sounds like good old B&S. Wish they would have just continued their old style. Also great to hear Tracyanne from Camera Obscura here. Check them out if you like B&S, Stuart even produced their first album.

[@ImInterestedInApathyII]

They never would have grown and made amazing albums like The Life Pursuit, Dear Catastrophe Waitress and A Bit of Previous if they continued their old style.

[@gametupe]

@@ImInterestedInApathyII Life Pursuit and Dear Catastrophe Waitress still count almost as old style for me ^^ great albums

[@ImInterestedInApathyII]

@@gametupe Nah no way! The old style is twee Stuart's soft singing and folkier sensitive music. The Life Pursuit and Dear Catastrophe waitress are full on 70s pop

best track of the album ! love from Bangkok, Thailand

[@Ginkoh83]

Wow, Tracyanne Campbell voice is unbelievable. ❤ I didn't know this singer. Now I'm going to listen to her band Camera Obscura.

[@iakovoskomninos9828]

Brilliant Duet , it reminds me the glorious "Bell Bottomed Tear" by the Beautiful South , Brianna & Dave!. Bravo!! from Greece!!!!, we love you give my regards to Richard we've once met and had a little conversation in a bar in Thessloniki after his dj set!.

[@strangerthanparadise8893]

best track of the album!

[@pavement422]

Agree

[@PaisleyPhotographs]

you cant help but sing along the songs fantastic ..think I have these words right ! Theres somebody that I want you to know She's a sweet sweet friend of mine If she has a fault she will go overboard When theres a man around she flirts like a child Darling take a hint once and for all Stay away from them Cause everything you say Just seems to them so strange They cross the street whenever they see you come When the cynics stare back from the wall Its no fun at all Honey even when you feel flat and broken You got to trust to a happy mind You could put your faith in me If you've got eyes to see And you got arms that wait for something to hold When the cynics stare back from the wall It always feels cold When I saw you in the cafe today Explain it all away to me Everyone we know every girl and boy Each one is a misery So look me straight in the eye and tell me you're alright Cause I want to know the truth Nothing else will do Nothing else will do If you keep making the same mistakes over You're like a puppy with a broken leg Hey and if it goes okay, you've got me to blame For being so cynical and never the boy You used to laugh at till you cried on your bed At all the stupid things I said At all the stupid things I said When I saw you in the cafe today Explain it all away to me Everyone we know every girl and boy Each one is a misery So look me straight in the eye And tell me you're alright 'Cause I want to know the truth Nothing else will do When the cynics stare back from the wall I know its time to change I was so confused by the promises And the hardest thing is to walk Towards the things you need When the things you want Are like vision for the blind And I know you don't believe in a single thing That you can't touch smell or feel Hey it's been a week of woe Which way you gonna go When your desire has but all run aground Cause when the cynics stare back from the wall You'd better not fall (x4)

Very nostalgic. Sounds like it was taken straight from the Write About Love album.

[@markjamie4002]

Apparently it's from sometime around 1994 originally.

[@DoctorMeatDic]

Tracyanne's voice makes me emotional, every time. I'm 47 years old and my eyes were teary on the train home today. Her voice just moves me so much, always has. It's a beautiful timeless song. Belle and Sebastian are on such a creative streak at the moment, I love the last two albums so much.

[@raymondleung7257]

Welcome back with this great song in 2023

[@Steviedan-ts5pz]

This is brilliant ☺

[@JULIAN-w5f]

Pure sweetness. Magnificent.

[@Eeli2008]

Love both their old style and utter shameless synthpop song like I don’t know what you see in me. Very interesting this album is.

[@piggledypop]

That's such a gorgeous song 🌹
