ELBOW - GREAT EXPECTATIONS [LIVE ACOUSTIC]

[The4fourEver]

honestly, you cannot make elbow a soundtrack. don't just listen to them when you commute, or work, you have to go and sit in a room with a pair of good headphones, turn off the lights, close your eyes, and listen. you will get chills.

God bless ya elbow. Music like no other.

[badriyah43]

Haunting. 

[authentichsp]

Best band, great song and try not to cry! heers, Y.

[2WheelEscapeArtist]

Sitting here this evening just clicking on random tunes. This has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time. Makes you want to search every song they've ever done. I can see how they very quickly gather fans of great music. What a voice he has.

[kristelrobin]

This song gives me chills every time I hear it, even after years. Can't believe I just discovered this acoustic performance!

[parich49]

Wonderful fantastic gorgeous music form the best band I have ever heard. Who could believe that something so beautiful could have ever come out of Bury?

[Nikodaddy1]

Don't tell me is really, something better around ?

[JeanetteVilhelmsen]

HEY! this is NOT music!!!! >:/

Its poetry mixd with a piece of heaven! :3

[TheProjectClub]

Inspiration - Black Sabbath - Fluff?

[JeanetteVilhelmsen]

I just keep hearing this in an endless loop... Its so great - the text and the sound!

I am never going to be tired of hearing this. - so peacefull, so great!

[snookerloopy1971]

About 3 weeks ago I dropped my mum and dad off after a blood test for my dad as he was feeling unwell. As I watched my mum try and place the key into the door for what felt like forever this song was playing. Suddenly for some reason I saw my mum and dad when I was only a small child full of life and now not so. Tears flowed. Tears are flowing now as I listen to this whilst my dad lies in hospital unwell. No song has ever got me like this one does. Love u Elbow x

[12345l6789]

'you only smoke cos it's something to share' gets me every time

[Kevinkaye84]

I really want to leave a comment that praises this song, but I just can't find the words that will do it justice! It always leaves a tear in my eye and a warm feeling in the pit of my stomach. Everything about this song is perfection and will no doubt tug on the heartstrings of every person who has the extreme pleasure to listen to this. I can only hope that Elbow decides to 'YouTube' themselves one day and sees the level of admiration for this band.

[fallenlids]

Es la canción más hermosa que escuche en mi vida! ♥

[blablagnu]

great great, great. listening again... great.

[lacocokiwi]

Mesmerizing



[reubsmusicaljournal]

heart stoppingly beautiful. like you have to breathe gently so the sound of your breath doesn't interrupt your hearing of the song...

[partridgezombie71]

Magical

[Banchorian]

Every so often I come back to this song, and I get stuck. Literally, I cannot move until I have felt it through me at least ten times. Poetic perfection, I wish Guy Garvey was my Dad.

[WalterSobchak1000]

perfection x

[Glubags]

1 dislike? Who'd be tasteless enough to do such a thing?

Amazing song.

[ddwj08]

Absolutely stunning....

[SebMcMeb]

I had great expactations for this song. Not great enough it seems.

I'm getting into the welding trade, so a soothing and rythemic song like this would be really nice for TIG welding, which is a nice, clean and quiet process. Love the work.

[TheRidiculousSublime]

wow.... speechless

[bryseis2007]

Pure genius, so utterly beautiful and completely unequalled...

[fpereir]

Just perfect...

[Notawesomeatall7]

[OperaNotes]

How is it every song they sing live is just amazing? Like heaven in a YouTube video.

[RockerDynamic]

Wow, Guy Garvey has an amazing voice.

[happynottobeclappy]

Gets me every time. I will never tire of this track.

[duffy2352]

[jonus63]

''You were the sun in my sunday morning..'' Absolutely beautiful

[crazybisuit3]

[duffy2352]

[YeahhhhDude]

Best band ever.. 'wrap you in stories', how come I know exactly what they mean???

[74shiv]

will always be blown away by how amazing this song is. The most beautiful music, gorgeous gorgeous lyrics and that heart breakingly wonderful voice of Mr Garvey. How amazing it must be to create music that makes complete strangers feel like I do right now, thats some talent. (sorry had to get that of my chest!!)

[MrJdaniels76]

Exactly my friend, I mess around in a band making genral noise, thinkin it sounds pretty cool. Then I listen to this and realise I wish I had a tenth of these guy's talent!

[MrJdaniels76]

Simply sublime!

[MrPfroberts1]

Brilliant group. Best I've heard in a while

[teenygirl1989]

I had forgotten how beautiful this song is :)

[mokingyax]

the most beautiful music with the most poetic lyrics

[skyeez83]

they are so great!

[antissimo]

beautiful. makes me cry.

[J0NNO]

can anyone advise me on the tabs. please

[TakeMeWithYer]

Type in 'Great Expectations tabs' in Google. They'll be only one link (A lot really, but they're all the same). It has most of the intro, and that's it. Not great, but its something to start. Maybe slow down song on editing software to hear it note for note. Its still a bit hard.

[Tilly220]

A huge thanks to Mike for sending me this vid. It is just wonderful !

[431972]

A breath of  fresh air....and to think they have been around for so long......

[jonis65]

The longing, the hope, the desire...Oh my god this song pours into my chest and rips out my heart...and I cannot stop.

[winniebobs]

just the most beautiful song ever.

[MrsOscarWilde]

What kind of instrument does the singer use with his right hand? What is it good for?

Brilliant song. Love it.

[oszillatormusic]

He adjusts the level of his voice in the headphone mixer...

[MrsOscarWilde]

Ah, thank you : )

[oszillatormusic]

Actually...

This song is the toppermost of the poppermost!

Beatles quotes rule!

[skimmerH]

It's a monitor system of some sort. He's adjusting what he can hear in the headphones.

[MrsOscarWilde]

Thank you for this information!

[Smamfy]

my absolute favourite Elbow song, what a fabulous version!

[babygiraffe143]

[onlyjust]

I can now see why these guys won the Mercury prize for 2008...absolutely beautiful music
