"There's Too Much Love" by Belle & Sebastian




So here it is, this is the perfect Fall song; all at once bright, uplifting, dark and devastating. The handclaps and strings make this song the perfect fit on an autumn mixtape, somewhere in between "I Hear a Symphony" and  "No One Does It Like You". Imagery of mirrored balls and frustration float throughout the melody. In what could be an homage to Northern Soul... Stuart Murdoch threatens:

"I feel like dancing on my own
Where no one knows me, and where I
Can cause offence just by the way I look"

I am just going to add that I have seen Stuart Murdoch dance... and it was far from offensive. I am pretty sure that this song is best enjoyed inside of a gigantic pile of red and yellow leaves with a warm cup of coffee.
