W♥M041: Belle & Sebastian’s “Your Cover’s Blown”

Subscribe to our show at gcast.com (RSS).

It’s been a while since our last podcast, part of the problem was that it was just taking longer and longer to produce (this is especially true when we have three guests on at a time).

Since I still would like to continue the radio show, I’ve decided I am going to do a series of these breakdown of songs for you. I’ll have to warn you that these upcoming songs are songs that I have listened to a dozen time and know them like the back of my hand. So they might not be your cup of tea.

My first song of choice is “Your Cover’s Blown” by Belle & Sebastian. If you’ve never heard a B&S song, this song sounds nothing like they’ve ever done…. by venturing into the strange world of funk and piecing together three or four different songs into one gigantic epic of a song.

Clocking in at six minutes (I am wrong in thinking it’s eight minutes – it should be eight minutes…), this song takes you on a rollercoaster of a ride… even ending on a false ending.
