Music video by Elbow performing One Day Like This. (C) 2008 Polydor Ltd. (UK)
2013, I found out I was pregnant, started bleeding. Waited for 4 agonising days for the scan. It showed a healthy heartbeat. I cried so hard, couldn't wait to see my mum to tell her the good news.
As I crossed the road from the hospital, she happened to drive by. She pulled over, as I got in, "one day like this a year would see me right" just played, I cried so hard with joy. That moment, this song, means the world to me. 6 years on. Mum had dementia, but still remembers that day.
This is probably the most beautiful thing IV read,I don't really believe in God or that,but this is a sign,there is more to life to what we can see or touch, something devine..
Bless your family ✌
How’s the baby?
How is the baby ?

I suffer from depression and anxiety and listening to this song makes me feel uplifted and a bit of optimism.
I suffer from depression too, .it really helps me as well.stay safe and strong x
Stay strong ❤
I suffer from depression and anxiety as well I can feel you :)
You guys keep listening. I don’t suffer from depression, but on a shit day, whatever the weather or time of the year, this is my go to tune. Be safe guys
Yes!!! This song gave me such relief during a dark period 8 years ago. I'm recovering from 4 days of high anxiety (I wonder why), remembered this song, and here I am.
For anyone interested, the talented lad spinning the sign is David Lemke, and this was his job with AArrow Advertising in L.A. Street sign spinning is a way for companies to advertise in areas where there are restrictions on putting up signboards.
Thanks for posting, I have often wondered who he is and hope he got some kind of recognition!
Thank you for that comment. I hope they (Elbow) paid him well.
Thanks. Are there restrictions on holding street signs? but I guess Street sign spinning is more eye catching.
He looks like a cool guy! And the vid is captivating , really nicely shot!
Hi. Thanks for that onfo, oddly enough I've just post asking who he is. Music beautiful. Talents of the young lad exceptional. ❤😊😊
To anyone reading this, know that there is a place in this world for you, share the love, and keep fighting the good fight.
This was the last song I listened to with my beautiful late Son it means the world to me but now cry every time I hear it . Sweet memories of a sweet boy ❤
Love to you x
So sorry for your loss, wishing you a lot of strength. Such a beautiful song to remember him ❤️
@@TCeiling Thank you for your kind words ❤️
@@FluffY-vf7ck Thank you ❤️
So awfully sorry to read this, hopefully you can draw some strength and comfort when you hear the song.
That year at Glastonbury when they played this as the sun set in the background... iconic festival moment but also just a perfect moment of celebration and unity for humanity. Kudos, Elbow. You did that.
This was a truley majestic moment for me it was my first big frstivsl a couple of thousand others can appreciate.. i never did hav

I wish I were there
My mother loved this song so we had it played at her funeral 29 Oct 2021. Made me smile through all the sorrow. RIP Mum. She was 85 by the way. Loved her music.
My mum died 13th October 2021. We miss her so much 😢
❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss.May she rest in peace Karin. She will always be with you.
@@delby66 Thank you for you comments on my mother's death. X
I had this song played at my nannys funeral today aged 79, this song seems to connect so many people! stay strong
Summer 2011, Leeds Festival, UK. Sun was scorching, I was with my mates, we had beer aplenty with Elbow on the main stage belting this out and the easily 100,000 person crowd singing along. A memory that will live with with me forever.
Must have been a nice day mate, it's a good tune but don't even think I could name another elbow song.
@@mattgosling2657
Me neither,BUT just knowing this song exists makes my day a better day.
I was at Reading that year, stood in the crowd with my mates, watching the sun slowly go down as this song was being performed remains one of my greatest memories. Everything was perfect.
Hi
Wasn't there mate, but getting goosebumps thinking about it.
One the most beautiful songs ever composed/sung.
just said that to my wife ... it sure is
I concur,violins were never used better.
Truer works were never spoken
Made by one of t best bands still around...
Clearly havent listent to 6ix9ine gooba
The only memory I have of my Dad before he died was sitting in the car and he playing this song. That was 11 years ago and there isn’t a day that I don’t you miss. Love you Dad🙏
Edit: Nine months late but thank you all for your lovely comments, reading through them have helped me a lot. People can be awful, but you have shown us that we can be truly inspiring. 🙏
one day like this a year would see me right 💛
Keep playing it, Adam. The song is a gift of memory he gives to you.
