    Running to Stand Still

Heard this song this morning on XPN's Sleepy Hollow, and was struck by their interpretation of it. Check out Elbow doing Running to Stand Still, which some digging revealed to be part of a benefit album for a UK organization called War Child International, which works to help children affected by war.

Not sure what's going in with their only being a still image of the band. They make it more understated, which I am not sure Bono and crew are capable of doing.

And Mr. Edge talking about the song, from the DVD put out by the same organization.

    Not bad. Not bad at all. And done for an excellent cause. It's a win-win.
