Hi Nick and Alexia. I am so pleased you enjoyed Elbow. They are my favourite British band of the 21st. Century, influenced greatly by PG era Genesis in their early days, and have developed into a band that has a unique place in British music, no-one sounds quite like them. They come from Bury, just north of Manchester, and worked long and hard (about ten years) before getting a record deal, releasing their first album in 2001. There is an humility and honesty in their music, at times subtle, sometimes extremely powerful, that has created an almost 'cult' following.
Every album is worth checking out, but their 4th. album 'The Seldom Seen Kid' in 2008 won the Mercury prize for album of the year in the UK, and it generated much greater awareness of their music. This was when I first truly got into them, I bought their back catalogue immediately, and I have been on the ride ever since. They are brilliant live, Guy Garvey (vocals/lyrics) is a superb frontman in a self deprecating English style, and his vocals and the band's musicianship create an atmosphere that works brilliantly, both in an intimate theatre setting where they make you feel like an invited guest and at festivals where Guy conducts the audience during their anthemic songs. They are invited every year to Glastonbury, the UK's biggest festival.
Let me know if you listen to their music privately (I wouldn't blame you if you did) as I think an Elbow marathon would be ideal when you next open requests, and I wouldn't want to choose tracks you've already heard. There are so many wonderful Elbow songs to listen to, I'm glad I chose 'The Birds' to begin with xx
Elbow at last! So many great songs... Loneliness of a tower crane driver is just wonderful. Cheers you two!
Yes, this - bbc orchestra version I really like for this song but the song is great either way.
I first heard "Magnificent, She Says" by Elbow in a compilation of new song I downloaded about 5 years ago. I really liked it so I listened again... and again... and about 7 times more. By then fallen in love the song and hoped the rest of their material was as good. So I went and bought everything they had at Bandcamp. And I was not disappointed. They are unique and smart and beautiful and Guy Garvey's lyrics are pure poetry. Check out 'Magnificent, She Says" when you get a chance. Just a freekin beautiful song.And Lippy Kids... and My Sad Captains... and One Day Like This... and just everything. haha
I have traveled twice just to see them. Their new album drops in late March 2024. New single Balu has a bass line/tone that makes me smile broadly. Complex song, as always, but immediately accessible. The highest compliment saved for last: They are even better live than on their brilliant recordings.
Elbow, are a brilliant, brilliant band. This track kills. Guy Garvey (the singer/main songwriter) is a big Genesis fan (think you can tell the influence), and his voice is very close to Gabriels. They've also recorded a lot at Peters studio (Real World). Check out the tracks... Newborn, One Day Like This, or Empires.
Elbow are amazing, seen them so many times. They’ve been going since 2000, the first album Asleep in the Back has some of their best songs, Newborn is a great song to introduce yourselves to the band. Guy Garvey is the singer, he has an amazing voice, very much in the Peter Gabriel style. Elbow’s style is very laid back and epic sounding, lots of stuff that’ll bring you to tears 😭
Absolutely spot on Andrew. They bring out emotions with their songs and there are few better bands live!
I’ve been following Elbow for years! And, I went to London to see Peter Gabriel, and the entire band were sitting across the aisle from me…Peter did one of their songs - Mirrorball. I’d recommend this song - Elbows version is pretty awesome - live at BBC is spinetingling! 👌🤗
One of the best live bands... Guy Garvey is such a great front man and their songs are captivating, with great lyrics. Just saw them again in Birmingham, UK.
Such an amazing band with a superb back catalogue. Keep searchin and you will have a found a new band that will stay with you a long time.
Thanks for reacting to Elbow. Guy Garvey also presents a great radio show on BBC 6Music. He plays some great music!
So so many good songs from these guys. Keep searching through their whole range and you will been blown away. Check out live songs aswell
Im 'round from where they were formed, Bury, Manchester. Im from the neighbouring town Bolton, we all love Elbow, Garvey's a national treasure and its so nice to see people as far as America giving them a listen, so many good hits. I recommend more such as Station Approach, New York Morning, Ground for Divorce, One Day Like This, honestly the list goes on.
