Heard this song as they opened for U2 and it really grabbed me, i love the way they leave space in their music and fill it with subtlety and interestign sounds.
i wouldn't claim to know much about music, but this must be amongst the best albums ever made. It's heartbreakingly beautiful.
I've been lucky enough to see elbow twice in the last week, and both shows were incredible. When Starlings opened the set at Sydney Metro theatre I'm sure I wasn't the only bloke with watery eyes! It's just gorgeous.
.."you are the only thing in any room you're ever in"...that line makes me want to cry..god knows what its like for the person who its about. tho i suppose she does have to sleep with him..hahaonly jolin. i was at this gig and still think about it alot months later, beautiful, the highlight of my year.
Amazing band - roll on the 10th of October and I see 'em live again! They're not a horse that's good for glue, they're the best British Band at the moment and I'm not shaving til until the Mercuy proze is announced...
I'm from St.Johns,Newfoundland( Canada ).A new friend fr.Social Me suggested I check out this band,and am I ever glad he did! I immediately loved ELBOW !!! I'll be suggesting Elbow to all my freinds on Facebook. WOW!!! What a GREAT band!!!

Saw them at Cardiff on the 10th of October.
Phew....I got to see them again.
You could almost run out of superlatives trying describe the experience. If I was ever going to play in a band then this would be my ideal.
