The heartbreaking closing track on “The Seldom Seen Kid” written and performed for the Seldom Seen Kid himself, Bryan Glancy, a Manchester singer songwriter and best friend to Guy Garvey, Elbow’s lead singer.
Bryan passed away in 2007 after a sudden illness. This is Garvey’s tribute to him.
Before leaving get to the bar
No one round here makes you pay
Never very good at goodbyes
So gentle shoulder charge
Love you mate
Love you mate
Salford skyline blue
Always you
Could fly round any corner
But until you do
Love you mate
