[Denyalle]

[caubomax]

[migletoskas]

[MugiwaraSuponji]

LOVE this video

[diego050683]

SO MANY NEW FANS THIS GUYS WILL HAVE THANKS TO Dr. HOUSE!

[hera2511]

I really need to get out more. This is absolutely beautiful.

[MikoVideos]

What a relief to be able to see a good song on YouTube without getting a copyright error telling me I can't see it here because the RIAA is busy suing another housewife!

[Templarium]

Praised be House MD and its good music.

[kamlatamarw]

how can I not know anything of these awesome band!!

[JonasBridgous]

Agreed. This band writes boring music that is, since 2008, being hyped up by the media. I'd be surprised if they stay popular for another year.

[DethPenguin]

Lmao, hyped by the media.

Thanks, I needed a good laugh.

[tippspur]

great song...

[0mega616]

Did that Alphadot guy look up an Elbow Video to complain about them? how creepy is that!

[amertje]

Word is borN

[danex1009]

Elbow is better than crazy Brittney Spears

[vivalaleta]

Hey Alphadot, here's an idea; go leave your praise of Oasis comments on an OASIS video on You Tube. Sheesh.

[amuri1990]

Oh yes, and alphadot, you seem like the kind of person who is extremely insecure and upset in the real world, so formulate these harsh opinions and act this way online. Its pretty sad. You'll probably post some nasty response to this instead of being a decent person and respecting someone else's opinions.

[amuri1990]

Such a wonderful song and video. I love how well she dances, and the layering of everyone. Guy's voice is perfect as always, smooth with a hint of rough love ;)

[alphadot]

you people are all idiots if you even compare oasis to this boring band oasis are so way out of their league and elbow is not just concentrating on making music its because they are so shit nobody around the world knows them as much as they know oasis oasis have more # 1 hits than elbow has hits so please pick another band to compare, just because your jealous and you all hate liam they changed British music, if it wasn't for them none of your new pussy bands would exist.

[twinklykiz12]

Cracking vid to go with the song.

[mancannon1]

Elbow beats oasis nuff said

[PLA5T1KJ3ZUS]

elbow beats just about everything

[edub272]

elbow and oasis are good.. most british bands are good.. Kasabian's my favorite tho

[alphadot]

seriously how can you idiots compare this to oasis, their b-sides are better than this, cmon how dumb can you be

[edub272]

yo dude, its music... chill.

[alphadot]

no because if you like something you would be just as hipped up not understanding how could someone insult it saying that its crap. Not more than an auditorium filled will know elbows songs, all over the world people still know oasis songs, even its just the most popular ones, they know it well. Ok so you piss off

[Blinkerage]

who the fuck is oasis?

[alphadot]

well then go find, out.

[alphadot]

and compare viewers, and you tell me please, you know oh so well, 38 thousand since 2008, the highest one is grounds for divorce. wonderful, i guess you feel better, asking it,

[DemonPazuzu666]

@alphadot

I'm sorry but you remind me so much of Chris Crocker. 8P Britneys terrible and sucks.

[alphadot]

but im not replying to you, im replying to those idiots that were pissing on oasis

[edub272]

ya but by your definition, a songs popularity determines how good it is... which is wrong, oasis' hit songs are great and they've achieved mass appeal, but just because Elbow hasn't reached the same acclaim doesn't mean their songs are any worse. Oasis and Elbow play very different music in my opinion and i like em both. People shouldnt be shitting on oasis but dont shit on Elbow, its music.. and if you dont like it why are you watching their video lol

[alphadot]

yes whatever, all i know is oasis is better so fuck off, name one song better than liveforever or champagne supernova, please o could name so many more... elbow will never accomplish what oasis has,

[imbermusic]

So you mean Britney Spears is better because is more famous than Oasis.

You are such a retard.

[alphadot]

ok im not even gonna go there your an idiot,i see that im getting involved with people that know nothing about music, listen to whatever`you want, trash oasis as much as you want who gives a shit, i know which band is better, like i give a fuck what you think, britney spears, are you fucking kidding me please dont message me any more im not wasting my time with idiots.

[fiendishing]

Hey there bud. :) Please know that what is better is all opinionated. I'm not bashing on anyone or taking sides. Brittney Spears is cool. Haha. not really but would it matter if I thought she was better than Elbow or something? It won't effect you. Lets all just blaze a bowl and calm the fuck down. :)

[rhysyrhumsy]

did anyone see the nme awards when it was annouced oasis had won best british band everyone bood then when they said oasis weren't able to collected everyone cheered

[TygerShumate]

Muse won best live band of the year ^^ go Muse.

