Belle and Sebastian - Wrapped Up In Books 

One of the first songs I discovered from Belle and Sebastian. I knew instantly: I had found a better place.

Such a perfect pop song, reminds me of those great songs from the mid 60's. Beautiful. You can listen to this song all day and focus on what each instrument including vocals, and find something new every time. Brilliant.

Great song and vid. Reminds me of my student days when the world still had possibilities.

This album is probably one of the greatest albums of the new 21st century.

Wish I could write just ONE SONG this good. I could die happy, singing my one song, so good that others around me and my deathbed, would sing it too, all of us with smiles on our faces. Seriously, this is one great tune. Mr. Murdoch has the gift like no one else these days. John and Paul had it; so did Paul Simon, Joni, Cole Porter, a few others.

Best band of the last 20 years. Sublime, cerebral, gorgeous melodies and a nice, unassuming bunch of chaps. What with Teenage Fanclub too, Scotland can give itself a hearty pat on the back.

CALEDONIAN BOOKS!...2 blocks far from where i live.I love that bookshop.

Some of the books showed on this wonderful video: Sweetie says I never met a man i didn't lick by Mark Welsh I did it my way by Bud Grand The handbook of Brittish Birds The hipster cafe trade journal 2004 Whatever turns you,Jack on by Alan Hackney Virginities by Robert Muller The secret word is Groucho by Groucho Marx

Belle and Sebastian is so good it makes my fingers tingle :O

Honest, kind, joyful, innocent. Touches my heart.

Short haired girl is so beautiful.

I miss that book shop! “Voltaire and Rousseau”. Used to hunt for cheap antique books whenever I went to Tchai Ovna tearooms next door while a poor student in Glasgow. Unbelievably, it is still there 20 years on and still owned by the same gentleman who doesn’t seem to age!

Wonderful, happy song ( rings tones of " in the country " cliff and shadows. ). You cant beat gorgeous girls who loves books.

Those two girls...😍😍

i love the production on this album. hearing the occasional scrape of the guitar strings on the frets, for example, makes me hear the music as more organic than it might sound at first.

It was pretty bright, up on the rainbow bridge tonight I could see into your window although you're far away You were racing in a car Beside a boy, you just don't know if he is up for What you have in mind If he is up for what you have in mind Change is on the cards, but this time it will be hard But I never want to leave you We've never had a fight You should never split a pole You should never split at all I wish I had two paths that I could follow I'd write the ending without any sorrow I will say a prayer, just while you are sitting there I will wrap my hands around you I know it will be fine We've got a fantasy affair We didn't get wet, we didn't dare Our aspirations, are wrapped up in books Our inclinations are hidden in looks Summer's hastening on I'm trying to get a feeling from the city But I've been unfaithful I've been travelling abroad We've got a fantasy affair We didn't get wet, we didn't dare Our aspirations, are wrapped up in books Our inclinations are hidden in looks

Belle and sebastian is culture💚💛

Pure sweet pop happiness.

this song makes me want to wander around a library all day.

Favorite.Song.Ever.

Qué jovencitos que estaban aquí!!! Y la canción un TEMAZO, y la parte del final que canta Stevie él solito una maravilla!!! Mi miembro favorito de Belle and Sebastian es Stuart Murdoch, pero Sarah y Stevie lo hacen también genial. Me encantaría que en un futuro álbum hubiese una canción en la que cantasen los tres cada uno una estrofa o una parte solos, sería MARAVILLOSO 😊😊

belle and sebastian are the best.

Very accomplished musicians who produce consistently good music. I salute you B & S!

Belle and Sebastian es esa banda que me da tranquilidad y me ayuda a ver la vida más llevadera.

Great tune and I love this band

minha música preferida do Belle and Sebastian

⭐️ Superb Songwriters 🌙

Definitely not B&S' best track, but you have to love this perfect capture of the romance of small bookstores. This song smells like old bound paper!

Belle and Sebastian é um suspiro da melodia em tempos dificies para música no mundo... tempos esses que, dia após dia só vemos a música morrer...

