"I plant the kind of kiss, that wouldn't wake a baby" I've been doing this to my wife at 5:30 every morning for the last 30 years as i leave for work, it goes by so quickly
Yes when I saw the version where they performed it with the choir and orchestra, I couldn't stop crying, dammit! In fact, thinking about it now is choking me up. Arg.
I remember watching on TV. I went to their gig in Edinburgh, Queens Hall, 2005, 800 or so capacity on the back of LOTFW roughly 1 week before my 19th birthday, I had never before and never will feel anything like that at a gig ever again. The emotion in the music and the feelings they generate especially in live shows is on another level.
He’s an incredible vocalist live, he was on pitch perfectly in 2009 at Bencassim when I saw them play live there years back and he was still pitch perfect last year too 👌
Funny how I remember that as I was the only one that was adamant I wanted to watch them play and all my group of English friends went off to see other bands, but EVERYONE drifted back to me to watch their set it was so good ❤
Incredible I was fortunate to see them live, at House of Blues in Chicago, two tours ago. They played this I cried. So fortunate to have seen them. I went to show alone and pray I get to see them again.
This song takes my breath away each time I hear it. I listened to it the night I went into labor with my first child, and remember thinking "...everything has changed". Thank you Elbow.
It was supposed to be me and my fiancés wedding song. We didn’t make it. This song is so beautiful but this is the first time I’ve been able to listen to it in 4 years since we separated
i tell ya, im a death metal guy and i saw them do this for the first time on tv at the glastonbury coverage. i was thinking the beginning piano was a bit repettitive but by the time the strings came in my eyes were watering. absoloutely beautiful. Not the hardest song to play instrument wise, but you have to be a really special musician to write something like this. Amazing isnt the word, its amazing what a soundscape thy create with all the instruments and vocals. love em!
I totally agree... I first heard it while my wife and kids were out of town. I've always loved my wife--she's the kind of love Guy sings about--but suddenly I felt this overwhelming joy take over, and I couldn't wait for her to get back home! Just to see her face, even... I don't know what it is about this song, but it's by far one of my favorites of all time. Can't wait for Elbow to get to the states so I can see them live!
Lyrics to one of the greatest love songs I plant the kind of kiss that wouldn't wake a baby On the self-same face that wouldn't let me sleep And the street is singing with my feet And dawn gives me a shadow I know to be taller All down to you, dear Everything has changed My sorry name has made it to graffiti I was looking for someone to complete me Not anymore, dear Everything has changed And we made the moon our mirrorball The streets, an empty stage The city sirens violins Everything has changed So lift off love Lift off love We took the town to town last night We kissed like we invented it And now I know what every step is for To lead me to your door Know that while you sleep Everything has changed We made the moon our mirrorball The streets, an empty stage The city sirens violins Everything has changed Everything has changed Everything has changed So lift off love Lift off love (down to you, dear) Lift off love (down to you, dear) Lift off love (down to you, dear) Lift off love (down to you, dear) Lift off love (down to you, dear)
this song has filled me with so much emotion, its made me realise things move on and you gotta let people and the past go, but that doesn't mean they/it should be forgotten, wish them a happy life, even if they don't know you are wishing it for them.
My daughter and her new husband bought me back the Manchester Bee scarf. I'm so happy. I'ma bee gurl and love me Manchester sounds. Bless you Manchester. Love from Australia. xxxxx
Saw them perform this song on Tonight with Jimmy Fallon. I was drawn in and hypnotized by the pure beauty of the song. I purchase every cd there after. This song has so much emotion in it. It's very rare that a band or song can touch your soul and spirit so deeply.
My fiancé introduced me to Elbow's music, and the more I hear this song in particular the more it describes how I feel ever since our first date 14 months ago. I love this!
I love the way it builds and the atmosphere it creates. That little piano riff although very simple is a great little floating sound. Saw them at Sheffield supporting U2 and just loved their slow ballads.
