Belle & Sebastian – Act of the Apostle II Lyrics 16 years ago
Alot of this seems to be one of those strange semi-autobiographical songs that Murdoch often writes, where he transposes his own stories or opinions onto the life of a teenage (more often than not) girl. In "Just a Modern Rock Story", a book detailing the career of B&S, Stuart tells fo a story from his youth where he travelled from Ayr in Scotland to London alone in the attempt to speak to the band 'Felt' (or it may have been 'Yes'), a band he idolizes. I think religion is used as a metaphor for music, claiming it creates the same feeling of freedom, release and pure love as the former does.
