Newborn (7:37)

Cover of asleep in the back

From asleep in the back and 10 other releases

From their debut album ‘Asleep In The Back’ this is an epic tune that would blow you away if you saw them perform this live and is often a closing song of their set, ‘I will be the corpse in your bathtub’ is the opening line and goes from there to a crescendo of graceful power and truth. A classic Elbow song for all time.

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub
Useless
I'll be as deaf as a post
If you hold me like a newborn

    The buildup towards the organ solo is fantastic. And then the solo itself... whoa!

    The first song I ever heard by Elbow, Why hasn't America as not caught on. Great hammond organ by Craig Potter.

    When I saw them play this tune it was stunning. Amazing stuff! I don't know if it's my favourite, they have written so many good songs it's hard to decide.

    'My badly strung declaration... to you' Heartwarming and powerful from start to finish.

    Guy Garvey's lyrics and Craig Potter's awesome hammond solo are the cherries on the sweetest cake. For me, it's the best track they have ever done live.
