Elbow music

Apologies if these kinds of posts are your pet peeve. I just had to share this. :)

The Bones of You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r3Bs_KkP94

When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch
Of a song that I know
And the world moves in slow-mo
Straight to my head
like the first cigarette of the day

And it's you, and it's May
And we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago
And three thousand miles away




And another one just because...

Mirrorball
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMD7FIpq11Q&feature=PlayList&p=1B877BBF1415AC56&index=0

You made the moon our mirrorball
The streets an empty stage
The city's sirens, violins
Everything has changed.
Everything has changed.
Everything has changed.


Ok and this one too...
One Day Like This
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfVejpYc8Zc&feature=PlayList&p=1B877BBF1415AC56&index=2

Throw those curtains wide,
One day like this a year'd see me right

1. Good tunes!
19 years later I'm finally introduced.

I liked the first two a lot. Moody without being depressing. I like stuff like that. Both are keepers.

The third reminded me of a post MrScorpio made about a song he discovered in the end credits of a tv show. If I ever make a movie I'll put this one in the credits. I had an image of people, still mesmerized by a good movie, listening to this while staring at the credits marching up the screen.

I gave a listen to "Switching Off" too, but that was a little (way) too down for me right now. Only for special occasions I guess, that one.

2. His voice reminds me of Peter Gabriel's
which is a good thing! :)

3. Hooray for Elbow!
Guy Garvey's BBC radio show is a weekly fixture for me:

And here's an excellent live version of "The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver":
