overture
Patrick Wolf演唱歌曲
Overture是英國創作歌手Patrick Wolf於2012年11月15日發行的專輯《Sundark And Riverlight》中的一首單曲。
徠《Sundark and Riverlight》是為了紀念Patrick Wolf首張《Lycanthropy》發行至今，出道已經有10年的時間，Patrick Wolf以“Sundark”和“ Riverlight”來命名，分成倆個樂章。重新錄製這張2CD的精選集，這些歌曲以Acoustic的形式被展現，少了平時的電子元素，反而更加的有韻味。
Patrick Wolf
Patrick Wolf裝備了每一種樂器，在11歲時就開始了聲音的實驗。他將古代和現代的吟遊詩人的樂器融合為一體，鍛造出令人驚奇的獨特的音樂語言。歌詞則是狄更斯風格和現代風格的碰撞，充滿牧歌般的田園與雜亂無章的城市之間的衝突。 Patrick Wolf六歲時從故鄉愛爾蘭前往英國學習小提琴，幼年便跟隨交響樂團到歐洲巡迴演出，十一歲時開始寫歌，後來因為偷了學校一台四軌錄音機器，逃出學校，當街頭藝人，從此走上了另一條音樂之路。十六歲時回到倫敦，十七歲時組了一個叫做Maison Crimineaux的樂團。樂團到巴黎表演，於是他遇到Capitol K，他們合作，後來他還在Capitol K自創廠牌Faith and Industry下發表了LYCANTHROPY。少年時代，他就是那種徹夜在睡房裡用小提琴、人聲、二手電筒子琴在四軌錄音機上進行DIY創作導致翌日要逃學的樂痴孩子……他的作品能糅合Folk、Laptop Electronica與Neo-Classical等各種音樂成分，既古樸幽情、也摩登現代。鄉村風情的民歌，古典優雅的弦樂鋼琴，以及電氣的Mircobeat肌理在他的作品里總可以如此絲絲入扣，和諧共處。你可以體驗到原音與電音、鄉間與城市、正統與街頭之雙重性格。他自幼學習正統音樂，卻愛上進行DIY睡房電子音樂之實驗；他深受Joni Mitchell的民歌影響卻對Laptop電音製作平台趨之若鶩；早年他曾加入弦樂四重奏樂團演出以維持生計卻又同時成立了Maison Crimineaux這支又嘈又顛的Gabba-Punk組合。在Patrick身上你可以把本是風馬牛不相及的東西混為一談……

Patrick Wolf
it's wonderful
what a smile can hide
if the teeth shine right
and it's nice and wide
so magical
all you can keep inside
if you bury it deep
no-one can find a thing
no
so come on now
open wide
open up now
don't you think it's time?
to look back at that boy on his way to school
such a heavy heart
such a heavy jewel
hiding something that one day he'll sell
but now no one asks
no one tells a thing
no
so come on now open wide
open up now
don't you think it's time?
now after all these years
you are at last opening
was it worth all that war just to win?
so caught up in the speed and the way
turn your sing
don't forget how the story begins
don't forget now
MUSIC
now i'm seeing all your lovers and enemies
been turning their keys
so full of greed
all trying to seize that jewel you keep
"what makes it shine?"
what makes it mine?
well i don't care
come on now
open wide
open up now
don't you think it's time?
now after all these tears
you are at last opening
was it worth all that war just to win?
so caught up in the speed and the weight
on your thin
don't forget how your story begins
don't froget now
take me back
to where it begins
before the speed and where you've seen
come on
take me back
to where it begins now
before the speed and the weight
of your thin
come on
take me back
to where it begins now
i徠s it worth all this war just to win?
come on
take me back
to where it begins
come on open wide
