Lyrics;
Where were you hiding,
where’ve you been?
It’s been a long time,
coming
You forget the glory,
been suffering
It’s good to see you back again,
smiling
Been trading hearts for thicker skin,
throwing punches without a win
But there’s always a light to draw you in
At least we’re not alone,
now you’ve come to take us home
Well I’ve seen you low down,
and I’ve seen you cry
I’ve seen the holding on for life,
in your eyes
But now I see good souls,
And they’re alright
we’re out of the darkness
and into the light
Been trading hearts for thicker skin,
throwing punches without a win
But there’s always a light that draws you in
At least we’re not alone,
now they’ve come to take us home
Home
Been trading hearts for thicker skin,
throwing punches without a win
But there’s always a light that draws you in
At least we’re not alone,
now they’ve come to take us home

El Loco came to take us home and he did just that. He'll be always remembered and this song sums it all up
Newcastle fan here just watched the last 2 episodes. Great documentary I simply had to come and find this song, beautiful!!!!
I can finally come back to this song and be happy, I hope Bielsa watched that and is happy.
Gracias Marcelo
😄Who's here from the Leeds Documentary?
Everyone is 🤣
I'm here from my own channel :)) it was the next suggested song. NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL. Such an emotional sound. I love it!
Me
friggincanvee definitely 😂
any one who says there here from "somewhere else" should be "shot at dawn". (metaphorically, RAGface).
Found this song as a result of sitting bawling my eyes out watching Take me Home.. not even a Leeds fan but loved watching it.. #marchingontogether
Thank you! xx
I was bawling my eyes out and I am a Leeds fan. The last game when we lose....Man I couldn't watch that until we actually made it back. MOT ALAW!
“Throwing punches without a win” never has a lyric encapsulated Leeds United before god took over. Marcelo brought us pride, dignity, beautiful football and of course Ellen Smith and this amazing song. Whatever path our great club takes, Marcelo will always be remembered by every Leeds fan across the globe 🤍💙💛
Keep coming back to this song this weekend. Ellen, you captured so many feelings, for so many circumstances, so perfectly. Can't believe what's happened. Gracias Marcelo 💙🤍💛
:( xx
As a Sunderland fan, i watched the Leeds ‘Take us Home’ documentary and i can say there has never been a football documentary (minus Sunderland Til’ I Die) that has left me in tears. Great song ❤️
Yeah that was a great comedy show hahahaha
Still amazing. So underated
Still in the light
I am a netizen from China. After watching the Leeds United documentary, I was deeply touched and full of envy for English football. I will always love football. This song is very nice!
It was beautiful and this song epitomizes that moment in Leeds' history books - how fast it can change, how easily it can turn into a nightmare. Thank you, Marcelo.
M a Man Utd fan but just loved this documentary and this song, specially when this was played after derby county loss.. Couldn't help but got overwhelmed and wet eyed, amazing fan base Leeds have got, 16 years of agony and pain in this one track just amazing.. No sports documentary has touched me so much..
Thank you Santosh! xx
This song has the power to move you. Combined with the visuals of Leeds fans celebrating, just amazing!
Thank you! xx
One of the most beautiful things I’ve seen on a television screen
Not heard a voice like yours for a long time. Very soothing like Karen Carpenter. Hope you make more music and albums. I am looking forward. All the best...
@@Harrym207 Thank you! x
@@Harrym207 hope she do'nt end up ya one, Harold.
Just watched the Leeds documentary, the last episode i was in absolute tears, and i don't even support Leeds. But their history, their fans, their passion. Love it, love the song. Love the club. I absolute support Leeds from now. Great song!
Thank you! and welcome. xx
July 2024 and still listening to this underrated masterpiece ❤ 🤍💙💛
Perfectly set the scene for the finale of 16 years in exile. Beautiful voice Ellen . You've made a lot of grown men cry tears of pride & joy . Thank you x
Thank you David! xx
This song with Bielsa's words 😭
Ah man, words cant describe how perfect and emotional it is the moment this starts playing!
@@phjelectrical
hit the nail right on the head their.... i have tears every single time i listen to this song
I hope you understand the words... my goodness, he~s just so poetic. very moving.
