Guy Garvey for me is a lyrical genius. His songs and lyrics always have so much meaning. Having seen them live, you look around and see that the whole audience is in the palm of his hands. Love Elbow...
Listened to this album when it came out. This song always made me think of my brother, the prodigal son if you like and apart from the rest of us. He died three years later at 50 and I still think of him when I hear it.
i would just like to say thank you to the band elbow, your music got me through a very hard time in my life if it wasnt for this song i dont even think id be here, everytime i would listen to this song i would stop feeling so lonely and feel wanted again. once again thank you so much
i am at such a low my friends, i am in a pit of self-hatred and this song just reminds me there will always be those who love me. hundreds of miles away and i still feel their love.
Elbow are one of the best bands in the world, solid lyrics, music and a voice to rival anyone on earth IMO. Thank You Elbow. please never stop making music.
i dont usually listen to this type of music but we did this as a listening exercise in my choir class and I ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT!!!! i love this song sooo much! :)
I played this to my son at full volume on the day he left home to move to Stoke-on-Trent. I told him to listen to the words very carefully and not to forget them. I am still crying!
I FORCED the on my brother who wasn't catching on telling them there would be a huge payoff...he's a fan now....and now if I could get him to "get" Radiohead!
I saw them for the first time 13 years ago and then again just before the lockdown... I wept so many times... they are one of the best live acts, ever. Incredibly beautiful humans -- love just radiates out of them and spreads through all of the souls connected in that moment -- I will see them every chance I get.
My exposure to this band (tipped from a dear friend in the UK...I live in Alaska) has left me awe-struck everytime I hear them. Grounds For Divorce and Fugitive Motel are among my favorites!
What an Amazing song! Very emotional and from the heart. Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. this tune is right up there with "One Day Like This" as my fave Elbow tunes. Allan.
Elbow are a great example of a band that matures over time and delivers great music. I wan't a big fan for many years but this recent album is right up my street. Well done lads.
Elbow are one of those rare bands that should find a way of only ever producing live albums, because as good as their studio albums are, the music is so much better when performed in concert, everything fulls into place when it's live.
Never heard of them before.. Was just watching Children in need rocks manchester on the telly and they are AMAZING!!! Love it ...love it.... love it!!! Beautiful Song!
Utterly amazing song, thank god I found this on iTunes on the Olympics albums. This song and One Day Like This are 2 blockbuster songs for 1 band to have.
Our 26 year old boy Josh, has just suffered a brain haemmorage ( not sure how to spell something that vile), and had brain surgery two days ago.He's on the up and recovering well it seems. Family have been stupendous. Mr Garvey...if you're anywhere near Salford Royal in the next few days...ward B7, Im sure he'd be made up with a visit ( 2pm until 8pm...though theres a quiet hour 5-6pm) and you can't leave the door open in case some of the patients abscond :)
Ka B Wishing your boy Josh the very best! Your message was a month ago so hope he's recovering well now. Break my heart over this song every time wishing my brother were to come home. Unfortunately he had a brain haemorrhage at 19 and didn't survive so he never will.
My brother went of to uni today. The begining especially is relevant "Your a law unto yourself but we can be there for tweeks and repairs should you come back home"
It's rare that i find a newish band i like because my likes for bands are pretty historic (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath et al) at my age but thjis band really is great.Thank you Elbow for rejuvenating my taste in music. :)
It has to have been over 6 years since I've heard this. I haven't forgotten it, but I haven't thought about it either. I wonder what made me think of it after all this time. Maybe it's just that good of a song.😌
Desde que escuche ese tema del juego call of duty 6 y buscandolo es The night will always win quede fascinado por la melodia tan profunda, ahora estoy disfrutando los temas que estan aqui, Wonderfull music !!!!
@Fredfiness I actually wasn't making fun of this song. This song is awesome, but Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Rebecca Black have taken the credit where credit is due. This song is Win, nuff said. I may have misunderstood some people about my comment. Sorry. :) Also, this song is a great one because it's like a carol in christmas time. A really good caroling that makes you shed a tear. This song is pretty much one of my now favorites because it makes me want to sing this when Christmas comes by.
You know what, screw it. People can like Justin Hacker, Lady BlaBla and Rebecca Whacked for all I care, but this song is so heartwarming that I will be singing this for New Year's Eve to say that everything will be ok. :') I have faith that new artists like this, Janelle Monae, The Aquabats and such have given me faith that music shall be saved soon enough. Thanks Elbow for creating this sad yet heartwarming song. It cheered me up after having to listen to Pink Floyd The Wall. Thank you. =)
Magnificent song and a magnificent band. If you like Elbow, have you tried listening to Cherry Ghost and Harp and a Monkey? Two bands from the same part of the world who have a similar (though musically different) sensibility.
This song, being played as loud as possibe, is the only thing that has gotten me thru this past week. Times is hard, music is healing
This song is so comforting and meaningful and I love it
Guy Garvey for me is a lyrical genius. His songs and lyrics always have so much meaning. Having seen them live, you look around and see that the whole audience is in the palm of his hands. Love Elbow...
"The man you are knows the boy you were" Wonderful.
Elbow is just one of the kind. I can't express how this song heals every time I'm down.
Homecoming, redemption, unconditional love. Makes me weep every time I hear it.
Listened to this album when it came out. This song always made me think of my brother, the prodigal son if you like and apart from the rest of us. He died three years later at 50 and I still think of him when I hear it.
Elbow is getting me through it all - God bless their little furry hearts.
What a amazing song brings back lots of good memories ❤️
His lyrics are so brilliantly and beautifully written and sung. Love the raw emotion behind this song.
Essential to the Christmas playlist imo.
And Valentines...
He is a lyrical genius for sure
i would just like to say thank you to the band elbow, your music got me through a very hard time in my life if it wasnt for this song i dont even think id be here, everytime i would listen to this song i would stop feeling so lonely and feel wanted again. once again thank you so much