[heinzie5]

should of been elbow

[HighAsTheSky90]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, YOU FUCKING PRICK!!!!!!! There is no way oasis can no way compare to the greatness of elbow. Oasis is far to commercialized. elbow concentrate on making music.

[fcbokkel]

Commercialing just spreads the music out more, oasis or elbow still decide for themselves what king of music they make. I dont know elbow so I cant really form an opinion for now but a reply like that is just rubbish.

[knowsis]

best track on the album hands down. Fucking love Elbow

[rhysyrhumsy]

yay a good british band now every stop goin oasis are amazing the elbow are pure awesome

[mree06]

Ugh. I love this song. I've been on such an Elbow kick lately.

Hey, anyone know who did the choreography?

[Homeskillet654]

I can't get enough of his voice. Love it.

[gggggreat]

hmmm this is exactly like a song by Muse or radiohead... can't remember?!?!?! but it definitely rings a bell!

[fuckscum]

Perhaps your thinking of 'Karma Police' by Radiohead? The guitars sound kinda similar with this song...

[tedsef]

top notch

[SuperRockinMrMagi]

i agree absinthe is awesome

[Waudby7]

lik eit

[ilikemonkeys100]

I like this song.

haha, jesus. vivalaleta is soo pretentious. calm it down, dude.

[vivalaleta]

Dog gone it, apsinthion, why can't you have the decency to at least PRETEND to be the asshole I so imagined you to be. What happened to the know-it-all creep of yore?

And as for your name. That comment was left for a member calling herself "AlltheGuyshWannnaDoMe" and left there with him only to have it set itself up here. That's something I wish YouTube would work on - keeping replies with the comment they're attached to. Don't you?

[apsinthion]

i appologise for not being an asshole =) glad you see that im not actually a bad person, just have too strong an opinion. My music taste is more Classic Rock like thin lizzy lynard skynard, plus new bands like alter bridge n kings of leon, n yeah it was the polish absinthe i had n it was called apsinthion, so its stuck with me, either apsinthion or hunni_monster their ma names =) i c u like dire straits, LOVE THEM! mark knopfler is my hero =D x

[olektronik]

the voice of the every day man. so good, its wrong

[Astrotrot]

yeah he writes it like poetry

[mickosabian]

I'm diggin' this track so much. Immense lyrics.

[realisoph]

brilliant and powerful.

[DarkDrizzt182]

I love the lyrics in this song. Sex on fire is an amazing song though, and people like it for the energy, not for the lyrics. It goes back to your comment referring to pointless shredding, if you're lyrics are amazing and deep and thoughtful, it's no good if they havent got any feeling or energy to them :D

[greensquirrel01]

great comment, Im tired of hearing (usually some heavy metal nerd) boasting about how some prick can go from 1 end of the fretboard to the other 46 times in a second and that makes him the best guitarist etc....

[AllTheGuyshWannaDoMe]

Elbow are so good! I'm so glad they are finally getting the recognition they deserve!! They should re-release Asleep in the Back, that shit didn't get the love it deserved at ALL!!

[vivalaleta]

Do you know how difficult it is to take anything you say seriously with a user name like yours. I'm just sayin.

[apsinthion]

dude seriously =| i wrote them comments over a month ago n im stil getting emails everyday saying ppl are replying to me on youtube, ive appologised for being rude over my opinion and you were part of them comments too looking back (which btw i had to go back 5 pages) so why did you feel the need to bring it back up again? just leave it for goodness sake, theirs no need to keep going on about it. ive accepted you lot dont agree with me and im over it.

[apsinthion]

and it was named after a good memory of a polish drink i had, dont be so shallow to resort to such pettyness as my name, im not insulting yours. just please drop it, ive asked about 3 times for people to leave me alone, yet you all continue to reply to me, i dont like elbow, end off, just get over it!

[vivalaleta]

Oh, and I KNOW what absinthe is, dear.

But Polish?

[wereft]

Love this song :)

[chloeditty]

wow, really different!

I like it!:)

[princealbert2007]

my chemical romance suck balls...

[roisin111]

agreed!

[jackthem]

old stuffs Ok :D

were did all these strong opinions come from chill :D

[BUNNYBOILER143]

Brilliant.

