I'm going deaf, you're growing melancholy
Things fall apart, I dont know why we bother at all
But life is good and "Its always worth living at least
for a while"If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
They'd write it on my grave or when they scattered
my ashes
On second thoughts I'd rather hang about and be there
with my best friend
If they want me...
If She Wants Me 2003
The music of indie angels rocked the intimate but ornate surroundings of the Town Hall last night...Belle and Sebastian were back in town and they were on form...simply awesome. Their perfect harmonious music with cutting lyrics addressing everything from lovelorneness to anti war protest, was punctated by long gaps as they either joked with the audience or discussed a rearranged set list between themselves. Again they brought someone up on stage to sing with them and Debra did a great job with her karoke voice but enthusiastic dancing and obvious love for B&S to get the crowd roaring...
These Scots gave a great introduction to their new material, which is improving on every listen....this indoor concert was a wonderful compliment to the more relaxed concert in Prospect Park Brooklyn I saw earlier this year....
I have some more photos in my new album...
And I know it could be me
I'm always asking for more
I keep running round in circles
I keep looking for a doorway
I'm going to need two lives
To follow the paths I've been taking...Stay Loose:2003
My friendsters comments:
What a wonderful band!! They played at NYC's intimate Town Hall where otherwise Democratic/political goings on usually happen..but a great setting for Belle & Sebastian's unique, almost pop musical lyricism and strumming could get down! This band was almost gawky at times when addressing the audience--they were so NERVOUS.Sweetly familiar like the band was comprised of a bunch of your old high school friends that were not cool enough then but seemed to be surprised that they are considered cool now. It almost seemed like they didn't have a play list and were thinking which song was going to strike their fancy next. These kats were truly interactive with their audience because they invited an audience member to jump up on stage and sing a song with them. An eager young woman volunteered and seemed to become the official cheerleader for Belle&Sebastian--she was so enraptured with just being in front of the NYC audience and on stage with one of her favorite bands. A very great concert indeed.
