@CountBizarre The words are borrowed and made into Walkers own taken from Knut Hamsuns classic debut novel Hunger: "It was during the time I wandered about and starved in Christiania, this strange city that no man leaves before it has left its mark on him." Great song, great band 40 Watt Sun :D
Patrick Walker is a true rarity.. His ability to create music that is so ripe with honest emotion is unparalleled! I have been a fan of Warning since their demos and certainly a fan of 40 Watt Sun.. I was fortunate to see Warning's last ever show in Oslo. My Eternal Thanks Patrick!!
I have listened rock music since I was under age of 6. My first records were Slade, Mud and Nazareth. I guess I was lucky that all was new in here. Not to be taken away. Since then. For almost over forty years. Every now and then comes something that lights up my fire. I own 1000 records. Third of them I know. Third of last by heart. Every word and chord. But, this. My son showed The Warning. I was drawn to it. This is for me. Angels in darkness, hope and misery in tune. True gem. Thank you Pat.
@CarlMarkusEriksson In an interview he said , on a question about the future for the band: "I don’t know. Maybe some acoustic stuff. It would be quite nice to follow with an acoustic one. I will see how it goes…" And according to their facebook there's an EP on the way and also songs for a new album are being written. So we can hope one of those releases are acoustic ones! :)
This is truly a beautiful version of the song. Has anyone/uploader (=Patrick himself?) any idea if this will be released on vinyl or cd (like the Birdges EP for)?
The fuck am I feeling??!

When I hear his voice, I am a different person. Paddy has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard.
And you're right! 40 Watt Sun and Warning are great bands. All Songs are AWESOME !!!
