Guy Garvey - Courting The Squall (Official Video) 

happy birthday, Garv!

always and forever, I'll love this...

Ooh, that was powerful. And soulful. Many thanks Guy, and the band all! Cheers.

The best of the solo material I have heard so far from Guy. Anyone know if there is any significance to his tour dates is Europe being most often a month apart and on the 12 of each month?

Absolutely stunning. Such beautiful lyrics. Really don't think Guy gets enough credit for what a stellar lyricist he is. Some of his lines are up there with Leonard Cohen and Dylan. The first line of this song alone just sends shivers down my spine: "In the hills it's an overcoat colder ... "

He's full of old manc tales - all fibs

tom hardy is so cool

recommend it to insomniacs.

a bit boring. good lyrics

In the hills it's an overcoat colder Come by, see me If big things, life things, are waves at your door Come by, see me Come grab a sleep on my floor No more courting the squall You're out with a friend in the capital I'm a thousand leagues under the sea You're hovering worriedly over your eggs And I'm pondering trees I'm wandering long, and I'm pondering trees For you and me In the hills it's an overcoat colder Come by, see me If big things, life things, are waves at your door Come by, see me Come grab a sleep on my floor No more courting the squall Oh, you're out with a friend in the capital I'm a thousand leagues under the sea You're hovering worriedly over your eggs And I'm pondering trees I'm wandering long, and I'm pondering trees For you and me I'm the son of a saint and a leader of men And I'm neither of them, but I'm yours I'll build us a house out of wrestlerock shale With some everyday windows An anytime roof And I'll open the doors To you and yours Just pondering trees For you and me

I love this bloke, Both Elbow and solo, lovely lyrics and help keep a bloke sane. x

Guy and his own music and the Band Elbow are one of my favourites!

I think this is one of the best love songs ever written. just stunning....

such a wonderful songwriter. Love this song.

This is so lovely :) :) :) :) :) :)

Wow. I just stumbled upon you accidentally (i.e. VEVO) but, holy crap, I am so glad I did. Thank you, sir.

Tout simplement une pure merveille. Quelle voix, je l'adore. MAGNIFIQUE!

He's got a big heart.

Simply a visionary.

Linda música... aki no sofá relaxando com um som desses... ahhhhhhh

What an absolute tune. Can't wait to hear the whole thing!

Really nice slow song; helps me relax. Thanks so much Guy!!!!

brilliant lyricist,brilliant voice and beautiful song cant wait to see Elbow back in NEW ZEALAND

Come grab sleep on my floor is just a beautiful lyric by a man who would put you up if you ever needed help.

Yet another corker from Mr. Garvey. Looking forward to the album! Not long now!

Amazing. My Favorite Track from the Album

I've just listened to the whole album. Superb!

good song

Can't believe I've discovered this so late...shiver-inducing. So gorgeous xx

He's got that knack of writing songs that go for the emotional juggler. This is up there with Scattered Black and Whites for me. I prefer his heavy and upbeat stuff but can't deny this is a sweet sweet song.

🌝 beautiful 😍🙈🙈

Beautiful song.

brilliant

Such a wonderful man.

Really lovely

Love it.

Will go down as one of the eras best lyricists. Equally talented bandmates.

What song is the chorus melody borrowed from? This is bugging me!!

Lo descubro por casualidad. Hermoso sonido.

Druids alive!

Absolute magic!

....pondering trees,

He looks miserable singing it...and its understandable

This is what Coldplay would sound like...if they were good

Guy Garvey could send a man to sleep at ten paces... boring soporific drivel from a hybrid of johnny vegas and ricky gervais .. and about as funny as either of them arent.... an embarassment to Manchester.. through those curtains out .. and him with them..

it's tedious, why so much airplay? Guy garvey's boring unimaginative solo work has completely ruined elbow for me...
