    Best band of the last 20 years. Sublime, cerebral, gorgeous melodies and a nice, unassuming bunch of chaps. What with Teenage Fanclub too, Scotland can give itself a hearty pat on the back.

    Wish I could write just ONE SONG this good. I could die happy, singing my one song, so good that others around me and my deathbed, would sing it too, all of us with smiles on our faces. Seriously, this is one great tune. Mr. Murdoch has the gift like no one else these days. John and Paul had it; so did Paul Simon, Joni, Cole Porter, a few others.

    It was pretty bright, up on the rainbow bridge tonight
    I could see into your window although you're far away
    You were racing in a car
    Beside a boy, you just don't know if he is up for
    What you have in mind
    If he is up for what you have in mind
    Change is on the cards, but this time it will be hard
    But I never want to leave you
    We've never had a fight
    You should never split a pole
    You should never split at all
    I wish I had two paths that I could follow
    I'd write the ending without any sorrow
    I will say a prayer, just while you are sitting there
    I will wrap my hands around you
    I know it will be fine
    We've got a fantasy affair
    We didn't get wet, we didn't dare
    Our aspirations, are wrapped up in books
    Our inclinations are hidden in looks
    Summer's hastening on
    I'm trying to get a feeling from the city
    But I've been unfaithful
    I've been travelling abroad
    We've got a fantasy affair
    We didn't get wet, we didn't dare
    Our aspirations, are wrapped up in books
    Our inclinations are hidden in looks

Mi miembro favorito de Belle and Sebastian es Stuart Murdoch, pero Sarah y Stevie lo hacen también genial. Me encantaría que en un futuro álbum hubiese una canción en la que cantasen los tres cada uno una estrofa o una parte solos, sería MARAVILLOSO 😊😊
