THE REVIEW

And no, time cannot go back.

It's not possible for Belle & Sebastian.

Just as it's not possible for my daughter to be two years old again, and to get excited in front of a lizard that runs frightened in the middle of a sunlit field.

Or to be afraid of a solar eclipse.

For me to enjoy myself again, on her brand-new wings of childhood, still far from flying away, with her hugging me to dance "My Wandering Days Are Over".

Or to watch her again, peacefully sleeping one afternoon, in a mountain hotel, to the sound of "Fox in the Snow".

Today, however, I was here listening for the first time, starting from the end, to this new album by Stuart Murdoch & Co, nothing special, I must say.

But suddenly my daughter came and asked me:

"Dad, I don't know why it came to my mind.

But do you remember that lizard in the field, many years ago?".
