I was so hypnotized by this song on the radio yesterday afternoon as I was driving that I nearly missed my exit.
Give it a few listens and then check out this live orchestral version. It brought tears to my eyes, which I know sounds cheesy, but it's the truth. How can you not sigh over these lines of how love transforms and enriches the ordinary:
You make the moon our mirrorball
The street's an empty stage
The city's sirens, violins
Everything has changed
(the song is "Mirrorball" by Elbow -- all the lyrics are beautiful)
I love Elbow! I think Grounds for Divorce is probably my favorite. There's just something about Guy Garvey's voice. Good choice!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I knew any of their other stuff, but I listened to a lot of their songs today and I did recognize Grounds For Divorce. Sometimes you wonder how you missed out on a band for so long! I will be looking out for their new album next month!
