‘God Help The Girl’ is a story set to music, which Stuart Murdoch has been working on intermittently for the last five years, its origin in some songs that were written while Belle and Sebastian were touring ‘Dear Catastrophe Waitress’ in 2004. Stuart explains:

“I was out for a run and I got this tune in my head and it occurred to me that it wasn’t a Belle & Sebastian song. I could hear female voices and strings, I could hear the whole thing, but I just couldn’t envisage myself singing it with the group.â€

Missive from Mars:

The women in this band are beautiful. People like Paris Hilton and that Daisy Of Love skrank are not beautiful.

I feel that way some times but in this case, they're right. These women are beautiful.

Also, here's "Mary's Market" from the "Funny Little Frog" single to add to the album. Murdoch-sung, so 100% Belle & Sebastian-y.

This kind of reasoning will net you a stack of Minnie Driver albums.

I realize Murdoch is the svengali but I like Catherine's voice better than his.
Like Belle & Sebastian a lot but have always thought Murdoch's voice is just adequate for his songwriting skill, not great. Ireton is great, especially on "Musician Please Take Heed" and "Perfection As A Hipster."
