Mirrorball - Elbow

The Seldom Seen Kid [2008]

Lyrics -

I plant the kind of kiss
That wouldn't wake a baby
On the self same face
The lie wouldn't let me sleep
And the street is singing with my feet
And dawn gives me a shadow I know to be taller
All down to you, dear
Everything has changed

My sorry name
Has made it to graffiti
I was looking for
Someone to complete me
Not anymore, dear.
Everything has changed

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

So lift off love
All down to you, dear
And lift off love
All down to you, dear

And we took the town to town last night
We kissed like we invented it
And now I know what every step is for
To lead me to your door
Know that while you sleep
Everything has changed

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.

There's a certain brilliance that you know you've found in a song that, when you listen to it, you think that there is no better way for it to sound.

[Fillthrill]

total awesomeness, I wake up to this song every morning

@pathfinder5000 This one tastes like lemonade in a cold day and smells like my best friend's sweater when she hugs me. Or at least that is how I feel it.

Pearl Jam songs remind me of the smell of rain and Incubus' remind me of hot chocolate.

@iseabbv

you use all five senses to listen to music? what does this song taste like to you? Tastes like key-lime pie to me.

[polpetta70]

my God how beautiful is this song and if I grasped the lyrics right also so poetic and marvellous... and I arrived here reading the credits of the book breaking dawn and I didn't wanted to read the book... how strange the world is.. full of coincidences ... and some are pure beauty ... like this song

I'm just blown away. That bit at 1.37, Lovely. Not many things make ecstatic these days but this is like fresh mountain air. My daughter is going out to buy it as I write.

[Laminateddeffect]

i cant this song out of my head! its very good.

[iseabbv]

@TheAnxiousMan Not exactly, more like I can smell what the guy in the song would be smelling as he goes through it all. Overactive imagination :D

[TheAnxiousMan]

@iseabbv you can smell music?

[pete1987pete]

I really love this song,I think its even better than Pete Gabriels version!

ps.hi ugly! x

[flossierock]

me too, its my alarm tone

[iseabbv]

@Blahgahbleh

Some bands do that with the timbre of voice - see Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. The music can be copied but Johnny Rzeznik's voice cannot be bettered. Elbow do this but with the whole package, harmony and melody together in a stunning brilliance. I use all 5 sense to listen to the music rather than just hear it
