Mirrorball - Elbow

[SkilAgeMatrixxy]

this song is so underated :/

[thecrossfirecasualty]

1.40 = eargasm



[FuzzyFreaks]

I love the drums - they're like a heartbeat.

[MrMshortall1]

Heard this at reading put a chill down my spine!!

[thecrossfirecasualty]

I heard about this band 10 years ago but it was such a random name I never listened to them. Actually kicking myself now. Love this.

[freakgirlXP]

This song is too good for words. :)

Elbow creates the best songs ever made.

[freakgirlXP]

@gav182 Honey, I don't know how to tell you this, but you just made everyone think you really ARE a junkie...

[gav182]

@freakgirlXP Hahaha I am most definitely not your Hunny.

And I am at a loss as to how you think I made people think I am a junkie? Unless of course they are ignorant, closed minded, or just plain retarded:)

[ELCNUmorFnaMehT]

This reminds me of the BBC for some reason.

[Tortillaish]

This band has some serious beards!

[hollyhollytree]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Amazing!

[machu66]

esta cancion me transporta.. es hermosa.

[matatak94]

3:01 that piano is just beautiful

[gav182]

Listen to this while on Acid and you will be brought to a place of eternal bliss.

I can vouch for this!

[degriis]

@gav182 listen to this while you are clean and you feel like you're on acid. stupid ignorant junkie!

[gav182]

@degriis how do you know what acid feels like you moron!?Or are you a 'junkie' also?

And I'm hardly on acid 24/7 ye dumb cunt, so the likely-hood of me listening to this song while 'clean',is quite high,and i can assure you,as great as it makes one feel, it does not mimic the effects of LSD.

And for you to call me ignorant is just insulting to your own intelligence, as I am not the one calling a complete stranger a junkie just for trying a powerful,mind opening drug.

Now shut up and sit down!

[organica420]

@degriis you were supposed to be a wank

[Spooce199]

This feels beautifully atmospheric :)

[swinghamer]

finally got to see these guys at Austin City Limits festival this past weekend...incredible show. One of the best of the weekend, and probably the best "surprise" show. I've always liked their music but I didn't know they were going to be THAT good (and entertaining) live!

[beckdeb]

The most beautiful love song ever!

[123enigma456]

why has this band not been at No.1?

[NuUTubeBabe]

Very Niiiiice!

[darnessilver]

awesome song



[katielouisebrook]

so pretty !

[lovecraft36]

Wonderful piece of music.

[markkinrade]

the wonderful music of elbow, and others, has woven itself throughout my life in a most beautiful way and I am grateful to those who create something of such value that all people can share.....

[halloheyallesgoedjep]

[kyleerrison]

just may be one of the most beautiful songs ever written...

[heartsforgymnastics]

im 14 bit old for me but i love this:L

[MrToownie]

@heartsforgymnastics

music isn't about age --'

[jthorpy07]

@MrToownie but you gotta say the earlier the better!

[MrToownie]

@jthorpy07

that's true .. but i just hate kids who feel special because they listen to music their friends don't listen too ..

[jthorpy07]

@MrToownie oh yeh sometmes fall into that trap, but i try not too, i still think they listen to shit and should try to expand their taste

[acgnk96]

@heartsforgymnastics I'm also 14 and I love this :') Age doesn't matter when it comes to any kind of music.

[pointash123456789]

Why is this 240p ?

[specialgravy]

a beautiful song to chill to as the sun disappears from us all at the end of the day!!!!!!

[SuperPissflaps]

@specialgravy there fukin dick breath

[nmacog]

one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and one of the greatest vocalists of all time - I love this band :)

[GuestOfGregoryHouse]

Live version at the BBC is better imo

[martinmedeski]

4:58 in the morning.

[legoblaster987]

tuuuuunnnneeee!!!!!! :)

[CentauriCinema]

If I licked one of the band members, would that mean I could lick my Elbow?

[BrILjanTje]

@CentauriCinema definetly

[Skirrofficial]

@CentauriCinema No, that would mean that you are ultimately gay,.. but i understand

[CentauriCinema]

@Skirrofficial

You do, do you? ;D

[santeria1193]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[theEraser13]

this sounds different to the album version I have.. strange.

Still just a beautiful song. Guy Garvey is a genius, end of.

[5lizzymint]

Our wedding music without a doubt :)

[5lizzymint]

getting married in Spetember and this is gonna be our entrance music :)...... <3

[RichRobinson]

@5lizzymint good choice! all the best!

[Muncoo]

I am not human because i can lick my elbow :S

[klausbluetner1]

I think "Build a rocket" is where it starts to get interesting with Elbow

[marcrosson]

ah. goose pimples abound ;) 

[ConmanBenitez]

15 people clicked dislike for this because they have soul and a brain.

