I totally thought this was a girl singing... but on youtube all the clips are Bejar singing. I see them in Paris in two days so maybe all will be revealed then. YAY! |

| Belle & Sebastian – The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner Lyrics

I used to be a middle distance runner. And it was kinda lonely. I wish I'd had an iPod back then so I could've listened to this song whilst running. This song doesn't really have a concrete meaning to me, not one that I can figure out anyway...It just seems really wistfull. As though they're sort of discontent with how everything is going and would like to just escape it all on a train. I think pretty much everyone has felt like that at some point... |

| Belle & Sebastian – Is It Wicked Not to Care? Lyrics

I think this song is about someone who's sorting of refusing to grow up and do things the way you are expected to do them...Someone who is spending their time doing ultimately pointless things and not really caring. It also comes across as pretty lonely...like living your life that way isn't as entirely satisfying as you hoped and maybe people start leaving you behind after a while. This is one of my favorite B&S songs. I guess I see a little of myself in it. Heh... |

Um, I was wondering what you guys make of the references to motherhood and pregnancy in this song. She mentions going in search of a midwife and 'motherlessness'. I'm going to see her on Sunday and I've been listening to Ys a lot. I've got all the songs rattling around in my head but those few references in 'Emily' stood out to me for some reason. Any thoughts? |
