  • Love this song. What a voice this guy has, amazing. Agree with the comments about the key change, my favourite bit. This is on repeat on my cd player at mo;)

  • I WAS THAT CRANE DRIVER!!!

  • I just tried and had the same experience. Total goosebumps!

  • The change at 4.46 send shivers down my spine. This is an amazing song.

  • Heh. No, it's true! If I find the interview again, I'll post you a link on here.

  • Really? Or did you just make that up? Lol

  • Oh, for trivia fans - I read in an interview with Guy Garvey that this song was inspired by a real life tower crane driver that the band met in a bar.

    Apparently, at the start of the evening, he was boasting about how much money he earnt, but by the end of the evening, he was drunk and crying his eyes out about how lonely he was.

  • I saw this song performed live at the Latitude Festival last weekend - Guy's voice was absolutely stunning, as good as any voice I've ever heard live. You could also see he was putting every ounce of his soul into the song.

    Wonderful band - if you haven't seen them live, you're really missing out.

  • just seen them at the festival hall and this song had me tears,hairs standing up on my neck,his voice just goes through you,STUNNING

  • This song is just incredible. Gives me shivers every time i hear it.

    SUPERB.
