Belle and Sebastian have been making us dance with whimsy, for more than two decades. Their indie-pop is etched on our hearts, and their song are beautiful vignettes of the every day. Lead singer and main songwriter Stuart Murdoch has always had a way with words, and his faith has played a big part in his writing as well. More recently, he’s been taking an interest in Buddhism and it is this and the different lens that Belle & Sebastian approached their latest recordings, that inspired the theme I gave him for his Take 5. Big songs, that told small, intimate stories seemed to dominate Stuart’s approach. Along the way, we peeled back the layers of his own life, and heard him reflect on a lifetime of music making that still brings wonderful stories to our ears.
