My love for a band that rescues me every day

A love letter to Elbow.

Dear Elbow,

You build me up, mellow me out, make me sing at the top of my lungs, and pick me up on the most down days.

You have been with me through the throes of new blossoming romances and the depths of pain of becoming a single mum. You are my constant. You ground me.

Your lyrics hit me in the heart — sometimes like a sledgehammer and something like a gentle feather.
