Seeing Other People

2/9/2021 A little Belle and Sebastian to the morning brain never did anyone harm. Let's go back to 1996 to hear this song. Enjoy!

Song For Sunshine

12/7/2020 A happy little ditty from Belle and Sebastian. This one came out of left field for me and it took me a bit to find the song. "Song for Sunhine" from B & S's 2006 album "The Life Pursuit" Love me some B and S.

I'm a Cuckoo

The song spinning in my brain this morning comes from Scottish indie group Belle and Sebastian.  They have some great songs and today's is no exception.  Here's "I'm a Cuckoo" from their 2004 album DEAR CATASTROPHE WAITRESS.



This song is the second single released from this album.  Lyrically it sort of details a character spinning out of control as he tries to reconcile or connect with a relationship.  Take your pick.

Wow, there are lots of lyrics in this song.

What I like about this song is the way the lyrics just sort of roll, almost unstructured, as if a crazy person is blurting out a bunch of things, trying to make sense of what's bothering him, until he finally confesses "There's something wrong with me.  I'm a cuckoo."

I also love the horns and just the general feel of this song.  Not too bad.  Not too bad indeed.

In unrelated news, I'm reading a 700 page biography about the life of Michael Jackson.  Pretty much can't put the book down.  I'm going to go read it again now.  I'm a cuckoo.