[smakintheface]

greatest band ever

[vivalaleta]

I sure am glad you've enlightened us as to the formula of all well written songs. Sadly all these years I had been under the impression that music had a little wider scope then "climax...drop...lower"

[finbomartini]

Well I don't really care if I am just being manipulated by simple musical formulas...I like it :D

[vivalaleta]

That remark wasn't aimed at this piece of art - far from it - but rather at assinthian's description of all good songs. This is subtle not simple.

[finbomartini]

Wow. So much philisophical discussion over ELBOW. Who'd a thunk it.

[yipyipitsme123]

i know right :L

[finbomartini]

Of course that chick swinging her legs around in a skimpy dress helps a little too.

[benjii666]

loving all music is not stupid. If you want to get anywhere in the music industry you have to be very versatile in what you do and what you like. The times are changing and new acts and artists are flourishing. I'm a drummer and i'm pretty sure i could play the bass to this song, this doesn't knock the song at all, it is brilliant how something so simple can become so beautiful. i see no research.

[apsinthion]

lets just agree to disagree, im sorry for offending you by being patronizing, it was not intended.

[benjii666]

666 is not ignorant, i am not a satanist. just an easy number to remember. rhetorical questions and condescending attitudes are ignorant. nobody needs that. i know thin lizzy, lynard skynard, eagles, ozzy are all awesome musicians and have much talent, then again i never said they did not. Did i? also yes i have seen the music industry, i know what you mean that it is a state, but, this is not because of the acts and artists, but because of greed. I think you need to understand that.

[apsinthion]

not really any talent in this is there? no there is not.

[ZenSaohu]

If you're talking about the video, it's because each individual part is unimportant. What's interesting is the combination of them all.

If you're talking about Elbow, then you've yet to appreciate what a mature sound feels like. These guys do dynamics better than anyone, and their lyrics and expression are top notch.

[apsinthion]

i dont care about the video, and your comment was unbeleivable. so because i dont like a band that keeps the same tempo, the same mood through out with out any bridges build ups drop downs of any importance, then i am yet to know what a mature sound feels like? that logic is awful. I have a Vast taste in music, music is my life, but i know what is good music and what isnt. and 18 years they have produced 4 albums. not very talented i am afraid. now stop blethering nonsense your waisting my time

[benjii666]

Well to be honest your word is not, i repeat not law. what you say does not apply to everyone. you claim music is your life, thus you should be interested in ALL music and way it can inspire everyone, not just yourself. you can only make music your life when you embrace all styles/genres and techniques. It looks like you me you only embrace ignorance. I'm not saying you have to like it as such. just appreciate the angle they are taking in music and what they do/ how they do it.

[apsinthion]

i did not say it was law, your not grasping what youtube is about, its about posting your opinions on videos, i do appreciate all genres of music, from Alter Bridge to Beethoven, from Bob Marley to Frank Sinatra, but in MY opinion i cannot compliment this, due to its lack of energy. music should climax, build up drop to amaze, then lower itself to capture its essence, and to me this does not do that, and it has nothing to do with ignorance. and whats more ignorant than having 666 in there name.

[apsinthion]

it is an absolute disgrace to what it used to be, granted there is still the ocassional band that pops out with unique talent (alter bridge, kings of leon) but the majority of it now is just trash (my chemical romance, hawthorne heights) and after looking at the bass, guitar tabs for this song, it just goes to show that as well as boring lyrics, the guitar and bass is basic. so i have no more need to comment this as my opinion has been justified by research, adios mes amigos

[benjii666]

Well you were being very patronizing with your rhetorical questions and what not. I'm not saying that you tube isn't here to post opinions and views, I'm saying that as you claim to be a man Whose life is music you should respect that this is not your cup of tea but is still music and should be respected for what it is. i feel this song has much energy, lots of harmonies, forceful drumbeats and bass lines that drive the song forward to a climax.This song has plenty of energy!

[claire123claire]

I think you have argued this well. I don't see why people are moaning about this song. Boring lyrics? I find them very interesting, especially the line "and the world moves in slow mo straight to my head, like the first cigarrette of the day". I think this song is very imaginative and that Elbow have done a good job. And songs do not all have to "flow" a certain way, it all depends on the mood they're trying to set.

Oh and one more thing. My Chemical Romance are NOT shit -_-

[benjii666]

Thank you, yeah this is just different, and different is good.

