    It's unfathomable how you can bend language like Guy Garvey manages. To describe a gang of scrotes dealing drugs as the BMX apothecary, and an Ecstasy tablet as a 'bitter little Eucharist'; taken before worship at the alter of a dingy dance club.... he's a stone cold genius.

    Just a quick word on this magnificent band, I was very fortunate to sit in a pub and watch them before they were famous, I say pub it was more of a gathering, they then in there obscurity realested asleep in the back, which blew my mind 20 years later they have written and performed to a level which is truly mind blown,I love this band and for me unquestionably the best British band in the last 20 years and probably if they keep writing the next ten years also guy garvey and the boys are suberb may they keep making fantastic records

    I think we are all Sad Captains... it is just somehow easier to see that in children because of their transparency.. As we age, we get better at camouflaging sadness. Like all of us, these children experience all that life offers: happiness, interest, enthusiasm; and then also some sadness, disappointment, insecurity. If we can maintain some inner strength, we ride that rollercoaster with some degree of success which is LIFE.Beautifully done.

      Neil Bowers You aren’t and I’m happy when i see men feeling the vibe. I read some one call it a girly band. I think they are still headbangers or aren’t in touch with their entire character- one that caube sensitive. Elbow has hints of blues and jazz.

    Amazing song and a testament to the amazing over the top talent of these artists. Elbow's "Sad Captains" is a masterpiece!! The absolute perfect waste of time my friends.
