Belle and Sebastian- 'Unnecessary Drama' (Official Music Video)

Lyrics:
I read your letter from before
You’ve been having so much fun
Is it possible you’re just telling me
To draw me in?
There’s an array of douchebags lining up
To play their stupid parts
And did you ever pause
Before you give your love away?

This is my life
This is my so-called life
This is my life
This is my only life

And when you came to me that summer
You were just a shell
You were holding close to mother
She was ashen with the strain
And there was miles to go yet
Miles to build that
Sister loving bond
And then I figured that the music
Set your soul ablaze

And it’s probably not suprising
That you’re burning through the days
And if I had a second encore
I would probably do the same
And if the intimacy ever stops
I’ll miss your stories
Miss your letters
Every awkward fumble should be framed

Strange days
Poison characters
My particular haze
Please send...

Enjoy the fervour of your love life
Cause it doesn’t last
And with a suddenness that is cruel
Everything can go to hell
But then you find a new path
Leave the old path
Leave the games behind
And on a morning climb you see the grime
And feel amazed

I know you felt you gave your best
But it was never going to do
There’s always going to be a younger
Hungry idol coming through
I know it wasn’t thrilling
Just like living
You and me could talk like kissing
Every conversation was divine

This is my life
This is my so-called life
This is my life
This is my only life

One of the best eFootball 2023 songs!!! the harmonica is crazy!!!

[scottinglis]

That harmonica is insane! What a song.

[lasciamidasolo]

they were my go-to band during my teenage years. now i'm at that point of my life where i'm worrying about graduation, taxes, mortgage, marriage, etc. and yet their music still resonates. thanks for being my forever home, b&s.

[trashAndNoStar]

The world is falling apart, but.... new B&S!!!

[liotommy]

It´s funny when you know a band for ages and then out of nothing they come up with a song that blows you like nothing they´ve ever done before. This is one of those songs. Brilliant.

[patrickking]

My silly brain cannot stop mashing this up in realtime with The Smiths "Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before"... Absolutely love it xx

[siren]

love B&S, but the last record of theirs that I really got into was The Life Pursuit, so it's been awhile. But I love this new song! It has a very power pop, New Pornographers (another great band) sound. If the other songs on the new record sound this good, I'll be thrilled. And Stuart Murdoch's eye make-up is !

[jamesharris]

Quite the comeback. Strong 'Hand in Glove' vibes

[lesabeaty]

This made my day!! Elements of classic B&S, with some fresh and new sounds. Love the harmonica!

[tebanpes]

Vine aquí por Efootball 23, es buenísima la canción ❤️

[nnaru_]

wake up babe, Belle and Sebastian just dropped a new single

[clayongunzelle]

Listening to this song on repeat on my way home from work.... This is my so called life😅😅

[Av.KNOWN]

Best efootball song ever, that harmonica is crazy

[Wimpy]

I would not have heard of this great group if I had not played esports 2023 football.

[ariellekwong]

First Regina Spektor drops a single and announces her album and now Belle and Seb do the same? 2022 is already getting better for me omg :')

[addaddy]

Dance pop masterpiece. Always loved this band but this is the shiniest, bounciest, most irresistible track ever. Saw them live at the Riviera in Chicago back in May. My feet were still moving a week later.

[richardcrampton]

B&S does it again. Best band on the planet!

[KellyGreenYall]

Terrific rockin' song. And a hook that just won't leave my head. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ And the video is tops.

[dennisawalsh]

That harmonica and backing vocals are the bollocks :)

[taranskotv]

Exactly what I wanted from B&S. Such a nostalgic sound. So happy to experience new music from them again.
