Re: Re: Elbow "The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver". Request of a list of deeply moving songs.



'The Seldom Seen Kid' is an amazing album. Every song it is brilliant. My favourite is probably this one:

They're surely the most unlikely of stadium rockers but that's what they are on this side of the Atlantic.

Ok, this is serendipity :)

In the last two days I am totally obsessed with this song:

I must say, I am a bit emotional lately, because I am in love. And this
song get to move me deeply.
So I am at first willing to make them know to more people because no
idea if they did other good songs but only for this they would deserve
the nobel for emotionality.
And, second, I would like to ask you, beloved musician of this list, for
suggestions of other songs which can move as much as this can.
I remember to have been moved by many song till the point of tears.
In this moment, though, I can't think to another more powerful than
this.

But, in order to create a true, sincere, pure, elevated, deeply
emotional tracklist, which would never ever ever ever ever include
things like "all by myself" please, I ask you to contribute to my
knowledge of highly emotional songs/themes, so that I can feed my
struggling, and my cradling ;)

And I confirm, love is the only thing which moves me more than music.

Art,   their first three albums are AMAZING!!!!!     Frankly,  I've not
been as impressed with the last one but
it still is better than 95% of the swill out there in pop these days.

Listen to the album "Leaders of the Free World"...............just
awesome!

To me, they are not unlike the Beatles if the Beatles had been from far
Northern Britain and
had been a little darker and more melancholic.    Their productions are
amazing and they take lots
of chances with found sounds and weird production techniques.   I think
that their singer also has one
of the most beautiful voices in pop today.    He sings BETTER in concert
than on record if you can believe that.

yours,   Rick