Majestic song writing. Ellen captured the past 16 years perfectly. You are a genius Ellen. I want this to be sang in the stands when we return back to Elland Road. "Been trading hearts for thicker skin, throwing punches without a win. But there's always a light that draws you in. At least we're not alone. Now they've come to take us home."
Thank you so much. xx
Man, that is a great idea. I can imagine that chorus being sung at Elland Road - Back Home in the Premier League!
@@jamesdrake8120 would be great .. like the HIbs fans singing Sunshine on Leith at Hampden... it has meaning
Where were you hiding,
where’ve you been?
It’s been a long time,
coming
You forget the glory,
been suffering
It’s good to see you back again,
smiling
Been trading hearts for thicker skin,
throwing punches without a win
But there’s always a light to draw you in
At least we’re not alone,
now you’ve come to take us home
Well I’ve seen you low down,
and I’ve seen you cry
I’ve seen the holding on for life,
in your eyes
But now I see good souls,
And they’re alright
we’re out of the darkness
and into the light
Been trading hearts for thicker skin,
throwing punches without a win
But there’s always a light that draws you in
At least we’re not alone,
now they’ve come to take us home
Home
Been trading hearts for thicker skin,
throwing punches without a win
But there’s always a light that draws you in
At least we’re not alone,
now they’ve come to take us home
If ever there was a song I know my dad would've absolutely adored it's this. I keep coming back over and over. Really wonderful stuff
Welcome back to the Premier League, Leeds! - From an Arsenal fan.
Fail to understand the low view count. The song made the documentary ending even more special!
Keep 'em comin Ellen! Mesmerizing!
Thank you so much! xx
I heard this watching the leeds Utd doc absolute hooked on that program and this song made the hairs on my neck stand up along with the celebrations and bielsa and the fans..I’m a bolton fan and I for one think leeds are where they belong..superb song and superb achievement by Leeds
Thank you so much. xx
My god what a gorgeous voice! Congratulations Leeds fans! Much love from Argentina 💓! Take good care of el loco, he deserves it!
Thank you! xx
This song makes me cry, sweet tears of joy. 💙💛
Ellen, as a 46 year old Leeds fan and season ticket holder I found this song is hauntingly beautiful and is a remedy to most fans sense that they still don't have closure on not seeing us get promotion with fans inside, and the sense of healing the pain of 16 years. I'm not sure I'll ever recover from not seeing those moments but your music helps.
I found not just this, but your version of MOT cathartic and could listen to it every day, but I'd have sore eyes from the years!
I hope they your music gets played inside elland road when we're back.
Keep them coming. 🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨
Thanks James! Glad you're enjoying the music. xx
This must be the most under the radar song on UA-cam. Brilliant vocals, great production. Like most fans we all hate Leeds but couldn't help but feel love for the people of Leeds, this song really worked perfectly. Thank you Leeds, Bisela & Ellen.💮
Haha, thank you! xx
Can't get enough of this song! I don't remember being so moved by anything I've watched before and I'm not even a Leeds fan. Great documentary made legendary by the combination of video and this wonderful song!
Thank you so much! xx
True that! I listen to this song at least once a week.
Listening to this song sums up the feeling most Leeds fans went through over the 16 years. After watching the documentary and listening to this song brought tears to my eyes and how proud I am for Leeds United and the fans. ALAW MOT
Great song great lyrics. From Rosario Argentina, home town of Marcelo. Newells and Leeds!! . Congratulations Ellen!!!
Thank you! Vamos! xx
Manchester United fan here, the story of Leeds 2018-19 and the heartbreaking end, accompanied with your version of Marching On Together whilst watching Kalvin Philips seeking comfort with the fans is pure masterclass.. Shakes you to the core..
Such a beautiful song. The perfect soundtrack to our promotion after so many years and all the nonsense we've had to endure. This is everything.
Thanks Glenn! xx
Not leeds fan but i have a lot of respect to this team ❤️
After many many years of supporting my beloved Leeds, nothing has moved me more than this song, thank you and well done, you have made a grown man cry.