If you want to hear something more punchy from Elbow, try Grounds For Divorce. If you go with One Day Like This, try to find a live version, possibly one of their Glastonbury sets. They played it as the sun was setting in 2011 with the crowd all singing along at the end and the atmosphere was very special, even watching on tv.
Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid 😎
Check out the stripped back beauty of lippy kids, or great expectations, or the grungy Grounds for divorce or Bitten By The Tailfly, or the swells of Lonliness of a Tower crane driver, beer swinging of Sad Captains, love of Mirrorball, menace of McGreggor, or pick me up of Open Arms or Real Life (Angel), or reminiscing's of Scattered Black and Whites.
So many good songs by Elbow.
This appeared in my YT recs today and I'm so thrilled it did! So consider me a new sub! Elbow is my very favorite group. The vocalist is Guy Garvey. Thanks so much to the gentleman who requested this! My personal favorite of theirs is "My Very Best" from their album "Leaders of the Free World." The lyrics are just incredible. Everything they do is pure ear candy. "One Day Like This" is probably their best-known track and was a huge hit at Glastonbury last year. But it would take me all night to list all of their songs that are worthy of a reaction. Great stuff. Thanks so much!
Guys you’ve stumbled upon one of the best and underrated bands. They are in my top 3 and are just fantastic. If you’re curious please take a listen to a track from their brilliant debut album Asleep In The Back called Coming Second. But to be honest there are so many great songs. Dive in and enjoy the brilliance of Elbow.
So glad you found Elbow brilliant band and fantastic song writing, for example mirrorball has to be one of the best modern love songs.
Amazing group! I've heard them referred to as "prog without the solos."
Saw them twice live. And they were great from their first album in 2001 (before which they'd been a band for some time!)
Elbow have had an incredible run as one of Britain's best bands, and they write a catchy tune as well as anyone. But my favorite songs of theirs have slight prog touches. This song is one example. A few others are "The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver," "White Noise White Heat," and "Fly Boy Blue/Lunette."
Love this song to bits
So glad you liked them. I've seen them a couple of times and they overwhelmed me the first time with this song as their opening number. Great band and so nice people.
This whole album is great. Every song sets a different mood and tells a story. My favorite is Open Arms because it brings you warmth and also Lippy Kids because it's painting a picture of ordinary real life.
This is quite new elbow. Consider earlier sings such as “Red” “Fugitive Motel” “station approach”, “Mexican standoff” & “newborn”. They became more mainstream with the award winning album ‘The Seldom Seen Kid” which truly deserves a listen in its own. Worth it.
…and I’m not going to mention….that song! I will let you find it.
Haha! Yes, they will find that song.
'Station Approach' was on my short list, but plumped for this one instead. I was scared Nand L might have heard 'One Day Like This'.
Got to watch live at bbc with Elbow. You will love it!
congratulations on learning about this amazing band
A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
B-b-b-bird, b-birdd's the word
A-well, a bird, bird, bird, bird is the word
A-well, a bird, bird, bird, well-a bird is the word...
No?,,,,, not that bird? 😆
Try, “The Night Will Always Win”, from the same album. It’s guaranteed to bring a tear to the eye.
I'm really excited for you that you have stumbled across one of the best British bands of the last 50 years. Check out My Sad Captains. My favourite song of the band.
This whole album is amazing. It's mellow, anthemic post-britpop; your first association with radiohead is not too far off. It's sometimes like Radiohead with more human warmth and passion. And it oozes with northern English melancholia.
I have to admit, I Love the quieter tracks on this album (not the the up beat ones are bad, i really like Open Arms) but Lippy Kids, The night will always win and Dear Friends are the pick of the bunch for me.
You must listen to The Birds reprise at the end of the album. It will have you in tears, as it does for me.
What a great sound. Definitely more investigation and great harmonies. Touch of Californian spirit from the 70's
Awesome request! I actually have heard a couple of albums from this band! But have not heard this track or album! Definitely right down my alley! I will be checking more of this album out! Nick and Lex thanks for the video!😃
One day like this I am going to dial in to see that you have reacted to Elbow's "One Day Like This". "Throw those curtains wide. One day like this a year would see me right/ Holy cow I love your eyes/and only now I see the light."
