This song just feels incredibly relevant right now...
💯!!!
and still
Unfortunately I think it always will be relevant... but a phenomenal song to say the least! Saw Elbow twice at 9:30 in Washington DC... really want to see them again
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
Spotify told me i would like this band...AND IT WAS RIGHT...DAMN..i love it.
Elbow are just proof that when it come to great music, Britain's still got it
Yep. Guy's proved that with his capitulation to South London. Money, eh?
Totally agree 🎸
@@vebesese5632 What are you talking about?
The American stuff doesn’t come close
Elbow are approaching Legendary Status... Incredible band. Everything about them is genius.
yeah ive been thinking about this song a lot with recent events
Same
same
Can't believe they're not playing this track at festivals this year. My favourite Elbow track.
Dont know what i like more, the song or the fact that Guy looks like General Melchett from Blackadder Goes Forth.
Just Stephen Fry in general
Baaah!
Stumbled across this whilst on holiday.. can't believe how good it is and what I've been missing all this time!!. Brilliant!
I don’t even know how I came across this band but I’m so glad I did.
this song got me interested in them
James mcculloch same here. But I heard them just yesterday. Better late than never 😁
@@nowayrocks bahahahah same but I listened to them yesterdays better late than never
@@evanthiakrassa9197 this song still gives me the same good things as it did 3 years ago when I first heard it.
Sometimes a song comes along and just tick off all the check boxes in the 'good vibe-' and 'epic song-department'.
I still like the album version best since that version is longer.....Longer time to enjoy the song 🤩
This song has really enriched my life. Thanks Elbow!
I had no idea Stephen Fry and Umberto Smaila were in Elbow.
Them and Kings of Leon at Slane this May was an excellent double headliner.
First time I've heard this band, courtesy of a mention by Ian Rankin in his book ' The Naming of the Dead ' - love their sound.
Love this band💥❤ ? Leaders of a free world? Hhhhhmmmmmm sounds verry actualy .
I love these jolly ol' chaps! Super under rated and incredibly talented.
The song that got me REALLY into Elbow - back in 06, which wasnt a bad year for music to be fair. The World cup and the hot summer... Gorillaz, Kasabian, Primal Scream, even the Kooks were somewhat bearable when the sun was out! There was even some good dance music knocking about! lol.
Glad Elbow won the mecury and mainstream success with seldom seen kid. They deserve it, Guy Garvey is an amazing writer.
I find myself stuck in the 2000s musically as well. Just such good music!
this song sticks in the head in a very awesome way. this should have been mainstream
This should have 10 million views
awesome... omg how do these bands not get the fame they deserve?
Now I need to see the commander in chief as well too.
Proof that UK music is the best in the world.
lol
Yep
This song is proof that Elbow are able and can make excellent music, but I believe this one song doesn't prove that an entire nation is the best world :D
We also have som excellent musicians and song writers in my country (Norway), but I bet most of the other nations in the world only know about the band "a-ha" (they had a world wide hit with the song 'Take on me' in case you needed some extra info ;-) )
'Leaders of the free world' was the song that got me into Elbow, and is one of the songs that I don't think I am able to get tired of!!
true!!
Lyrics:
I’m sick of working for a living
I’m just ticking off the days ‘til I die
I miss you Louise
And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth
Periscope up
I’ve been looking for a ladder
I need to see the Commander in Chief
And remind him what was passed onto me
Your mum don’t sleep
The friends you keep
I didn’t raise a thief
But the leaders of the free world
Are just little boys throwing stones
And it’s easy to ignore ‘til they’re knocking on the door of your homes
My thinking isn’t driven
But the music always gives me a lift
I’m so easy to please
But I think we dropped the baton like the 60’s didn’t happen. Oh no.
Periscope up
Should be looking for a ladder
I need to see the Commander in Chief
And remind him what was passed onto me
Your mum don’t sleep
The friends you keep
I didn’t raise a thief
Passing the gun from father to feckless son
We’re climbing a landslide where only the good die young

We only have one shot. It is just improbable, not impossible. If you asked why humans were fighting one another then you also get it, even now. We are past eras where it was needed. They all died for us to be here, and I doubt it was to continue those wars. Humans, no matter where you are in this world, use your strength to accept one anothers differences and help one another for the betterment of humanity, so that you too can become better as well, from it. Do not change your individuality, but do not hate others. Facts cannot be desputed, and the only one we need, is that we can overcome anything if we put our minds to it. So let's start. They've been begging for years before us, so lets begin. Humanity for all.
This video is just stupidly brilliant!!
Dang! Guy Garvey looks good in a mustache.
It took me way too long to realise that the 'controls' of the Elbow spaceship correspond to the instruments the band are playing.
For me , this song was the start of the good times rolling at The Summer Sundae festival in 2006.
i listen to this song every day i eather go to work or college the first bit where he says, im sick of working for a living is usualy just about when i get bored sitting on the buss :)
best song by elbow, class.
Is it me or Guy Garvey has a mix of Stephen Fry with Ricky Gervais in him??
I was thinking exactly that
Def Ricky Gervais
I'm 80% sure Stephen Fry has never had Ricky Gervais in him.
I can see Stephen Fry, not so much Gervais though haha
You. Next.
Masterpiece ❤
This deseves at least 10,000x the viewership