I have just seen your comment Wendy Walsh-Pardey, whilst sat at my desk at work. I've told my work colleagues I have something in my eye! As the months and years pass, it doesn't get any easier, but listening to beautiful songs such as this one, brings you fond happy memories with your husband. Memories never fade when we have wonderful music like this to remind us of those special times with our loved ones no longer with us x
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful how things change good goes bad bad goes good the rebirth of life the soothing warmth of this song makes ya fall again in the mind and then ya remember the end puts ya back to reality 🫶❤️✌️
An epic bad performing in a legendary studio. This is absolutely top class music. The orchestral accompaniment completes the track in a way I hadn't realised until I had heard it. Bloody first class!
Chiedo perdono agli Elbow: Vi ho abbandonato ai tempi di "Cast of thousand", perso dietro chissà quale nuovo amore musicale. Dopo tutti questi anni vi ritrovo, bellissimi. Come riscoprire un vecchio amico di cui si erano perse le tracce. E scoprire che lui era sempre stato li, pronto ad aspettare il vostro ritorno. Siete fantastici.
This is such an amazing song. It speaks volumes, as do all of Elbow's lyrics - some of their songs tickle my chuckle muscles, some tug at the heart strings and some just make me want to hold on tightly to the one I love. I have the album version of Mirrorball on my ipod "YEAH!" playlist but I REALLY like this version.
simply wonderful... !! Imagine standing in THAT studio with THAT orchestra - with all those musical souls that stood there before you.. and nailing it.. like a pro..
If you have ever floated home, feet not touching the ground, after falling in love. That is what this song is for me. Every sound and motion is a new and beautiful thing. Everything has changed.
Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. Off the charts. I love this band so very, very much. Met them before a gig in LA last year; we talked for about 10-15 minutes about the album. Guy remembered me from 2 years earlier, when they toured "Leaders" at the same venue; "We've met before, 'aven't we?" Solid guys, unbelievable writing and performance. The next elbow record can't come soon enough.
Married ten years, and obviously One Day Like This was our first dance, but this was the song playing as we signed the register thing. still gives me goosebumps.
Like some of my friends i was an Elbow fan on some songs and not others but this album but more so the DVD of this concert that came included changed me in many ways and certainly made me devour all the back catalog of Elbow stuff i could. Still after all these years when i listen to this version the girl singing Soprano just melts me... such talent, vocal range and incredible arrangement. Just watch the woman's expression to the left of her to see how great she thinks it is too. Thanks for uploading.
This is just the epitome of how powerful music can be! It touches something inside you and really makes your hair stand on end! Elbow are just an awesome band and Guy Garvey is such an amazing song writer!! Get the DVD/CD Box set now from HMV!! Its the best purchase I have made probably EVER!!! I just cant stop watching it!
This song and performance is perfect! I was introduced to the song just over a week ago and it’s speaking to me on so many emotional levels. Simply beautiful ❤️
I've only just discovered these guys and I'm obsessed! This is a truly amazing concert, so incredibly executed but with a heart of gold. Truly powerful.
i agree with thegame - she's mesmerising! i live in n.z., asked my mate back in blighty what band to look at, so glad he nudged the elbow at me. these guys are talented, and their style is perfect to work with an orchestra & choir section.

"I plant the kind of kiss, that wouldn't wake a baby"
I've been doing this to my wife at 5:30 every morning for the last 30 years as i leave for work, it goes by so quickly
God bless you. You're a good man.
2023 and the sheer beauty of this song still brings me to tears ❤
it's great is'nt it , quality .
Yes when I saw the version where they performed it with the choir and orchestra, I couldn't stop crying, dammit! In fact, thinking about it now is choking me up. Arg.
2024 and it still moves me
Still listening in May 2019. I'm sure that one day people will realise the that this is one of the greatest concerts of all time.
I remember watching it live, sitting forward in my chair, locked to the screen, hardly believing what I was seeing and hearing
Feb.14 ,2020.Happy Valentine's Day everybody.