Very catchy and popular in the UK. BBC did a famous version featuring stars and celebs, as I recall. A keeper. Play Dead Can Dance!!
Brendan Perry also has a great crooner voice, and Lisa Gerrard is a spiritual force, like Jon. Great share. Peace and Love, db.
this was really good, it makes me get my one and only Elbow album and check it again ... back when I bought it, it didn't convince me ...
This track live is epic
Elbow are brilliant - my favourite is the live album at abbey road ‘where the Beatles recorded’ with BBC Symphony orchestra - ravishingly beautiful. This album is more minimalist of which I’m not so much a fan but they are always brilliant. Guy Garvey writer and singer is also a real authority on rock. The live album will give you the best introduction to the band. I also recommend SELDOM SEEN KID which is an incredible album - Starlings is magnificent. Here is Mirrorball from the live with the BBC - if you have a dry eye at the end of u are no longer alive ! Exquisite czcams.com/video/Sq10PhUG9VQ/video.html and this features the wonderful Richard Hawley who is a wonderful singer songwriter famous for COLES CORNER. I met him in a pub in Sheffield - very down to Earth. He contributes a blistering solo to THE FIX IS IN czcams.com/video/-ITMRHJnaJY/video.html
Love this! This band is new to me. Always nice to discover new music.
Good Shirt choice Nick as the band are lovers of Gabriel era Genesis and are also big fans if and friends with Peter Gabriel. They have recorded in his Real World studios. Gabriel also covered their song 'Mirrorball' on his covers album "Scratch My Back" and Elbow covered his track 'Mercy Street' on the 'response album' "And I'll Scratch Yours". The band is brilliant and are from Manchester, England. Their singer is Guy Garvey. A great band to dive further into!
Hi Guys - new to me too, but I'm loving the vibe, especially the vocal harmonies. Thanks
Elbow is a fantastic band. Try "Fly Boy Blue / Lunette" it is one of Elbow's many great songs.
Hi Guys ! My nephew loves this band, and has for years, but I never really got into them. I have never heard this, but it is really really good !!! The first half reminded me of the group The Pineapple Thief who I love, and then the vocals morph into Peter Gabriel. My nephew loves Genesis and Peter Gabriel and his work with music has got him to meet and work with Peter, so now I'm getting why he loves Elbow. I will have to check them out more. This track has a mesmerizing backing that is brilliant. This track alone is enough to make me want to buy the album. Thankyou ... My nephew will be so chuffed I finally got it why he loves them ! ... Boy would you love The Pineapple Thief ! [ Gavin Harrison joined them and is now on Drums ] Byeee Jim X
Your nephew collaborating with Peter Gabriel was a very impressing fact! And what a fantastic opportunity for him!
@@progperljungman8218 It was Peter who wanted to be involved with my nephew. Lol .... and Robert Plant !!
@@jimled50jl49 Getting more and more curious about who this nephew of yours is.... 🙂
@@progperljungman8218 He is not famous. He started a project years ago bringing musicians of all kinds together regardless of colour, creed, political or background, because of the religious divide that existed in Northern Ireland. He lives in Belfast....I use to live in Belfast. He has dedicated his lifes work against hate.
@@jimled50jl49 How beautiful!
May I still ask for his name?
Elbow is great. Just noticed I've missed a couple of recent releases. The last album I listened to was their 2019 release.
New to me and a nice change of pace. 😎 it is easy to listen to and doesn’t intrude, but still holds your interest. There are certainly times and places for this kind of music. Sounds good to me! 👍👍
I think you should go for it and just dig into something for change, instead of starving yourself musically. It’s a big sacrifice to be a reactor to try to keep and have a clean slate so that you can respond honestly.
Cool shirt, Nick!!!! 👍🏻
You did a reaction to UFO’s Love to Love a year ago and when the keyboards really kick in on this Elbow song at 5:21, it reminded me of that UFO song.
Sorry I’m so late to this reaction, this was my sing in the car song (badly… but I don’t care) just thought I would listen to it again and you popped up
Thanks so much for sharing with us and glad you enjoyed!
please please do one day like this or grounds for Divorce.....those where my access tracks.....
