Name that Tune - Belle & Sebastian edition

July 2, 2017 6:27 PM

Heard on Netflix's "Flaked," Season 2, Episode 6, around the 19m10s mark. Lyrics (to my ear, in the episode) below the fold. Can you name that song, that artist, and perhaps that album? Thank you!

Lyrics:

There is an everlasting gladness of the heart
The stranger looks at me and loves me as I am
One day I'll stand up on the river's sacred shore
And feel the sun
I'll feel the sun

There is an everlasting sadness all around
It's bigger than the news from this you cannot run
A woman's magazine, a column in the Mail
Can't help you now
Can't help you now

I love the song of birds, they sing no word of lie

Best answer: It is Belle and Sebastian, "Everlasting Song". This site has the songs from each episode in case any more strike your fancy.

Response by poster: Thank you papayaninja! That's a great site. It gives me the name of the song, but not the album, and none of the links to listen online or buy seem to work. If anyone can suggest where I might get a copy of this tune, I'd still like to hear from you.

Best answer: According to Stuart Murdoch's Twitter account, it's a new track from an upcoming EP, so hopefully available soon.
