| Elbow – The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
|
Quiet right. As I heard it, Guy's brother met the crane driver in a pub. At first he was boasting about his job as he didn't have to work too hard, had some mod cons up there and got paid very well. By the end of the evening the bloke was pissed drunk, crying and telling them how lonely he was. The song is about ambition leading to isolation and loneliness. |

| Jeff Buckley – Dream Brother Lyrics
| 16 years ago

No one has mention that this song is written as a response to a song by his Father, Tim Buckley, called Dream Letter. The two songs share a sort of similar movement. I found myself half recognizing parts in the two songs. You could see how Jeff might of been inspired by the song itself as well as the desire to write something in his memory. |
