74. Elbow - The Lonliness of a Tower Crane Driver


From The Album Seldom Seen Kid

There is not much to Elbow. They are a standard British Alternative Rock band who puts out an album every couple of years which incedently have one song which peaks my interest.. every couple of years. "Fugitive Motel" is still near the top of "All Time Best Songs." It is important to mention that the Seldom Seen Kid is a spectacular album and actually has a few singles which could of taken the place of "the loneliness of a "Tower Crane Driver." While "Auidence With The Pope" is a narcotic pop smash hit, its structure lacked something that "Tower Crane" had; which is the constant winding of tension. It is that aspect which compliments the opiate voice of Guy Garvey and makes this song trot ahead in the Elbow race. Below is a fan interpretation of Tower Crane Driver, which...isn't...that...bad...of....a...video; if you are into minimalism.
