Gentle as.. it won't leave my head, and i'm very very happy about it!!!!

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Mon 06 Oct 2008, 08:15

Growers: Tower Crane Driver, Powder Blue, Fugitive Motel, Switching Off, Some Riot, and Grounds For Divorce (especially the point 1 minute 15 seconds in which HAS to be played at maximum volume)!!

Fallers: Don't Mix Your Drinks, Mirrorball and Weather to Fly

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Mon 06 Oct 2008, 15:51

Mirrorball?!?!?! Shocked

are you mad??

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Mon 06 Oct 2008, 15:54

Just because it's a Faller at the moment doesn't mean it won't be a Grower again!! Hey - it's only my opinion!!

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Mon 06 Oct 2008, 18:15

just joking emma,

i dont like newborn at the moment... shhhhhhh!!

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Mon 06 Oct 2008, 18:20

Newborn?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

Are you mad?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Mon 06 Oct 2008, 19:57

probably... ... ... ?!?!?! (i apologise profusely in advance to the extreme usage of exclamation and question marks) - (just thought id cover my tracks...) - (only jokin)

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Tue 07 Oct 2008, 08:19

You're right Leo - for me to distinguish Mirrorball as a Faller was utter madness! Have listened to it again this morning and would now like to officially remove it from my Faller's list and seek forgiveness!!

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Tue 07 Oct 2008, 12:43

Mirrorball for me has something in common with Great Expectations and Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodles. I don't think I'll ever go off it.

My faller is Starlings... I've actually found myself starting the album with Bones of You. My grower is Tower Crane Driver - I seem to get more goosebumps every time I hear it.

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Mon 20 Oct 2008, 18:24

Buttons and Zips - its really not at all bad

Why do the elboys not like COT?? i love it!!

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Mon 20 Oct 2008, 18:33

Leo... WTF?!
What you mean they don't like cast of thousands... Quote your sources boi!

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Mon 20 Oct 2008, 19:51

well, recent tour, they havent played ANY of COT really. the ood fugitive motel here, and switching off there.

my fave album aswell!!

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Mon 20 Oct 2008, 20:18

GFD has fallen for me. After hearing it live, the mp3 just doesn't cut it. Shame really, cos it was fantastic live.

I had noticed that, there was no CoT at all in Cardiff! I don't know if that means they don't like it, they just have a huge back catalogue!

(Wouldn't have minded Switching Off, though...)

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Tue 21 Oct 2008, 19:34

I missed Grace... and would have loved switching off... but its so good!

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Tue 21 Oct 2008, 21:04

Grace would have been awesome! - such a great song

anywhoo - theres another thread for these pressing issues... Wink

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Wed 22 Oct 2008, 23:30

Growers - Newborn, Can't Stop and Buttons & Zips

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Thu 23 Oct 2008, 07:33

Most Elbow-Songs get me at once but one of the growers for me is Starlings. I still don't like the trumpets that much, but the lyrics are really cool and because I'm a bit in love with a waiter like the man in the lyrics I understand what he means with "Stubborn selfish and too old" because I feel like that when I think of cute Stratos in my Holidayvillage...sigh...
Fallers I haven't yet at Elbow.

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Thu 23 Oct 2008, 11:02

Newborn is definitely my grower, after the life affirmingly good performance of it in Leeds! Some more growers... Our Little Boat. Starlings. Crawling With Idiot. Scattered Black and Whites.

Faller? I dunno it's a pretty good time for Elbow and I. Very Happy

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Thu 23 Oct 2008, 11:44

Never really got into the Fix

Started to love Scattered Black and Whites lately and still love the singalong for One Day Like This, its bound to get boring soon but not yet.

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Thu 23 Oct 2008, 15:47

I love that good music does this to you.
All of a sudden you just hear the song, like it wasn't there before... it's as if you discovered the record all over again!

loving Weather to Fly especially after the live version in recent gigs! Smile

and Forget Myself....

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Thu 30 Oct 2008, 17:36

weeeeeeeeere a-waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Smile

love it, should be on the album as a proper song. and im glad that they didnt give it the 'anthem' treatment. its much better for being stripped down. great song.

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Thu 30 Oct 2008, 19:34

Growers: None One, Whisper Grass, Snowball, Suffer, Stumble, The Long War Shuffle, etc... I've been (re)discovering the B-sides lately Smile

Fallers: The Fix and Audience With The Pope.

Subject: Re: Growers and Fallers... Thu 30 Oct 2008, 20:11

Growers (if that is even possible): Weather to Fly
Weather to Fly
Weather to Fly
Weather to Fly
Weather to Fly
Weather to Fly
