Don’t Worry, Be Sad
“If you find Elbow’s music glum and depressing, you’re missing the point. Anyone who considers Elbow, Radiohead etc in any way miserable needs to spend some time finding the real beauty in this world of ours, for I fear that those folks are taking the whole thing on face value only. Let a little sadness into your lives and see how happy it can make you.”
- Simon Collison on Elbow’s “The Seldom Seen Kid”
comments
A lot of the Elbow backlash is because too many people confuse its mellow tone with Coldplay. And Coldplay hatred is so much in the air that anything GOOD that is even remotely resembling Coldplay is immediately stigmatized. Which is a shame. Because Coldplay is the emotionally hollow band, not Elbow.