Thank you so much! xx
As a Leeds fan of some 34 years I can honestly say this is the most apt and emotional song for this great club. Well done Ellen...MOT
Thanks Matt. x
The memories this song brings back, absolutely perfect.
Perfect lyrics for a perfect moment ... beautiful voice , beautiful music ... Congratulations Leeds from ARG🇦🇷🇦🇷
Thank you very much! xx
I am watching the series on today in tears so close bleeding Frank Lampard.
One of the most beautiful and moving songs I've ever heard. I can't honestly say i wouldn't have cried if it wasn't there, but to be honest it just tipped me over the edge. Stunning work.
Haha, thank you! xx
Goosebumps every single time. Whenever I have a listen, I can see Bielsa hugging Kalvin Philips, and the "Kalvin Carajo!". What a wonderful moment and what a tremendous song for that montage.
🤍🤍🤍
This song is so powerful, and it deserves to be heard.
Leeds fan through and through and this should of been Number 1, just like the boys...Brilliant and wonderful lyrics!!!
Thanks Anthony! x
8 months on...still just basically on repeat permanently
Leeds fan from Australia. Listening to this again reminds me of watching all those games at 3am in the promotion season, then later watching the documentary in tears. Amazing song, thank you Ellen!
Amazing memories and hopefully many more to come
Just finished the Leeds doc last night, as this song comes on I am tearing up. Had to know the name of the song straight away, and it's been on repeat and forwarded to my best boys. I told back tears every time, just a perfect song
Thank you Kyle! x
Wonderful. Wonderful, just plain wonderful. I see Phillips and Ayling working every inch of their bodies to get us into the Premier league. Every single player working their bollocks off for every single pass. God, I love Leeds and I love this song. I love every player from Meslier to Shackleton to Bamford. I just love it all. COME ON! ALAW!
I'm a Liverpool fan and I must admit this song was absolutely perfect for the ending of Take Us Home. Really emotional. Great song and great documentary
Thanks Hugh! x
Ciao Ellen, sono un tifoso italiano e ho imparato ad amare il Leeds guardando la meravigliosa serie Take us home. Questa canzone è poesia pura!
Can't say how many times I've listened to this. What an amazing song, it fit so perfectly at the end of the documentary. I wasn't a Leeds supporter before the doc but I am for sure one after it
Thank you! xx
I'm here because of my favourite English team Leeds United, and because of this song obviously!
Sporting Portugal💚🤍Leeds United
Loved this from the Leeds documentary, but this song has a sound that would have fitted some of the darker scenes of Sons of Anarchy - truly a stunning piece of music.
The lyrics have nothing to do with football for me, but absolutely captured how I feel on this planet. Beautiful.
Best song I've hears for years thankyou Ellen beautiful true leeds song
Great song......... Marching on together Thanks Ellen
What a beautiful song.😍 Greetings from 🇩🇪. Loved the documentary.
Thank you! x
The voice, the lyrics, the music, an amazing performance that is combined with the images of Leeds United and the the words of Mr Bielsa producing a tidal wave of emotions... Thank you!!!
Thank you! xx
sigh, pictured with the city view in the documentary and everything. I love this song so much
Thank you! x
This song will forever be linked with the return of Leeds to the Premier League. Finally we are home.
This song is perfect 16 years of hurt and to go out on this 💙💛
Just finished re-watching episode two, and my god the whole final sequence (with this song as the soundtrack) had me absolutely bawling my eyes out
Mate, its wrecked me too, more than 'Miley's' wrecking ball ever could!!
It's been a week now I've been listening to this song in loop. It is just so beautiful.
E A R G A S M
Beautiful Ellen. It really is. Had me in tears. X
Thanks Adrian! xx
VAMOS LEEDS CARAJO
I hope this song can also take me home. Regards from Bolivia, Ellen.
Wow. Simply wow. There are very few songs which people listen to in a documentary/tv series, and then google the lyrics to find the original song. This is by far the best one.
Thank you Ashwin! xx
Just finished watching the series.... I am crying while listening this Awesome song
A football fan, tears in eyes, after the doumentary straightaway here. Pure emotions! Thank you for bringing this emotion out. 💯❤️
Thank you! xx
The lyrics of this song is so beautiful! And the voice is just breathtaking.
