В октябре прошлого года был выпущен шестой альбом Патрика Волфа — Sundark and Riverlight, в который вошли акустические версии самых популярных песен, записанных Волфом ранее. Альбом состоит из двух частей: в первую включены более мрачные композиции, такие как Hard Times или Wind in the Wires; во вторую — более светлые, хотя все относительно. На мой взгляд, Teignmouth и Bluebells звучат ненамного жизнерадостнее, чем The Libertine. А вот в The Magic Position действительно есть и любовь, и счастье, и синее небо, и блики на воде.
Все песни по-своему интересны, поэтому рекомендую
скачать альбом целиком. Но, чтобы избежать перегрузки, для начала лучше слушать его порциями по две-три песни. И не игнорируйте тексты — прочтите их, даже если плохо понимаете по-английски. Они важны.
Если кто-то пропустил мою запись о Teignmouth в живом исполнении, то

ТекстPatrick Wolf - Teignmouth
On the night train
From the city to the south
I saw spirits
Crawl across the river mouth
In skewed ascension
With no destination
Like this lone bachelor in me
This constant yearning
For great love and learning
For the wind to carry me free
So when the birds fly south
I'll Reach up and hold their tails
Pull up and out of here
And bridle the autumn gales
Down to the burning cliffs
To the unrelenting roll
To marry the untold blisses
And anchor this lost soul
From my window
I saw two birds lost at sea
I caught our reflection
In that silent tragedy
But with hope prevailing
I draw galleons sailing
In full sail billowing free
So when the birds fly south
We'll reach up and hold their tails
Pull up and out of here
And bridle the autumn gales
I give you my hand
The fingers unfold
To have and forever hold
To marry the untold blisses
And anchor this lost soul ТекстPatrick Wolf - The Libеrtine
In this drought of truth and invention
The motorway won't take a horse
The wanderer has found a course to follow
The traveller unpacked his bags for the last time
The troubadour cut off his hand and now he wants mine
Oh no, not me.
The circus girl fell off her horse and now she's paralysed
The hitchiker was bound and gagged, raped on the roadside
The libertine is locked in jail
The pirate sunk and broke his sail
But I still have to go
I've got to go, so here i go
I'm going to run the risk of being free
The magicians secrets all revealed
And the preachers lies are all concealed
And all our heroes lack any conviction
They shout through the bars of cliche and addiction
So i've got to go
I've got to go, so here i go
I'm going to run the risk of being free
And in this drought of truth and invention
Whoever shouts the loudest gets the most attention
So we pass the mic and they've got nothing to say except:
"Bow down, bow down, bow down to your god"
Then we hit the floor
And make ourselves and idol to bow before,
Well i can't
And i won't
Bow down
Anymore.
No more ТекстPatrick Wolf – Hard Times
As they
Dig your ditches
Count my stitches
Generation justice wishes for
World at war
Final score
Media come and abhor us
As these are hard times
We'll work harder, harder
Through these hard times
I'll work harder, harder
Divided nation,
In sedation
Overload of information, that
We have grown up to ignore
Mediocrity applauded
In these hard times
We'll work harder, harder
Through these hard times
I'll work harder, harder
for resolution
Show me some revolution
This battle will be won!
Forced to count the hours
Since two towers
Fell to fiction
Those higher powers
Putting gods to war
Who keeps score?
Ignorance is still adored
And through these hard times
We'll work harder, harder
Give me hard times,
I'll work harder, harder
For revolution
Hard time for some resolution
Time for some revolution
This battle will be won!
Harder, harder, harder, now!
If they only see you with their fear
And they only hear you with their pride
And they only see you with their fear
And they only hear you with their pride
And we'll work harder, harder, harder, harder,
Harder, harder, harder, harder,
Hard times!

So let the people talk
It's Monday morning walk
Right past the fabulous mess we're in
It's gonna be a beautiful day
So do the bluebirds sing
As I take your hand
And you take my kiss
And I take the world
'Cause out of all the people I've known
The places I've been
The songs that I have sung
The wonders I've seen
Now that the dreams are all coming true
Who is the one that leads me on through
It's you
Who puts me in the magic position, darling now
You put me in the magic position
To live, to learn, to love in the major key
And I know how you've hurt
And been dragged through the dirt
But c'mon get back up
It's the time to live
So give your love to me
I'm gonna keep it carefully
Deep in the treasure chest below my breast
'Cause out of all the people I've known
The places I've been
The songs that I have sung
The wonders I've seen
Now that the dreams are all coming true
Who is the one that leads me on through
It's you
Who puts me in the magic position, darling now
You put me in the magic position, darling now
Let me put you in the magic position, darling
'Cause I'm singing in the, the major key
Let me put you in the major key
