Hard Times - Patrick Wolf

[itsthecremdelacrem]

Best track on the album, But nothing on his first three albums.

You put The Bachelor up against Wind in the Wires it gets beaten hands down!

[FlockaLorenzzz]

I don't get the Lady Gaga comparisons I see everywhere. Sure, an interesting wardrobe is something they both share, but Patrick has TONS more artistic credibility and takes the same interesting approach to his music that he does to clothing and imagery, etc.

Lady Gaga sounds like the same tired, recycled electronic pop I hear everywhere, just dressed up. She's not an idiot or dumb, but her music? Most of it is. Who knows, maybe she'll evolve. Until then the comparisons are fairly baseless...

[brightpinkstatic]

I like the track on it's own, couldn't stand the music video.

[Flowerblood]

@brightpinkstatic I agree, thought it was shockingly bad. I find that to be the case with most of his visuals, they look really cheap and a little cheesy sometimes.

[lord2313]

@Flowerblood a little cheesy?please!if a little cheesy is Lady Gaga than what is very cheesy?

[derblaueangst]

Sincerely, too too baroque for me... And probably pretentious...

[MoonundMoon]

@derblaueangst What is "probably pretentious"? What a pretentious statement...

[iwantwhatiget]

And this song is amazing!!! I love how all of his music is different. One song is rock, one song is pop, the other is this ballad. He's the coolest!

[xtcongo]

This is very annoying music...

Product for the dumbed down predictive texting generation.

[HoodedSword]

i dunno...this is the only song i've heard from him, but he seems to be a lot more musically intelligent and versatile than other pop music today. at least to me, there's a quality about it that a lot of other music today doesn't have, like that shit like Lady Gaga and stuff.

[DanciinsenOrita]

thats funny my bestie is like OBSESSED with Patrick Wolf yet loves Lady Gaga .. go figure

although i think lady gaga is a lil different frm like other pop musicians... shes sorta like... Willy Wonka in the new Willy Wonka in the Chocalate factory movie,,, awkward

[HoodedSword]

Actually yeah I admire Lady Gaga's eccentric I guess, but I hate her music! She's so different with her image, but her songs are really generic from what I've heard. And I've heard a bit cuz she's played a lot on the radio!

[DanciinsenOrita]

Yeah i guess that one of the only things u can admire about her :P

yeah some of her songs r soo like bought out n generic u just wanna slap her xD

yeah true

[OblivionXXI]

thumbed up for sheer awesomeness

[iwantwhatiget]

Lady Gaga isn't shit, and Patrick isn't either.

They're both cool and different.

[HoodedSword]

I agree that they're both cool and different, but Lady Gaga is only really different in terms of fashion and stuff. Visuals aside, her music is really generic dancepop stuff.

[iwantwhatiget]

She reminds me of Eurodance yeah.

[Flowerblood]

@iwantwhatiget Lady Gaga is awful, come on. I completely agree with Hooded Sword, she dresses weird but that's all. She's a fucking weirdo in the worst sense of the word in that she tries way too hard.

[darcymolyneux17]

@HoodedSword musically intelligent yeah, but did you see when he was on NMTB? He seemed like such a douche :D Great song though ^_^

[thisisnotlouisrez]

song is awesome. but the cover to the album looks stupid as hell

[kriskris1983]

very ture mate hehe

[muguen44]

it´s amazing.....*

alguien me puede decir de donde es el??¿ O.o

[Aljalusensei]

Pienso que es Inglès

[playbic15]

this would be such an amazing bond theme!

[CradleTheCrescent]

haha, agreed ;)

[Lovesrichey]

glasgow tonight (: can't wait!!!!! <3 Love you Mr Wolf (:

[LisaMarieDickinson]

6 DAYS TILL LEADMILL!!!

i love him i love him i love him

[PatrickPirateMouse]

patrick wolf is such a genius, these songs sound much better live (portsmouth wedgewood rooms) he is amazing with the crowd as well.. going again x

i cant believe he is only like 21 or something and this is his fourth album, it just goes to show all the moaning some really famous bands do, about working really hard for like five years when its only there third album is a load of bullshit...

his work is emmense and the albums just get better and better

[spartanwarrior]

He's at least 25 - The Messenger was originally written aged 15, but re-written aged 25. He rewrote it because the lyrics were originally about getting a passport and travelling and singing and he's already done that now XD

Yeah. He isnt as young as he looks I think.

He is AMAZING live, I saw him last night.

[stilllovexpatrick]

Why do you know this??

[idlejim]

He's 26 three weeks on Tuesday :-)

[BubblexSoapx]

Wow, he started experimenting with sound when he was eleven...and I was just born. It seriously love him so much. Like, I'd have his baby, but that seems a little creepy.

[MJarehot]

FREAL

[frealandgril]

GRIL

[DeepestSleep]

F'RILL

[frealandgril]

im sorry, but its FREAL AND GRIL.

do not try and join in.

THANKS

from freal and gril :D

[DeepestSleep]

oh right....F'RILL, I get your drift!

[MeridiusSA]

A girl made me listen to this; reminded me of GTA Vice City

Now, I'm going to jump myself into the 90's and grab some real Music

Oasis!

[MondeTriste1]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *cough* AHAHAHAHAHA.

Seriosuly, though I like the 90s. I do.

[DasMaedi]

Oasis is effin hilarious.

[levonbeyonce]

I think the wind in the wires album is his best work.

maybe not his best, but his deepest and most real album.

Teignmouth.

[Mikerty391]

I agree, i liked magic position because it added complexity to his work.

[Mikerty391]

I really dislike this song, maybe imma freak. But i liked the brooding and phantom sounds of his earlier work better. He still proves that he is so incredibly versatile as an artist.

[milosc9]

next album will probably be in a completely new direction, so don't give up hope if you don't like this one

[Mikerty391]

I really only dislike the first 4 or 5 songs, the rest are much better.

[LisaMarieDickinson]

i can't word my excitement, but this song is truely AMAZING, and i know for a fact, Bachelor is going to be a lyrical and musical mastery. He should go down in history as one of the greatest, most versatile artists ever. i one thousand percent love him, an can't wait for to see him on the 28th of May.

[blueandyellowbird]

just saw him do an acoustic set at le poisson rouge, nyc..super talented & a sweetheart

[galerandyaddict]

that album cover is as bad as good this song is :D:D

[Arskina]

OMG I love him so much - I can't believe I didn't buy bandstock, I'm kicking myself.

Still, seeing him live next week ;) He's a true artist.

[LisaMarieDickinson]

you can still buy! i've just registered as an investorrrrrrrrr, and i'm seeing him in Sheffield on the 28th, i love him, he's my god.

[Arskina]

I think it'll come up in my mum's name (Lack of a card, use mum's) and she thinks Patrick is a 'prancing twit'.

Northampton May 15th!

[MuseumofMemory]

Certainly the best song on the album.

[frankiesface]

easily one of his best songs ever...

[OblivionXXI]

*NEW FAVOURITE SONG*

[mofty7878]

ooooh i'm so excited boit the bachalor.

bring it on

fucking masterpiece

[leemond84]

amazing! I can't wait for his new album, I've bought a bandstock and will get the chance to buy a ltd edition version!

[ninaninja83]

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

[OblivionXXI]

[OblivionXXI]

[youbumder]
