Belle And Sebastian share Scotland World Cup anthem, "It Only Takes One Lion"
Belle And Sebastian have released their new track, "It Only Takes One Lion".
"It Only Takes One Lion" was written after Scotland's qualifying win against Denmark. Belle And Sebastian first premiered the tournament anthem at their Royal Albert Hall performance in London back in April as part of the band’s anniversary world tour for their classic first two albums, Tigermilk and If You’re Feeling Sinister. Today, they share the recorded version, produced and co-written with Pete Fergueson.
Speaking about the song, singer Stuart Murdoch says: “It’s a personal song about following the travails of Scotland’s national team for the last 50 years and it came out naturally the day after the game against Denmark. The song tries to encompass the experience of the whole country following Scotland.”