Keep smiling.....Sending love mate ✌️♥️👊
He’d be proud bro x
powerful commnet mate. I'm a 49 year old with major tears in my eyes. Good tune init!
What gets me about this song is how amazingly I associate it with waking up on an early summers morning with the sun glaring through the window. Knowing it'll be a beautiful day.
Perhaps it's nostalgia, but this song truly captures that feeling.
Phenomenal song. Never let our kids down, let them realise their talents.
Andy Haldane best keep them out of the school system then.
Group/shared home schooling is best if you can arrange it, and keep them away from the TV.
When they start asking for branded goods, give them the talk before they are lost forever.
Huge Amen to that. Our kids are our legacy.
@@Jack-bf6hvpretty dark view. It’s been 3 years. How has it worked out?
I’m going to play this song when we come out of lockdown. Stay safe everyone
Thank you, Polly Rose. You stay safe too
Fuckin A!
The perfect song to play!!
Good idea polly from a grimsby fan.
You'll have a long wait then.
Such a beautiful song, played it at my dad's funeral 5 yrs ago, so uplifting 😊
My deepest of condolences and hope your all doing okay now
I was the groom,and I chose this as our wedding song nearly 12 years ago...I think I made the right choice. 12 yrs married to a beautiull wife,father to a beautiful daughter ,made a lot of wrong choices in my life,but this wasnt one of them😊 peace❤
This was my wedding song I chose for my wife and I 10 years ago this September.
I think, this is the most perfect song. It is so beautiful, brings a tear to my eyes every time I hear it. Despite the crap life throws at us, our sadness our losses - life is beautiful and this song captures it perfectly. A masterpiece in song writing and composition - hearing it live oh my
There is a guy who loves his mundane job, respect to this young man.
❤️
I honestly didn't think much of this song when it was first released. But it was my friend Hazel Davies favourite song and was played at her funeral. Since then I listen to it all the time and now appreciate what a brilliant, uplifting song this is. One of the best records of the last 20 years. Thank you Elbow
a good friend from the uk recommended this song to me, and wow. good music, good vibes... it's so awesome to see so many people sharing the love in the comments too! in the face of hate and anger towards one another, i'm glad there can be places where it's just pure camaraderie even between strangers
I’m from round were Guy Garvey is from (the guy singing the song) and the northern British twang is something incredible
How that chap doesn't have a big audience standing around him! He's amazing on that sign! I think he makes the song even ;)
Bitter Sweet Symphony of the 00's

This comment!!!! My 2 favourite songs!
Spot on!!!
Was amazing to see Elbow Performing at Buckingham Palace for the Elizabeth Jubilee celebrations. What a celebration that was!
Walked down the aisle to this when we got married at Pikes, Ibiza last year. Wake up to it every morning as it's my alarm clock. Reminds me of how incredibly lucky and blessed I am to walk this Earth and have my husband.
It's my alarm clock too!
me and my husband had this for our wedding
We had this at our wedding 2 weeks ago ❤️
i don’t cate
Beautiful comment
Still a beautiful song even after all these years.
I love this music video. When you're falling in love with someone, the most mundane things and tasks are suddenly beautiful. This captures that.
tazzi274 what drugs are you on mate
Sad Alcoholic lmao
Genevieve Hartman Beautifully said. I couldn’t agree more.
Cool. I remember seeing them at a festival and just thinking the 'one day like this a year will see me right' so true.
No, I just think he's bored in a crappy job.
is about appreciating the beauty of the present moment, despite any struggles that one might have in life. The singer reflects on a indescribable feeling of contentment and joy, and wonders if it is love that has created this feeling. He reflects on how precious and fleeting this kind of moment is and wishes to be able to have a "one day like this" in each year. He emphasizes how powerful happiness and joy is and encourages the listener to open their curtains wide and let the present moment in. The song is a reminder to enjoy and appreciate beauty in life, no matter how small.
Gotta be the song of rhe 21st century. It goes to show that a northern accent can be melodious. Pure poetry. And a karaoke favourite fir many.
Throw those curtains wide.... perfect line !! Love to you all from Holland.
Thank you. God bless you.
How come one song like this can change your entire mood, this is wonderful
Ikr!? The gentle waves of tones cradle you. Another great song that helped me tremendously is This Is The Sea by The Waterboys. Video with the ocean waves... perfection. Hope you enjoy.
