So much life has happened in the 13 years that have passed, so much life has gone by. Are we still building those rockets people? I hope so. Keep smiling, enjoy the good times, the bad and reflect on all your wins no matter how small. 🙌
Being guys age this song resernates so much. Singing about what most kids did at that time. Walking on walls climbing trees. Nostalgic. Also a beautiful song, love it.
I am 16 and I do not understand how this goes under the radar while one direction and Justin beaver are "popular" .... Same with guy Garveys Angela's eyes and other elbow songs like one day like this and grounds for divorce and the birds and.... Well..... Most elbow songs..... Sorry for the rant on this beautiful song's video but please just reply so that I know that I'm not the only one that believes this is easily ten times better that today's pop music....
just a great powerful, but peaceful , song, got my past all over it, well thats what great songs are about a reflection in time, such a treat, well done guys, ps no pun intended.......
Lyrics Lippy kids on the corner again Lippy kids on the corner begin Settling like crows Though I never perfected the simian stroll The cigarettes and it was everything then Do they know those days are golden? Build a rocket boys Build a rocket boys! One long June I came down from the trees and kerbstone cool You were a freshly painted angel Walking on walls Stealing booze and hour long hungry kisses And nobody knew me at home anymore Build a rocket boys! Build a rocket boys Build a rocket boys! Lippy kids on the corner again Lippy kids on the corner begin Settling like crows And I never effected that simian stroll No Do they know those days are golden? Build a rocket boys Build a rocket boys! One long June I came down from the trees And kerbstone cool You were a freshly painted angel Walking on walls Stealing booze and hour long hungry kisses And nobody knows me at home anymore Build a rocket boys! Build a rocket boys Build a rocket boys!
I like how the radio edit has the choir in the chorus but i hate how the piano outro is cut. Kinda pointless since radio never promoted the song, Belgium did a better job.

Makes me tear up every time I hear this song. Beautiful, simple and transports me back to another time. Music gets no better than this...
Underrated. Should be the anthem of humanity.
Guy Garvey is one of the greatest singers today
And song writer !!!
he really is! and he makes it look so easy when you hear him live & in person. the entire band is amazing live.
He's a fantastic singer..
That choir humming in the background just makes this song :)
Gorgeous
He has such a layered, textured voice. I can't think of any singer in the past 10 years with a voice this good
Look into his eyes. He feels every word. That's what makes this magical.

really underrated band!
One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Tears of happiness to hear that something this lovely can exist. Thank you.
Such a beautiful song (as usual) from Elbow. This song sounds so much like night swimming by REM........you can hear it.
Wow.Great comment. Very true
Everytime I listen to this song, I cry.
TERFragette Kim me too
Its the choir. So beautiful.
What camera work. Absolutely fantastic!
Seachlainn O Rourke I’ve watched this countless times and only just realised that it’s one camera for a continuous shot!
Chills every time, anywhere I listen. It's pure nostalgia distilled into a few minutes of Guy's beautiful voice, soothing your soul.
It's so weird to see that such a beautifull song and band doesn't have over a thousand views on this master piece.
Build A Rocket Boys! ;)
I never tire of this masterpiece. Thanks Elbow, real music for the working classes. 💙👍
The best band on Earth
I love the ethos of this song, dream big boys/girls. 🚀
The simplicity of it, the construction of it, the timing, the memories, the genius. So rare nowadays. And yet so annoyingly ignored.
I just heard Elbow a month ago and am floored as to why they are not more popular!
Beautiful. Elbow defines a generation of real, unhampered music. Let is always continue.
Beautiful and evocative

i do love me some good justin beaver
No, you are the only one in the world that likes this music as a teenager. Aren't you a little special snowflake?
+Jolien so I'm the only one who has a good taste of music in my generation. Good to know 😊
yeah sure, whatever floats your boat
Better for us
My favourite song on this album. So real and honest. Great, just great.
Such an under-rated song.
Its sad to see such a song with an incredible message get so little attention.
see them live---wot a treat
Absolutely stunning, God bless Elbow.
This song is so thematic in nature. It is, a musical score , unto it's own self. Such visuals fill my soul when I close my eyes.
Absolutely magnificent, this is the stuff dreams are made of.
I thought this song couldn't get any better. I was wrong.
MIND BLOWING MUSIC LOVE THIS BAND.
I remember watching this live, and thinking "what a performance", very haunting...love it...
Goosebumps
Just Perfect
Studio or Live, same result awesome voice awesome music, which is alot more than i can say for most popular chart music that todays people admire.
Stunning....
just saw them at lythams gonna get you just brilliant!
just a great powerful, but peaceful , song, got my past all over it, well thats what great songs are about a reflection in time, such a treat, well done guys, ps no pun intended.......
Effortlessly beautiful.
So intense! So inspiring! Thanks!
Beautiful x
I'm in tears. How can you top this...
Tears are brought to my eyes
WHISTLING IN A SONG IS VERY COOL!
what a beautiful song
Wat een mooi nummer!!!! Heel gevoelig....
Love this version of the song.
possibly the best song ever. (my opinon dont rage)
every single thing you hear here is awesomeness
Beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your music.
This is music, not some GaGa bull which gets number 1.
Well done elbow :)
i seen them live, it was perfect
Best version. (full stop)
Super muziek = super groep ..
i love it ...i lik it
So Perfect !!!!!!!
Anyone else tear up when you realise there's a whole choir behind him?
Yep.
¡Ésta canción es bellisima!... Cuando él la estaba cantando se le veían los ojos aguados, como con ganas de llorar.
Only 49018 views?! People u r mad... This is just awesome...
Peter Gabriel. But that was MORE than ten years ago. Listen and compare. I love them BOTH.
Exception, this is the only explanation
Heard this for the first time today
Lyrics
Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin
Settling like crows
Though I never perfected the simian stroll
The cigarettes and it was everything then
Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys
Build a rocket boys!
One long June
I came down from the trees
and kerbstone cool
You were a freshly painted angel
Walking on walls
Stealing booze and hour long hungry kisses
And nobody knew me at home anymore
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys
Build a rocket boys!
Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin
Settling like crows
And I never effected that simian stroll
No
Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys
Build a rocket boys!
One long June
I came down from the trees
And kerbstone cool
You were a freshly painted angel
Walking on walls
Stealing booze and hour long hungry kisses
And nobody knows me at home anymore
Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys
Build a rocket boys!
The sad thing is nowadays you nly have to be attractive to be successful in music and its suffocating real genius and talent like this
It's not
2024… WHO IS LISTENING ????
Such an underrated band and this song would have been a top 20 hit 10 years ago. Charts these days make me sick!
Anna Calvi in the beginning!
Build a rocket boys isn't as tuneful as seldom seen kid but seems so much more peaceful and beautiful. Elbow dobn't get the recognition they deserve
YOU ARE 100% RIGHT.
Tunnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Could this song be any better or better performed...
Dont be an empty cup.!!
Musterd
I like live videos, but this one could have made a killer 'music video'.
2 people have no idea what good music sounds like
I like how the radio edit has the choir in the chorus but i hate how the piano outro is cut. Kinda pointless since radio never promoted the song, Belgium did a better job.
Some of the stuff inthe charts suck. Wish there was more stuff like this in there :) cuz elbow r awsome
1 dislike = zero class.
And Irish
You do know that One Direction are English, right?
I have to hand it to Elbow, they make Coldplay sound like The Clash by comparison.
