[Radney12]

[lyf1100]

[vicstarr1992]

[FreakAAY]

Pinkpop 2011 - The Netherlands is gonna be the best with Elbow!

[OristOfficial]

@FreakAAY it was! :)

[jellyfishey]

My fav song of the new album.

[criddskovich]

was it Mrs Woman? Guy?

[rael1999]

Guy reminds Me so much of a friend of mine called Jazz who sadly passed away a few years ago...we use to play in a band from Rochdale/Littleborough many moons ago...Jazz was a wonderful singer...would have loved to have seen him sing with Guy !

[criddskovich]

best/second best song they have done. Nuff said

[lujufrand]

I love you Guy<3

[rowellianrockers]

sublime. love the piano part. lulled and writing my own list.

[RachelBeckwith]

This song is really reminiscent of 'Scattered Black and Whites' from their first album. Which is another of my favourite Elbow songs. Circular, meditative simplicity.

Love the new album. A true band to aspire to: A+

[clhparsons]

@RachelBeckwith totally agree - "Scattered Black and Whites" is my favorite Elbow song, and there's times when it reduces me to a blubbering mess! lol

[Simon0]

Elbow are an unbelievable band. i love all five albumns.

[Simon0]

this is one of my faves on the albumn.. i also like lippy kids, the birds, and the last track (forgot the title)

[sahnkyxs]

:)

[PaddyPat7]

Just pointing out the obvious here! But Guy must surely be one the coolest and nicest people going!

Would love to go for a pint with him! (and the rest of the band!)

[digireedoo]

Gorgeous song. The whole album is immense and continues to surprise and delight with every listen.

[butterfliesonstrings]

Amazing. So good this band are finally getting the recognition they have always deserved. One of, if not the best band in Britain.

[Vuurpijl00]

This song reaches my inner soul...

[highwireman]

They're just ridiculously good really, aren't they? I can't think of another band that writes remotely in the same league as these boys.

Fantastic to see real good friends and talented musicians revelling in the creation of a beautiful piece of music from very simple components. Could be in the dictionary under gestalt!

[smellmycheese77]

[panicsum]

Big fans of Wilco i'd wager?

[sirak4123]

[sirak4123]

[12345l6789]

The broken piano parts are brilliant

[SlangMusicUK]

@12345l6789 remind you at all of pink moon by nick drake? they're brilliant yeah.

[lufc550]

@12345l6789

Really made the song for me

[nealewiseman]

I went to see elbow in Llandudno 2009 supported by the acorn. The bass drum and acoustic guitar here is very similar to the acorn sound.... Built a rocket boys... Using someone elses parts...LOL

[britierney]

Elbow....Pure fucking genius!!

[oliversenord]

The drummer looks exactly like fessle from the movei 'Four Lions'.

[GeorgeBenedict]

I built a rocket. It burnt my shed down.
