This song is truly a masterpiece. Songwriting perfection, music doesn't get better than this.

Never heard the song before, but on the day of my mother in laws funeral, random play kicked it out. Didn't seem random at all. perfect song

I'm having this at MY funeral...just for the chorus and the fact that it sums up an awful lot about my life and that of so many other people. Well done Elbow!

I'm a black music fan. I won't lie to ya..... but on the way home from work heard this on Radio 2..... Steve Wrights programme and was awe struck! I knew of Elbow because at my sons wedding a month ago they chose 'One Day Like This' to be played whilst they were signing the register, but on hearing this I can't tell you. It just struck a chord and melted my heart. I'm up for hearing more.

Their album "The Seldom Seen Kid" seriously one of the best albums on the planet ever known to man. So much in fact that I've got the album name tattooed on my arm!

What a voice

@pehrlindstrom6054 3 жыл бұрын

One of the best songs ever written, if you ask me. Arr is super. During a long life I have concluded a list of less than 10 musical jewels from the classical world that contains music harmonies most beautiful. Often short parts in a symphony or opera. Among these Tchaikovsky, Mascagni, Albinoni, Sibelius and a few others. This song with the beautiful brass section is extraordinary. The 26 seconds of brass solo 4:10 into the 6 minutes versions now joins the above mentioned classical jewels. Gets a tear or two in my eyes every time I listen.

@@robinstahlwarelius1845 well, the list is in my head and the music on CD´s. I can prepare one for you, are you using Spotify?

@pehrlindstrom6054 Жыл бұрын

@@robinstahlwarelius1845 Ok, here are some of my jewels. Taste should never be discussed, it is all about your own soul. Mascagni: Cavalleria Rusticana, Intermezzo. Can be heard at the end of Goodfather III (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pr-mgcZ209WlpJc.html). I specifically like the tunes from 1:18 to the end. Tchaikovsky: Serenade in C major for Strings, Op. 48: Pezzo in forma die Sonatina Sibelius: Finlandia, Op. 36 Depends on recording, mine is from a Naxos CD, the whole opus is enjoyable but I specifically enjoy from 5:22 to 7:00 Dvorak: New World Symphony, 2nd Movement: Largo (London Philharmonic Orchestra 2018, on Spotify) Ok, take it or leave it, I wish you a Happy New Year!

I'm out oh Philadelphia and have tried endlessly to get people into this band. Elbow just played in Philly and the venue might have been 2/3's filled. Shocked and disappointed to say the least. I honestly have no idea why they're not more popular in the states. As I tell people when I describe Elbow's music to them, it's simply beautifully brilliant.

Lovely, wonderful song. I first heard this from watching the BBC drama 'Life' (2020) - a 'Doctor Foster' spin-off series. I guessed it was Elbow. "And if it's so, we only pass this way but once. What a perfect waste of time." Really touches a cord. Thank you.

Wish the studio version was different, the horns combined with the "oh my soul"...don't know if it's just the recording but it is piercing, not in a good way...but ultimately the song is a success because it's just so good.

I'm totally with you Timothy. Their live version of "My Sad Captain" is absolutely beautiful, while the album version I can't, and won't, even listen to. They are so much better live than in the studio, I feel. The raw emotions come out in their songs while played lived, without the grating effects they seem to pile on in the studio.
