바이올리니스트이자 싱어송라이터이며 인디락씬에서 가장 화려한 스포트라이트를 받았던 젊은피 PATRICK WOLF의 2004년 첫번째 정규앨범. 11살때부터 사운드실험을 했고 14살때는 팝아트 집단에 가입하며 신동소리를 듣던 그가 내논 첫번째 정규앨범은 아주 감성적이고 아름다우며 가끔씩 일렉트로닉한 모습마저 보여주는데 보컬은 또한 매우 성숙한듯 들린다. 일렉트릭한 21세기 집시 포크를 생각하면 되겠는데, 이렇게 정의하는 것 이상의 훌륭한 레코드라는 사실은 들어보면 자연스럽게 알게된다.All Music Guide 평점 : 4/5 Pitchfork Midia 평점 : 8.2/10 .... ....
Walk tall beneath these trees boy you monolith not scarred by fallout. Us wolves were right behind you and lucifer will never find you. oh no!
The moon, let it guide you, when Selene comes, we'll alll know how to fight. Dear Fenrir, my saviour, come and eat the ones, we know who taste the best.
I know just where you've been boy, i've watched you by the stream. And don't be afraid of the dark 'cos the darkness is simply a womb for the lonely. Swallow your pride and walk with us through the trees and hills. Oh yes! your english eyes they are turning red. I I I I oh I I I I.
The moon, let it guide you and i shall find you a home in our heartland, a heart in our homeland. Until the moon is down, until the moon is down.
I wake at dusk to go alone. Without a light to the unknown. I want this night inside of me. I want to feel. I want this speeding. I want that speeding.
My blood beats black tonight! (3,5x)
No need for comfort no need for light. I am hunting for secrets tonight. Eat the sorrow lick the spark. Uh oh my blood beats dark (x2)
And here it comes it comes for me I want to run I want to scream. Get in my car with both eyes closed. Full pedal down And I am speeding! And I am speeding!
My blood beats black tonight!(x4,5)
No need for comfort no need for light. I'm hunting down demons tonight. Eat the terror lick the spark. Uh oh my blood beats dark. (x2)
The day our house collapsed I went down stream. I followed the swans Like i follow my dreams.
oh! i was living on borrowed time in a borrowed house for a borrowed crime. in need of help i came to your door. saw the spike of the railings from the 28/3rd floor. singing "build your castle, stop collecting stones and the river bed shall not be yoru home"
To the lighthouse my friend! I bless your words and education To the lighthouse my friend. just go! just go! To the lighthouse my friend. I am sorry that you came to find
"great great minds against themselves conspire'
now the bombs drop around our feet, do we throw them back or bow and greet them. everyone now, is so terrified of the glowing dark and those orange skies.
sing it: 'build your castle, stop throwing stones cos' those fire birds are coming down on our homes"
To the lighthouse my friends it cannot even be a question To the lighthouse my friends we must go, we must go
London, did you have to take my child away? You buried him under rent and low pay. I've been cycling in circles 'round your empty streets. I've been searching in the pouring rain.
I've been going alone to the cinema. I've been stealing all my food from the electric avenue. Now the pigeons gather 'round my feeding hand. And we talk 'til the evening fades.
I have learnt how it goes. What you wait for never shows. And what you least wanted, holds you down like a stone. just like a stone.
So. Now i feed the birds. Day after day. Only they can hear me pray for. A lighter heart. A lighter load. To be moving. Moving. Moving my way home.
I used to say just follow your heart But my heart always led me in circles and i used to say just follow your dreams but my dreams always led me to murder
so now i don't say nothing at all i just bow my head to the battle a thousand miles above our heads they are weaving giant currents around the sun if you're brave enough you'll just let it happen if youre brave enough you'll just succumb
Dont say no to it
You cant say no to it
just throw yourself in just give yourself in to the pattern
a thousand miles above our heads they are bleeding mighty currents uopn the day if youre brave enough you'll just let it happen if youre brave enough you'll give yourself away
Sundark on darker streets. its violent times for weary feet. carjackers and bullet showers. a yellow sign. too many fools in power but see. i will be gone by morning. my dear friend i lost a fight forget me. i wash my hands in your grey slowing night.
coming down from darkened heights. i taste the thames with my cycle lights by saint paul's by big ben. by god's name, i repent. but see. i will be gone by morning my dear london goodnight forget me, i wash myself in your grey river light
It was seven in the morning when the spark began to give. The bath was spilling over, my self pity spilling with it. So I, I fled the country to start it all again and I found myself in Paris in the cemetery rain.
Dear anne came to me and took me by the arm. Showed me old disasters embedded in the palm. Warned me of a lady with the sun behind her head. With a a granite neck, a singer who can never sing again. but you, my love:
You must come, come to joy, turn your head to the sun its down to you, you can shine, you can shake all the sorrow from your palm.. It's down to you if you dare to come to joy.
What was it i ran from, what burnt away inside? Four hundred schoolboys and a lawyer at my side. Always running with these legs going nowhere. A ghost in the system, and angel on the stairs... But oh! This time....
I shall turn, turn my head to the sun.. They are marching out of me.. One by one. Walking free. Oh! It's going out of.... Oh! I can feel it moving, this time, yeah. I'm really moving. Now, are you ready to come, come to joy, turn your head to the sun it's down to you, you can shine, you can give it up. It's all down to you, hold the key in your hands, it's all in your hands.
I was once a boy. 'Til i cut my penis off. And i grew a hairy skull of stubborn fire.
Then i was a girl. 'Til i sewed my hole up. And i grew a hairy heart of dark desire.
But. There's no answer. Just surrender, send all your barriers into the fire.
And, let no foot, mark your ground. Let no hand, hold you down.
You were once so sad, til' you cut your suffer off. Now you please yourself, and fight your own wars.
And you were once so weak, till you sewed your wounds up. Now you've learnt to sing about sun and shine!
Be your own hero. Be your own saviour. Send all your suffering into the fire.
And let not foot, mark your ground. Let no hand, hold you down. Let no foot, mark your ground. Let no hand, hold you down.
It's all yours, (and ours).
(one, two, three) It's all yours. (Let no foot, mark your ground) It's all yours. (Let no hand, hold you down). Be your own hero. (Let no foot, mark your ground). Be your own saviour. (Let no hand, hold you down) Send all your suffering into the fire.
Let no foot, mark your ground. Let no hand, hold you down. Let no foot, mark your ground. Let no hand, hold you down.
