Belle sebastian arab strap megaupload

So yeah, but anyway, so his own state of mind is the last layer and gives you more insight on his personal feelings. Going off of the fact that the album is also titled "The Boy With the Arab Strap", I would also analyze more meaning to that phrase however. Therefore, the phrase probably expresses or represents a period of Murdoch's life, much described in this song.

But that's just a guess because I honestly haven't heard any of the other songs on the album, so I couldn't necessarily make that conclusion.

And then again, there is a possibility they just used that as the title because it sounded the most interesting. That's all I've got to say. It's my first Belle and Sebastian song I'm only fourteen so I look forward to exploring more of their music.

If you actually read all of this, congratulations adn thank you for taking the time, bro. Personal note: I don't know about anyone else, but that first line of the song about the bus ride, saying: "A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time" and a line later on in the song saying bluntly "I missed the bus" really resonated in me.

I don't even know why, I just like the way he wrote it in there, so bluntly stating a common experience that could also stand as a metaphor desribing something deeper. Going off the context of the song maybe how he relationship with Campbell was ultimately ephemeral a mile and a half is a short distant but felt like a long, enduring time anyway.

And the part when he says "I missed the bus" is when he finds the guy in the Arab Strap in bed with her and he ultimately realizes there's no way to continue the relationship that was already falling apart. But yeah. That was just a side note. Stuart Murdoch was in a relationship with Isobel for a while and I think this was written as the relationship was breaking down.

General Comment Spat is correct, it's a song about the relationship between Murdoch and Campbell. There is obviously also a social commentry on London itself but then it's not unlike Belle and Sebastian to include different layers.

General Comment Everyone discussing this needs to see Stuart Murdoch telling NME it's on youtube literally that the song was written while the band were in London with Arab Strap, another band, and he was really unwell and out of it so he spent a lot of time roaming around and being solitary on the bus from Camden etc, which passed a prison so that's in the song too.

He didn't know at the time what an arab strap actually was, so the sexual stuff wasn't the point of the song at all. It's about his experience in London, which is pretty much exactly the way the song describes - posh and filthy and lonely and crowded, all at once.

General Comment They performed his in concert this year and it was awesome. They are great live! Fucked if I know what this is about MalFunkt on November 06, Link. General Comment in the belle and sebastian message board, they say an arab strap is pretty much a sex device for the penis. General Comment ps. Artists - B. Fans Only Introducing Rate These Lyrics.
