Elbow Performs “The River” on Studio Q

Nov 9th, 2011 in Music

We won’t shut up about this band.  Having seen Elbow recently at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, our praise-ante has only been upped.  Check out Guy and guys perform the piano hymn, The River, off of this year’s “Build a Rocket Boys” album.  A confessional beauty.

“I walked with the river in kind of a dream
Hand in hand, the all-knowing river and me
To the clammer of rushes and deeply barren trees
A drunk making blossom, the blush to be seen

I told him my sorrows and broken-down dreams
Confessed every lie, replayed every scene
He openly wept as he listened to me
And then, with the sun in the west, he showed me the sea”
