Belle and Sebastian - My Wandering Days Are Over

[@wsmu]

This is my favourite B&S song, and given their repertoire, that is saying something. I hope that this song speaks to you, listening now, as much as it does to me.

[@pandawandas]

Can we be friends

[@pandawandas]

The song starts off so happy and ends on such a sad note. Such a trip.

[@쉴-h4z]

시작부터 내 귀를 사로 잡은 곡! 내가 가장 사랑하는 곡! 우울하면서도 조금은 흥겨운 가사와 멜로디가 정말 좋다. 한국에서도 아직 이 노래를 좋아하는 사람들이 있다는걸 기억해 주길.

How much I loved them and their first four albums...watched them live in Rimini 2002, one of the best concerts in my life...

[@miss.m10]

Pure poetry, love B&S

[@Slowdived80]

One of favs from this album

[@borednow5838]

Trully poetic, and spellbounding. One of the highlights of a very fine debut. Really looking forward to tonight and tomorrow for that matter.

[@franciscosanchez3491]

Era necesaria una banda como esta en los noventa. Muy necesaria. Menos mal que aparecieron y nos trajeron estas preciosidades.

The circus boy is feeling melancholy 🦄

[@shatzoren1]

That has drawn me onto this song

[@christophebazin4296]

😀il y a des musiques qui ne vous lâchent pas ...

[@debmalyabandyopadhyay2947]

This reminds me so much of a Murakami story.

[@eliseobustos1867]

Debmalya Bandyopadhyay which story?

[@Koshirozation]

six months on the winter's gone ... this is keeping me sane now, or no, this is keeping me together, to hell with sanity! meaning is more important! belle and seb helps the part at 1:36 always gets me - it turns misery into love for life! tututruruutututututututu

[@ieltsteachergerard5957]

We always find our way. It's a beautiful song and so can be your life, too. Be patient! :)

[@jeanfrancoisvigier5856]

Je me souviens de la galère interminable que ça a été pour que l'album soit réédité, après le succès de "if you're feeling sinister"

[@alinesanchezramirezbaruchi2658]

eu te amo. Você é um tigre

[@infiimli2561]

You know my wandering days are over Does that mean that I'm getting boring? You tell me I'm tired of listening to myself now I'm tired of fixing things for Michael and the rest of them You know my bip-bopping days are over I hung my boots up and then retired from the disco floor Now the centre of my so called being is The space between your bed and wardrobe with the louvre doors I said "My celibate days are over" You put me straight on the finer points of my speech rehearsed In the mirror of my steamy bathroom Where the lino tells a sorry story in a monologue Six months on, the winter's gone The disenchanted pony Left the town with the circus boy The circus boy got lonely It's summer, and it's sister song's Been written for the lonely The circus boy is feeling melancholy It's got to be fate that's doing it A spooky witch in a sexy dress has been bugging me With the story of the way it should be With the story of Sebastian and Belle the singer I said "My one man band is over" I hit the drum for the final time and I walked away I sew you in Japanese restaurant You were doing it for business men on the piano, Belle You said it was a living Hell You said that it was Hell

[@legandrydirk]

Riders on storm here from Chris through this same notes but he was young then works though

[@michaelgwebster]

It's gotta be fate that's doing it...

[@michaelgwebster]

Needed a blast of my favourite B&S song and amused to see I commented on this 4 years ago.

[@braulio_cookies]

Escribo esto antes de dar mi ultima critica en taller 2, luego de 3 años espero pasar el curso.

[@braulio_cookies]

Sabes que mis días de vagar se han acabado ¿O significa que me estoy volviendo aburrido? Me dices Ya estoy cansado de escucharme a mí mismo Estoy cansado de arreglar cosas para Michael y todos los demás Sabes que mis días de picos pardos se han acabado Cuelgo mis botas y me retiro de la pista de baile Ahora el centro de mi supuesto ser es El espacio entre tu ccama y armario y las contraventanas Con las puertas del Ya sabes "Mis días de celibato se han acabado" Me pusiste derecho en los puntos más finos de mi discurso ensayado En el espejo de mi baño lleno de vapor Donde el linóleo cuenta una lamentable historia en un monólogo Seis meses después, el invierno se ha ido El pony desilusionado Se fue de la ciudad con el chico del circo El chico del circo se sintió solo Es verano, y la canción de su hermana Ha sido escrita para los solitarios El chico del circo siente melancolía Tiene que ser el destino quien lo esté haciendo Una bruja escalofriante con un vestido sexy me ha estado molestando Con la historia de cómo deberían ser las cosas Con la historia de Sebastian y Belle la cantante Dije "My banda de un solo hombre se ha acabado" Golpeé la batería por última vez y me marché Te vi en un restaurante japonés Lo estabas haciendo para hombres de negocios en el piano, Belle Dijiste que era un infierno viviente Dijiste que fue un infierno Seis meses después, el invierno se ha ido El pony desilusionado Se fue de la ciudad con el chico del circo El chico del circo se sintió solo Es verano, y la canción de su hermana Ha sido escrita para los solitarios El chico del circo siente melancolía Un poco solo... Un poco estúpido...
