The best live version of an absolute gem of a song. It always cuts right through me and leaves a lump in my throat, moving me even at times when little else does. It reminds me I'm still alive.
The songs ages with you. And will always be great. Those lyrics were ment to be in the song…. And the piano is hauntingly beautiful. I am thankful that I stumbled upon it a lot of years ago… can’t imagine not knowing this beauty.
After I saw Elbow this year on Werchter, my soul never felt that close to my body. Really, what they do is amazing. Good harmonies, good voices, good melodies, best lyrics, beautiful and professional people (just look at his smile on the ending of this video) standing on stage. This is real art to me. They bring me the magic of the world. For some people, the idea of God lightens up their world, but to me God is ART. Now, let's listen one more time :)
This song really moves me. After such a song, you realise how precious your youth is, and that you should enjoy your life, it can be over so soon, look at the lives lost at Pukkelpop 2011. I have never gotten goosebumps on my arms and tears in my eyes by a song. This band is truly amazing!
Amazing. Its melancholic reflection on the simplicity and beauty of youth is truly moving. It has inspired to value my teenage years and to make the most of my life :)
I just saw them live ...... 2 hours ago in Antwerp belgium. It was so .... ... I can't find the words .... oooh yes I do .... the corect word is ..... mindblowing !
Saw them in Paleis 12 in Brussels. Very good live voice even after 20 pints because he's drinking the whole time! I would fall of the stage but he just keeps on singing perfect!
wel wel , vijf jaar later en nog steeds kippevel van dees nummer!! five years later and stil geting goosebums. De editors doen het met een jaartje langer met dit nrke Editors - No Sound But The Wind= anothers goosebum story, year older.@rock werchter
Geweldig op werchter 12. Achteraan ergens in het gras liggen, maar toch nog op het grote scherm alles mee kunnen kijken, op de eerste dag van de vakantie na Rise Against en Blink 182 :) dat was puur genieten.
Guy Garvey doesnt just sing..he brings the crowd into the song and just fills you with love.
Simply beautiful…always makes me feel so emotional and evokes such memories of growing up in the 70’s on a council estate in Nottingham.
I’m a council lad from Nottingham in the late 60s - 70s & it does sum
Up my growing up ❤

Beautiful comment my friend
This song makes more and more sense as I get older.
Me 2 !!! 👊👊

Still. Beautiful. I will keep coming back…
Those golden days are everything. Don't waste them. You'll have more. Don't waste any of them.
This is the most beautiful song Elbow has ever made.
This song is now officially on top of the list of songs to play at my funeral. :p
Too bad I won't be there to enjoy it :)
I’ve always loved the message of this song , kids will be kids, but boys dream big, build a rocket boys build a rocket boys !

Ah its just beautiful to see that sense of togetherness in the crowd, and also the silent appreciation of such a wonderful song. :)
Manchesters finest.
Thank you GG.

Just what I needed to hear in this moment.
oo, it's just gorgeous, isn't it. Goosebumps an' all - every time.
I like the small cup of beer at the beginning - not to much, just enough to quench a thirst and clean the chords. Very subtle just like the song.
This almost made me cry when they played it at Leeds last year. Ugh, it's just so poignant and beautiful.
his voice makes me travel around the world ....
The call-and-response with the whistles is so wonderful.
I love the way this song resonates with my soul :-)
Gives me goosebumps
What a voice, what a showman. Love them.
What I would give to see Elbow live here in Korea. We Soldiers would love it!
Finally I'll see this IRL at Werchter 2019! Glad you guys got added to the Roster guys! Goosebumps already
😍 It was amazing
Absolutely!! :D
I just saw them live ...... 2 hours ago in Antwerp belgium. It was so .... ... I can't find the words .... oooh yes I do .... the corect word is ..... mindblowing !
Watched them at MEN Manchester and we all whistled perfectly together....brilliant night.....never forget it...!
Saw them in Paleis 12 in Brussels. Very good live voice even after 20 pints because he's drinking the whole time! I would fall of the stage but he just keeps on singing perfect!
STUNNING MOST STUNNING TRACK! XXXXX

Guy sings this right into all these young boys and girls hearts aswell into my old one..no ears involved.

One of the few songs with no dislikes here on youtube, and it's well deserved without a doubt. I have no words for this (:

Most retarded comment I read all year
his voice sounds fucking perfect!! it sounds exactly like on the CD, amazing!
saw them at a festival about a month ago, great fucking band!!
Wonderful clip - off to Belfast late August, cannot wait.
Saw them at Rock Werchter this year and they played this song! It was awesome!
Hopefully they play this song again during Rock Werchter 2012... This song is amazing.
very nice song, amazing voice (great)
the simpliest performances make the best ones.
Perfect!
There are very few bands whose live albums are actually better than their studio ones, Queen was one Elbow is another.
Glorious

Is Guy Garvey not the nicest man in the world???

Yep en "goose bumps" in het engels.... Maar ik begrijp wat je bedoeld.
Kijk er dit jaar al terug naar uit.