What a fucking tune.
Nothing else has to be said.
Too f right x
Fucking right. It's exceptional. Really.
@@jonwatson654 f ING right beautiful song x

This song never fails to inspire. The perfect mood lifter when you feel like nothing is going right for you. Turn up the volume, feel the sunshine on your face and allow this magnificent song to instantly energise and fill your weary soul with a welcome, rejuvenated zest for life. A heartfelt thank you to Elbow.
One of the finest songs ever written
The music video is so simple but something about it made me really smile and enjoy living for a few minutes more☺️☺️☺️
Life is what you make of it.
Brilliant tune, brilliant lyrics, brilliant video.
I've always seen holding a banner at intersection etc as a soul destroying job. This guy proves that with a live spirit and soul, any task can be made beautiful.
My favourite feel good song.
The band Talk, Talk did a song called... Life's what you make it
Played this on the morning that I officially retired. Was living /working in Beijing at the time... bags were packed, sun was shining, car was waiting to take me to airport.... I needed a song to get the journey/retirement life off to a good start.. 40 years of working Bye ! 5 years in polluted Beijing Bye... One day like this year will see me right. Yes One day like this indeed !
Think of my departed brother every time I here this fantastic song it was played at his funeral
Only two days ago I came across this song. Then I looked for the official video and it’s this. This young man tells a story and it’s beautiful in its perfection and simplicity. The song and video together are mesmerising ❤
Really needed to hear this now with the world as it is....beautiful days will return
Perhaps... you be the stone that makes the ripples of "beautiful days" emanate to others around you 😉
I try to everday @lesliejackson149
Loat my dad 5 weeks ago and we played this at his funeral. Beautiful song
I'm sorry for your loss karen. Your Dad sounds wonderfully positive. Now go live the life your Dad would want you to live! You must 😉
Somewhere, amongst all the mundane and crap in life, there is beauty in the most ordinary things........and sometimes, the most ordinary days are the best.
I get a kick from just getting synchronized traffic lights when driving down a long street. Life's little "there you go" s 😊
We have mostly all heard this anthem, but I imagine the lyrics have bypassed many. This northern powerhouse band are probably the best mostly undiscovered band of our time. Just listen to the words of true beauty , they certainly fill my eyes every time.
I know, these lyrics are akin to a Romantic poem, or something by Sylvia Plath, just pure imagination and potential.
The feel-good anthem of the decade
Michael Hope : No argument there!.
Anthem (noun) "a rousing or uplifting song identified with a particular group, body, or cause.". Your statement should read 'Anthem of the decade' or better still 'My anthem of the decade'.
Utter pish
Radiohead
Michael Hope great tune
I woke one morning and this song was on the radio and thought this was the best day of my life turns out it was the worst, still the song is great, 👍👍🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Gerard Jinks dude, the worse days present the best lessons!
What a beautiful song
Has been, is and always will be.
Like the Holy Spirit who raised the talent of Elbow just that little bit higher.
Man, the song that everyone has heard but no one knows the name.
it took me a while to find this song
Cow Norris took me five years xD
Blu Wulf
Ikr, the struggle is real 😂😂😂
Whenever im out of breath i breathe the tune and it works
Glad I'm not the only one!
This was one of my beautiful brother Stephen's favorite songs, we played it at his funeral two years ago.
Seems like yesterday! We love and miss you always!!
YKMF
jeanne carmont sad ☹️ rip x
I feel your loss Jeanne. It was played at my cousins funeral. Brings the tears. But great memories too. I've no idea who you are but we have this in common. Take care X
sorry for your loss rip
He’d be proud bro x
Suffer badly with depression etc.. This lightens the soul and makes you a bit better in your head space. I the music + lyrics are amazing.
keep thinking right and keep going Teresa please x
@@debraglendinning7038 am trying but with years of hell and still on going it's hard.
❤️❤️
Loon up elbow bbc orchestra.... Unfortunately they removed this song, bit just watching the other songs they composed, an amazing band for sure
Wishing you well. I’ll offer up a prayer for you, too. Hoping today brings you joy, if you get to read my message of course 😃
This is one of my dads favourite songs - it’s going to be playing at his funeral next week ❤
Reading all everyone has to say - this beautiful song brings us together, we're human, we love, we hurt, we are beautiful! Thank you Elbow - thank you Guy Garvy!! Speak aloud, say your truth!