A song about family and looking after yourself ! I'm missing my family so much at the moment in this lockdown! I need a cuddle!
IM SINGING THIS SONG WHITH YEAR 7 IN MUSIC❤❤❤
True masters at work, their music will be around forever it's timeless, beautiful, excellence!!!!
Best band in the world, years going now. Bar none.
I played this to my son at full volume on the day he left home to move to Stoke-on-Trent. I told him to listen to the words very carefully and not to forget them. I am still crying!
Heartfelt stuff as so often before. Very touching. It's taken me years to really "get" Elbow, but I am slowly becoming addicted....
It only took me two minutes to get addicted! Such talent- I'm blessed to have discovered Elbow!
I FORCED the on my brother who wasn't catching on telling them there would be a huge payoff...he's a fan now....and now if I could get him to "get" Radiohead!
when i saw them play this song live i weeped, especially when Guy sang the chorus and pointed at me.
I saw them for the first time 13 years ago and then again just before the lockdown... I wept so many times... they are one of the best live acts, ever. Incredibly beautiful humans -- love just radiates out of them and spreads through all of the souls connected in that moment -- I will see them every chance I get.
@@MsVegafox I just found my old ticket stub for when I last saw them on tour and it really made me miss it all again!
So many Elbow songs make me cry!
I've only actually recently discovered Elbow, but I've heard so many of their songs before. This is crazy.
This song and video continue to bring tears to my eyes, especially around the holidays. It's a beautiful thing. Thank you guys.
My exposure to this band (tipped from a dear friend in the UK...I live in Alaska) has left me awe-struck everytime I hear them. Grounds For Divorce and Fugitive Motel are among my favorites!
However you got here... we got open arms for you mates. Welcome to Elbow.
Got to hear Elbow for the first time when I was 58 Thank God I found them thank you for the open arms
@@robertsmithson1403 Nice...SO MANY pull at the heartstrings songs....Are you an American?
recién escucho elbow.. realmente me fascinaban muchas canciones, pero ya es hora de volverme un fan
This song is amazing. It makes me cry and smile at the same time especially Ruby who is face down in a puddle 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Same for me, but always looking for the next installment
What an Amazing song! Very emotional and from the heart. Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. this tune is right up there with "One Day Like This" as my fave Elbow tunes.
Allan.
This is one of them songs that sends a chill down my back! I love it!
Elbow are a great example of a band that matures over time and delivers great music. I wan't a big fan for many years but this recent album is right up my street. Well done lads.
I listened to this when my heart got broken. I cried. A lot.
So apt right now...love these guys
Elbow are one of those rare bands that should find a way of only ever producing live albums, because as good as their studio albums are, the music is so much better when performed in concert, everything fulls into place when it's live.
Warms the heart. All the best everyone.
We need open arms right now ❤️ sending love..
Never heard of them before.. Was just watching Children in need rocks manchester on the telly and they are AMAZING!!! Love it ...love it.... love it!!! Beautiful Song!
Utterly amazing song, thank god I found this on iTunes on the Olympics albums. This song and One Day Like This are 2 blockbuster songs for 1 band to have.
thebossman222 ck out their song " sad captains" It is glorious
The chorus is the best part of this song. It has a powerful message.

