Belle and Sebastian were formed in an all-night café in
Glasgow, January 1996. Stuart Murdoch (singer/songwriter)
and Stuart David (bass guitar) met on a government training
scheme and recorded some demos, which were picked up by a
Jeepster scout who was taking part in the Stow College
Music Business Course. The course, run by ex-Associate Alan
Rankine, produces and releases one record every year on the
college label Electric Honey Records, usually a single.
However in the case of Belle and Sebastian they had enough
songs to record a whole album, and so the elusive Tigermilk
was born. Recorded in three days and one thousand copies
released on vinyl only, original copies now change hands
for up to £400 per copy.
Belle and Sebastian then signed to Jeepster in Augus More...
Review about Belle & Sebastian A Space Boy Dream | Reviewer: Anna
------ About the song A Space Boy Dream performed by Belle & Sebastian
This song absolutely terrified me.
I knew most of the songs on the album so I put the whole thing on my iPod and I was listening to it whilst falling asleep, and then this came one... and I dreamt this song, I really did. It was the most bizarre dream ever, and I woke up at like 4 in the morning in the dark and I was so scared, paralyzed with fear. Every time I listen to it a little bit of that fear comes back to me. And I love it.
fun? | Reviewer: johnny c
------ About the song I'm A Cuckoo performed by Belle & Sebastian
if you listen to the lyrics the song is not "fun" or "gay".. its about desperation, loneliness and self doubt. the music may sound happy, but the lyrics are very sad, thats what makes this song cool.
Read the lyrics. Not a sappy love song. More like a trapeze act that swings up at the beginning and ends with the acrobat falling toward the ground at the end. Verse by verse: First, you're in love. Then single. Then in love again. Then "another partner must be found", or settling for whoever comes along. Then you're out of love with them. Next thing you know you're killing innocent women in villages. Eep.
I was first sitting on the train when I heard this and it made me freeze in my seat. I'm not sure what it was, but I loved it and still do. The fact that Stuart Murdoch speaks it instead of singing it and the way the music works so perfectly with everything. In a funny way I can relate to it.

------ About the song If She Wants Me performed by Belle & Sebastian
I love all of Belle & Sebastian's lyrics. This song especially. Dress up in you is waaaaaaay good too. They are just the genius writers! I think the best writers are song writers, and the best poets are song writers, and the best poets and song writers in the world are Belle & Sebastian.
pfft best song belle & sebastian has ever done?! They have hordes of way better songs, you all just know about this one because it was on the soundtrack of a popular Hollywood movie. It really annoys me how everyone thinks this is their best song, completely ignoring gems like Beautiful, I'm Waking Up To Us, Dog On Wheels and the hundred or so odd good songs that the band has. This song falls on the lower tier, as far as B&S goes, believe me.

------ About the song I'm A Cuckoo performed by Belle & Sebastian
It's not like Jesus told him "I am the lord, love thy neighbour," etc... That might be a bit crap.
Jesus told him 'go after every coin like it was the last in the world' Not your typical religious message. Think about it.
Doesn't this just remind you of any time you've ever had a few weird dreams about someone and realized you have feelings for them? It's just plain beautiful, both the music and the lyrics. Another of those genius Belle and Sebastian songs that speaks to you.
I'm not one for sappy love songs, but this song seriously had me bopping my head and running to the nearest music shop for the CD. That is how awesome I think it is, especially since I didn't just download it!!! :P
Niagara Falls | Reviewer: Tal
------ About the song Wrapped Up In Books performed by Belle & Sebastian
The singer wasn't just traveling abroad-- he was traveling to Niagara Falls, the common location for stateside honeymoons. No wonder Glasgow isn't giving him a feeling. He's been spending too much time on the Rainbow Bridge.

Great song | Reviewer: Rich'
------ About the song White Collar Boy performed by Belle & Sebastian
Home to some of Belle&Sebastian's most timeless lyrics
"You were chained to a girl that would kill you with a look
(It's a nice way to die she's so easy on the eye!)"
and some of the catchiest beats, this song is a must for anyone who likes to laugh and tap their feet to unbelievably great music -- just like all their songs!
ps. Like this one? 'The blues are still blue' (the very next song on the album) is great for lyrics and catchiness.

------ About the song Asleep On A Sunbeam performed by Belle & Sebastian
great, upbeat song about the joys of being free and the lingering feeling of summer. Love the line " my joy will be complete" as if acheiving joy is so simple.

------ About the song She's Losing It performed by Belle & Sebastian
I love this song so much. I don't know if I quite get the lyrics, but the melody is just adorable, and I love the sound of the-is it a violin?-sort of weaving around in the background. It's just beautiful.
'the catchy tunes are amazing..' and the solemnization is grounding.