Thanks Mohammad! x

Truly beautiful song. Perfect ending to the take us home documentary. Thank you x
Thank you! xx
This is exquisite. Powerful in it's subtlety. Lovely recording and mix. Bravo.
Thank you Chris. xx
This song is so calm yet powerful. Listening to it feels like years of agony and bad memories of scrambling in the darkness have just been erased, and a happy realization sets in that you can finally see the lights of your home down the street. You're no longer lost.
I hope more and more people listen to this song.
Magical song, combined with Leeds supporters celebrating and Marcelo ”El Loco” Bielsa, pure MAGIC! The craziest thing is that I’m originally a Manchester United supporter, magical song...
Thank you Erika! xx
"The supporter, the only thing a supporter can provide is his love for the club.
And the only thing he gets in return is emotion.
Because of this reason, the supporter is the best thing in football."
-Marcelo Bielsa
Special song this. Summed up the end of the season perfectly.
Thank you! xx
This is lovely and so apt for the documentary; however, the musical highlight for me was that absolutely beautiful rendition of Marching On Together.
Thank you! xx
beautiful song
Thank you! xx
Go Go Leeds !!
Ive never known an artist to make me ball my eyes out as much. Love your music!
Thank you (&sorry)! xx
@@ellensmith9333 no need to he sorry. Thank you for making such fantastic music xx
"now you come to take us home" with bielsa's word hits me real hard
Marching on together to me is one of the greatest football anthems. This though, says so much. It’s So soulful, it Sends shivers down my spine. It’s Leeds
Thanks Nigel, I'm glad you like it. x
Beautiful. LOVE from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Watched it yesterday, Andrea and Victor going mental at the end was just amazing, they really do care about Leeds as a club and as a city. Really good documentary regardless of which team you support.
Ellen ..this song just tears my heart out .. thank you.. from a Beeston boy ♥️⚽♥️
Thank you! x
Stunning heartfelt song from a Boro fan X.
Thanks Karl! xx
What you have created is ethereal and delicate, the symphony played after overcoming the years of dread, suffering and heartbreaks. Those final moments with your song will remain as a cherished memory for the rest of my life. #MOT
Thank you! x
This song perfectly fits the last part of the documentary. What an amazing song with perfect song. I always "kalvin carajo" , or "patreeeck". ❤️
What a wow. It sums it all up how amazing this song is.. Just watched the episode. I am from Africa. Just became a fan of leeds United just because of this song.
Perfect! Thank you. x

Ellen, from Argentina, thank you so much for what you make me feel listening to you sing. Please keep singing for us. Grande MB!!
Thanks Martin! xx
Beautiful song, beautiful voice and beautiful lyrics. Watching the end of take me home, listening to this, I was already in tears but this song put everything into perspective. All the pain and hurt, to finally get back. Thank you Ellen!
Thank you so much! xx
Amazing song and voice captured the feelings at the end of take us home! Awesome work ellen 👏👏
Thank you David! xx
Even without Marcelo, the players and the supporters in the background, easily the best song I have heard in a long while. Soulful and moving. Thank you!
Thank you so much Julian. xx
Absolutely love this song it sums up all the emotions over the last two seasons for me. Gets me everytime. MOT ALAW
Thanks Dave! x
What a song to finish off a remarkable series allowing us all to follow the return of the iconic sleeping giant that is Leeds United to the top league of English football. This song was the perfect release valve to slowly evaporate sixteen years of mainly downs. Thank you Ellen, and if anybody says they didn't well up at the end when this song kicked in, you're only lying to yourself. ;) MOT ALAW LUFC
Amazing documentary, amazing visuals, amazing song.
Amazing club.
I still feel it should have been under the banner of the All or Nothing series, because that season was literally All or Nothing.
Thank you! xx
This was so amazing, when it started to play in the background. I came running over here
Thank you! xx
Beautiful voice / song / artist / football club.
Thank you Mark! xx
Wow, this song captures every emotion we've gone through these last 16yrs!. I can relate it to a lot of personal issues also. Beautiful song, now where the tissues.
Thanks Tim
