It is almost unfair, to take this already gorgeous Elbow song, and then adding John _ "Effin" - Grant to make it even more sublime. No words can express how great this is.
I am just discovering all of Elbows music and I am beside myself with the emotions the music evokes...I love this song, and the duet for me is perfect.
THE best lyric of all time..... Tells you everything about how love is. "and my telephone shakes into life and I see your name, and the wheat fields explode into gold either side of the train...." utter perfection.
This is my favorite song ever. Always listed as my number one song each year on Spotify (don't worry, I also always buy a copy of their albums). Then my telephone shakes into life and I see your name... those vocals.... give me chills....every....single....time.
@@blackesteyes1133 I live in the US. Had tickets to see them in Bournemouth in 2020. Then they announced a North American tour so went to see them in Oakland CA. My first time!!! That was in Jan right before the shutdown. I was over the moon. But seeing them in Manchester would be the best. They sang Kindling (without John Grant) but it still gave me shivers.
Guy Garvey and John Grant......what's not to like. In my top 10 favourite tracks of all time, and thats saying something coming from a man with VERY eclectic taste in music, singer, ex-DJ and guitar player.
This is the most beautiful song sung so well. I keep playing over and over again, the harmony is sublime, this should be released as a single, never hear it on the radio why?
Press the play button and wait for the shivers at the back of your neck. Once again Garvey pulls out another fantastic composition made sublime by two complimentary tenors. Elbow are streets ahead of other english acts and that is a very high bar.
First heard an Elbow track at a recent funeral and it was so beautiful, now listing to many other songs and came across this, two of the most fantastic voices ever. The words are just so wonderful .
This is hypnotic, heart-cracking magic. Listening to two men’s voices resonate and dance together is such joy and bliss to my ears. After ten plays (and counting) my heart keeps opening wider…
How that man can calmly take a slug of tea after doing that is beyond me...with no exaggeration whatsoever my entire body shakes...tears fill my eyes and I swoon in an other worldly ecstacy....my eternal gratitude to all and everyone who had anything to do with this......and to everyone who has ever listened....for this moment at least..it is my very favourite sound....
Incredible song, incredible voices, wonderful harmonies!! Restores my faith in the ability of musicians of the now period to write classic brilliant songs....it's a rare thing! These aren't young men by charts standards but it is current and that will do!
funny, you are right. This song has a great VU influence, specially the guitars. When you listen to it several times you hear it more and more. No surprise when I tell you I am a great fan of VU. About Simon and Garfunkel I am not so sure.
This is one of my songs of the last few years, at the very least. So beautiful! I love the underlying guitar rhythm that underpins the song, and these two wonderful voices combined so beautifully! The imagery in the lyrics too is wonderful.
Saw John Grant and Elbow at Genting Arena last night. Not heard this before and when they sung it at the end of the concert. The audience was mesmorised. I got goose bumps listening to them sing it. By the way it was the best gig I have been to, where both act were brilliant.
Had a circular saw blade Where I should have had a heart You kept your boat afloat for so long I was trusted, I adored her And I tore it all apart I saw you try and stop the sunset on your own Twin moons on a millpond From a tumbledown barn I'll forever want your ancient silver gravity I can still taste the heat of the sun on her skin in my arms I could fold to the cold of these January streets Keep your hand around the fickle flame of morning after But your smile in the half-light is Pure pillow print cheek An angel tangled in the very cloths of heaven I will be far away for a while But my heart's staying put Warming and guarding and guiding The one that I love Warming and guarding and guiding The one that I love The silence and the waiting and the rush of all aboard Fifty souls to a carriage I'm trying hard to be ignored Then my telephone shakes into life and I see your name And the wheat fields explode into gold either side of the train And the wheat fields explode into gold either side of the train And the wheat fields explode into gold
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you this helped me during one of the most difficult times of my life. Songs like this are such a beautiful gift to a weary soul. X
This is one of the most moving songs I have ever heard … and it hits me each time afresh …makes my own heart explode into gold like the wheat fields … what song writing genius!
