| Funny I always heard it as a scream more than a whistle

oddly enough this borisjohnson character has added "One Day Like This" as one of his favourites. Just a troll, then.
Nice cartoon MisspeltYoof. I love xkcd  |

| back on topic, having listened to the whistle/scream, I also think it's a scream, not a whistle. Nicely edited though, as it starts in the fourth bar of the chorus and carries on back through the first bar. And like jonny I didn't notice it until now - thanks a bunch! |

| I read somewhere too that it is a scream. And the writer of that seemed to like it, he compared it with a bird!  Anyway. I am not a huge fan of Grace under Pressure for the same reason I also don't like "One day like this" that much. Can't help the feeling, that Elbow isn't a "singalong"-band. Maybe more a "quietly-do-harmonyvocals during listening to them"...

| Elbow didn't play this one at the Atlanta show, and I kinda missed it. Not that we didn't get a fantastic set, 'cause we certainly did! But, having heard it last year in Chicago, I know how thrilling and joyous it is to sing that ending along with a crowd, and I did miss it. It made me wonder - do you think the band might phase Grace out a bit more now that One Day Like This has become so popular? Maybe they will decide there's only room for one whopping great sing-along number per show, and ODLT seems to have won so many people over that perhaps Grace will get put out to pasture. I sure hope not - that's a great tune in a live setting and I do hope there's always room for it! |

| I love Grace Under Pressure. Hearing the Youth Orchestra sing it at the Halle gigs was amazing. A beautiful moment that brought tears to my eyes.

| I would rather sing along to GUP than ODLT. I actually skip past ODLT now I just don't like it anymore, far too much overkill. GUP has grown on me and is now one of my favourites.

| I think GUP is one of the best older songs of theirs, I really like it! But agree the whilstle / scream towards the end is annoying! |
