The essence of a well written song is what you will hear from them. Songs in which you can tackle from different perspectives, often about the same subject, and come away with justification, reinforcement, or contradiction of your own discretion. Imagery runs rampant in the songs 'rain fallin' against the lonely tenement that sets my my to wander into the windows of my lovers,' just whisks me away to some small flat in Glasgow, being there without being there.
Granada theatre was the venue, amazing place, kudos to the person who decided to 'tier' the place and raise the stage so everyone could see. It reminds me of a poor man's Fillmore.
The Belle and Sebastian guys pull off a great show, although they seemed a bit fatigued, the banter was there, and the dorky white boy dance moves were there too.
Here were some videos taken from the show, pretty small and digestible and fun. The light show was fantastic, check out the pictures below. OK, now I won't talk about B & S for a long time, it's overload!
Dress Up in You (video) -- An amazing slow song with lots of emotion
If You Find yourself caught in Love (video) - Say a prayer to the man above
Get Me Away From Here I'm dying (video) (video 2)- play me a song to set me free, nobody writes them like they used to so it may as well be me
Your Cover's Blow (video) - Pick up the girl in someone's borrowed Mini, take her to dinner use her boyfriends money
Me and the Major (video) - don't see eye to eye on a number of things
