It’s not a favourite track off the album, a bit radio-friendly for me, but it’s great nonetheless.
My fave is The Lonelines Of A Tower Crane Driver, but love all of it.
I’ve been a fan of Elbow since the first album and I’m glad they are finally getting the recognition they deserve.
Seen them five times , supporting the release of the last three albums and they’ve never been less than outstanding.
The missus and I met Guy Garvey at the release party in Brum for the CD & DVD of Leaders Of The Free World and he seems genuinely a sound fella. (Not to mention incredibly talented songwriter.)
Not many bands have moved me to tears (in a good way!) but several Elbow songs have done.
The first time I saw them play Newborn live was probably the most incredible experience I’ve ever had wantching a live band.
Scattered Black and Whites, Puncture Repair, Newborn, Mirrorball, Station Approach, Forget Myself, Switching Off, Fugitive Motel, Starlings, Grace Under Pressure…off the top of my head – so many stunning songs.