Sending healing Love and light to your dear Josh.
Ka B Wishing your boy Josh the very best! Your message was a month ago so hope he's recovering well now. Break my heart over this song every time wishing my brother were to come home. Unfortunately he had a brain haemorrhage at 19 and didn't survive so he never will.
I donno whether this beared any fruit but I hope Josh is ok at least :( He is right...?
Ka B - I hope Josh recovered ok :-)
How's my man Josh doing?
This song is just so sweet....
Saw them in the Echo Arena, my very first gig and best moment of my life.
My brother went of to uni today. The begining especially is relevant "Your a law unto yourself but we can be there for tweeks and repairs should you come back home"
Guy Garvey is a great singer and songwriter. Not since Brown, Gallagher, Morrissey, has someone so talented come from Manchester!
What a beautiful song
Great band, great song!
Such a great feeling with this song
Great song! The best of the album. Great artwork as well!
It's rare that i find a newish band i like because my likes for bands are pretty historic (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath et al) at my age but thjis band really is great.Thank you Elbow for rejuvenating my taste in music. :)
I've heard this song before, but I don't know where. I finally knew the name of the band and song after listening to the Music Choice channel.
absolutely beautiful, awe inspiring music.
im all into rap and everything, but my do i love this songg!
Looked Amazing on MOTD Season highlights tonight
This is how music used to be, not comparing the genre of music to The Smiths, but its the same meaningful lyrics and anthemic tone.
Always brings a tear to me eye lovely song ❤
Still listening to this and Craigs back home, Hurray!
Awesome song.... Love elbow
Beautiful!! Right up there with One Day Like This. Makes you sit up in you seat and take on the world...
We got open arms for broken hearts
Like yours my boy, come home again
We got open arms for broken hearts
Like yours my boy, come home again

We've got open arms for broken hearts
Like yours my boy
Come home again

It has to have been over 6 years since I've heard this. I haven't forgotten it, but I haven't thought about it either. I wonder what made me think of it after all this time. Maybe it's just that good of a song.😌
Brilliant. Severely underrated.
When I was six years my godfather showed me this music and his clip, now I rediscover this masterpiece with emotion
What a tune, especially on MOTD 2 :)
They were amazing on Pinkpop!
They are great!
manchester always produce great bands like this.
Excellent music
Song of 2011! I like many artists but this is just something.
great song
Wonderful song. Takes a few listens to come round to it but it's worth it :)
Beautiful artwork for a beautiful song. Great video guys!

How 23 people of come on to this song, and though to themselves, I don't like this, is completely beyond me.....great song!

@BrianIsChill Understood. And yes, I agree that this song does bring a warm and cheery feeling down my heart. :)
That's amazing! I hope you are in a better place now.
Phenomenal at Reading! Good job guys!

Thank God he was singing on the Closing Ceremony!! How could I don't know him??!! :O

Epic Elbow, as usual
lovely!
It broke me heart when this nice song was playing at the end of loss David Haye :((
I plan on travelling the world and making a video with this song as the backing track. It may be a long way away, but I’ll do it.
Effortless and amazing. Cant beat us notheners :)
woooow, enjoy!
