[stellaviolens]

Its lovely in a chilling way that this epic song and complimenting video are here three years later

[MrKingkenny10]

[thefunkmaster147]

I get a chill from this at 3:44. It really is a testament to what music can achieve.

[mstorii75]

[MemTheMachine]

@Dalp1974 Thanks

[christiR123]

simply beautiful in everyway their long awaited fame is very well deserved its a shame there is not more bands of the same quality

[cameltoast]

@christiR123 No doubt

[wollyroger]

this is posted as HD, but is in mono...!

[cameltoast]

@wollyroger Haha! Shrug, my fault

[TheMasterNo6]

The drumming and bass sound like a tower crane creaking as it revolves I think....Lovely song. Perfection. Sublime....

[SXI1972]

superb, love the song and the vid

[xxXghislainXxx]

pure bliss

[kcat713]

perfectly simple and beautiful video to go with this heart-wrenching song. and the timing of the sun actually rising above the horizon is magnificent.

you guys should check out the bbc performance version of this song- it's even MORE intense with the full orchestra/chorus backing. in fact, watching this video on mute while playing that video is pretty much guaranteed to make me cry.

[cameltoast]

@kcat713 I actually redubbed it with that audio I just haven't got around to uploading it

[tinaturnon]

this tracks amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzing !

[deejayhart]

AWESOME. I saw Clive James recently - he gave a talk in Oxford - and he had Elbow's album playing at start and end.

[bigearl150]

Good stuff!! I'm a tower crane operator, and it really gives a sence of what its like being alone all day!! Great song as well!!

[stellaviolens]

Reminds of when I used to go down to the beach in the summer and watch the sunrise.  Beautiful

God this song is moving but impossibly bleak, I 'd only wish this feeling on my worst enemies.

[clugalugs]

where was the sunset and what time was it?

great vid!

[cameltoast]

@clugalugs Oklahoma City, Lake Hefner

[FLYGLI]

I like the camera in the last bit and think that there's nothing wrong with this video in the slightest. Great work! I think the band should adopt this video.

[cameltoast]

Haha,thanks for the love

[JamesBCS]

god, it makes you FEEL lonely.

[cameltoast]

Indeed

[jesushairdresser]

Lovely, what a tune, and even better it's available in HD. Cheers cameltoast.

You could edit out the camera move and do a dissolve between the wide and the close up... just a thought. :-)

[cameltoast]

too lazy,haha

[Miguelohara563]

Great song.

[canitakeyourpic]

excellent in every way, but should have left the camera alone in the last bit. but im been picky

[cameltoast]

Yeah Probably, oh well

[canitakeyourpic]

excellent!!

[IdeaTherapy]

thanks for making this. this must be my favorite Elbow song.

[Flophole]

meant to type sunset :s

[Flophole]

I think this would be even better if it was set against a sunrise :D

Great video though, really good idea.

[moonflash21]

This is quite gorgeous. :D

[purpleoscar]

Cool!
