I was a young man about 21 or 22 going through heart break when I discovered Belle and Sebastian. That was some time ago now. Life didn’t get easier, but I got stronger.
Stuart Murdoch is SO cool; he comes across as humble, witty and a genuinely good guy that you could enjoy a pint with - in addition to being an excellent song writer that connects with SO many folks through his lyrics, and a charismatic man on stage.😁
Ahh the glory and power of music! Obviously none of us know anyone in these comments and yet ..... we do. We all understand one another through our appreciation of this classic. Thank you Belle and Sebastien
I am so happy yet so sad I have found this song. My Grandfather died of a Heart attack when I was four. He and my Dad never got on but we were apparently really close. The only things I remember about him are his scent, a combination of cologne, cigarettes and cumin. His laugh well more of a hearty roar that made me laugh to and when he used to take me to the golf course in his car when he would play this song as we hooned around his village. I could never find the name of this song. He died of a heart attack on one of our trips to the golf course and at the time I (being an autistic kid) didn't really understand quite what that meant. RIP Grandpops
I never thought I would see this. I had nearly forgotten how good Belle and Sebastian are. A beautiful reminder of being young and hedonistic - "Dear Catastrophe Me"
I love how Steve Jackson smiles and laughs in this! Love Sarah's dog.

She was too good for me She worked as a waitress but she had a rich daddy She was slumming it I wrote her a note I said Dear catastrophe waitress [She's got style] She never wrote me back, she got fired that week But that's the way things go, it's bittersweet We got this song at least And it's called The Boy With The Arab Strap 🧡🧡🧡
This song makes me want to skip about, and then drink from noon until noon again. I think my body could have handled it when the song first came out. Now, 'd be snoring by 1PM. Thanks B+S for this glorious song
I always thought the last line, barely audible in the original version, was "sometime bad times can take a while". And I think it really fits the times this live album came out, so I'll keep singing it.
Eu adoro o Belle Sebastian. E aqui em São Paulo encontrei um cara que era louco pelo trabalho do Sebastian também. O nosso eterno kid vinil era o nosso homem ciclopedia. Que hoje mora lá no céu.....
This is just glorious. Was moved to write just as the recorder solo kicked in :) I mean, recorder solo!! only B&S. Absolute one off. Am gonna order myself a vinyl copy of this live masterpiece right now and dream of the day I can see them live again in some city somewhere
So many hights and lows in life but this band always cheers me up. I love this song personally because im HALF ARAB and i feel I AM THE BOY WITH THE ARAB STRAP LOL
I’m in a better place now, I can revisit Belle and Sebastian. Heart ache really can just decimate you huh. Spoil something thats pure like love and the love of music. Thank you for this. Your music means a lot to me.
Really loved this... I remember seeing them at the 40 watt club back in 97' or so... they were touring for if you're feeling sinister... they were fantastic, brilliant, beautiful... but I still clearly remember Stuart apologizing midsong during Mayfly... it was as charming today as it was all those years ago... geez, I love this band... ✌💙
SIN COMENTARIOS, GRACIAS POR EXISTIR, gracias BEELLAN y a ti también SEBASTIÁN. De verdad no soy un pelota,,pero no sería lo mismo SIN VOSOTROS. Ya formáis parte de mi vida. OJALÁ OS CONOCIERA. OS QUIERO

Demons are gonna consume us at humanity's twilight tho
amen
I was exactly the same. If You’re Feeling Sinister is still the best, most heart wrenching, life affirming album I’ve ever heard.
Me too lol
@@comicsguru2574 So true
I'm sure I am not the only person who is grinning from ear to ear. I'm sure that I am not the only person whose favourite this is either.
Teachers! Best theme song ever !

The genre of music we lived through 90s are almost too luxurious and iconic.
Doesn't matter how many times I hear this......its the most perfect song🙌🏼Belle&Sebastian have been one of the most significant acts in my lifetime 👌🏼
😂😂😂😂 get real
I've got my recorder ready...have you?
It is big surprise to me. Today is getting better now.

Great song. But now I feel old, and I miss the 90's
A vida é mais bonita com Belle And Sebastian
Sempre!
claro que si

This band's music has changed my life more than any other!
I needed this today.
I wonder how many times I've listened to this song. Thanks.
Still listening...
I have done this one at Beareoke two or three times. :) And yes, attacks of 'oooh matron' at the reference to an arab strap.
Smiling Stevie is the best Stevie :)
I love how Steve Jackson smiles and laughs in this! Love Sarah's dog.
She was too good for me
She worked as a waitress but she had a rich daddy
She was slumming it
I wrote her a note I said

But that's the way things go, it's bittersweet
We got this song at least
And it's called The Boy With The Arab Strap

Wonderfully joyous song. Season 2 episode 8 of Resident Alien brought me here.
Joyous indeed ....just what I was thinking, as I'm like pure Dad Dancing in my Kitchen, Yea man.Dance, Dance to B & S....Ha!
I was nodding happily along to this, then broke into a massive grin when the recorder bit came on with Sarah and the dog on her shoulder :-D
I always thought the last line, barely audible in the original version, was "sometime bad times can take a while". And I think it really fits the times this live album came out, so I'll keep singing it.
A bit of joy on a horrible day . Made me smile

An old-time classic, for melancholic days. Cheers! 😘
The Arab strap.... that's the one I like to groove on, bring on the recorders! We miss you Belle an Sebastian in this bizarre world.
So many hights and lows in life but this band always cheers me up.
I love this song personally because im HALF ARAB and i feel I AM THE BOY WITH THE ARAB STRAP LOL

I had a ticket for that show but couldn't get off work.
Wish I could see you guys live all the time!!!
I missed this years tour because of a cancellation, this video just hit me at the right time and feels making that disappointment totally ok ‘
Thanks B&S! I was born in the 90s but just discovered your music at 19. Love you guys ever since
This is bloody glorious. Thanks you B&S for 25 years of a beautiful song.

Best thing to come out of the pandemic.
Perfect ! Not sure what an Arab Strap is...... but after hearing this fantastic song I think I definitely want one.

It was a band....the boy with the Arab Strap was in the band...and the girl he's singing about was "laid on her back with him"
masterpiece 🥰
Mí primer disco de B&S, siempre será el mejor ...