Every night since it came out june 2020
I remember watching on TV. I went to their gig in Edinburgh, Queens Hall, 2005, 800 or so capacity on the back of LOTFW roughly 1 week before my 19th birthday, I had never before and never will feel anything like that at a gig ever again. The emotion in the music and the feelings they generate especially in live shows is on another level.
Well said
Me and my wife's first dance. Celebrating a year married today :)
Congrats
*my wife and I's
"We kissed like we invented it"...that's such a good line. Damn.
And "we took the town to town last night" that precedes the kissing line. Both sheer poetry.
@@SuperAllanjames the tram. We took the tram.
@@kildogery I think it is Town to Town, - well that’s what lip reading him says to me…
@@ILICCOELIA turns out I've been hearing it wrong. I always imagined them snogging on the tram into Manchester city centre 🤣
I stand corrected.
@@kildogery now you mention it, snogging on a tram in Manchester might be a better lyric. Takes me back to my University days! 😉 keep well sir.
Guy sings pitch perfect, almost identical to the studio record. Can’t say I know many bands or singers that do that
He’s an incredible vocalist live, he was on pitch perfectly in 2009 at Bencassim when I saw them play live there years back and he was still pitch perfect last year too 👌
Funny how I remember that as I was the only one that was adamant I wanted to watch them play and all my group of English friends went off to see other bands, but EVERYONE drifted back to me to watch their set it was so good ❤
Recently discovered elbow.....omg what a revelation!!! Have the CD on permanent loop, guy Garvey has such a fantastic voice.
Can't beat these versions
One of the greatest love songs ever written.
THE greatest. And I'll die on that hill! I've believed for years that it's the most romantic song I've ever heard.
This was the song I kept skipping to get to Grounds for Divorce faster. Facepalm! This song is beyond anything. Definitely in my top 3 Elbow songs.
Incredible I was fortunate to see them live, at House of Blues in Chicago, two tours ago. They played this I cried. So fortunate to have seen them. I went to show alone and pray I get to see them again.
Same! Never listened to it until my daughter shared this version with me!.
“And now I know what every step is for, to lead to me to your door” Beautiful turn of phrase, and a real romantic song.
I can only hope that everyone has a walk like this in their life. Mine, I couldn't feel the ground, I was floating the whole way home. Masterpiece.
Could you imagine what it must have been like to be in that room , or even in the orchestra ?
Total bliss .
Career defining moment
Would have given up a testicle to be in that room
I know right!
That has to be the best live performance I have ever heard. It is unbelievable how good it is.
The lyric: 'Know that while you sleep / Everything has changed'. So unbearably beautiful and unbelievably powerful. 😍
The best thing about this whole performance are all the moments when the choir and orchestra realise what's happening.
Love it.
This song takes my breath away each time I hear it. I listened to it the night I went into labor with my first child, and remember thinking "...everything has changed". Thank you Elbow.
my first love introduced me to this song… now he’s gone but I will forever associate this with the good times we had :,)
It was supposed to be me and my fiancés wedding song. We didn’t make it. This song is so beautiful but this is the first time I’ve been able to listen to it in 4 years since we separated
One of the BEST song lyrics ever-
We took the town to town last night.....kissed like we invented it.
"And the streets, they're singing with my feet"
i tell ya, im a death metal guy and i saw them do this for the first time on tv at the glastonbury coverage. i was thinking the beginning piano was a bit repettitive but by the time the strings came in my eyes were watering. absoloutely beautiful. Not the hardest song to play instrument wise, but you have to be a really special musician to write something like this. Amazing isnt the word, its amazing what a soundscape thy create with all the instruments and vocals. love em!
This song reminds me of when my daughter was born, still brings a tear to my eye
I just got a hug I didn't know I needed x
Why does this song make me cry every time🥹
I totally agree...
I first heard it while my wife and kids were out of town. I've always loved my wife--she's the kind of love Guy sings about--but suddenly I felt this overwhelming joy take over, and I couldn't wait for her to get back home! Just to see her face, even...