''In the Country'' by Cliff & The Shadows.

Consummate musicians and song-writers. And I get to see them in Montana in August! Highlight of the summer!

his voice makes me melt

Belle and Sebastian is a Oasis in the pain desert of bad bands nowadays. Rarely we find something like them. 👏👏👏😍😍😍

AMO ESSA MÚSICA. ❤❤❤

Bookworms Rejoice! this is your anthem! myself included...

I can't get over this song....beautiful =D

gorgeous girls in this!

1m views. Should be 1b ! Brilliant modest band. Perfect subtle harmonies. Great goofy indie video with beautiful people 🥰

Wow; I adore this song.

ICONIC

Out in the country

O que eu faço com essa música que música que exprime tudo de mais lindo que há?!

such an incredible song.

Does anyone know who the girl with long hair is?

love books

who's gonna see them too in the Corona Capital Music Fest? Can't wait!!!!

that wink stole my heart

This is a nice song, it's awesome.

The girl with the short black hair - one of the prettiest I've ever seen. I love Stuart I do I do.

Best track on the whole album :D

Good sound

That guitar …so rad!

i love this song!!!!

you know you love it

Your gonna find me out in the country….! Cliff would be proud.

Those harmonies...

love this!

Hermoso!

lOVE

@Rorshach1004 thats beautifully put, in sad words..

absol love it

@andr123w Thanks! Yea it's looking like an Airline, couldn't find the exact model but you're right. They came THIS close to showing the headstock, it's like they were teasing us.lol

Many

that is a fabulous book!

I believe something Eastwood/Supro-ish. The other one is a Rickenbacker. I've been looking around and the closest thing I found looked like a 59 Town & Country but it has a slightly different button arrangement.

what's more important in life? finding Belle & Sebastian or learning how to google?

I love books, and this video is a celebration of books, both hardback and paperback. The one question I would ask is: Are the books presented to the camera real books?

They said smart girls slay and this is why i love belle and sebastian

Just heard this on the radio..it s a wonder they didn t face a lawsuit from Cliff Richard tbh

pop perfection

She's gorgeous...reminds me of Margaret Mary

Mr Wonderful agenda brought me here! Nice recommendation

yeah, 2:06 is the best bit! such a great band too, i might add

@Rorshach1004 oh gosh...I feel the same way too...takes me back to my O and A Level days...senior high more appropriately. :D

Reminds me a bit of Hazy Jane II by Nick Drake.

Like 'em reminds me of us

Opinion: one of the sexiest songs ever.

@cheesebagel We should take those days back. Lets throw away the every day concerns and dive back into our books.

@77stevek absolutely not! but I it just reminds me of the circumstances surrounding the exams, the over all mood, etc.

farfisa organ and twelve string electric = pop bliss.

@dirkbogarde44: If using I-IV-I or II-VII-I is considered "chord pilfering", then a lot of bands would be called thieves. But these are pretty common chord progressions.

I’ve been to the rainbow bridge he sings of

the standout track from Dear Catastrophe Waitress IMO

Let's be honest - a relatively shoddy video (bar the very VERY attractive short dark haired girl) but one of the most beautiful songs ever written and that's what counts.

are they still together|? i havent heard this track for an age, such a great band

Sounds very like 'In the Country' by The Farmer's Boys.

@andr123w Sweet, thanks for the suggestion, buddy. I appreciate it.

Chorus is ''The Farmers Boys - In the Country''

The beatles "if i Fell" = this inspiration?

@eggucun Im not sure but I think its an Eastwood guitar

What's name of a girl with short hair?

At about 1:20 a bit of "What I Did For Love"?!

Anyone else about to go get all the books in this to read?

What happened to the sounds that left you lying on the floor Laughing, crying, jumping, and singing

100th rating :) 5 stars, obviously.

mine too

Oh good call.

...and this one, even if it does resemble Cliff Richard & The Shadows - In The Country a bit

cool :)

Donovan is a non expressed influence. Indeed.
