This is my daughters song, I selfishly went though a rough time while her mum was pregnant. I listened to this on my ipod everyday on my way to work. My alarm clock went off on the morning after she was born, and it was this. Shes 9 months old now and I listen to it as often as I can. I might have lost things, but they were material, I've gained the most important thing I ever could. I love you Cally, with all my stupid heart!
This is probably one of the most uplifting songs I have ever heard.... I hope that anyone out there struggling in life have thrown their curtains wide and realised they are not alone and can overcome anything.... ♥️💪
Guys, BadcatV put it perfectly. Subjective, music is a subjective topic. Its a beautiful thing that causes debates to prosper but an actual argument should never be an outcome of it. Just appreciate the music and love it.
What I love about this video is how it shows the way music can transcend you from the humdrum. OK, so you have what could be a boring job. So you put in your ipod, and it becomes a beautiful day. Glorious.
Don't know why this didn't get to number 1, it is an amazing song as is every song on the album. It should be released again and we should all make sure it gets to the top of the charts where it belongs!
They were great at Glastonbury. Looked so pleased to be performing on the main stage. Guy Garvey got the crowd going, and we got a memorable performance.
I can remember watching this live at Leeds last year. It went on for 8 minutes and it was that emotional that by the end everyone was just hugging eachother. Absolute Brilliance.
"Hi, I'm Guy Garvey, lead singer of Elbow, and you're listening to my finest hour....blah blah blah....engineer who worked with Elbow...blah blah, my trip to York...namedrop, namedrop...my very good, dear friend friend Jesca Hoop...condescending music recommendation...blah blah, Elbow Elbow Elbow etc"......................S*H*I*T*E
hahahahahahahaha i looked at this guys profile and he just goes and bitches on loads of different songs! total nob'ed, if you don't like it don't fucking watch it!
That's just rubbish, I just don't happen to like what you like...which includes self-indulgent 'radio personalities' from Manchester...take your northern football teams, your Eccles cakes & herd mentality & begone with you, insufferable yokel!
Radiant with joy and implied promise. Simply said, pure beauty at its perfection. This shimmers and sparkles with the cool burn of a mid summer sunrise.
I love this video because unlike other music videos, it doesn't force an interpretation of the song on you. Like they could've come up with a storyline for this video of a man and woman in love or something else cliched, but instead it's just a video of a working man making a boring job fun. He's making a beautiful day out of something that has become routine to him.
I absolutely love this song. It’s my favorite, and my favorite band, and I could listen to it everyday and not tire of it. Didn’t even realize how old it is.
Wow... It was like I was entangled by his talent and the song was just there. It was so god dam perfect. It was like for once, if even for 4 minutes, I was somewhere not on this planet. This, ladies and gentlemen, is music; this... is art.
Why's it a waste? It allows Elbow's brilliance and their beautiful lyrics to shine and come to the foreground rather than taking the attention away from them.
No of course, but realistically this is the beauty of music. The fact that it is all subjective and it allows us to express our own feelings better than most other mediums, whilst creating healthy debates on what is and what isn't good music.
I see people like this all the time where I live. Some of them are really good. There used to be this fellow with a photo of his kids asking for money as a "desperate father" and somebody realized he was good at holding a sign on the highway and put him to work doing this. The first time I saw him, he was dancing and looked happier than I had seen anybody in the longest time. Within a month he was like this guy.
I was standing in a moving train, with the working crowd in the morning and the sunshine coming through the window when i first hear this song in my MP3. It just blew mind.....
My mrs just bort a lil son lewis into the world man - saw the birth man it was amazing. that was friday, 2day my dog had her pups all 11 - thats right 11. been a good end to the week. this song will make me remember the joys of life, so simple yet just so much can go from a few simple things. Godbless yall!
This video is such a simple idea, but couldn't be more perfect for the song and it's lyrics. The most mundane task is turned into such a beautiful, optimistic, and innocent slice of joy. Just a brilliant video in it's simplicity!
This is simply brilliant!! A song that brings out euphoria in me!! It makes me feel so good and alive and fantastic and yet I can end up in tears!! Must be one of my favourite song of all time, awesome, stunning, brilliant!
after listening to this song I always get depressed, but I return to it because of the marvellous delivery. beautiful and depressing! than I have to listen to some uplifting biblical preaching to recover :)
I hadn't connected the song and vid in that way and am glad you put it that way. I was happy with the mix before, but seeing him as a man in the grips of bliss is even better. Thanks!
lovely song and awesome video, very clever :-) can't help but watch all the way through. this is someone who can make the best of any situation, quite happy entertaining himself, and excelling in it!
been looking ages for this. googling different things. i had you at: video guy spinning sing beautiful day. Much love for this beautiful dude giving it his all for probably a minimum wage. Much love for Elbow. Cant lick it but love it
Man, only now, 2 years virtually to the hour do those words suddenly hit home with the irony of the moment. Life has a sneaky way of kicking you in the nuts and reminding you of everything in seconds.
Simply love it... the best song of all this years albums... Absolutely brilliant both the lyrics, the music... and the feelings! a 10, without a doubt.
I pass a guy like that every day and he has really cool hair and dances really well!! I'm dedicating this to that guy because he doesn't care what people think of him :)
#15 on UK iTunes at the moment. Come on let's keep downloading this song and get it into the Top40 again and outpeak it's original peak. Criminal that this song only got to No33. Brillant song Thumbs up if you want this to happen
TheHitDetector, I totally agree! Would be an excellent Christmas number one. Come on Elbow re-release this so we can have a perfect christmas listening to your amazing voice. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
never fails to put a smile on my face!!!! just epic! i was lucky enough to see these guys live at glaastonbury and i wouldnt stop smiling afterwards :D im still smiling to this day :D
There's something endlessly classic about this song.
The fact that it's Hey Jude with different lyrics perhaps?
This is the best song to listen to while driving through the English countryside. Absolutely beautiful.
+i'mfeelingsupersonic .I agree,sounds better in Scotland though.
As an English man I totally agree ❤
@@pablojohnstini1237Scotland is far better country to drive for scenery