Lyrics to one of the greatest love songs
I plant the kind of kiss that wouldn't wake a baby
On the self-same face that wouldn't let me sleep
And the street is singing with my feet
And dawn gives me a shadow I know to be taller
All down to you, dear
Everything has changed
My sorry name has made it to graffiti
I was looking for someone to complete me
Not anymore, dear
Everything has changed
And we made the moon our mirrorball
The streets, an empty stage
The city sirens violins
Everything has changed
So lift off love
Lift off love
We took the town to town last night
We kissed like we invented it
And now I know what every step is for
To lead me to your door
Know that while you sleep
Everything has changed
We made the moon our mirrorball
The streets, an empty stage
The city sirens violins
Everything has changed
Everything has changed
Everything has changed
So lift off love
Lift off love (down to you, dear)
Lift off love (down to you, dear)
Lift off love (down to you, dear)
Lift off love (down to you, dear)
Lift off love (down to you, dear)
is this a goodbye love song? something about things had changed and so he go away and wishes the best for the lady?
Matt Harding b
It's poetry;
pure & ampersand,
simple.
@@saganaki_1 No man, just a love song...his life changed because of her...no goodbyes.
this song has filled me with so much emotion, its made me realise things move on and you gotta let people and the past go, but that doesn't mean they/it should be forgotten, wish them a happy life, even if they don't know you are wishing it for them.
Mate this comment just broke me, pure truth
"I plant the kind of kiss that wouldn't wake a baby". This is one of my favourite lines of all time!
My god, those backing vocals add such a dynamite element. Brilliant.
It is now July 2022 and I have just listened to them play Mirrorball at the LYTHAM Festival. Sounds just as good now. This is great music. 😎👍
I wish I loved someone enough to write a song like this.... hopefully, theres still a chance
It’s so incredibly special when it happens. Hopefully you won’t lose them like I did.
Any luck??
This performance is insanely perfect… the hairs on my arm rise, and the goosebumps follow every time I am lucky enough to hear this song.
My daughter and her new husband bought me back the Manchester Bee scarf. I'm so happy. I'ma bee gurl and love me Manchester sounds. Bless you Manchester. Love from Australia. xxxxx
This reminds me of falling in love with my wife, I played it on repeat in the car dreaming about her…. Absolutely beautiful.
"we kissed like we invented it"
geez not many people can write lyrics like that. simple but amazing
Saw them in Cardiff last year, post pandemic what a brilliant night, some of the greatest songs of all time are sung by this band !
Saw them perform this song on Tonight with Jimmy Fallon. I was drawn in and hypnotized by the pure beauty of the song. I purchase every cd there after. This song has so much emotion in it. It's very rare that a band or song can touch your soul and spirit so deeply.

My late husband and I ...are this.
+Wendy Walsh-Pardey So very sorry for your profound loss. May you gain peace through this sublime song for ever.
id give you more thumbs up if i could x
Wendy Walsh-Pardey Big Huggs 😚👌💚💚
Wendy Walsh-Pardey this reading this made me cry. I am glad your memory has this song for him
I have just seen your comment Wendy Walsh-Pardey, whilst sat at my desk at work. I've told my work colleagues I have something in my eye! As the months and years pass, it doesn't get any easier, but listening to beautiful songs such as this one, brings you fond happy memories with your husband. Memories never fade when we have wonderful music like this to remind us of those special times with our loved ones no longer with us x
this song gives me chills anyway, with the orchestra & choir, it's even more chill worthy.
Seriously, I haven't bothered to look up the lyrics to a band's songs in ages. Thanks Elbow for renewing my musical passion.
We kissed like we invented it ...
Brilliant! This perfomance, perfect!
Still listening. Pop by now and again to give my ears a treat.
Listening in the middle of October 21 . Worlds still upside down !!!!! This is an escape for me …..
Just speaks to the quality of the composition and the beautiful, heartfelt performance. These guys are are musical geniuses!
When the high singer in the choir sings those high string parts from the original record I practically started crying..............so beautiful!
