I'm from Bury(elbow hometown), and I can remember about 14 or 15 years ago my mates mum and step-dad were getting married and they managed to get a new up-and-coming band to play at their wedding for free due to one of band members knowing the best man in some capacity, i passed up the opportunity to go and tape a program about aardvarks or something similar, equally as inconsequential, anyway turns out it was only elbow, by all accounts they were biblical.
It will be one of the greatest regents of my life. (sob cry) Anyway....enough..... of ....best go and start on my 10 daily views of justin bieber baby...........that is what everyone is doing right?
Half the people are commenting about that person's "Mad skills", I on the other hand will take time to note how terrible they actually are, half of the other comments are asking where the condos are. Just saying. Great song <3
TheHitDetector, I totally agree! Would be an excellent Christmas number one. Come on Elbow re-release this so we can have a perfect christmas listening to your amazing voice. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!!!!!....What a superb beautiful sound. The vocalist has one of the most superb voices ever. The whole track is solid gold. The lyrics are great. The music is so so special it achieves the highest possible level of excellence that most bands can only ever dream of. This has all the hallmarks of something very special and should without doubt re-enter the charts and reach the true and fitting level of number one spot. I have only heard it today and I think it is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!
#15 on UK iTunes at the moment. Come on let's keep downloading this song and get it into the Top40 again and outpeak it's original peak. Criminal that this song only got to No35 back in 2008

this song saddens me as it reminds me of the corrupt decisions made by FIFA about the 2018/2022 world cups, i wont be able to see the world cup in my country now until my 40's, I'm 17 now...
Thanks FIFA for ruining so much for so many for some money (<-- Sarcasm)
i'm listening to this because it is the only thing in music that fits how i feel about tomorrow being the last skyrim free day i have to bear ^_^ "somone tell me how i feel its silly wrong but vivid right!"
It's great how this is most popular with Males 45-54. I'm a 16 year old girl from Stoke and I THINK THIS IS AMAZING and I have never felt such escapism from music.
I love this video because unlike other music videos, it doesn't force an interpretation of the song on you. Like they could've come up with a storyline for this video of a man and woman in love or something else cliched, but instead it's just a video of a working man making a boring job fun. He's making a beautiful day out of something that has become routine to him.
@zeauxster His job is to spin the sign... he doesnt just stand there holding it and decided to dance to make his day more enjoyable. He will be paid to spin and dance with the sign. :P
never fails to put a smile on my face!!!! just epic! i was lucky enough to see these guys live at glaastonbury and i wouldnt stop smiling afterwards :D im still smiling to this day :D
His exuberance and sheer enjoyment at 2:35 and onwards is wonderful to see. He doesn't care who's watching, he's just having fun. Great video this, it's not just music and video, it's music times video.
@xD4rkFl4m3x Not most people read when signs are attached to the fence. But him doing this, causes movement attracts our eyes to the sign a lot easier.
Great song, although british TV strongly overuses this song on charity specials like children in need, red nose day, and christmas specials to remember starving children in africa :L
Let's hope they don't ruin it this year, fantastic song!
I liked the song and I liked the video. And for those that don't like a video/song, just write a decent coment and not a bunch of shallow words. Or just go away and write nothing (better!).
As if half these guys are here cause they saw elbow at reading/leeds lol, they won the mercury music prize 2 years ago, beating florence and the machine and muse!

• Hello Everyone!
It’s Music that’s keeping me alive.
My life is so difficult and the only thing to forget my problems is the Music.
All of you will think I’m crazy but you’re wrong
Because singing and writing I can be who really I am.
I’m so grateful because now I can smile, dreaming, screaming. (And I owe it all to music and to god)
Well, I made some covers and I just upload it to my channel and I’ll be grateful if you stop by my channel and check it out.
Thank you so much!!