This is my favourite song of all time, I can play this over and over and never tire of it... BRILLIANT....
Love this song! The orchestra music is beautiful
Happiest tune of the century.
I voted for this as the greatest song of the decade. There has not been a song so mind-blowing as this in the last 15-20 years... Fantastic song!
Perfect, inspirational, amazing. An anthem to last forever. Well done, Elbow
+Michael Hope Yes inspirational, upllifting and love the northern accent (same as mine).
Guys, BadcatV put it perfectly. Subjective, music is a subjective topic. Its a beautiful thing that causes debates to prosper but an actual argument should never be an outcome of it.
Just appreciate the music and love it.
which way are the condos?
What I love about this video is how it shows the way music can transcend you from the humdrum. OK, so you have what could be a boring job. So you put in your ipod, and it becomes a beautiful day. Glorious.
What I want to know is, in which direction are the condos for sale?
Northeast
I get this video its the carefree happiness of just being alive, I love days like that
There's going to be one really pissed off driver on that road somewhere trying to find condos
Don't know why this didn't get to number 1, it is an amazing song as is every song on the album. It should be released again and we should all make sure it gets to the top of the charts where it belongs!
WHICH WAY TO THE CONDOS, MAN?? IS IT LEFT OR RIGHT, MAKE UP YOUR MIND
They were great at Glastonbury. Looked so pleased to be performing on the main stage. Guy Garvey got the crowd going, and we got a memorable performance.
PLAY THIS AS LOUD AS YOUR EARDRUMS CAN POSSIBLY TAKE IT ,THEN TURN TO ELEVEN

Isn't experiences like that the true beauty of music? :)
I'll still be watching this in fifty years. Pure class. Video and song superb.
Surely one of the greatest songs ever written and a very fitting video. Simple and effective.
I love this video because unlike other music videos, it doesn't force an interpretation of the song on you. Like they could've come up with a storyline for this video of a man and woman in love or something else cliched, but instead it's just a video of a working man making a boring job fun.

That dude has the best job in the freeking world. Showing people the way to the condos, dancing on epic music, and making money. GREAT!
I absolutely love this song. It’s my favorite, and my favorite band, and I could listen to it everyday and not tire of it. Didn’t even realize how old it is.
Wow... It was like I was entangled by his talent and the song was just there. It was so god dam perfect. It was like for once, if even for 4 minutes, I was somewhere not on this planet. This, ladies and gentlemen, is music; this... is art.
This is the song I choose to listen to everytime I get upset. Now is one of those times, and yet Elbow always pull me through it :') I love you guys!
Why's it a waste? It allows Elbow's brilliance and their beautiful lyrics to shine and come to the foreground rather than taking the attention away from them.
The video compliments the haunting sound of Elbow.. I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!! That young lad must be fit ..throwing that sign about ;-)

This song makes me feel really optimistic.
Like everything can get better :)
One of the best songs written the past two years in my opinion.
I was standing in a moving train, with the working crowd in the morning and the sunshine coming through the window when i first hear this song in my MP3. It just blew mind.....
Soul enlightening music, only searched it on youtube a few days ago and just cant stop watching it!!!!!! B-D B-D B-D

If we were all like that man the world would be a much happier place :) Making the most of our work and having some fun! :D