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful how things change good goes bad bad goes good the rebirth of life the soothing warmth of this song makes ya fall again in the mind and then ya remember the end puts ya back to reality 🫶❤️✌️
I can't tell if the room is growing colder by the second or if it's the music that's giving me chills.
such a great song and message - his voice is truly remarkable
An epic bad performing in a legendary studio. This is absolutely top class music. The orchestral accompaniment completes the track in a way I hadn't realised until I had heard it. Bloody first class!

Amazing!!! His voice makes me feel warmth &loneliness at the same time. Great singer & wonderful musicians!
1.57 when the bass comes in....kills me every time. Beautiful
Christmas 2021 signing in. This song reminds me of my gentle son.
September 2021. Listening to a classic.hope everyone is doing well ❤️

Elbow is easily becoming one of my top favorite bands. Love them.

The beauty of music is that it can transport us anywhere we want to be.
Married ten years, and obviously One Day Like This was our first dance, but this was the song playing as we signed the register thing. still gives me goosebumps.
I'm so glad I am not the only one, heard this live by accident many years ago and it struck a chord of which still brings me back to this song ❤️

watch the birds live. best thing you will ever see. but totally get you, hits you behind the heart on the left
I have come back to this concert over and over during lockdown and it never fails to make me feel better. Thanks fellas !
Pure poetry. Absolutely love this song.
Since hearing and falling in love with this song, everything has changed. Brings me to tears...
So beautiful this song, and this version is incredible. The lady in the orchestra with the glasses is stunning aswell.
This still breaks my heart, after my man has left this mortal coil. But I remember for our love, evermore.
This is just the epitome of how powerful music can be! It touches something inside you and really makes your hair stand on end!

Eventually people will find this. One of the best of all time period. ✨✨✨✨
Absolute chills listening to the new music still everything hasn’t changed stunning
Came to this via Peter Gabriel,just shows how much I’ve missed,been busy with “life” now catching up
Such a beautiful composition. Such a beautiful voice. Stunning.
absolutely stunning & that high pitched backing singer has the voice of an angel
There's a whole choir..... Not just a backing singer
A song, a true expression of pure joy and pure love. i hope i can really feel what this song describes one day.
I get such powerful chills when I listen to this...
I second that!
We kissed like we invented it.... che bello (how beautiful)
thank you
Music never dies. If u loved a song 60 years ago or yesterday - everytime u listen to it it will be a new moment
Wow... as if the album version didn't make me cry enough... this is breathtaking!
2:11 he elegantly tells the engineer to lower the volume of the mix on his headphones... such class!
Love that so much. Elegantly is the word
I`m reingervated listing to ELBOW` what a beatifull band !Thanks GUY ..for the music & appearing on Sunday Brunch..
i agree with thegame - she's mesmerising! i live in n.z., asked my mate back in blighty what band to look at, so glad he nudged the elbow at me. these guys are talented, and their style is perfect to work with an orchestra & choir section.
Okay...this song is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard..must...not...shed a tear!
2022 I love listening to this music and song. It puts me in the best mood. I can listen to it forever.
I just heard this for the first time. Still listening. It’s just lovely.
if you dont have a bit of a cry to this , you are dead inside. proper beautiful. id sing it to my son , when he was a tiny little dude.
john darwin I’ve cried several times to this...but did you see the electric guitarist also has a tear that fell.... and Starlings.....
Beautiful! Well done all. I'm crying too.
This is one of the most beautiful songs in history. Astounding. Many thanks for posting this.
Oh my god! Beautiful version. 100% pure happiness!
I love the chorus and the orchestra, they seem so happy
I can not listen to this song enough! this has become my favorite perhaps of ALL!
There are no words... I am speechless. And in tears.
Amazing. This song is magical. His voice is just as rich and beautiful as in the recording... That is talent!
This song reminds me of her. I haven't been able to listen to it in a while. I hope I can get through this...
That backing vocal chick's doing an amazing job.
