This song has three meanings. 1. The idea that people aren't what you believe them to be, and that the hardest part is letting them see who you really are and how they will step away once they see you. 2. The hopes and dreams of children, and how as adults they look back on their choices and realize they didn't quite live up to what they hoped for. The boy represents the adults younger years, their telling him things didn't work out as planned. 3. This is more about romance, and how letting someone in on the truth can hurt their image of you. This follows along with the 1. one but the idea is that its coming from the angle of shattering the marble statue your lover has built of you and showing them the mud snow you really are.
I juuuust heard this song yesterday and and fell in love with it. The part where he sings, "I could never live up to your hallucinations" hits hard because I had to tell someone something just like this and it's tough when they don't get youre trying to let them down gently.
the fact that this song is over four years old is so weird to me. I still remember when I first heard it, someone shared it on facebook and I dediced to give it a try and just found it to be really good. I used to see that person who shared almost every week, but it's been years since I've last seen her now. I barely even use facebook nowadays. Still remember that stuff as if it was yesterday.
Here are the lyrics. Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed I had a dream That trouble always starts in someone's head And dreams are real When you're asleep you may as well be dead I predicate The last 10 years on figuring with me After the war In some strange city on a strangers So you think I'd waste my life on this To be your comfort when you needed me Lay the everlasting friendship Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed We had a time If we could have it back over again I'd be a force Not so polite and not so delicate I'd trot around On velvet socks so I could not be felt I was your fan Waiting for the day when this God will start to Talk to me, don't venerate me now I'm not [?] See my own big smile, my sweet skin Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed If I carry you in my heart Will you ease the pain or make it harder I know you like to let me know you're there If the black clouds come, will you dissapear Is there space in my life for you? Will I see you tomorrow? Or will I ride on? Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
Sin lugar a dudas un grupazo y una fantástica canción, de esos maravillosos grupos y cantantes que apenas se oyen en España, por que, ¡¡¡¡¡¡ESTO ES MUSICA!!!!! Un gustazo para el alma De un buen rollo tremendo. Me encanta, siempre que la oigo.
Pobre menino Pobre menino, nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua imaginação Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou Pobre menino, eu nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua alucinação Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou eu tive um sonho Esse problema sempre começa na cabeça de alguém E os sonhos são reais Quando você está dormindo, você também pode estar morto Eu pretendo Os últimos dez anos em figurar comigo Depois da guerra Em alguma cidade estranha em estranhos Então, você acha que eu desperdiçaria minha vida nisso Para ser seu conforto quando você precisava de mim Coloque a amizade eterna Pobre menino, nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua imaginação Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou Pobre menino, eu nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua alucinação Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou Tivemos um tempo Se pudéssemos recuperá-lo novamente Eu seria uma força Não tão educado e não tão delicado Eu trocaria Em meias de veludo, então não consegui me sentir Eu era seu fã Esperando o dia em que este Deus começará a Fale comigo, não me venere agora Eu não sou uma garland cabeça tem que ser adorado Veja meu coração bater, cheirar minha doce pele Pobre menino, nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua imaginação Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou Pobre menino, eu nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua alucinação Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou Se eu carregá-lo no meu coração Você aliviará a dor ou tornará mais difícil Eu sei que você gostaria de me informar que você está lá E se você é cego, o chamado de Deus, nós desaparecemos Existe espaço na minha vida para você Vejo você amanhã Ou eu vou montar Pobre menino, nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua imaginação Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou Pobre menino, eu nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua alucinação Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou Eu nunca poderia viver (A paixão súbita) (A paixão súbita) (A paixão súbita) (A paixão súbita)
starting at 2:35, the melody of that verse is like If They're Shooting At You. Right? Am I the only one that hears that? Not being critical, just wondered if anyone else heard that.
When I listened to B&S in the 90s, they sounded like something from the 60's-70s. Now they sound very 80s. In 15 years, will they sound like something from the 90s, which is what they were purposely aiming to avoid sounding like when they started?
Baffled how so many B&S fans don't like this song. It may be a departure but they've still managed to get it so right. There hasn't been a better band since the Pixies. Shame such quality comes around so rarely in these days of chronic talent deficit .
Is that an alien at @1:39 turning off the lights in the window at the top left? I have a feeling this video is trying to tell something important but I don't fully get it.

Can we please talk about how even though their sound has changed a bit over the years, they still put out some of the best music to ever exist.
Q
Just a bit for perfect adjustment. And loving it.
This song has three meanings.
1. The idea that people aren't what you believe them to be, and that the hardest part is letting them see who you really are and how they will step away once they see you.
2. The hopes and dreams of children, and how as adults they look back on their choices and realize they didn't quite live up to what they hoped for. The boy represents the adults younger years, their telling him things didn't work out as planned.
3. This is more about romance, and how letting someone in on the truth can hurt their image of you. This follows along with the 1. one but the idea is that its coming from the angle of shattering the marble statue your lover has built of you and showing them the mud snow you really are.
Never thought about the 2nd meaning before.
@@Khan-bq8qc Thanks
I think it's about how one can build up and fantasize about a person without actually getting to know them
When TH-cam does its job well and recommends you good music
Rare, like a well-seasoned panda steak.
This bass line is amazing
B & S For Life. We love you so much from Spain.