We should all throw those curtains wide xx
The most amazing and beautiful song ever 🥰❤ still amazing after many years ❤ xx The most Amazing song ever many thanks Elbow you are amazing ❤🙏🥰❤️xx
I feel this song has such a strong message that no matter what, you have to love what you do.
He'll take someone's eye out, throwing that sign around like that. 😄
What an amazingly talented young man with his condo board. What an amazingly brilliant song.
Simply beautiful song.
Beatiful Lyrics
Oh god must have watched this video 12 times. Just mesmerising beautiful song. That young lad is spectacular to watch. He's very gifted. ❤❤❤
David Lemki is the young lad. Works trying t sell
Condos!!! What a waste of his talent!! Hope someone noticed him snapped him up and took him to a higher level and earn proper pay for beautiful skill he he has. Good luck David.
Probably God watched it many more than 12 times!
The Holy Spirit inspired it, after all...
I've been rewinding it over and over (rewind so I'm not forced to watch opening commercial) and then... after a few times... you notice... as you're rewinding? The "most replayed" grey bar is... steady right across! LOL Lots of people rewinding (as they should)! Check it out, you'll see. Now THAT'S a sign of a very desired video!
This was my sisters wedding song,hearing this after 11 years is crazy teleported me right back too happier times,feels like yesterday looking back
Try not to feel that is all is behind us. Now is the time we really choose between good and evil. That choice has never been plainer, when one man threatens and puts fear into millions. As Jesus taught us, we should pray for Putin to throw his curtains wide as well, and see the light. Before it is too late. We can do this...
I got permission from our vicar to walk down to this with my 14 year old son giving me away in 2019 this song holds so many memories ❤
This song was played at my youngest brother’s 3rd birthday party when we had a slideshow with a load of his pictures on. This song brings back memories because we were told he was never going to talk and now, 4 years later, I’m able to have a full conversation with him.
Edit: I have to make myself smile otherwise I would just cry at this song.
I love to see comments like these. That's amazing 😊
@@danielorourke2393 Thank you so much x
Brilliant
So uplifting
the love i feel for this song is so overwhelming it almost brings me to tears
Watching this time after time....still makes everything better.
Producer "how northern do you want this song to sound "
Guy Garvey "yes"
I've heard people say that before and I don't know what they mean, what distinguishes the northern English sound?
I'm from up north ish , Nottingham. Been living in Southern California since 1993 . Great songs sound great no matter where you are..
@@fedmcglowie7240 our heart 😊
@@fedmcglowie7240 Josh my man, you have to be English to understand👊😎 Guy is from Manchester U.K ( Bury to be exact) The North of England is a different world to the South (London etc.....) ....totally different people, different attitudes, different lives....and Guy is basically singing about a feeling every single male in the North of England has had in their lifetime.....me included😁👌....
@@steverowlands338 up the north
Great band. Great song. Never heard of Elbow (they've not gotten play in the US) before the platinum jubilee concert but going to find more songs.
Try Grounds for Divorce. The opening line is amazing! Enjoy, Mondays are for drinking…
Just love their laid back style of music.
Why the hell have i only heard this song now at 39 years old! Hard to admit but it makes me extremely emotional. Its a masterpiece.
Lucky you! I just discovered it today... and I'm 50% older than you! Cheers to music that hits one's soul... no matter their age 😁
This song holds one of the biggest memories of my life and I cry every time I listen to this sing wishing I could re love it.
This was the first song I heard after my son was born. Its so so special. I remember havi g to park up because I couldn't see. Absolutely beautiful.
There's not a song in the world that isn't improved by violins.
Indeed. Idlewild - You Held The World In Your Arms.
Never say that around Paul McCartney.
Bittersweet Symphony?
What about die very rough?
This comment has not received the recognition it deserves. A soaring violin literally raises a person's vibration and lifts the soul. An instrument of the Gods!
My mother passed away on June 2, 2020, after a 7 year battle with dementia. She would have been 91 on June 23. I was blessed to have her living at home with my family and I, giving her constant love and attention during her transition. I played this song every day since March to entertain her and to keep my own sanity.