This was shared with me by a person I’m close to during lockdown and I listen to it everyday. Gives me goose bumps. Fits when we can’t be together.. “we will be far away for a while but my hearts staying put warming and guarding and guiding the one that I love” ❤️
Perfect song for a lockdown situation, I listened to it lots when I was pregnant, counting down the days til I had my baby and those lyrics made me well up ❤️
I've always been a John Grant fan. But hearing this has elevated his baritone notes by being also accompanied by another beautiful baritone, sing baby sing. It's lovely.
Omg. "Amazing" is such a worn-out yet fitting word, here. I am so happy for John Grant that he gets more recognition, in recent years. What a great artist. My favorite song of his: Queen of Denmark. Saw him a couple of years ago at the Icleand Airwaves. If you ever get a chance to see him perform live, go for it - marvelous.
I bought the S9 and got free tickets, went to see my favourite band of all time. With John Grant. Best freebie ever. Can honestly say i'll probably never forget it. Awesome together, really are!!
Thank you, so deeply. This brought me many tears... from it's pure, unadulterated beauty...and the love and longing that burst within my heart. Hauntingly poetic ...and so sincerely and perfectly sung... thank you, again for your all of your wonderful music. X
@@mwng5186 Thank *you* for those lovely words... I'm very touched that you wrote such a kind reply. May you have uncountable beautiful days, strong health and peace in your heart my friend. ~
@@keysersoze4322 Indeed, between his work in The Czars and his solo stuff, he's probably my favorite male singer of all time. Such incredible beautify in his voice.

Only just discovered this... how absolutely superb!!! Just gorgeous
Guy Garvey is so underrated as a lyricist. He managed to find romance in his mobile phone going off!
Yes! To quote John Updike, "giving the mundane its beautiful due."
’And my telephone shakes into life, and I see your name, and the wheatfields explode into gold eather side of the train’
Lyric heaven.
I mean yeah, how frickin' poetic is that!!! Love love love this song!
One of the best lyrics written of all time, in my opinion
Totally agree. Fantastic lyrics.
Perfection, gets me every time!
That lyric is just bliss.
This is exactly what I love about RUclips. You search for nothing and you're finding pure gold. What a song!!!
Indeed my friend, indeed.💗
First time I have heard this song.....pure goosebumps!!!!
John Grant has one of the most beautiful male voices I‘ve ever heard...
For sure.
I can't even explain why.
Reminds me a bit of Ron Sexsmith's sound.
My son (13) and I sing this in the car. He’s John and I’m Guy. It’s beautiful everytime he starts.
I miss your stupid face... We'll make the moon our mirror ball, the streets an empty stage
🥰
❤
I saw you try and stop the sunset on your own......I can still taste the heat of the sun on her skin in my arms.....wow.
Beautiful. Whoever had the idea to bring John Grant in to do a duet? Hats off.
I saw them sing it live in Dublin a few years ago. Amazing!
They could make a whole movie out of this song.
Wow two masculine voices in total harmony so beautiful..
Sublime. “And the wheat fields explode into gold either side of the train.”
That line will never fail to bring tears to my eyes..❤️
"...and the wheat fields explode into gold either side of the train." Pure poetry. Love that line.
I must listen to this song every day. Absolute fucking perfection
It is almost unfair, to take this already gorgeous Elbow song, and then adding John _ "Effin" - Grant to make it even more sublime. No words can express how great this is.
You know that, The Pale Green Ghost and Guy Garvey....superb!!
Who also found this fabulous song on the BBC drama Life?
Love the shot of the band on the sofa just taking it all in.
@@petemorse6663 Over here! This song will remain by me for the rest of my Life!
Exactly
This song brings me to tears, it's beautiful
there are few songs i have discovered that made an impact like this.
I was lucky enough to see elbow last night do a warm up in Hull! This was in the set and was immense 😊
Two of the most beautiful voices together. What a gift to us.
How everyone in the world does not know of this song, or these two fantastic artists, is a mystery to me.
The only thing I think that might come close is a duet with Guy and Justin Hayward from the Moody Blues
Fantastic. So true that I spontaneously start to cry.
Mary Yersak Mary: funny, I just made the same point to my wife. We both like Moody Blues & Blue Jays.
I am kind of obsessed with this song.
Me too, it's wonderful
Me too.
Their voices compliment each other so beautifully!
