Belle & Sebastian – "I Want The World To Stop" (2010)

2011/01/22


It wasn't that long ago that I felt as though time was slipping away. I just could not keep up. I wanted the world to stop.

…but life is a journey, a trip you must take and cannot put on pause. You just have to make choices with your time as to how you spend it, and with whom. Somethings you wanted will not happen, but then perhaps they were not that important to you? You cannot do everything, be everything, know everyone. But you can do lots, be lots, and know lots of people. Good luck!

PS: When I first heard this song I thought, wow, that band really sounds like Belle & Sebastian… not realizing A. Belle & Sebastian had released a new album and B. that was them! I can be such a dope. They've just had so many albums at this point! Oh but they are good, aren't they?

Album of the Week: Belle & Sebastian – "If You're Feeling Sinister" (1996)

2009/05/03

Track 6: Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying:


When I first heard Belle & Sebastian via this album it spoke to my uncertainties about who I am, what I believed, and whether I'd be able to accept it all or not. There is a delicate nature to the album that I connect with. Being "sensitive" and "male" is not "cool" so when I heard this album I loved it, embraced it, and waved it like a flag.

This album is clearly not for everyone. I would imagine most people would not understand "Belle & Sebastian", but I implore you give them a chance. I would not want anyone to miss out on this album or their other excellent works.

Here are my 5 favorites from the album, with "Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying" being my favorite.

Track 1: The Stars Of Track And Field

Track 10: Judy And The Dream Of Horses

It was tough to pick the 5 because the whole album is so ingrained in my mind and picking a favorite was even tougher.
