Belle and Sebastian’s New Happy Song About Sadness May 4, 2015

belle and sebastianI’ve just heard the most joyful song about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

If I’ve learned anything from investigating the lives of the artists I love, it’s that at the root of a joyous gospel chorus, an inspired stand-up comedy act, or a breathtaking saxophone solo I’m likely to find an acquaintance with suffering.
