This is a Sunday-morning-coffee-in-quaint- kitchen-sunlight-with-the-love-of-your-life song.

Elbow and Wilco, for me are just THE finest songsmiths. Bands that set a mood and tell a story so well.

Elbow - the absolute pinnacle of grown ups music

The roses are heavy With rain and for ages Veil after veil And the pictures are whispering The ones we belong to Caught in forever Startled and proud all laughing together And babe if you'd met him I picture you'd sit Blasting my wisdom With two-barrelled wit Then he'd steal you for dancing And you'd lend him your arms And I'd stooge for your laughing And you'd twirl in the chaos of charm The roses are heavy With rain and for ages Veil after veil And the pictures arе whispering He'd steal you for dancing And you'd lеnd him your arms And I'd stooge for your laughing And you'd twirl in a chaos of charm

I wish so many people who are in my life now - especially my kids - had the chance to meet my grandad, my hero. This encapsulates that beautifully. Not the first time I've shed a tear to an Elbow song. x

As beautiful as Guy’s voice and the lyrics are the combination and melodic synchronisation of the two woodwind instruments through the song is musical genius.

all those hesitant and seemingly random, meandering notes that eventually find their way home......... magic, pure magic

What a great tune, simply sublime. Elbow get better and better, fantastic. Guy's voice is one of those rare voices that could sing you the telephone book and it would still be awesome.

His face at 3.50, says it all ... floors me completely. A song of stunning beauty.

Chills, absolute chills. Those first few piano notes put such a lump in my throat. So bittersweet, so beautiful. Thank you for the wonder you bring to the world, Elbow.

Each time I hear this beautiful creation I cry since losing my father. How you have moved the bleakness of the woodwinds into warmth with the piano and bass. This is such human beauty from all of you. Thank you.

I could just get lost in Guy Garvey’s voice

I'm gonna have a drink to this song, preferably on monday

Fridays is for drinking to the Seldom Seen Kid

This song makes me think of my dad.... he never met my wife, or any of my children, but I know they would have loved him and I know he would have adored them.... and it breaks my heart every time, but I'm glad that it does...

Song of the year for me, hands down. A sublime piece of music. Timeless, sad, beautiful, I could listen to this for days.

Evrytime I listen to this song it brings tears to my eyes. Outstanding peice of art

9 brilliant albums in a row...no other band ever done this

My wife-to-be will be walking down the aisle to this, 2 months today. Can’t wait, it’s going to the best day ever…😍

i'm very happy to find a kind soul at the bottom of a cruel story

And the sublime arrangement of instruments. How the guitar and piano start at the same time. Almost colliding but then merging. And the reed section blowing this veil of sound carrying the song. Beautiful.

So it’s settled, just hand them the Mercury Prize again. This is stunning work. Among your finest ever songs.

Amazing, to all those we wish we could dance with again.

Wow. I can’t get over the warmth that radiates from Elbow’s music. Brilliant track

Listen through headphones to appreciate the true beauty of this song.

At the risk of repeating myself….. beautiful song, wondrous lyrics, a song that will mean so much to so many and with Guy’s voice, it’s all just perfect.

Brilliant Elbow, brilliant and well ... simply breathtaking. If tracks like these didn't exist there'd be nothing to look forward to. Thank you

I'm just blown away by this... The lyrics, his voice, the emotion, oh my word...

Watched them in Manchester on Wednesday night. As ever the band were phenomenal! Cheers Elbow!!! 😊

I love Elbow, there I said it and have since their first album came out. Guy Garvey has the perfect voice and the lyrics they write together just come together so well. Not many bands can reduce me to tears but these guys do.

The warmth of the memories is enhanced by the embers of the woodwinds. And spare, poetic lyrics. Class. 🙏

This is why we love you Elbow, your words back to you from my heart. "What am I without you!"

Ah this is just beautiful and reminds me of last year with the Elbow Rooms where Fridays gained a new meaning and something to look fwd to. Gorgeous track and definitely inspires me to finish several projects to start another novel. Not often music moves one that much so kindest thanks

My God. Shivers. My song of the year. ♥️

There is so much lyrical beauty to what they do.

I am late to the Elbowsphere. A British acquaintance of mine introduced me to their music last year and what a gift it has been. The comfort of their sound bringing light to a dark time of pandemic and isolation. This is another beauty. Thank you.

