Or Who Are You - And What Have You Done With Elbow?

A lot of bands come roaring out of the blocks full of
youthful passion and claiming to be in it 'for the long
haul'.
They make a great debut album and then stall or run out of
gas. elbow have done it the other way round. Not that
they're exactly the Buena Vista Social Club of rock'n'roll.
But it took them ten years to write their Mercury
shortlisted debut album, “Asleep In The Back”.

Now on new LP, “Cast of Thousands” and with a weight of
experience behind them that is surely unique for a band
making only its second album, they have come up with a
record even more adventurous and startling in its panoramic
sweep and emotional potency.

"’Asleep In the Back’ was the best of ten years work, so
there was no way More...

    Review about Elbow

    another view | Reviewer: Horace
        ------ About the song Grounds For Divorce performed by Elbow

    i heard this music lately but... in dr house episode. It doesn't v any suppouse connection with house but d more i listen d more i guess it looks like a bar from d barmans view, visited sometimes by the seldom customers who re in d middle of divorce (Kids)... and d barman was working on d cocktail for it... divorce can also mean that d band is not the same after The Seldom Seen Kids death... this song matches with many. things! After all when ure divorcing u may want to fall into some hole down in a bar with whores... i guess. 'She' may even keep everythng apart 4m chineese cigarette case. or it sounds like quote for the barman - 'keep the change' or 'change for u'


    No words can articulate the beauty of this song.. | Reviewer: Steve Lane
        ------ About the song Great Expectations performed by Elbow

    I had a very beautiful 2 months with a girl I'd adored for years. We split up, but this music will always take me back. I have to choose my moments when I listen to it..
    The line "You only smoke,cos it's something to share" really hits home..
    Coyney from Liverpool, I totally agree and dont give a F***....


    The Seldom Seen Kid | Reviewer: Miz
        ------ About the song Grounds For Divorce performed by Elbow

    The Seldom Seen Kid is a nickname, given by Guy Garvey's father, to Bryan Glancy, a fellow Mancunian musician and friend of the band who died suddenly in 2006. That's why they say "Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid", having a drink in his memory, then "Someday we'll be drinking with the seldom seen kid", hoping one day they'll see him again. It's quite sweet, really.


    further thoughts | Reviewer: Nivek
        ------ About the song Grounds For Divorce performed by Elbow

    Seems to me that he is already divorced. He already knows the recipe for the cocktail. He gets to see his kid on the weekends. thats why monday's are for drinking to the seldom seen kid. Agree with view that he is falling into the maelstorm of low life around him.

    Polishing his compass is clearly a reference to his dick that leads him in the wrong direction but because he's on his own he's forced to polish it himself, apart from when he is out with the whores


    mirrorballs | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Mirrorball performed by Elbow

    My friend had some of these lyrics on her internet page, so I searched for them on google and I read through them and listened to the song. It seems like the song is perfect for her, and her boyfriend. The thing is, I used to really like my friend. Though, I know she dismissed my feelings as a crush, she never told me said it, she didn't have too. Im just confused because I don't know if I still like her. She used to be really easy to talk to but it doesn't feel the same anymore.


    beautiful and haunting | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Great Expectations performed by Elbow

    even just reading the lyrics sends shivers down my spine. The chorus
    A call girl with yesterday eyes
    Was our witness and priest
    Stockport supporters club kindly supplied us a choir
    Your veil was your smile
    As we move down the aisle
    Of the last bus home
    And this is where I go
    Just when it rains

    is one of the most beautiful pieces of love poetry I´ve ever read


    Burn after reading | Reviewer: Jared
        ------ About the song Grounds For Divorce performed by Elbow

    This song is in the preview of the new Cohen Brothers movie called "Burn after reading". It's got a nice sound to it. My best guess of the message of the song is first, He's working on a cocktail called Grounds for divorce, which might mean that he's about to do some stupid things!! There's talk of drinking and having sex with hookers and constantly falling in this hole in his neighborhood. It seems to kind of go with what the movie is about, which is some idiots like Pitt who get mixed up with the CIA, and think it's gonna be fun! Looks like a decent movie and a strange song.


    Teary | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Great Expectations performed by Elbow

    This song has brought me to tears as well, it's so beautiful. "You were the sun in my Sunday morning" reminds me of those mornings with an old love of mine, making a big lazy breakfast, happy and hopeful and believing love could last forever.


    Pete / Manchester | Reviewer: Pete Whetham
        ------ About the song Great Expectations performed by Elbow

    This has to be one of the best love songs ever written, a beautiful piece of poetry. Definatly one for the wife on valetines day.


    Mexican Standoff Review | Reviewer: mel
        ------ About the song A Mexican Standoff performed by Elbow

    I really like the song. It has a very nice beat, and I really like the voice of whoever sing. And now that I know the words I like them too.


    HAUNTING... | Reviewer: Anne N.
        ------ About the song Fugitive Motel performed by Elbow

    ...utterly haunting. Go have a listen. You'll never forget it.


    beautiful melody, beautiful lyrics | Reviewer: Meghan
        ------ About the song The Everthere performed by Elbow

    this is a very touching song. it reminds me of the offbeat love song "when i'm 64" by the beatles. classic, real.


    Beautiful. | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Great Expectations performed by Elbow

    The lyrics are one to savour. It makes my cry everytime I listen to it, and you know what ? I dont give a F***.

    Very good | Reviewer: hafaball
        ------ About the song Leaders of the Free World performed by Elbow

    I wasn't sure about this song when I first heard it, but then I listened to the lyrics, and it has a bigger meaning, even if the video that goes along with it is pretty wacky. I want get into politics, but this is a great, easy on the ears song that'll get stuck in your head in no time. Very hummable :P


    Innocence and pain | Reviewer: Yke
        ------ About the song Not A Job performed by Elbow

    What I like about this song is the childish optimistic sound of it, together with the old pain of the "bitter punch lines". It's all about not becoming a cynic or even about releasing one self from it. Things keep a "breeze", nothing's getting solid. There is always that spark of hope, openness toward things to come. "Walking through the long grass on your hands" It's "simply" brilliant, like many of the Elbow lyrics.

    My favourite is still Scattered Black And Whites.
