A Sense of Doubt blog post #1672 - "Nobody's Empire" - Belle and Sebastian - Musical Monday for 1909.16



A Sense of Doubt blog post #1672 - "Nobody's Empire" - Belle and Sebastian - Musical Monday for 1909.16 - THAT ONE THING

It's just time for THAT ONE THING because I am behind on posts, and I am on a plane. My in flight wifi is being wonky, so I cannot embed this video now, as I type, on Monday night, late, but I will finish this post later, when I am home. LATER, turns out to be days later on Thursday.

Belle and Sebastian are one of those bands I have been listening to for years and don't know much about. I knew they were Scottish (because if it's not Scottish; it's crap) and from Glasgow. Beyond those facts, I knew little.

Like, that the band was formed by two Stuarts. This video makes it look like the band is a duo, but it currently consists of six-seven members, depending on whether we're considering the studio or touring rosters.

Kieron Gillen brought this song to my attention.

Nobody's Empire Lying on my bed I was reading French With the light too bright for my senses From this hiding place, life was way too much It was loud and rough round the edges So I faced the wall when an old man called Out of dreams that I would die there But a sight unseen, you were pulling strings And you had a different idea I was like a child, I was light as straw When my father lifted me up there Took me to a place where they checked my body My soul was floating in thin air I clung to the bed, and I clung to the past And I clung to the welcome darkness But at the end of the night There’s a green green light It’s the quiet before the madness There was a girl that sang like the chime of a bell She put out her arm and she touched me when I was in hell Someone sang a song and I sang along Cause I knew the words from my childhood Intellect, ambition they fell away They locked me up for my own good But I didn’t mind cause the silence was kind And you spoke to me in whispers There was the sound of the wind in the cold cold dawn And the quiet hum of business Let me dangle a while in this waiting room I don’t need to go I don’t need to know what your doing Lying on my side you were half awake and your face was tired and crumpled If I had a camera I’d snap you now ‘cause there’s beauty in every stumble We are out of practise we're out of sight On the edge of nobody’s empire If we live by books and we live by hope Does that make us targets for gunfire? Now I look at you you’re a mother of two You’re a quiet revolution Marching with the crowd singing dirty and loud For the people’s emancipation Did I do ok, did I pave the way? Was I strong when you were wanting? I was tied to the yoke with a decent bloke Who was stern but never daunting And he told me to push and he made me feel well And he told me to leave that vision of hell to the dying

- Days ago = 1535 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