[OnionsAndPandas]

@ConmanBenitez didn't have would've made more sense.

[TopGearlover2002]

James may on the moon brought me here!

[steviemccallum]

Great songs, music always beautifully arranged.. lovin the strings

[assninja100]

this song is proper relaxing

[TheShadowMystik]

@assninja100 It's lulling me to sleep, but in a good way. <3

[Freyaaaaah14]

We Kiss Like We Invented It. Best Line Ever. <3

[jellis4465]

@Freyaaaaah14 WHAT ABOUT "your as easy as a nuclure war"by Duran duran not

[Maphysto]

@Freyaaaaah14 That, or "kiss me like a final meal, kiss me like we die tonight."

[1234521158]

its the best said;;;;;;thomas carey from tipperary town

[ceridwengwyon]

The singer sounds like Dave Matthews... The band is great! Thanks for sharing it! :)

[ZJProz]

Nicely Done..........

[suze2012]

Happy Valentine's Day - best love song ever.

[mingonuts]

This band has the ability to peel back the skin of insignificance that fogs our existance. I think they are not loved enough.

[pauiieheartxxii]

Gosh. I got goosebumps! OMG. I remembered the Love Ball from Skins season 3 episode 9. Raaaah. This is awesome. Skins brought me here.

[JDubzBeatz]

@pauiieheartxxii exactly my thoughts haha,so good!

[fcuom01]

Simply stunning tune from a simply stunning band who write songs that hit straight to the heart.If you don't like this bands music you don't like life. It's what they write about.

[JoeyDPro2009]

Elbow are a fitting piece of the alternative jigsaw

[jimihndrx11]

my love dedicated this to me and it is soooo beautiful. even though we can't be together for distance reasons, i will always and forever love him. e. i love you.

[DynamicScherzo]

Absolutely beautiful, very inspiring creatively as well. I close my eyes and completely drift off into bliss listening to this :)

[JohyeahM]

Listen to those lyrics... One of the greatest love songs ever.

[Blahgahbleh]

12 people clicked dislike for this because they have no Elbow.

[lorenrb]

@Blahgahbleh that was the greatest and most pointless dislike comment, all the rest so far have been dumb. good work.

[Blahgahbleh]

@lorenrb I'm sorry.  It was so corny it had to be done.

[ChaosDynamics]

@Blahgahbleh

Anyone who disliked your comment lost their humerus.

[Laminateddeffect]

easily one of the best songs written in the 2000s.

[TheSonority]

I heard this song in a Discovery channel commercial once and the only thought going threw my head was "Thank Jebus there are people left with good musical taste in this world!"

[SpartanM621]

@TheSonority

I completely agree, but do you have a link to that commercial? I'd like to see it.

[MrJames748]

my sorry name.........has made it to graffiti :)

[wrosegirl]

Wow!! My favourite elbow track!! Simply stunning and when those strings kick in in the chorus...................goose­bump city!!! Perfection!

[WowWhatJust]

this song just made my shitty day better!!

[aronmauck]

I'm glad Peter Gabriel decided to cover this, Otherwise, i'd have never even heard of Elbow. Good stuff

[uuu617]

@aronmauck Me too. What a quality song in every attitude. So Complete.

[fishkettlebanana]

what a masterpiece, unassuming and delicate. makes me think of sunny days playing on a grassy lawn as a kid

[beammeawish]

no mate...just can use fantasia to induce larger amounts of Dopamine..its quite a neat trick...so similar to crack I guess..but am bi polar...with the positive symptoms and have developed control of my mind whereby I can induce mania..thereby eeleasing larger amounts of dopamine..el natural..high on life...but it did take me about ten years to develop my system

[betjeh]

ivgotthisfromyou jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

[beammeawish]

thsi fit quite nicely like glove to hand to one of my treid and tested fanatsites that I draw upon for satisfaction this particlar one can release immense amounts of dopamine thereto euphoria..quite a logiocal process.1 plus 1 equals whatever you want it to equal!..delusions if used as a tool can be wonderous things..if controlled and shown respect..as long as you relise that they are what they are..and dont we all fantasie!

[thefekks]

@beammeawish

are you on crack?

[porcupotomus]

too slow for me. it's good music, but i can't get into it.

[Sidar654231]

@porcupotomus

I thought the same. I don't mean to tell you what to do, but a suggestion is to let your feeling just go with it. To give yourself entirely to an album, to focus only on a song and then just dreaming. But maybe you know all this already and you're quite sure it's not for you.

