ElbowOne Day Like This (6:34)
From The Seldom Seen Kid and 12 other releases
The One Day Like This Songfacts reports that this won the award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically at the 2009 Ivor Novello awards. It was a double whammy for Elbow at the ceremony as another of their songs, “Grounds for Divorce,” won the gong for Best Contemporary Song.
Elbow performed “One Day Like This” at the London 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony, which saw the track re-enter the UK singles charts to peak at No.4 in Aug 2012. The band also composed and produced the BBC Olympics Theme featuring the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and the Olympic Choir.

Paul Kelly hates this, and I have almost perfect compatibility with him. I adore this utterly. Thanks, Last.fm.

I just well up listening to this. My throat has a lump, my chest feels tight. I feel foolish, it affects me so much.

...top top tune, .....anyone any idea how they chose the band's name? (Any chance it had something cryptic or an in-joke re. the phrase 'Arse from his.....' Incidentally this track came up whilst perusing I Am Kloot Radio...

The song suited the occasion absolutely perfectly when they performed it for the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony. Expect a whole new set of fans as a result.
