2023 and the sheer beauty of this song still brings me to tears ❤

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 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

The little smile on Guy's face at 4:55 says it all... and just look at the faces in the choir, there's not a person in the room that is not caught up completely and lifted to new heights by the gentle, simple beauty of this song... utterly stunning

"We kissed like we invented it"...that's such a good line. Damn.

Recently discovered elbow.....omg what a revelation!!! Have the CD on permanent loop, guy Garvey has such a fantastic voice.

Me and my wife's first dance. Celebrating a year married today :)

Could you imagine what it must have been like to be in that room , or even in the orchestra ? Total bliss . Career defining moment

Guy sings pitch perfect, almost identical to the studio record. Can’t say I know many bands or singers that do that

One of the greatest love songs ever written.

The best thing about this whole performance are all the moments when the choir and orchestra realise what's happening. Love it.

That has to be the best live performance I have ever heard. It is unbelievable how good it is.

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.

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.

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.

"I plant the kind of kiss that wouldn't wake a baby". This is one of my favourite lines of all time!

my first love introduced me to this song… now he’s gone but I will forever associate this with the good times we had :,)

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.

One of the BEST song lyrics ever- We took the town to town last night.....kissed like we invented it.

This song reminds me of when my daughter was born, still brings a tear to my eye

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.

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.

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 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!

I just got a hug I didn't know I needed x

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!

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.

"we kissed like we invented it" geez not many people can write lyrics like that. simple but amazing

My god, those backing vocals add such a dynamite element. Brilliant.

Seriously, I haven't bothered to look up the lyrics to a band's songs in ages. Thanks Elbow for renewing my musical passion.

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 !

this song gives me chills anyway, with the orchestra & choir, it's even more chill worthy.

The way Guy sings “All down to you, dear” makes me go a bit weak at the knees.

Just speaks to the quality of the composition and the beautiful, heartfelt performance. These guys are are musical geniuses!

I love the chord progression and ambiance of this song....perfect

such a great song and message - his voice is truly remarkable

Listening in the middle of October 21 . Worlds still upside down !!!!! This is an escape for me …..

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 🫶❤️✌️

Amazing!!! His voice makes me feel warmth &loneliness at the same time. Great singer & wonderful musicians!

I cry every time I hear this, one of the most beautiful songs ever

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.

I wish I loved someone enough to write a song like this.... hopefully, theres still a chance

We kissed like we invented it ... Brilliant! This perfomance, perfect!

1.57 when the bass comes in....kills me every time. Beautiful

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 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.

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.

Still listening. Pop by now and again to give my ears a treat.

Transcendent, this song and this album is as perfect as ever

I have no words. Well, maybe just one. Beautiful.

Pure poetry. Absolutely love this song.

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

Absolute chills listening to the new music still everything hasn’t changed stunning

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!

Came to this via Peter Gabriel,just shows how much I’ve missed,been busy with “life” now catching up

When the high singer in the choir sings those high string parts from the original record I practically started crying..............so beautiful!

That backing vocal chick's doing an amazing job.

So beautiful this song, and this version is incredible. The lady in the orchestra with the glasses is stunning aswell.

I have come back to this concert over and over during lockdown and it never fails to make me feel better. Thanks fellas !

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!

Such a beautiful composition. Such a beautiful voice. Stunning.

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 ❤️

Since hearing and falling in love with this song, everything has changed. Brings me to tears...

2:11 he elegantly tells the engineer to lower the volume of the mix on his headphones... such class!

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.

Christmas 2021 signing in. This song reminds me of my gentle son.

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!

absolutely stunning & that high pitched backing singer has the voice of an angel

This still breaks my heart, after my man has left this mortal coil. But I remember for our love, evermore.

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.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

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.

I can't tell if the room is growing colder by the second or if it's the music that's giving me chills.

This is one of the most beautiful songs in history. Astounding. Many thanks for posting this.

Wow... as if the album version didn't make me cry enough... this is breathtaking!

September 2021. Listening to a classic.hope everyone is doing well ❤️

When he smiles at 4:53, it's like he just saw the love of his life standing on the side supporting his talents.

The beauty of music is that it can transport us anywhere we want to be.

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..

Elbow are brilliant geniusses. And just look at how many people in the orchestra just brilliant.

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.

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.

2022 Anyone??? Absolute class👏

The girl doing the high note is amazing, 👌

Eventually people will find this. One of the best of all time period. ✨✨✨✨

Okay...this song is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard..must...not...shed a tear!

My late husband and I ...are this.

Beautiful! Well done all. I'm crying too.

I get such powerful chills when I listen to this...

We kissed like we invented it.... che bello (how beautiful) thank you

Oh my god! Beautiful version. 100% pure happiness!

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)

A song, a true expression of pure joy and pure love. i hope i can really feel what this song describes one day.

I can not listen to this song enough! this has become my favorite perhaps of ALL!

I knew them from the Graham Norton show, playing Magnificent (She Says). This band is amazing!

Music never dies. If u loved a song 60 years ago or yesterday - everytime u listen to it it will be a new moment

Amazing. This song is magical. His voice is just as rich and beautiful as in the recording... That is talent!

Utterly........utterly.......beautiful.

This song has something special. It touches my soul. Brilliant.
