I love Elbow. They’re so good, so creative. Lovely creative lyrics, and they’re not all done-up. They’re just normal people who let the music speak for itself.
Seems to be written for my grand-daughter who lost her mother at age 2 1/2, being raised by my son as a single dad. I know it wasn't, but it strikes me so. To light her mother's cigarette. Her mother smoked, too. A world that doesn't even know how much it needs this little girl... We all need her. And she will make it be Magnificent!
This song helped me through a really dark period of my life. Now, revisiting it a couple years later whilst I am in a much better place, it still hits me really hard. Very thankful to have stumbled across this wonderful band.
Damnation...I can't listen to this song without totally *losing* it. Utterly and completely BRILLIANT...the guitar, the bass line, the drums, strings..and those lyrics...absolute PERFECTION. Why this can't be played on mainstream radio is mystifying. I keep listening to it over and over and all it does is make me want to queue it up again and again. Bravo gentlemen...BRAVO.
Just listen to these words - from the heart! You have to have a daughter and a granddaughter to just know what he means! brings tears to my eyes every time I hear this
First saw Elbow on CBSN...I love Elbow... this man looks so kind and nice. Of course, him and his band are all extremely talented folks who make amazing music.
he opened for coldplay in the south back in 2005. The steward let me record him, he said, he is like Elvis. Nothing better from a white southerm man, he was reached by Guy. I went home singing his songs.
Incroyable, quel talent! Le clip est aussi beau que ce morceau, que ces paroles! Cela devrait être ce qui marche le plus auprès du grand public et pourtant...
I am in your heart Your heart is in my dreams My dreams fly in the wind The wind to make you fly Across the time Across the sky To my heart I close my eyes and cry
@@TreavorUnion yeah, its won awards. I love Tower Crane driver and Some Riot. I have a part of the Stops tattooed on my leg. They're amazing. Definitely watch the Seldom Seen Kids videos with the BBC orchestra.
Why can't this kind of music be on radios rather than this popular shit. This is miles better. Suppose music is judged more about the appearance of the group than their actual music nowadays... And it's sad
I know what you're saying, but I like it this way. They are successful and having a great career. They're not 22 year old model kids. It makes them more authentic and precious. Those bands on the radio are controlled by record labels.
Magnificent Elbow Lyrics This is where This is where the bottle lands Where all the biggest questions meet With little feet stood in the sand And this is where The echoes swell to nothing on the tide And where a tiny pair of hands Finds a sea-worn piece of glass And sets it as a sapphire in her mind And there she stands Throwing both her arms around the world The world that doesn't even know How much it needs this little girl It's all gonna be magnificent, she says It's all gonna be magnificent This is where it all began To light your mother's cigarette And to go to touch her hand And my heart There defrosting in a gaze Wasn't built to be that way Suddenly I understand There on the sand Throwing both her arms around the world The world that doesn't even know How much it needs this little girl It's all gonna be magnificent, she says It's all gonna be magnificent She says It's all gonna be magnificent She says, it's all gonna be magnificent The echoes slow The bottle lands The echoes slow And there she stands
Our lives are controlled by that 40" screen in the corner of our living rooms, everything we do in life is in that box, very powerful, we do not realise how it has influenced our lives
Sigfrido Maina His name is Alex Reeves. He is a session drummer, who has worked with many artists. He also played on Guy Garvey's solo album. Great drummer.

Some Music express feelings that can not be say by words. This is one.
I love Elbow. They’re so good, so creative. Lovely creative lyrics, and they’re not all done-up. They’re just normal people who let the music speak for itself.
Guy Garvey is for me the epitome of talent. This man isn't phoning it in.
Absolutely brilliant
Elbow, you ARE magnificent
What a tune this is, never gets old. Another quality musician from the North.
My husband loved this song. he died a year ago today and it brings back some lovely memories. Thank you Guy and the band ❤

Music helps us through some very dark times indeed.I've listened to some Hatebreed in that moments of my life... but i feel you about this one.

