Belle and Sebastian - Winter WooskieSongwritten by the Other Stuart, i.e. Stuart David, who eventually left B&S to pursue his band Looper and work on writing novels (Nalda Said and Peacock Manifesto). Winter Wooskie is interesting for having a narrative that's like a slightly modified version of "Fox in the Snow" with instead of an actual fox in the snow, it's a girl wandering around in a blizzard, apparently very cold, observed by our narrator (who is inside, presumably close to a roaring fire), a possible creeper extraordinaire. This is a very good song for the ambiguities that SD puts in the lyrics here--because you can choose to interpret the story as a guy seeing a girl wave at him through the window of a cafe or diner, etc. (Did she wave to me?/Maybe I'm in love/love love/love love") and experiencing one of those intense Bernstein/Girl in the White Dress occurrences. OR is it possible that this guy then goes to that cafe or diner everyday and then ends up filming this chick who regularly has to walk by the cafe or diner on her way to her job (I made a film/I made it through the window/but who's that star I cast?...All wrapped up/in a winter wardrobe/she hurries by so fast [notice here that she's not waving any more])? It's hard to say. But this song is so goddamn good.[Buy the Legal Man single]
