Overview
BELLE & Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch has said that all good ideas come from God.
Speaking to The Guardian, he admitted that he was aware that his comments would "divide opinion".
Murdoch said: "I always just thought, that if you were to have a good idea, that a little sliver of heaven would open up and that a small patch of celestial sunshine would be bestowed!
"Seems a bit of a daft thing to say, but that's the way I see it. I mean, I'm a churchgoer, so I guess I have the necessary baggage that would cause me to believe this!"
He added: "I'm prepared to consider other options. Perhaps it's just the way a human brain is wired. Start with a dash of inherent talent, add desire and a bit of memory.
"Put the artist in a relaxed and receptive state, then sit back and wait. I still have the notion that something spiritual is happening."