I’m just getting into these guys. Finding out what I’ve been missing
Just listen to these words - from the heart! You have to have a daughter and a granddaughter to just know what he means! brings tears to my eyes every time I hear this
Yeah, me too
Nick and Sue Barron I totally agree
My thoughts exactly 😊
Makes me remember my now teenage daughters as toddlers and makes me quite emotional. Brilliant heart felt song
My daughter’s song, she doesn’t even know, how much I need this little girl 🩵

That was magnificent..Guy is amazing
David Bowie meets Morrisey. So beautiful.
excellent live recording
het liedje gehoord toen ik gisterochtend om 5u17 naar brussel vertrok... deed me dromen :-)
Garvey's live voice is so uncanny... It's like listening to his studio recordings, but it's not! Its actually live and this amazing..
It's perfect. Outstanding. Guy's vocals, the band, strings. This drummer is very good too, please keep it in mind.
Thanks!
His voice is just.. Wow.
the band and guy sound amazing..beautiful song and loving the worker bee
Absolutely beautiful. The singer's voice gave me goosebumps Every. Damn. Chorus.
he opened for coldplay in the south back in 2005. The steward let me record him, he said, he is like Elvis. Nothing better from a white southerm man, he was reached by Guy. I went home singing his songs.
Such an iconic voice and the string section of course is amazing.
Goose bumps all over..
Loved it all especially the violinists
Please come to America. We need your message and your music. Beautiful.
Love this bass rift and drum's timing!
Before we had The National we had Elbow. Such a beautiful and powerful genre these bands hold

@@doobyschoo do you know where this was shot?
gjh No I don’t, it looks like a really small intimate gig. I’d loved to of been there.
@@doobyschoo I mean what country? The venue is awesome. They're not singing along like Americans do. Looks German.
gjh yeah your right, it does look like it may be in Germany. A bit reserved aren’t they!
I just discovered this band. I love this song and this is a really strong performance.
One Day Like This is another great tune

canoemandan i found it in a portuguese radio, antena3.
canoemandan i
canoemandan listen to bbc radio 6 guy garvey (lead singer) has a radio show on sundays. Defo the best station if your into this type of music.
I wish i knew of all the radio stations they play at like this. What do you think of the new driver. Not subtle enough for me. Great guy though

Magnificent
Elbow
Lyrics
This is where
This is where the bottle lands
Where all the biggest questions meet
With little feet stood in the sand
And this is where
The echoes swell to nothing on the tide
And where a tiny pair of hands
Finds a sea-worn piece of glass
And sets it as a sapphire in her mind
And there she stands
Throwing both her arms around the world
The world that doesn't even know
How much it needs this little girl
It's all gonna be magnificent, she says
It's all gonna be magnificent
This is where it all began
To light your mother's cigarette
And to go to touch her hand
And my heart
There defrosting in a gaze
Wasn't built to be that way
Suddenly I understand
There on the sand
Throwing both her arms around the world
The world that doesn't even know
How much it needs this little girl
It's all gonna be magnificent, she says
It's all gonna be magnificent
She says
It's all gonna be magnificent
She says, it's all gonna be magnificent
The echoes slow
The bottle lands
The echoes slow
And there she stands
I was there. Great show from a great band
how thrilling to see them in such a small venue
Magnificent. Can't wait to see them in DC this November.
love the way he sings in his northern accent ..not americanised like so many others
Dead right. I never knew Mancunian could sound so melodic.
Totally agree.
Sounds honest, real and straightforward.
Just heard this on KCRW here in Los Angeles, amazing band and song!
Fantastic !!! Heard this group on a morning news show. I was hooked ! Had to find group on uTube.
Yes, I love to hear it several times a day ♡♡♡♡《
I love this song, like I love Lippy Kids

Brilliant by Guy
Beautiful!
This man ate a CD seriously how is this possible
Love it!
Love to have a pint with this mon , quality

Me gusta mucho, sobre todo el violin
Our lives are controlled by that 40" screen in the corner of our living rooms, everything we do in life is in that box, very powerful, we do not realise how it has influenced our lives
mark evans
I found and watched this on my 40" tv in the corner so its not all that bad
Tnder from Mexico
No no, thank you ☺️
Essa música!!!
great performance! better than the cd version
The two violinists tho…wish they had more screen time
Does anyone know who's on the drum now that Richard is gone?
Sigfrido Maina His name is Alex Reeves. He is a session drummer, who has worked with many artists. He also played on Guy Garvey's solo album. Great drummer.
Thanks Paul ....yes, great drummer! .... i play drums too and i've been tryng to do this piece for a while, it's damn hard :)
Sigfrido Maina Superb! I hope you keep at it and master it soon! Have a good day, my friend!
If i can achieve a reasonable version of the song i will post it :) have a good day too!
Thanks Sigfrido! Took me a while to get the beat too!
No really....please come.
chicks who play violins and cellos are always smokin hot
dudes who can sing are always smokin' hot. That is absurd. Watch the BBC orchestra, there are women your nana's age
Dead crowd..sorry.
Love it!
Love it!