[porcupotomus]

@Sidar654231

i think it depends a lot on what kind of mood i'm in. sometimes i can really enjoy ambient music like this, but most of the time, i look for something that can keep me entertained. this song floats more than it pushes. maybe late at night when i need to unwind would be a better time to try it on, but right now, i need to rock out.

[Sidar654231]

@porcupotomus

I see! Well, I agree totally. Comforting to know this will be waiting when we're done doing the.. other stuff, hehe.

[twochordcool]

@porcupotomus I gave my brother - who usually has a pretty good taste in music - an AMAZING Elbow compilation that I put together - and I'm nearly certain that it's collecting dust. He says they're too mellow. I told him that he needs to keep listening to get past it because it's AMAZING stuff. Some people just have short attention spans I guess.

It's GORGEOUS - and, yes, sometimes mellow music. But I don't think Elbow made these songs - I think God made them in heaven. They're THAT good.

[hannahmagic]

Elbow areLEDGENDS and they have amazing songs- all of them

[Hockamon]

Elbow...its a part of us...no matter were we go

[Ultradudeo1]

@Hockamon yeh, but so is my knee, but i dont name a band after it :) LOL

[Hockamon]

@Ultradudeo1

I Woude!

[Ultradudeo1]

@Hockamon lets start a new band, Knee!! we will kick Elbow, in well....the elbow!!

[xxjea]

hehe yes, absolute radio rocks.. they played this song everyday last summer

[SymphonyNo3]

such a great song :)

[123armchairtraveller]

I love this and Anika xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxx

[NewYorkDontLoveMe]

one of those songs you reocngize from a soundtrack but never knew who it was by, and when your surfing round youtube, its like a breath of fresh air when you find it and instantly recognize it

[rawrforrandomness]

@NewYorkDontLoveMe too true! 

[NewYorkDontLoveMe]

@rawrforrandomness right on darling <3

[iheartwillnderek7]

to anyone who likes this, check out peter gabriel's cover. it is so wonderful. more orchestrated.

[XxRaven77xX]

great song to chillax to ^^ makes me so calm and happy

[1angeloctober]

This song is a permanent summer.

[funnygrlz101]

cate baskin tweeted this!!!! i love this song

[marooned09]

the most beautiful song in the world

[TbTReviews]

Holy fucking gorgeous.

[TheRandomHobbyChanel]

Elbow has exactly what mainstream music is lacking.

Passion.

[Simon0]

i cant wait for their next albumn. ELBOW ARE THE BEST!! Bit of a silly name for a band, but a ridiculosuly good band.

[pepijnn7]

no words for 3:02 - 3:15

damn sweet

[vemarfox76]

I can't stop listening to this album, beautiful, love it!

[LondonReggie]

Who would dislike this video and why?!

[DesertSmeagle]

im still tryin to figure out if this band is for actual music, or just one of those dumb hard rock punk kinda bands that suck and r trying to make a statement... is this actual music? like not mainstream.

[toxicptl]

@DesertSmeagle

If your musical knowledge doesnt allow you to judge if the music is any good, well trust your feelings, not others'...

[wickednaughtyzoot]

This version is much better than Gabriel's. I am a big PG fan for many many years, but it doesnt have the authenticity of Guy's version. This version literally makes me tear with emotion. PG's doesnt.

[thelettermanv]

I find this original version of "Mirrorball", while being very nice, to be quite repetitive. I very much appreciate the singer's voice, but I think I have to say that Peter Gabriel took this excellent song and brought out the best in it. That being said, both versions are great.  I think Peter Gabriel simply took the seed planted by Elbow, and grew it a little bit.

[SkiznotFizzy]

WOW. I admit that it was the Peter Gabriel cover that lead me to this. The track on Scratch my back was easily my favorite on the album and I had to look into who write this wonderful tune. I love this version just as much and I look forward to checking out others by this artist. As of now I know literally nothing about him/them.

[Hellsteer]

Man, I don't know how you people are saying PG's version is better than this. I mean sure, the orchestra is nice, but it doesn't really add anything necessary to it, and PG may have a nice voice, but it sounds almost like a spoken word version of this song. Guy's voice just soars over a beautiful melody here, it's so perfect in its simplicity. You can feel every word he's singing. To each their own I guess, but whenever I listen to this version I feel like this is beauty in song form.

[coraldonna]

This seems to be far less intense than Gabriel's recent 'cover', which elevates this song to symphonic proportions. From nice pop song to a highly emotional song. but thanks to PG for getting us to listen to a range of otherwise very obscure tracks from unknown bands.

[spiderlovin]

This is very beautiful, but having seen Peter Gabriel perform this with the New Blood Orchestra live last week, I have to say I prefer his version. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and brought tears to my eyes. The music combined with Gabo's beautiful voice was mind blowing. Both beautiful in their own right.

