Elbow - "Mirrorball"

There are so many good songs by Elbow that it was really hard for me to choose just one. I could have just as easily gone with "Grounds for Divorce", "Any Day Now", or "One Day Like This". However, the real choice came down to "Mirrorball" or "Switching Off". I love both songs, but "Mirrorball" has better overall instrumentation, and I think does a better job of pointing towards lead singer Guy Garvey's primary vocal influence: Peter Gabriel. It's fairly noticeable throughout, but in my opinion, it's unmistakable in the final refrain "...down to you dear". If you happen to like the song, you should check out the orchestral session performed at Abbey Road studios. Enjoy!
