Maybe it's the tequila talking, but I wish there was an 11 I could give this song right now. I challenge the RP community to name a better love song from the new millennium.

RP is great. I can't say I like Elbow though. Dreary songs and a singer with a mouth full of mashed potato.

Elbow = Amazing. Check out their live BBC performance. Words don't do justice.

Good point. I am at the point in my life where I can afford a high-speed, unlimited connection at home - I'm fortunate. At work they let me stream though too. When I was a young-un I had to rely on the radio and friends for good music. Plus going to bars and parties where they played good tunes. I like to support RP so I know other young folks maybe strapped for cash can listen for free cuz I know some day they will return the favor to the next generation.

Well said and a good thought. I have to hope those coming up behind us have a chance to experience the kind of cooperative world Bill and Becca have created and know how to manage thier participation in it. Go Youth! Be amazing.

Lucky you you have such access to Radio Paradise. I bought the album because I only get to Radio Paradise a couple hours a week and their air play introduces me to bands I wouldn't otherwise hear. This song lead to immediate CD purchase and a couple of gifts purchases. It rocks! Go DC!

This song has slowly worked its way into the pantheon of Hud's Favorite Songs — which, in my opinion, is a far superior achievement than a Grammy.

After hearing a few tracks from this album on RP, I went out and bought it. It's probably the most heavily played album on my playlist for the last couple years.

I'm surprised by the significant divide between comments on here. I'm a huge fan of Elbow's work. Huge.

{#Eek} On this, we disagree. {#Naughty}

Maybe you should do some research into the meaning of the word, "dirge." {#Stupid}

Couldn't believe I had this at a 7. Went to 10!

Fosters music - looks like it's meant to but is weak as piss and extremely disappointing to consume

I have a kind of serious comment about this song and album. Normally, I would have bought the CD long ago, cuz it's awesome. But almost the whole CD is played here on RP (over several years). I am not sure this is good for the band - they need to earn a living. I really cannot just go out and buy it now.

How about you check out their older albums - they've been around and earning a living for a while. {#Angel}

So the whole cd has been played here over the course of several years. There's your free preview. Did you like the songs? Want to listen to them whenever you choose?

Buy the album. Do it from Bob's links - he gets a little kickback!
