This is just one of those songs that creep up on you the more and more you hear it. It is constantly ringing more beautifully in my ears every time I come upon it.
What a great band these really are! Anybody just getting into them should buy a couple of their older albums, asleep in the back is really good and also leaders of the free world is another great album! If you like this song you'll love Great Expectations off Asleep in the Back.
Great Expectations is off their album Leaders of The Free World. But yes I agree all of their cd's are worth havng, i have them all and don't regret for a second getting them, they don' t really have a weak album. My fav album is actually Cast of Thousands atm.
Elbow are great, just love their music but only recently found out about not because of their mercury prize but because of grounds for divorce which featured on the trailer of burn after reading and i just thought wow what a great band im just going back to their older stuff and they are one of the best bands in a while!!!
Could someone explain this video to me? Why was the the old woman crying? Because she's old? Is the metaphore that we are all living in burning buildings?
this whole album changed my life, god, remember when MTV2 and xfm were actually good?! it's not surprising really they had REAL music to add to their playlists! fuck, i was 17 when this came out! thank god they're still around! (they are amazing live too!)
not really,but its nice let it be known when ure part of something from the beggining and not jumping on the waggon whenever it gets big enough.i am happy that there makin it.oh,and pre pubescent fagboy is a little pointless and babyish.being as how im 25 and have a long term gf!lol
Yes i know what you are saying, i'm sorry about the unneccisary insults. You are being perjudice though, you can't just say "everyone who hasn't been listening to elbow from day 1 is a dick". Yes, some will just use it as a phase, but people, like me, have recently, in the passed year, have just heard of Elbow. Now i love all there music, from 2001 to there newest album. I don't think i should be classed as a wagon wheeler. Anyway, no hard feelings...
Did you ever consider that some of us have busy and dull lives (not like you I suppose) and never got an opportunity to hear this amazing group until they got more play? How is that MY fault? Consider yourself lucky.
He's a bit chunkier these days, but I still think Guy's damn sexy.

your obviously a pre-pubescent fanboy who thinks he's a purist, and gets annoyed when more people like the artist. I hate people like you...
You should be happy Elbow are getting a larger fanbase, not whining about it you arsehole...
