The first minute of this track I didn’t even recognize for the longest time, but then when Stuart Murdoch comes in with what I feel like is him exasperated at this dilemma of his: If you find yourself caught in love / Say a prayer to the man above / Thank him for every day you pass / You should thank him for saving your sorry ass. It’s such a great little complication, paradox. I really enjoy the detail in the song though, the strings, the tight, compact bass plunks, and all the Sesame Street background vocals that I objected to after “Boy with the Arab Strap.” This album — “Dear Catastrophe Waitress” marked the resurrection of my love for Belle & Sebastian. And this is what we shall listen to this week. What’s your favorite B&S album?