Belle and Sebastian just get better and better 😍😍
In love
Glad I found this song
One of the best LIVE Bands, I've has the pleasure, one of at Albert's Hall Manchester
I don't buy into all this 'sell-out' nonsense associated with this track. Just a brilliant new angle from the world's best band.
This song is mindblowing. Magical melodic notes. Euphoric and inspired. Just sounds like they had so much fun making it. Brilliant video concept.
Here are the lyrics.
Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
I had a dream
That trouble always starts in someone's head
And dreams are real
When you're asleep you may as well be dead
I predicate
The last 10 years on figuring with me
After the war
In some strange city on a strangers
So you think I'd waste my life on this
To be your comfort when you needed me
Lay the everlasting friendship
Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
We had a time
If we could have it back over again
I'd be a force
Not so polite and not so delicate
I'd trot around
On velvet socks so I could not be felt
I was your fan
Waiting for the day when this God will start to
Talk to me, don't venerate me now
I'm not [?]
See my own big smile, my sweet skin
Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
If I carry you in my heart
Will you ease the pain or make it harder
I know you like to let me know you're there
If the black clouds come, will you dissapear
Is there space in my life for you?
Will I see you tomorrow?
Or will I ride on?
Poor boy, I could never live up to your imagination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
Poor boy, I could never live up to your hallucination
Poor boy, I was a crush that killed
The missing line could be "I'm not a god, don't have to be adored"
I think the lyric you missed is "I'm not a golden calf to be adored."
the Rear Window homage ❤️
Great bass line.
Sin lugar a dudas un grupazo y una fantástica canción, de esos maravillosos grupos y cantantes que apenas se oyen en España, por que,
¡¡¡¡¡¡ESTO ES MUSICA!!!!!
Un gustazo para el alma
De un buen rollo tremendo.
Me encanta, siempre que la oigo.
Feels like a bit of Metronomy vibe slipped into this, and I love that.
2023 and this still slaps💅🏽💅🏽💅🏽
I wish I could live in that apartment!
Always loved Belle and Sebastian
it's funny in the late 90s-early 2000s B&S had 60s/70s sounds and now 18 years later they sound like the 80s
It really seems intentional sometimes. Sounds like two different (awesome) bands.
Funnily enough, this song was made in 2018
Disco....bass line...
I like this song.
I've been looking for this song from my recording in a store im glad i found it! :))
Pobre menino
Pobre menino, nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua imaginação
Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou
Pobre menino, eu nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua alucinação
Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou
eu tive um sonho
Esse problema sempre começa na cabeça de alguém
E os sonhos são reais
Quando você está dormindo, você também pode estar morto
Eu pretendo
Os últimos dez anos em figurar comigo
Depois da guerra
Em alguma cidade estranha em estranhos
Então, você acha que eu desperdiçaria minha vida nisso
Para ser seu conforto quando você precisava de mim
Coloque a amizade eterna
Pobre menino, nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua imaginação
Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou
Pobre menino, eu nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua alucinação
Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou
Tivemos um tempo
Se pudéssemos recuperá-lo novamente
Eu seria uma força
Não tão educado e não tão delicado
Eu trocaria
Em meias de veludo, então não consegui me sentir
Eu era seu fã
Esperando o dia em que este Deus começará a
Fale comigo, não me venere agora
Eu não sou uma garland cabeça tem que ser adorado
Veja meu coração bater, cheirar minha doce pele
Pobre menino, nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua imaginação
Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou
Pobre menino, eu nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua alucinação
Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou
Se eu carregá-lo no meu coração
Você aliviará a dor ou tornará mais difícil
Eu sei que você gostaria de me informar que você está lá
E se você é cego, o chamado de Deus, nós desaparecemos
Existe espaço na minha vida para você
Vejo você amanhã
Ou eu vou montar
Pobre menino, nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua imaginação
Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou
Pobre menino, eu nunca poderia viver de acordo com sua alucinação
Pobre menino, eu era uma paixão que matou
Eu nunca poderia viver
(A paixão súbita)
(A paixão súbita)
(A paixão súbita)
(A paixão súbita)
What a fun little song.
Esta canción si se puede sentir !
btw, that kid is my little brother
Wow I like that baseline...
2:35 awesome music
It's one of their best songs.
Love how they expanded on this song for their new album
Perfect for sunny spring season. Made my day, thank you!
starting at 2:35, the melody of that verse is like If They're Shooting At You. Right? Am I the only one that hears that? Not being critical, just wondered if anyone else heard that.
Por fin youtube recomienda buena música
Wow my day is made
When I listened to B&S in the 90s, they sounded like something from the 60's-70s. Now they sound very 80s. In 15 years, will they sound like something from the 90s, which is what they were purposely aiming to avoid sounding like when they started?
That reminds me of a flat I viewed in Falkirk a couple of years ago. It stands by itself on the street leading out of Falkirk towards the Wheel
Directed by Wes Anderson?
Juanma Vidal The Grand Glasgow Hotel

Wes A via Avril Paton

What's behind the choice of 4:3 ratio?
It's meant to be watched on a CRT monitor, ideally on a Apple II.

When will we get videos for other songs from this album? Too Many Tears, The Girl Doesn't Get It, and Sweet Dew Lee are all good candidates.
