good part comes in at the end, the whole song is great though never the less

  • joeflo 123 checked your tunes an mate you have no taste, this is a tune an your a knob

  • that guy knows how to throw laminated cardboard better than elbow know how to make music

  • i loveee this song (L)

  • ahahahahahahaha

  • love this song <3

  • Truly inspiring. Fantastic, we need more music like this.....

  • love 1:52

  • i want a condos sign to mess about with

  • The condos are obviously to the left, otherwise the sign would be turned upside down. ^^"

  • very relaxing music... :)

  • AHHH WHICH WAY ARE THE CONDO'S?!

  • What u tune CTID

  • How come City till i die on this vid?

    I couldn't agree more though ;)

  • Condos, is it left or right!!

    He must of get sacked on the first day.

    I love this song and after this video, i like it even more.

    Awesome video, brilliant!

  • You know that's not his name, right? He's not called Johnny Elbow.

  • haha

  • cool and the gang

  • Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the rent boy.

  • I'd love to do that job! :)

  • leopies...shut the fuck up

  • well said... what a dick!

  • shut up you dick.

    the smiths, the stone roses, oasis, the happy mondays, the hollies, the verve, joy division, new order, james, 10cc, the charlatans, the buzzcocks, the doves, the bee gees....... and they are just bands off the top of my head, no need to mention the abundance of artists, writers and poets you shallow minded pric.

  • I just saw this band live. They opened for Coldplay and took my breath away. As for fat and talentless, I have to disagree there, wanker.

  • This music video is truely enjoyable. Elbow is a good singer.

  • Elbow is the name of the band arsehole. Gury Garvey is the singer, get it right next time.

  • Good Song Like. Mint x

  • Robert Holly, Sarah is very much in love with you, but she's a bunny boiler, watch out for girls like her, they will end up padlocking your mobile phone and car keys in a safe, so you can't go out ever again. She will demand you stop seeing your mates, and if you work with any women, she will send them threatening letters. You've been warned.

  • Cos holy cow I love your (beautiful big blue) eyes Mr Robert Holly. Cannot believe I have met the most beautiful, kind, sincere man in my life. x x x x

  • it's right up there with the birdie song and agadoo.

  • You clearly have no taste

  • well you clearly have no taste seeing as u like pussy cat dolls and tinchy strider.

  • AWESOME Can not some it up any more

  • This song just does not get old. It's amazing and I love it like the first time I heard it every time I do. Musically uplifting and brilliantly arranged, lyrically very very clever and imaginative. Elbow fans should also check out running to stand still, a U2 cover. Maybe the most haunting piece of music i've ever heard. Tissues on stand by for that one!! LOVE these guys

  • WOTS A CONDO

  • its an apartment i think

  • Conominium. Its a form of tenure, like when you have posh flats that are individually owned but the residents are all responsible for the maintenance of the building and grounds.

  • After all that I hope he made a sale!

    Amazing song. Simply beautiful and I feel so much more chilled out now I've listened to it again

  • They could do so much more with this song. Extend it and turn it into an Anthem. Still a graet song though!! Well done lads!

  • My dad is going to play this at his wedding :)

  • This is my favourite Elbow song. So beautiful.

  • so good.

  • Crazy boy....who cares about the condo's when this song is just so anthemic and melodic and just a joy to listen to.....

  • Wait........... Which Way Are They Selling The Condos...?

  • I was looking for this song for AGES.

    Immense song.

    Great at T in the Park as well

    :)

  • Reminds me of a SpongeBobSquarepants episode in which he spends the whole day hanging around with a piece of paper...

  • LMFAO ur funi :D

  • I'm actually in love with both Elbow and this song!!

  • its a great song, and plus the vid is so simple, yet so good!

  • Heart rendering stuff, guy garvey means it when he says it. Shit man this band sure make me well up. Bless em'.

  • by far an anthem to be remembered and enjoyed and it gives me goose pimples luvvvv it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx shelly

  • watched this at t in the park, was amazing!!!!!!!

  • was 3rd row watching this 2 days ago at oxegen :D helped the shitty weather drift away

  • prettiest song i've heard in a long time,

  • my mate jay and i are listening to this in total harmony while drinking copious amounts of beer!!!!!

  • so where are the condos being sold? Am confused, cos i dont know the direction cos the guy never pointed it in one direction?

  • elbow is de very good no they is de shit maaaaaan and ryan haigh lives at 38 winrose hill he likes peadophiles semi colon

  • i adore this song and the video is ficking genius

  • God - i was leaving my school like forever and i was all fine and driving down the drive then this song came on and i just burst into tears. Like a lame movie ending when some emotional music is playing the background that represents the moment. Way lame - i was crying throughout the song

  • He ll be in trouble if his boss drives past....Epic song tho!

  • this song makes you feel good

  • These guys are from my home town =D Legends.

  • brit soft rock at its best

  • love the song and video but I've still no idea which way the condos are

  • love this song. brings back memories of my first holiday with my beautiful fiancee x

  • I cannot stop listening to this fine piece of art.

  • Thats a very Apt description of their Music, Amazing Musicians.

  • i love this video ! it shows how even the most boring and mundane job in the world can be made better and can turn a shit day inro a beautiful day. and that kids got skill.

  • Well said fella.

  • Good song,rubbish video.

  • Great, Lovely song but it definitly deserves a video alot less corny!

  • i love this song

  • dis video n tune are class....feck d lot of u who tnk its shit!!learn 2 appreciate good music....serious pensive music!!!

  • With all that spinning, how are the public meant to know what direction the Condos are actually in?

  • exactly

  • tbh who cares which way the condos are in, Nobody really cares and reads them signs lol

  • haha brilliant!

  • Comment removed

  • i thought it sed condoms

  • Condo is short for condominium, which is like a tenement building where people own their own flats but share some services.

  • What kind of services?

  • Awesome song

    absolute shit video

  • great song..video is boring as fuck

  • condos? whats that

  • Like motor homes or somethin like that aint it?! I think anyway. .x.

  • like flats for americans

  • why would you call your band elbow???

  • America does have talent after all! throwing and spinning signs LOL! (joke)

  • hes got skill

  • Fabuluss :-) :-) :-)

  • choon!!!!!!!!!!!

  • sounds like coldplay a bit

  • sorta ...... but its a gd song tho !

  • a bit, but slightly more classical.

  • Love that song :)

  • wot a fkn TUNE !!!!!!!!!

  • This was so sad on waterloo road :(

  • tune!!!!!

  • Great song.

  • REMEMBER TEH WANK

  • well i think its a great song (^.^)

  • When I listen to the album (which by the way i think is SUPERB) this is the song which lifts your spirits. Not saying the others are morose but this is the essential track which holds all the others in place. The 'glue' if you like.

    By the way, I discovered a new british singer songwriter on here called Phoebe Peek, I think she is def going places - mercury prize in no time I reckon!! AND she is only TWELVE!!! lol, how good is she???

  • personally i disagree and think its the best but thats just my opinion

  • It just seems terribly 'take thaty' and doesn't fit in with the tone of the rest of the album. The Fix or Grounds for Divorce vie for my top spot.

  • This guy has skills ;)
