Weightless (intro) Songtext
von Elbow

This is another new song (woo!)

A mixed response

Eh, it is the thing of life that you lose people
Particularly as you hit your forties
You very lucky if you′ve not lost anyone by the time you get to forty-five


Ehm, Russ Taylor who ran Crocodile Records died very recently
I only found out today when Shawn who runs this beautiful establishment told me
He was the sweetest, most constant jolly devotee of music amongst the life
Eh, and we loved him very much

Also this time last year we lost our very good friends Scott Alexandra and Anna Goldenberg
Ehm, wonderful human beings and very, very dear friends of ours
Eh, and at the beginning of the year, I lost my dad as well, my dear old dad
And, I would like to toast to all of them, if you don't mind (woo!)

I′d like to say, "Cheers lads!" (Cheers lads!)

This song is to my son about my dad (aaw)
