Stirring “Hey Jude” styled vocal climax, an uplifting call and response melody and string accompaniment, and Guy Garvey’s heartfelt narrative makes for one of the true epic’s of the late decade. Heard in every slo-mo sports montage for the next couple of years, Elbow had finally emerged to a greater public awareness with this superb anthem.