Beautiful song, I mean this is a real piece of art. And the voice of Guy is amazing too.

I find it incredible that the quality of their music never wains. Album after album are full of divine music. they have set the bar so high than all I can say is in my opinion Elbow are the greatest band on the planet right now

Beautiful- Sir you are a poet who captures the essence of everyone who loves or has been loved heart. Thank you x

I'll field this one, peeps. It's bloody beautiful, isn't it? Enough to break your heart all over again, on every listen. What a very pretty song.

I’m still astounded that they have broken wide open in America. They’re so sublime.

Elbow have the key to my heart. They get me every time, I swear.

Bloody hell listen to this track i am drifting away.

oh my God, this is just a beautiful piece of music and the great voice of Guy.

in these times - this makes me feel that all will be ok ----thanks guys

Absolutely brilliant, elbow have the most pure sound, and they appreciate all musical instruments.....this song is simply majestic.

Their best single in years!!! Welcome back, boys.

The most beautiful homage to an invisible goat ever 🧐

God, that's just beautiful.

This song reminds me my father-in-law so much. RIP. Great stuff.

Elbow just seem to write one amazing song after another...cant stop playing this

I've been lucky enough to see them in concert twice... I too get lost in his beautiful voice, and the lyrics are mesmerising and intelligent.. there just so tight as a band.

This track makes me feel happy ..

Such a beautiful song, they are as special as they ever were, I love Elbow.

In a long list of great Manchester bands, elbow bow to no one.

Wow! Just Wow!! I am new to Elbow and Guy.... beautiful poetry, music and his voice..... Blows me away

You guys have been my favorite band for the better part of a decade and I have never gotten sick of a single one of your songs! I think your incredible and get excited to tell people about you every chance I get!

This is just the most beautiful song. The woodwind harmonies>dissonance>resolution chords are so unusual! Then you add in the words and it is just spine-tingling awesome. Can't wait to hear the whole album!

This made me so happy!! Addicted to Elbow’s beautiful sound and Guy’s voice 🤍🤍🤍

Sun rises. Dark clouds part. and look New Elbow music.

I clicked the like button as soon as the song started. I can ALWAYS trust Elbow to put out "most excellent" tunes. Love, Love, Love!

Time after time elbow release a masterpiece. Just one huge word "AMAZING"

Back to their best, a beautiful song, absolutely stunning. 👏👏

Just lovely really lovely xxx

Fantastic. This is precisely why Elbow is my favorite working band today. Well done everyone, jolly good show. Blessings, peace and love, from your loyal fan, Joe.

What a beauty this one is

Electric picnic in ireland. I went to a pop up gig. Turned out to be elbow playing a small room. I went giddy with my friends. after 15 I was holding back tears/trying to hide them from my friends. His voice just makes bits of me.

And now I feel calm.

I am blown away. Beautiful song, a new all time favorite. Thank you Elbow.

Absolutely beautiful, such talent and lyrics that are sheer poetry! Timeless stuff!

To me, this is their most successful musical achievement to date. It says so much, yet with so few words. I feel emotional every time I hear it. Perhaps this new album, marks a new chapter in Elbows ongoing quest to create music that moves people. I have a suspicion this will last the ages.

Beautiful. If you've never seen Elbow perform live then I can highly recommend that you do. They are always excellent and Guy just has a magic touch with the audience.

Like a fine 🍷 Wine. Elbow just gets Amazingly More Beautiful with Age! Everybody needs Elbow In There Life! Thanks Guy.✌n ❤

Pure Classic , Guy and the band are simply elegant

How is this song not on everyones playlist?

Beauuuuutiful. Cheers everyone.

Never a dull song, never boring, always Elbow

Absolutely stunning. Masterpiece.

It's my birthday today....this has just made it for me.

These lyrics are perfection, I read and sing along and find myself tearing up without ever having even lost a friend like Guy did.

I always recommend your music. When i heared you guys for first time i felt that i was in another world. You make me feel that everything is gonna be ok

Music to soothe your soul.

I got moved while listening to it. So sweet and gentle ❤️

Seldom seen kid !!

I am genuinely weeping. I needed this today. This is a good thing.

A Masterpiece

OMG! That was not what I was expecting to hear!! How utterly, utterly sublime. I think I just died and went to Heaven, strung along on Guy Garvey's voice...Ohhhhhhhh.
