"Guy Garvey has said that he is regularly inspired by his bandmates. The Elbow frontman told The Guardian that he feels challenged to compete with the work his long-time colleagues come up with. &amp;quot;For fear of making us sound like The Waltons, my band are a huge source of inspiration for me,&amp;quot; Garvey said. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re my peers, my family; when they come up with something impressive, it inspires me to come up with something equally impressive.&amp;quot; Among other advice, he said that writers should not be scared of failure and added: &amp;quot;If it&amp;#039;s all getting too intense, remember it&amp;#039;s only a song. &amp;quot;I learned that the hard way: when I was younger, I played the part of the erratic, irascible drunk in order to have something to write about.&amp;quot; Garvey also urged people to &amp;quot;just start scribbling&amp;quot;, explaining: &amp;quot;The first draft is never your last draft. Nothing you write is by accident.&amp;quot; Elbow started work on their sixth studio album, the follow-up to 2011&amp;#039;s Build a Rocket Boys!, last summer. &amp;gt; Elbow to soundtrack BBC Olympics 2012 coverage Watch Elbow perform &amp;#039;Mexican Standoff&amp;#039; live at Fearless Music, NYC below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
