    I should be working instead of watching a dozen of your videos.. but I don't feel bad indeed. I can't describe the joy of watching them and discovering another of my favorite songs covered by you again and again. Regards form Spain, specially to the redhead girl wearing glasses ;P.

    OMG How have I missed this? I have lived with this song for years seen it live so many times but this has just given me a unique joy.
    I also kept wondering would they sing every line of the outro

    I have saw Arab Strap live in about 96 playing alongside Mogwai. I believe that a young lady who had been dating a member of Belle & Sebastian ran off with one of the guys from Arab Strap IIRC.

    • @BlownMacTruck
      @BlownMacTruck 12 днів тому

      Of course they do. It’s literally the title of the track and a central part of the lyrics. You think they’re not going to google it, let alone the director not giving them context? Stop clutching your pearls over art.

      It mimics the original recording. The line "Sunday bathtime could take a while" is barely audible in the original.

  • @IRISHHAMMER1
    @IRISHHAMMER1 9 років тому +4

    So im watching this video, and liking it, then realize that some of the lyrics are changed, or being sung improperly....and it occurs to me some in the choir don't know what an Arab Strap is (he has an arab strap, not from the arab strap)......so once I clear the coffee from my sinuses...I consider to strum my guitar, and decide maybe its not my place to ruin someone's day...you guys sound great!

    • @olivergoodacre
      @olivergoodacre 8 років тому +8

      Agreed, fantastic version of the song... but the song is about Aiden Moffat from the band Arab Strap aka the boy from the Arab Strap

    • @Nefertiti228
      @Nefertiti228 8 років тому +6

      Actually you're mistaken. The original lyrics use both FROM AND WITH. "You were laid on your back WITH the boy FROM the arab strap."

    • @w0mblemania
      @w0mblemania 6 років тому

      That's OK... the writer of the song didn't know what an arab strap was either. His mother told him what it meant, after the fact.

    I'm sure these are great people but I feel like this version sounds drone and unfeeling, where the original has an upbeat energy to it that is one of the most appealing aspects of the song to me -- the mix of melancholy and hope. Maybe that's just me.
