Belle & Sebastian - “If She Wants Me” For those who have been following my blog from the beginning, you’ve probably realized that I have a stiffy for Belle & Sebastian. I decided to share that love with Tuneage.

This song, off of their 2003 release, Dear Catastrophe Waitress is one of those songs that just flows perfectly. I like my music how I like my coffee… light and sweet. Ok that was really lame, but you get the idea. Belle & Sebastian have the great ability to keep simple songs sounding interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten sick of listening to this song. Anyway, I think its a great listen for a lazy day or a train ride… or if you’ve been having ‘one of those days’ and need to listen to something that will chill you out without making you fall asleep. Enjoy!

I love these lyrics especially:

I said goodbye to someone that I love
It’s not just me, I tell you it’s the both of us
And it was hard
Like coming off the pills that you take to stay happy
