I’ve loved Elbow since I first heard them in 2002. Their last album was a corker, full of beautiful melodies, clever arrangements, and lyrics that made me ache to hear their wit. Guy Garvey has a gift for lyrics, and The Bones of You was my favorite song on The Seldom Seen Kid. I had to learn to play it, and put it on repeat until I knew all the words intimately, like a poem I had to recite in public.
