Cover art for The Take Off and Landing of Everything lyrics by Elbow

After doing some research on elbow (they're not particularly popular in the us) ive noticed that none of their other music sounds like this song, only their work with an orchestra comes even remotely close. But, it did bring the preciousness of this song to the fore. This track seems to contain a transcendental quality to it, it sort of vast a spell over the listener. I can almost picture native Americans dancing around a fire in a chant that keeps the same beat as this song. The singer casts a web as the last word of each line is extended by amazing effects.
