[ChaoticxShadows]

this song is amazing

[some1elsenotyou]

batchelorette for ever!

[123got180degrees]

This is the first time i've got the second page on youtube of Patrick Wolf , his songs are too addictive they're all on repeat.

[some1elsenotyou]

i am never getting married

this is my theme song.

[MykeVStardust]

song of my life.

[fagalaff]

These comments are ridiculous!! Everybody knows it's Krusty the Clown!

[cooperdiem]

it's tilda swinton fools

[KsAnNa]

The background vocals are raspy. I like it. Why is everyone complaining?!

[firebreeze]

@KsAnNa My fucking sentiments exactly! It's part of what makes this song so brilliant.

[zowiexGOREgous]

its strangely different and beautiful.

[musicmadcharlie12345]

ok im getting confussed.. would somebody care to comment on this and explain to me what all the previous comments are about... would be doing me a ma HOOvise favour.... thanks :) <3

[littlechelseadagger]

the live version of this with florence welch is possibly the most awesome thing i have heard for ages, properly amazing.

[IoEstasCedonta]

@littlechelseadagger Florence Welch? Oh, my god, that's awesome.

[withinhouyhnhnm]

i've got a serious question to ask:

is the other voice really Eliza Carthy? cuz i've heard her sing elsewhere and it never sounded THAT deep.

did she smoke an assload of cigarettes before she sang this song?

[redneckboho]

Via wiki: Carthy's 2008 tour was cancelled in November, as a cyst on her throat made singing inconsistent and painful. Because of her pregnancy, doctors are delaying treatment until spring 2008

[SonnyIsGhetto]

@withinhouyhnhnm LMAO THATS WHAT I THOUGHT HOLY HELL

[Rowwaaaaan]

he doesnt sound like himself in this song :/ i like all his songs from the magic position becuase you can tell its him, but this is still good

[dali28]

@Rowwaaaaan You really need to listen to the first 2 albums if you haven't... this is

totally him (:

cheers!

[StrawberryGashed]

This is a sweet-ass song...I'm really impressed by the album itself, too.

[HoodedSword]

i learnt a lot about British and US history by reading those comments. jeez

[gaberlunzie]

amazing song.

[xtcongo]

I certainly do have shit in my ears..

It's called the Bachelor by Patrick Wolf

[cr4ckb4by]

You've got far too big of a bias to truly judge this, but you are welcome to your opinion.

[LilyLullabyz]

...I cannot believe that isn't a guy singing.

[punkw1tch]

The voice that opens it is a guy... The other voice is Eliza Carthy... A folk musician...

[brorownie]

no, it's not.

[xtcongo]

Yes it is, Would you like me to explain why it's very bad music?

[brorownie]

i didn't say that? i love his music :)

[crownrainbow]

Patrick wolf all gays loves you !! <3 you're so gorgeous!

[ahahPeace]

una de las mejores canciones del disco :)

[jegcreations]

Hey so everyone did finally settle on the fact that it's Eliza Carthy, right?! Cuz it is. lol

Apparently her voice got all crazy and awesome like that because of her pregnancy. Makes me wonder if Tom Waits hasn't been pregnant through his entire career.

[DeepestSleep]

Just came to me conclusions a few minutes ago...and here's the first classification I've had since... I kept thinking there's no way that voice is coming out of Tilda Swinton! I was more apt to believing they somehow got John Lennon back in the studio!

[martino00001]

@jegcreations

she can't take some medicine to cure her voice because she is pregnant..that the reason 'cause she got this voice. al least that's what I've heard

[bremen93]

@jegcreations I heard that a misprint inside the lyric book credited the back-ground vocals to Eliza Carthy. It's apparently Alec Empire. Carthy does, however, play violin in this song.

[OdSlatromEkil]

Mmmh, I love the contrast between their voices. It fits the song extremly well.

[radstar7]

man, i want guitar tabs of this! anyone got any ideas where i could find them? i guess it's too recent to find them in most tab websites...

[GenieHands]

nooo... i was wrong :L

[Druddog]

It's Tilda Swinton

[GenieHands]

she plays the white witch in lion witch and the wardrobe i think :/

[alysiabfk]

my favorite track on this album.

[sourmelongirl]

or woman? at about 1:32

[LikkleLuie]

Wikipedia says it's Eliza Carthy...

Don't ask me who that is though! :)

[sourmelongirl]

cool thanks :D

[sourmelongirl]

does anyone know who the other guy on this track is?

[sourmelongirl]

it's Eliza Carthy :)

[ThomasLeLoup]

What are you talking about british people being far more advanced than Americans? American's don't even have a set defined culture, it's a melting pot, and it really could only be defined if you were to break everyone up into a million little bits and measured whatever it is that you think determines "advanced" behavior. Get off the high horse of your false sense of nationalistic pride. It's a country not a way of life.

[sixflags1]

The album's not even released till June (just look at any of his sites, except for his bandstock friends) anywhere in the world, so, please calm down. the cd's awesome, (what we can hear from it, so far ) we all love it and can't wait for it....period.

[kidamusique]

The album is not out in the States yet.

And for people who want the album, Google is your friend.

The artist and album name, with your file sharing website of choice afterwards is normally enough.

[arthurspooner60]

Can you up the rest of the album please :D

[arthurspooner60]

Bloody hell people get over it.

Thanks for this.

[OblivionXXI]

hellz yer.