There are not enough words to describe how beautiful this is.
So heaven does exist. Who'd have thought that angels looked like this pair though?
Colin Carr I know. Crazy eh?
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares
Rosemary Chesters beautiful quote
Oh I’d so watch that film
If angels looked and sounded like this I'd be religious af😅
christ, just found this -- GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS. Cheers
The best band of the last 20 years.
I am just discovering all of Elbows music and I am beside myself with the emotions the music evokes...I love this song, and the duet for me is perfect.
Yeah, me too, around November 2022, and I'm 54 now. I have NO idea how this band got past me.
THE best lyric of all time..... Tells you everything about how love is. "and my telephone shakes into life and I see your name, and the wheat fields explode into gold either side of the train...." utter perfection.
I feel sorry for all the people on this planet, who have never heard this
That was me until 3 minutes ago! Stunning ❤
Makes me want to cry, scream with joy and despair, shout in pain and delight. Die immediately and live forever. Fucking amazing.
Yep, still has the same effect.
best reply even dude - frikin poet you are
One of the greatest love songs I have ever heard. ❤
Two of my favourite singers and lyricists together 😍😍😍
This is my favorite song ever. Always listed as my number one song each year on Spotify (don't worry, I also always buy a copy of their albums). Then my telephone shakes into life and I see your name... those vocals.... give me chills....every....single....time.
Its an absolute belter, no doubt about it. Got to see them perform it live in Manchester a couple of years ago. Talk about goosebumps.

Guy Garvey and John Grant......what's not to like. In my top 10 favourite tracks of all time, and thats saying something coming from a man with VERY eclectic taste in music, singer, ex-DJ and guitar player.
3 minutes 44 seconds of sheer bloody loveliness.
This is the most beautiful song sung so well. I keep playing over and over again, the harmony is sublime, this should be released as a single, never hear it on the radio why?
The best songs never make it big. Keep your hand around the fickle flame.
This is a piece of video to be treasured as one of the great performances. It’s perfect.
Press the play button and wait for the shivers at the back of your neck. Once again Garvey pulls out another fantastic composition made sublime by two complimentary tenors. Elbow are streets ahead of other english acts and that is a very high bar.
'And the wheatfields explode into gold either side of the train'... has to be one of my favourite lyrics!
Possibly the best of songs I've heard in a very long time. Beautiful harmonies.
Got to see John supporting Elbow a couple of years ago in Dublin.
It was one of the most magical night's of music I ever witnessed.
First heard an Elbow track at a recent funeral and it was so beautiful, now listing to many other songs and came across this, two of the most fantastic voices ever. The words are just so wonderful .
Play this at my funeral so I will know I've gone to heaven
4 years on and this is still phenomenal
Was lucky enough to see this live in Dublin when John supported Elbow on a few legs of their tour...amazing
The wheat fields explode in to gold either side of the train.......Stunning lyrics
This is hypnotic, heart-cracking magic. Listening to two men’s voices resonate and dance together is such joy and bliss to my ears. After ten plays (and counting) my heart keeps opening wider…
Truly one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
Absolutely love this guy is a Modern Day poet laureate ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤saw elbow this year at the CO-OP 😍😍😍🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Played this in Brussels last night......just blows me away! Sooooo good and with John Grant, the two best voices I've heard in many years.
How that man can calmly take a slug of tea after doing that is beyond me...with no exaggeration whatsoever my entire body shakes...tears fill my eyes and I swoon in an other worldly ecstacy....my eternal gratitude to all and everyone who had anything to do with this......and to everyone who has ever listened....for this moment at least..it is my very favourite sound....
Its because he is the master of his craft. and us Brits love our tea! 🙂
Incredible song, incredible voices, wonderful harmonies!! Restores my faith in the ability of musicians of the now period to write classic brilliant songs....it's a rare thing! These aren't young men by charts standards but it is current and that will do!
Stunning.
Absolutely stunning. Those harmonies. It's like The Velvet Underground with Simon & Garfunkel on lead vocals.
What's not to like ?
Perfect.
funny, you are right. This song has a great VU influence, specially the guitars. When you listen to it several times you hear it more and more. No surprise when I tell you I am a great fan of VU. About Simon and Garfunkel I am not so sure.
