Belle and Sebastian - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@singingbear]

Saw them live in France. They are so good and so humble. Don’t know any other Band sounding like that. And their music is wonderful

[@blacksunfish]

It's like gathering with old friends. I've been with Belle & Sebastian since the beginning. My love has never waned.

[@tent7014]

The Sound engineer at KEXP is a GOD !

Never truer words wrote 👀👌😉

[@richardsagredo2421]

Thanks bro!!

[@emf6621]

I thought "Interview" was a B&S song I'd never come across, haha

[@sarrotamawara]

@@emf6621 😂😅

[@emersontomasini9495]

Thank you very much. 🙂

[@SiretEster]

I was *obssesed* with B&S in my teens, havent listened in years, got chills hearing Stuart's voice again, gotta go back to my dusty cd's!

[@donaldwesterhazy9333]

If you are missing Girls In Peacetime Want to Dance make sure you get it. So good.

[@ahenshawful]

Do yourself a favour, and go see them when you get the chance

[@SamsaLilaTheHobo]

Check out this latest album and the rest of the 21st century release stack I think you'll be pleasantly surprised how great they matured!

[@MIDIPipe]

Same Here Sis!

[@raffrayronan6246]

Still obsessed

Genius Band of Legendary status and speaking of 'legendary', nominating Sheryl Waters for the 'Rock and Roll Hall of Fame'. Who's with me?

[@timelapsedad]

Tigermilk was the start of something indeed..❤

[@piggystardust]

B&S... Never disappointing 💖

[@psicologoluizcezar]

KEXP too

[@piggystardust]

@@psicologoluizcezar That's right... have a nice weekend.

[@gfrizzleshizzlemanizzle]

B&D... Never disappointing 😈

[@carlosirineu]

The new album is Belle and Sebastian at its best. Unnecessary Drama live is so jawbreaking, Stephen and his harmonica are the perfect couple

[@Driver8takeabreak]

Shows the quality of B&S that that opening song is a random B side off a single and it still THAT good.

[@user-ry8gq2bx4c]

またライブ行きたい！！

[@crookedrain771]

This makes me so happy. I was so privileged to be able to grow up listening to these guys..

[@krtecek-who-tries]

B&S are of the greatest musical loves of my life! You never came to Ukraine, and I didn't get to hear Belle and Sebastian in Berlin this January due to the cancelled tour. Fingers crossed for future tours! Still, such a treat, to watch and listen to them play live. 💜

[@Ididntaskforahandleyoutube]

They are mine too. They are my musical world. Love from Seattle where this was recorded. Cheers

[@RyanMasters831]

Just saw them at Fox Theater in Oakland. In my top 25 bands of all time. Arguably the best songwriters of their generation. Love.

[@NesconProductions]

Credit KEXP & Cheryl Waters for roping in constantly great music & engineers for the great sound quality 😘! Saw B&S decades ago in NYC & great to see they've aged like wine! Thanks for this..

[@mtnrunner2]

This is no ordinary band. They are great!

[@jonathansmith5495]

Sarah Martin - coolest pop star in a cardy!

[@kevindelasoie1503]

That's incredible how your music can spread happiness, love you Belle and Sebastian 💙

[@realessence]

I had the pleasure of seeing them live twice in my life. Good times :)

[@chrisparker8539]

I saw them once at the Wiltern about 17 or 18 years ago. My friend and I got to meet Stewart outside while we were waiting to get in. We just happened to be somewhere near a side door that Stewart came out of to have a cigarette.

[@shannontalksmusic]

An absolute delight as always! B&S are one of my favorite bands for almost 20 years. Great blend of tracks old and new, always funny in between song chat... I watched with my newborn daughter. Can't wait to share music with her. Thanks KEXP and Belles! 👍

[@ahenshawful]

Nothing like a bit of Belle & Sebastian on a work day, I am loving this!

[@annodomini1618]

I so love this band. I hope i get to see them live someday, before i die.

[@rodo6795]

I hope the same too!

[@jeancortino430]

FABULOUS HISTORIC MOMENT OF MUSIC

[@tjorloski1961]

give that man on harmonica a raise for christ sake

[@martinperon4576]

I only knew them by name without having heard any of their music, it's really good!

[@MIDIPipe]

Welcome to the. 2000's Bro!

[@djmon1987]

So good to hear String Bean Jean. Stuart couldn’t write a bad song during that era.

[@davidboudreau532]

String Bean Jean!! Amazing start. One of my favs

[@hashburystumble8808]

String Bean Jean will always be my favourite Belle & Sebastian song.

[@YY-ei1gm]

I was obsessed with them for a decade: imagine my shock when I learned it wasn’t a band with a tiny short haired girl and a soft handed man: took me a while to come back to them.

[@DaveMcIroy]

Saw them live in Berlin in 2018 and it was so charming. At the end they brought up some people from the audience to dance on stage (hell, not me). Also watch the movie "God help the girl".

[@ikiwies0]

my favorite band

[@mldkenny]

Timeless, music to lift the spirit.

[@scoffcruddle]

Awesome as ever! Hope against hope they might bring the tour to NZ, haven't seen them live in such a long time. Shame they didn't do Talk To Me, Talk To Me, definitely my favourite off the new album. Which is a real return to form

[@romanjohncarlos2368]

A very precious band!

