    @bigbawsyabass keeping up the tradition of bein g a youtube keyboard warrior, eh? Just because you have no ear for great music. Probably a Cliff Richard fan in secret.

    This song’s about painful nostalgia. It’s ‘May’ for sure.

    @spreethang Whilst I don’t remember ever questioning your lyric listening ability, I seem to have to keep pointing out what this particular word is.I think some of the people from around the world may have trouble with his accent and have failed to notice, as you rightly say, that lyrics mainly rhyme.

    @bytesback I didn’t need to look up lyrics, or consult the CD booklet. Just by listening to any Elbow song, one can reference Guy’s uncanny yet simple ability to rhyme words. he does it consistently. So if you look at the line “And its You, and Its May” it makes sense because its followed by the line “And We’re sleeping through the day” “and 3,000 miles away.” I am american, so even i admit sometimes Guy confuses me. but i will agree with “MAY” instead of “Me”

    Why’s the bloke with the rotten diction keep his Stratocaster slung on such a long strap? My guess it’s for posing. You can’t play a guitar properly slung that low. It seriously restricts how you can move your hands on the fingerboard. The chap sitting down and battering mince out of the Godin has a better grasp of things.

    @TheRomperCopter Well, Obvioulsy lyrics are a very subjective thing, They all mean different things to different people. However, Unless the CD manufacturers made one enormous cock up then it is Without a shadow of a doubt “May” as that is exactly what is printed in the insert.of the cd.

    @bytesback Its definitely me. I took the liberty of looking it up.

    think about it, in the line after, he says WE’RE sleeping through the day. but then he goes to say that he IS mentally five years ago and three thousand miles away. therefore hes talking about the present

    I saw them in Belfast a couple of years ago. They are spellbinding live!! This is great but it does them no justice. Any fans that haven’t seen them. Do soon. You’re in for a treat!! :D

    @keewa It’s definitely ‘may’ – Guy says in the DVD commentary ‘It isn’t the Bon Jovi pronunciation of ‘me’, it’s the month of may.’

    the gershwin piece just adds to the melancholy of the song. i wish elbow would do another concert like this featuring their other stuff. especially “forget myself”

    @OperaNotes That may well be the best thing I’ve ever read on YouTube. Well done.

    @OperaNotes I see this as a love that will never die, but a love that is lost. We have all lost a great love through many different means. I love the bones of you that I will never escape. There are songs that yank me back in time to a moment in her arms, that is what I feel when I hear this song. I may never escape that one love, but I am comforted by that same thought.