Thankyou, I've been thinking the exact same thing for months but only read the comments today. Great minds and all that!
Such a rare thing. A male duet. Beautiful.
Elbow plus john grant equals me being in heaven. This is so beautiful it melts me ❤
This is one of my songs of the last few years, at the very least. So beautiful! I love the underlying guitar rhythm that underpins the song, and these two wonderful voices combined so beautifully! The imagery in the lyrics too is wonderful.
This recording makes me swell with happiness. Tearing up.
I echo every other comment on here regarding the harmony singing but for me it the lyrics ,Guy Garvey is a sublime lyricist
Sublime..❤
yes, sublime

Wow this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard so together in voices.
The pair of them are Geniuses !
Had a circular saw blade
Where I should have had a heart
You kept your boat afloat for so long
I was trusted, I adored her And I tore it all apart
I saw you try and stop the sunset on your own
Twin moons on a millpond
From a tumbledown barn
I'll forever want your ancient silver gravity
I can still taste the heat of the sun on her skin in my arms
I could fold to the cold of these January streets
Keep your hand around the fickle flame of morning after
But your smile in the half-light is Pure pillow print cheek
An angel tangled in the very cloths of heaven
I will be far away for a while
But my heart's staying put
Warming and guarding and guiding
The one that I love
Warming and guarding and guiding
The one that I love
The silence and the waiting and the rush of all aboard
Fifty souls to a carriage I'm trying hard to be ignored
Then my telephone shakes into life and I see your name
And the wheat fields explode into gold either side of the train
And the wheat fields explode into gold either side of the train
And the wheat fields explode into gold
MrBada55B c
Thank you for this
MrBada55B A
Yeah thanks mate
Thanks mate
The most beautiful song, sung superbly, makes me feel emotional every time I hear it ❤❤❤
The more I listen to this song the more I love it. Pure poetry and two wonderful voices full of feelings.
I never tire of listening to this, two incredibly beautiful voices and a beautiful song...just love it!
What a fantastic pairing, such gorgeous voices. Friggin brilliant.
Two unique voices! Doesn't get any better xx
Imagine Peter Gabriel adding harmonies.
That would make it better 😜
Just beautiful ❤. Hadn't heard of John Grant, I'm off to search his work
Two brilliant voices for the price of one. Result.
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you this helped me during one of the most difficult times of my life. Songs like this are such a beautiful gift to a weary soul. X
This is one of the most moving songs I have ever heard … and it hits me each time afresh …makes my own heart explode into gold like the wheat fields … what song writing genius!
Must have played this 20 times over. Just breathtaking.

Still one of my fav songs, two beautiful voices.
3 chords and a simple melody is all it takes if you have two voices like these. Brilliant!
The harmonies are just brilliant from these two guys what a great song elbow so underrated
Have no words to describe how I feel when listening to this- incredible!!
I'm sorry, but I've no idea who John Grant is, and I've not heard this song, but oh how my heart sings at this combo
I stumbled across John Grant a couple of years ago. A fantastic artist.
Feb 2019 and this has 350k views .
The sweetest best kept secret ever to be created
Guy Garvey, the best live voice ❤❤❤
I've always been a John Grant fan. But hearing this has elevated his baritone notes by being also accompanied by another beautiful baritone, sing baby sing. It's lovely.
Two of da greatest singers today
Utterly beautiful.
Saw them do this live. Amazing. Never seen an audience listen so silently
How I love this amazing song..........
"I can still taste the heat of the sun on her skin in my arms": what a line!
My sister, Kath recommended that I listen to this. I can see why, really lovely song and performed so well. Its gonna end up one of my favourites.
I am in love with this wonderful track. I am smitten.
Incredible combo of 2 great vocalists. Gives me tingles up the back of my head.
Played this over and over just wonderful
What a fantastic last line. The wheat fields explode into glory at the the side of the train!

Will walk to the alter with my beautifull daughter to this stunning song!!
I hope it was/will be a beautiful day.
Amazing duet and beautiful song
Great song and great voices, thanks from Germany 🇩🇪
Absolutely beautiful. Bonus, introduction to John Grant for me.