[deviltori]

This is my favourite track on the album!

[jackabussingly]

hummmm, shouldn't there be some youtube legal team created to stop this sort of thing happening? he's not even released the album yet, it's due on JUNE 1st, not april 25th. how about someone at youtube takes this down and stops people pulling the piss with a great guys' work?

[TanzMitRobot]

The album came out in the states on the 21st of April. I pre-ordered it on amazon.

[OblivionXXI]

Oh go fuck off, it came out in the states 21st april, Its on youtube. GET OVER IT, this shit happens, he's already made tonnes of money over gigs and album sales already. so shut up. do some research before u make these comments ye?

[jackabussingly]

i'll do some research and i politely suggest you catch cancer of the tongue or just calm down a tad in your response to people's comments on youtube. when i posted that message i didn't realise it was already released in america, but 'TanzMitRoberts' . comment opened my eyes to release dates being different in america. good times for you guys in the states ;)x

[OblivionXXI]

Oh shit sorry mate, I thought i replied to that wanker ninaninja's comment and musta've over-run my comment with some stuff from yours. But still neitherless, I am just utterly pissed off that people persist to talk about legalities and crap. and btw, I'm british, NOT american.

[jackabussingly]

thank you for the soz note, much appreciated :)x

sorry for the mistaken nationality :p

[OblivionXXI]

ahahah nah its cool man. americans and british are basically the same anyway, seeing as the link with the pilgrims and shit. we're basically the same, just different sides of the globe :p

[stareleades]

british and americans couldnt be any further from each other

all we share is history culturally British are faaaaar more advanced

[Iskra42]

fuck off. your on YOUTUBE and say that...are you retarded?

[stareleades]

I said CULTURALLY

meaning we have a longer history of culture

implying minus the native Americans

U.S is new

dear lord

[Iskra42]

no, you where being an ignorant bigot. American Culture has been a dominant force in the world for two centuries, it is responsible for popular music in all its forms, it produces more books, films, websites, radio programs and all other forms of media than most of the world combined. - i'm not saying that's' a good thing, or even that that's how things should be. What i am saying is that your statement was ignorant and should think before you type.

Love Iskra, Liverpool UK

[Alienmad462]

wrong. 2 centuries ago Britain was the most powerful nation on the planet controlling a quarter of the globe and the pwerfulliest empire the world had ever seen, as for music almost all popular music from the 60s to the late 80 was from Britain. The rolling Stones,The Who,The Beatles,The Kinks etc

[Iskra42]

Two centuries? Powerfuliest?....erm read a book, get bak to me when you can form a sentence.

The Beatles played American pop music - they just kinda did it better... The Stones where fundamentally a blues band (an american genre) exactly the same for the Who and kinks, rock and roll is an American invention, like nonstick frying pans and featue length cartoons

however, in fairness i did go a bit over the top re: America's dominance more like like 120 - 150

[Alienmad462]

The Beatles did not play american pop music..............they made their OWN MUSIC...

''kinda did it better'' the beatles were number 1 for 2 decades google 'the beatles awards''

100 years ago Britain was the most powerful military force, it had control of the quarter of the globe.

Rock music was a subculture that developed with late European Romanticism and African folk music in the Americas.

music has no nationality..the rolling stones are for the most part a rock band. brits founded usa

[OblivionXXI]

actually.. britain was the strongest NAVAL force due to the Naval protection act in 1800's which gives britain the international patent to be allowed a navy as big as the next two, and stronger aswell. Prussia (germany) was the strongest military force 100 years go. Not having a go, just clarifying your point :)

[Alienmad462]

'soccer' is a british invention so we might aswell say the americans play british soccer. how retarded does that sound? yeah...

[Alienmad462]

''Soccer as we know it today was invented in England in the 1800s but even before the game became a known sport in Europe many cultures already played sports similar to soccer 3000 years ago.''

[Alienmad462]

how exactly do you play 'American' Pop music.

we don't need anymore ass kissers of america.

they were defeated by third world vietnesse rebels less than 50 years ago

check 'vietnam war' on wikipedia

[skatelongboards]

so was france they pulled out and left us fighting them.and england lost against a bunch of colonial people who didnt even have much of a army and they beat the strongest army and navy in the world...

[kilt]

What about Blondie, Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Not really British but successful none the less.

[OblivionXXI]

BTW, cancer of the tounge? Shit dude, could've been a tad' bit more imperative with your insult lol :p

[jackabussingly]

and soz for the that bit as well. i take it back :p

[OblivionXXI]

And no probs mate, its cool to know some people on here have a backbone and are willing to say what they want to say rather than skirt around the bush.

[TanzMitRobot]

To tell the truth I'm still waiting for it to come in the mail. Amazon notified me that it was going to be shipped on the 21st of April and that I should have it by the 24th. On the 25th I received a message that it was out of stock and it'll mail as soon as more orders come in. With the last Patrick Wolf album, amazon messed up as well and I got it quite early according to the official release dates. While I may not have my copy that doesn't mean someone else didn't get theirs early.

[OblivionXXI]

really?

snappage.

[ninaninja83]

it's not right (and not legal) to post videos of songs that haven't been published yet.

[damienxxxpele]

:[ poor patrick.... everybody's always pulling the rug out from under his feet :[[[

[OblivionXXI]

No one is pulling out any rug, this album came out in april on pre-release, look it up on amazon.