[@MsDiggy55]

With so much crap going down, I needed this today-thank you, KEXP! I❤️B & S❣️🥰

[@wallybingbang4350]

They're all enjoying themselves. The drummer is well into it. Brilliant!! 🎸 🎼 ❤

[@sidethinfinity]

Just listening, and I was afraid Cheryl wouldn't be hosting. Very happy to see the opposite; she's the best.

[@andrewcounts7136]

Class Band...👌

[@Carefaceeeee]

Fantastic band and group of people.

[@jeanhebert6476]

so good.

[@wintersolstice2887]

sounds so sweet! the intro of ‘if they’re shooting at you’ with the flute and trumpet reminded me of ‘the go! team’ ❤

[@mikewilliams7519]

Ohhhh what a treat this is !!

[@ArtifexMinecraft]

Incredible harmonica playing.

[@tywebb6330]

Seeing them in Edinburgh in November for ma 50th, seen em aboot 5 times b4 (mind them fae Renfrew & Erskine 😉) but this will be the wee mans first gig 💚

[@malcolmgalloway175]

Wow, great preformance! Good to see Belle and Sebastian - been a big fan since hearing them in the Emerica this is skateboarding video when I was younger. So talented.

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

Mornington crescent, what a tune. Wish they played that

[@metaldetectorists76]

Murdoch and the gang have been a long time coming on the mighty KEXP with our ChezzaX

[@northmann1971]

Love them so much ❤️

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

I don't know if I've ever watched B&S perform live. They sound amazing.

[@brandonmcmahan2859]

Saw them live for the first time about a month ago, and it was the best live show I’ve ever been to. So amazing, and relying completely on their own talent, charisma, and music. No need for crazy stage effects, etc. just incredible.

[@ahenshawful]

Do yourself a favour, and go see them when you get the chance

[@dkarras]

Saw them @ the Orpheum theatre Vancouver on Sept 13, 2001. That was a special night.

[@seanmurphy7733]

Always great live! Definitely see them if you have the chance.

[@Pining_for_the_fjords]

I've seen them twice in Cambridge.

[@bernarda3856]

I saw them last Saturday at the Roadrunner in Boston. Even though I have been a fan since the beginning it was my first time seeing them. It was so incredible

[@jeremywhitcomb9107]

I was at the Boston show. Stellar. Legends. Wish they had visited KEXP 3 times.

[@monkeypawism]

Love love love B&S. Glad they are mixing it up.

[@victorarcanjo3322]

Nem acredito que vou ver vocês aqui em São Paulo dia 09/dez Meu Deus! Desde meus 10 anos eu amo vocês. ------------------------------------- I can even belive i going to see they here at São Paulo on dec/09 OMG. Love them since I was 10. Love you guys.

[@andrewhorton5101]

String bean Jean is one of the greatest songs of all time

Wonderful! Can't wait to see you all in Birmingham UK in November.

[@joaofreire3478]

Please, come to Brazil (once more)

[@donaldwesterhazy9333]

Thanks B&S and KEXP.

[@weissmatt]

Mastering that kind of big band. 👌🏼Awesome job as always. First time seeing them live too. 🥰

[@wildcolonialman]

Brilliant.

[@jonnypickett2546]

Such a great sound and feel.. Their music makes me smile inside :0)

[@phantomthread4385]

Remember watching their Glastonbury Boy with the Arab Strap where he invited people up. Exhilarating! And the song for Ukraine makes me cry. Love love love them forever. Xxx

[@stec7515]

Always wondered whether Americans know what they are actually singing about - lecky bills, working in Debenhams etc. The lyrics are so esoterically British, I wonder if it all sounds a little bit odd.

[@jessie778899]

I wonder that too

[@CyberNancy]

Bill Leckie’s or Lucky Bills?

[@eagercolin1]

It took me 18 years to figure out what the lecky bill was.

[@randolphshafferknacker6819]

Sounding a little bit odd is very refreshing. We’re all a little bit odd. That is why we are lovely

[@ScottyAltizer]

It does sound odd. Sounds like they’re singing about something. So many American…artists?…sing about nothing. I guess if you’re 25 and inexperienced and have no life experience and have nothing to say…then…you have nothing to say.

[@martinfranco]

❤

[@Driver8takeabreak]

Great mix. Often engineers don't get the background vocals on B&S high enough.

[@chandrashekhermishra5847]

I read your letter from before You've been having so much fun And is it possible you're just telling me To draw me in? There's an array of douchebags lining up To play their stupid parts And did you ever pause Before you gave your love away? This is my life This is my so-called life This is my life This is my only life And when you came to me that summer You were just a shell You were holding close to mother She was ashen with the strain And there was miles to go yet Miles to build that Sister loving bond And then I figured that the music Set your soul ablaze And it's probably not surprising That you're burning through the days (This is my life) But if I had a second encore I would probably do the same (This is my life) And if the intimacy ever stops (This is my so-called life) I'll miss your stories Miss your letters (This is my life) Every awkward fumble should be framed (This is my only life) Strange days Poison characters My particular haze Please send Enjoy the fervor of your love life 'Cause it doesn't last And with a suddenness that is cruel Everything can go to hell But then you find a new path Leave the old path Leave the games behind And on a morning climb you see the grime And feel amazed I know you felt you gave your best But it was never going to do There's always going to be a younger Hungry idol coming through I know it wasn't thrilling Just like living You and me could talk like kissing Every conversation was divine This is my life This is my so-called life This is my life This is my only life This is my life This is my so-called life This is my life This is my only life This is my life This is my so-called life This is my life This is my only life This is my life This is my so-called life This is my life This is my only life
