AOTW [3]: Elbow
Will keep this one short since it is another crazy weekend for me.
Not a new myspace band but Elbow has been around for quite sometime.
Pretty big name in fact in the UK,especially after winning the mercury music award last year.
I think their music is quite spectacular and I like how I won’t get sick of their songs after listening to them on loop.
One of my personal favourite is “One Day Like This”, I really liked how they composed the song into such a musical piece, playing with the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Really simple lyrics with soulful music, just really amazing stuff ! Love the Strings !
Take a listen and perhaps you’ll find yourselves getting goosebumps like I do.
I hope I’ll get to see them live during their Europe tour next year (*IF* I get to go on exchange,that is).
Elbow – One Day Like This
Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off the heavy one
Heavy like a loaded gun
What made me behave that way?
Using words I never say
I can only think it must be love
Oh, anyway, it’s looking like a beautiful day
Someone tell me how I feel
It’s silly wrong but vivid right
Oh, kiss me like the final meal
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight
Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
And only now I see the light
Yeah, lying with me half-awake
Oh, anyway, it’s looking like a beautiful day
When my face is chamois-creased
If you think I’ll wink, I did
Laugh politely at repeats
Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin
Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
And only now I see you like
Yeah, lying with me half-awake
Stumbling over what to say
Well, anyway, it’s looking like a beautiful day
So throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year’d see me right!