Great catalogue to get in! Guy Garvey (lead singer) often referred to 70's Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Talk Talk and Radiohead as influences.
Elbow like to describe themselves as: 'Prog . . . without the solos.'
Guy Garvie with the silky smooth vocals, and the very unassuming character. Great band from Manchester UK. You probably have heard their biggest hit......song title 'One day like this', check it out, would bet you have heard it, even if you didn't realise
Hi NicknLex, great reaction, you have to react to Scattered Black n Whites off elbows first album. It is quite sublime.
Thank you for the reply, your reactions are truly memorable and always truthful and with great feeling. Keep on doing the great work and many more elbow reactions. Also can’t wait for your In Rainbows reaction.
Ya you could definitely blast this. I can barely hear it. (I used to joke that the guy from Dead Can Dance was actually Jim Morrison......to feed the conspiracy theories! The Song, How Fortunate the Man with None especially!)
Reminds me of Air… Moon Safari ❤
Love Elbow, followed them for years, a band from my hometown ... Guy Garvey is an amazing singer/poet, try "Magnificent (She Says)"
Another similar band from this era that I would recommend would be Doves.
Never heard of these 'recent' folks, but they're quite good!! Interesting semi-trance rhythm. The other near-70's level recent excellence have been Fleet Foxes. Highly recommend them; start with Third of May....
You should also check out Guy Garveys solo album. Such a beautiful voice
Really great! Not sure if I've even come across them before.
(Name seems very familiar though 🤔)
Edit: Had a check on their albums and found that I have really enjoyed them before. So thanks for the reminder Richard!
Pleased you found them again!
Hi there, never really listened Elbow, and now I'm gonna listen more, very interesting and melodic.....really but REALLY, I recommend a band called "Big Big Train" and the song "Brave Captain" to start the journey, to me, it follows the Genesis(70's)-Marillion(80's)-Spock's Beard(90's)-Magenta(2000's, another recommended band)....greetings
Funny you should mention Peter Gabriel as he covered the Elbow track ‘Mirrorball’ on his ‘Scratch My Back’ album. This band are so much more than just easy listening.
Elbow are quite inventive users of arpeggios.
Elbow is a wonderful band. Got all albums. Guy Garvey is an amazing singer/lyricist.
Love the music, one of the most creative actual pop-rock band. Love them :-)
Garvey is a Genesis fan and it's quiet noticable on lots of their catalog and his voice is close to Peter's. Check Asleep in the back (Power blue is fantastic), their first album, a good introduction to their marvelous music.
Try "One day like this" too. One of their best sont ever.
Garvey, not Carvey. ;)
@@claverhouse1 Thanks. Strange that I was convinced from the begining that it was Carvey :-) I wanted him to bee named Carvey.
Guys- look into there album- ,” Seldom Scene Kid” - music and lyrics outstanding as with every Elbow track
Try the track 'It's late' by Queen from the 'News of the World' album.You can thank me later:)
This is 👍
#nicknlexrequest If you really want to go outside your comfort zone, I will say again, try Cardiacs. They have been inaccurately described as prog/punk, which only tells half the story as there are elements of choral, chamber music and even ska in their tunes. Fiery Gun Hand or Dirty Boy would be good options to start with.
I find them very Peter Gabriel. And no it's not brendan Perry from dead can dance
Other FB pages that talk about Prog rock totally miss the point when I say they should be paying attention to Elbow and Radiohead. They talk about new Prog and then when I hear what they are talking about it just sounds like old Prog. Of course there are music genres. Goth, Punk, Emo, ETC. Bands can still make Punk songs and Grunge songs. But for me Prog as a genre is a problem. Prog originally described "progressive" bands. Bands attempting to sound different and pull in different musical influences. There are modern prog bands like Elbow and Radiohead. They wouldn't call themselves Prog but they are much closer to progressive than new bands that just sound like warmed over YES and Crimson ETC.
Too bad , I thought you were going to react to the group The Byrds
This is not rock, blues, jazz...
It may be good, but what is it good for?
Background music for reading/studying?
