Patrick Wolf

Post Reply New Topic

Any fans of the sickeningly talented Patrick Wolf here? He saved my life, in the epiphany-causing sort of way. :) Uhm.. short topic starter I know, but it's late and I really can't think of anything more to say, so here's a couple of links to his music and a picture of him aaand the lyrics to my favourite of his songs. :D Thanks for reading. I can't really pin a genre on him, if pushed I'd have to go with folktronica, but don't let the folk part put you off. Or the electronica part, actually. Maybe I'm just musically uneducated, but he seems to be a genre of his own.

The Magic Position
Wind in the Wires



Teignmouth

On the night train
From the city to the south
I saw spirits
Crawl across the river mouth
In skewed ascension
With no destination
Like this lone bachelor in me
This constant yearning
For great love and learning
For the wind to carry me free

So when the birds fly south
I'll reach up and hold their tails
Pull up and out of here
And bridle the autumn gales
Down to the burning cliffs
To the unrelenting roll
To marry the untold blisses
And anchor this lost soul

From my window
I saw two birds lost at sea
I caught our reflection
In that silent tragedy
But with hope prevailing
I draw galleons sailing
In full sail billowing free

So when the birds fly south
We'll reach up and hold their tails
Pull up and out of here
And bridle the autumn gales
I give you my hand
The fingers unfold
To have and forever hold
To marry the untold blisses
And anchor this lost soul

OHMYFUCKINGGOD!! !!
bit of a fangirl here!
he is pretty much amazing.. right!

yeah...whatever...

I think "The Bachelor" is a pretty amazing album. as well as Lycantrophy but I am not obsessed with him. I actually think he has some songs that are pure crap.

'sickeningly talented' is really the way to describe him, never stops amazing me...
