This song is what music is all about to me: beautiful storytelling, enchanting melodies and enticing vocals. I love it, but was very upset it wasn't on itunes and I had to youtube convert it to mp3, which I loathe doing.
I think this might end up being my theme song for this semester. I'm writing a major paper on "The Tinderbox", and this song is absolutely what I need to keep me excited about the analysis. Thanks for posting it!
Oh my god, the way this song kicks off it purely amazing. I never heard this song of his until I searched for it on youtube and found this video... and hearing the intro has blown me clear away. So magical! Epic! Wonderous!!
When listening to this song switch up your headphones, put the left headphone on your right ear, and the right headphone on your left ear. Disorienting.
This is so beautiful! And I love that he wrote it about a fairytale .. I will always remember this when I read The Tinderbox now ...
This is so haunting and full of lovely melancholy ... oh my imagine if he wrote something about The Little Match Girl ... I think I would burst into tears ... Im sure he would do it justice ... damn I wish he took requests!! :)
A hauntingly beautiful song. The style reminds me of The Stranglers 'Golden Brown'. I love the lyrics and the waltz like feel. Excellent story telling with a celtic twist. I could listen to this over and over again. Well done Patrick you have made an old lady smile at the end of a difficult day.
Thanks for this! Minor correction, though--the second chorus, it's not 'black dog/black burning eyes,' it's 'black dog/turning eyes' which is also part of the story.
hey, although this is a lovely song and i know you dont mean any harm by posting it, i think you should take it down... patrick's not on a label anymore and he's releasing it all himself so free music sharing could be the death of him.
Fair enough, I see your point. Although I have invested in Patrick's album, also I bought this song off itunes aswell as buying the 7" single of 'Vulture' & I am going to see Patrick at one or more of his gigs that are coming up, so I pay my part. Other than that I have had numerous requests from American & other non UK fans of Patrick's music asking for this song, as they cannot buy it from the American itunes store.
That said I did feel a pang of guilt putting this song up on YouTube as it has only just been released, but it's not as if you can download the song from my video. I'm just spreading the love...
Yes you can download the song for videos on youtube. you get can the FLV and convert that into an mp3. So technically you have given away the song for free to users
If that offends anyone, what I meant to say is that I bought the Vulture single 2800 times so once you've reached that many views you can take it down.
this boy can make me feel áll emotions at once 0_o"
