From the EP The Newborn EP (2000)
“Newborn” by Elbow appears on 3 radio countdowns from 3 stations in 2002. It was first released in 2000 on the EP The Newborn EP. Its best result is #71 on The Buzz Top 99 Songs of 2002. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #189 alternative song of 2002.
Elbow's "Newborn" first surfaced in 2000 on The Newborn EP, then came back around as the third single from the English band's debut album, Asleep in the Back, issued in Britain only and across four formats: a CD promo, a 12-inch remix promo, a double CD and a 12-inch vinyl.
Guy Garvey wrote the words, and the music is credited to Garvey, Richard Jupp, Craig Potter, Mark Potter and Pete Turner. Steve Osborne produced it and Danton Supple engineered, with Bruno Ellington assisting, and the arrangement owes a debt to a surprising touchstone: the Genesis song "Entangled".