[Nightmareb4Chrimbo]

Not as good as the Peter Gabriel version, but still great :D

[HeatherSannachan]

Gah I prefer this version... Peter whats-his-name... it has no tune!!

[pleschuk1]

Peter Gabriel has turned me on to so many artists from around the world, Elbow now being one of them. I may have never heard of them if not for PG's new project. I'm partial to PG, but this original is awesome too.

[jadefurbrownie]

Thank you Peter Gabriel for making me discover this modern pearl of music.

[lizs004]

I've heard Peter Gabriel's cover of this and I believe that both tracks are pretty good.

[urbanmonk95]

brought by peter, i dunno... peters voice is just too good, i can't prefer this... still good tho :)

[VEGANSAM]

WOW!!...The only Gabriel cover where the original sound better!...What a find!

[TheAnxiousMan]

Bon Iver, Kate Bush, Vampire Weekend.

[crowscall]

I was also brought to this from Peter Gabriel's rendition. Both are fantastic. I had never heard of Elbow until now

[wthdoiput]

I'm into Dubstep, way opposite to this, big noisy sounds of bass...But then i have a MASSIVE soft spot for the mellow, relaxing sounds of Elbow. 'Bones Of You' is probably my favourite.

@daroxasx, you're 100% right, it's all 'Ke$ha this' or 'Lady GaGa that', they should play songs that they find on YouTube. :/

[benanr90]

i love bones of you!!!

[dgmcl3284]

always surprised me that this never became a single, my fav. from the album

[awsc517]

it upsets me that more people do not find amazing, soul jerking music like elbow's more enjoyable.

Fans of this music can hear what others cannot

[ERWAN1974]

Best song for a Friday afternoon. Great voice

[daroxasx]

Wow, no wonder I gave up on the radio, I'm not missing out on much; they can't seem to find wonderful music like this!

[Isserus]

89.9...they play it all the time. it's actually how i came to finally getting this song

[daroxasx]

cool! but I don't get that station around my area....

[Slakah42]

@daroxasx You should probably try BBC 6 Music, Guy Garvey has his own show on there on Sunday.

[SymphonyNo3]

@daroxasx absolute radio plays elbow

[TheAnxiousMan]

@daroxasx almost every station plays them

[JoyDivisionSouth]

@daroxasx ...try radio 6

[babaradio]

@daroxasx Try Paradise Radio. I get it late at night on my local radio community station, and you can find it on the web. It plays other awesome music like this. Peace.

[babaradio]

@daroxasx Try Paradise Radio. I get it late at night on my local radio community station, and you can find it on the web. It plays other awesome alternative music like this. Peace.

[Laminateddeffect]

@daroxasx mainstream radio doesnt even have to try anymore. its all about making a quick buck, they're not gonna go out their way to find GOOD music.whaterever sells & is popular is what matters in the eyes of the fat cats.

[adlezekili]

@daroxasx i can respect that decision, but i actually found these guys on my public radio station... go figure

[twochordcool]

liftoff love

:)

[missfickle]

love is a beautiful thing even when it goes wrong for not to know love is denial of the soul

[panayotisioannidis]

i was brought here through peter gabriel's wonderful rendition: splendid song in any case!

[debssquonk]

...so was I....listening to Peter now;-)

[mpja01]

beats the livin' crap outta Coldplay!

[dgmcl3284]

@mpja01: both good in different ways, don't slag off any of the good when there is so much crap also (this is brilliant)

[fudgecake3]

They write and perform the most moving love songs...this is my favourite along with audience with the pope. Just genius.

[ShootToLuna]

Elbow is incredible. They remind me of Air.

[bigdolge]

great song

[wallflower56]

Check out a preview of Peter Gabriel's new cover of Mirrorball in my videos - fantastic string arrangement by John Metcalfe, genius (in my opinion!)

[georgamatee]

love this! done a dance to it :) love the lyrics x

[RaveyRaveyRaveyTime]

im really starting to like elbow :)

[xallacheerio]

@RaveyRaveyRaveyTime I really like my elbow ;) lololol

[Alanteen18]

I found these guys by googling underrated bands can you believe that. I love these guys I was hooked from the start. How can a band this amazing go unnoticed. Start spreading these vids guys.

[Aceindie]

they maybe under rated but tey have been great for agessss

[GaiaArk]

Oh, this is Poetry... listening with my eyes closed...

[mondesecret]

I just heard an excerpt of the orchestral version Peter Gabriel made of this song... I wanted to discover the original one. I love this...

[SouLady68]

brilliant song brilliant album

[Simon0]

just bought this albumn. Only listened to half. This song grabbed me on my first listen. Very nice.

[MrCarnubia]

lovin this band so honest