Ok
watched this vid several times and today it's first time i'm in love with this guy dancin with this thing
I listen to this song for the first time when I was in a bad time four years ago. Today, I listen to it and it makes me that I have hope for a brighter future.
A kind of psychotherapy and much better than an expensive therapist that does not help at all.
Hi Gabriel 👋 You should also check out the song This is the Sea... by the band The Waterboys. Suggest you watch the video with the huge waves. I was stuck in a holding pattern, not sure where to step next. That song helped me out tremendously. I hope it does for you too. Better days ahead... better days ahead 👍
ThIs song has meant so much to so many people. It heals my soul reading stories. One day if we're lucky, we'll all find our wonky stick.
It's an old saying, but means volumes!. Blessed Be all!. ✌
The Ultimate go to song when feeling a wee bit down .. never fails.
true
OMG I'm literally crying I've had this song stuck in my head for a year and only just found out who sings it and the name of the song so I could listen to it hallelujah!!!!
Cath Tifferson I love when that happens
Cath Tifferson , it does exactly the same to me !
Elbow singing that john lewis advert
Me too 😍😍 xXx
what one
Memories of driving from Aberdeen to Edinburgh at silly o’clock listening to radio 4’s desert island disques with special guest Philip Craven. Motivational story and this song was so inspirational for my son’s one 50 metre swim!
Only heard this song recently its brilliant
This song has a calming effect on my mind
Can't believe it's 100 days until this is our first dance song as Mr & Mrs! :)
i hope it went well 🥺
What a song ....... there is love in this world , music is the key
forever a masterpiece in songwriting ....
When "Hey Jude" Meets "Bittersweet Symphony" ❤❤x
This song reminds me of Liverpool absolute class ❤️
What an Anthem !! Song of the Century !!
I hope my new fella likes the song so I can introduce him to the most fantastic group in the world with tickets for Hull in May ❤
Played this song at Grans funeral a few months ago. She was 93 and this was her favourite song of last 30 years. Everytime it was on tv/radio we would put it on for her, or even just stick this video on tv. She had great taste!
This song forced me to hold on to hope many a day. I love it. The lyrics for me are inspiring. ❤️☮️
Inspiring is connected with being filled with the Spirit.
The one who inspires human genius into transcendence.
It's the Holy Spirit in and with and behind and beyond the song that can allow us to hold on to hope.
And of course He is the Spirit of love and truth.
When we truly "see" the curtains have been thrown wide...
A beautiful sentiment.. well received brother ✌️☮️❤️
The harmonies really reach out and grab my attention
This is one of the best music videos ever
One of my nan’s favourite songs, everytime I hear it just reminds me so much of her singing along to it, happier memories
Hugs 🤗
The song I walked down the aisle to...totally amazing!
Beautiful lyrics, but the violins and orchestra just magical.❣
SAW ELBOW PERFORM THIS LIVE IN CARDIFF .MIND BLOWING,IF YOU EVER GET THE CHANCE TO SEE THIS BAND ,GO YOU WILL NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED. CLASS ,SHEER CLASS .MANCHESTER ' S FINEST. MAKES ME PROUD TO BE BRITISH! !!!!!!!!!!
When i had just moved to Los Angeles to take on my dreams, I was scared out of my mind. I had gotten a job at a gaming coming, EA, to supplement my living. they had free compilation CDs there and I took one. This song was on there. I listened to this song for months. Happy to have rediscovered it. Also such a hat tip to the fact that the video is shot in LA
Wow, that guy really loves his job xP
This is one of my all-time favourite uplifting songs. You can't fail to be mesmerised by the lyrics. ❤
Love that Guy remains true to his Northern roots by signing with his natural accent.
One of those songs that seemed to suddenly come from nowhere, and yet was part of our souls all our lives.
Quite so!
magical song! a true Masterpiece, wonderful lyric, feeling, emotion, melody....Gorgeous tune, song, experience......
An all time classic ... mark my words this will still be popular in 50 years time
Hope so. Not convinced by the view count though.
@@seankilburn7200 Most ppl who love this song come to YT somewhat infrequently; they're busy with everything elsewhere 🤗💜 - they mostly get their music live, & listen on cd or streaming. (YT?! Well,
occasionally🙄🤭🙏🇬🇧)
The best lyricist ever. "Kiss me like a final meal."
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL 🥰❤️🦋🌈