[pagancornflake]

"My Chemical Romance are NOT shit -_- "

Wrong

[CaraCascade]

Boring lyrics? Well, each to his own, I suppose - but personally, I think that the idea of hearing a song as you walk past & reliving a (painful?) emotion is both familiar and very resonant.

Besides, the complexity of an artist's work is not the be all and end all. What matters is the whole, not the merits of individual parts.

[vivalaleta]

Do you remain on the long list of the undiagnosed narcissists or are you just off your medications? You have the right to an opinion - it's just unfortunate that yours exposes you as a tasteless moron.

[LamourNeDurePas]

Who exactly do you think you are, the worlds leading authority on music? Firstly, musical taste is subjective and no two people will like exactly the same stuff. Secondly, I think the Mercury Prize judges know a thing or two about music and they, for once, agreed with most of the British music industry and voted Seldom Seen Kid THE album of the year!

[apsinthion]

who do i think i am? i am Ross and i am eating a chinese =)/ secondly i am ross who was having a drather heated debate with a few other people, a few weeks ago, and we all agreed to disagree on the issue because we had different opinions, and i even clearly stated not to reply to me because the discussion is clearly over, and i think i even appologised on one of the conversations for being so harsh, so who the fuck are you to brng up the past? i'm not interested in your opinion now fuck off =)

[LamourNeDurePas]

Is the past painful for you Ross? I can't help noticing that, despite posting critical comments yourself, you are unable accept criticism or the opinions of others. Just out of interest are you an only child?

[ChalktheChase]

'Ere comes the flame parade, boy.

It feeds the troll daily it does!

[rathcooligan2006]

what did u get out of the chinese? give a bit

[vivalaleta]

Are you trying out for the most hated prize on YouTube or are you just talented that way? If you were born absent the good taste to love Elbow then why do you keep coming back here and leaving your stinking droppings where we the enlightened might accidently step in them.

[vivalaleta]

You're being sarcastic....right?

[ZenSaohu]

Who's full of "blathering nonsense" now? See that "Audio Preview" button? Try clicking it before you post.

Also, it's worth noting that this video isn't the full track. It skips over bridges and the quiet parts, 'cause that's what video directors like to do to save time and film. Though, being the connoissuer of music you claim to be, you should have known this simple fact.

On more than one front, you need to grow up, kid.

[apsinthion]

at least benjii666 was saying things to make me think what to reply with and eventually give up and appologise for offending him, Metallica - The day that never comes, has the full video, they dont cut bits out, its not a case of saying "a simple fact" thats stupid. if a song is worthy of full play then the full song should be played, the full song was not played so i have not heard it all, end off. now fuck off because im sick of having to pause this bloody shit noise! dont reply i dont care

[sjburg30]

Elbow...best band for a long time

[123naive]

I feel like this song I have heard all my life, there's something in it that I find very familiar

[123naive]

So I'm there...

[cody666uk]

I have been converted by a friend . Oh what have I missed . Awesome . Ever wonder how something so good so nearly passed you by ?

[Maphysto]

Mainly because good music like this never gets any kind of mainstream attention. The vapid masses are too obsessed with Hannah Montanna and other such musical abortions.

[4Pints4Me]

Yes! Many times. Luckily though, I somehow stumbled across Elbow. I expect I'll be a fan for life now!

[vivalaleta]

Doesn't this song and video together hypnotize you? I'll look at some other video and then feel compelled to come back to this one. The most beautiful, haunting lyrics - sigh.

[bbwmstache]

I'd seen this song on Live from Abbey Road and was amazed. These guys (and gals) have an amazing sound. They've actually been around for quite a while, just never made it in mainstream radio - which is a barren wasteland any more. Too bad bands like this don't get more airplay.

[vivalaleta]

Too right! And here you'll see comments from blokes who're pissed off because Elbow's not they're secret any more.....but gals? I hate to seem gender blind but....

[bbwmstache]

On live from Abbey Road (on Sundance Channel) the band consisted of the 5 male members and 3 women on violins and cello. The women also sing backup on this song and One Day Like This which is amazing also.

[dermotoblong]

superb band superb album superb song

[tchdutyv]

how come no response here?

[gazboat]

tchdutyv...I can't explain why no response to Britain's greatest songwriter...His writing about the most important themes...LOVE & LOSS is second to none...Guy Garvey is a bloody genius who moves me to tears every time...THE SELDOM SEEN KID is a truly beautiful album...An absolute treasure and deserved Mercury prizewinner
