The Childcatcher

[youhippy]

you should post it.. somewhere so we can read it.

also i remember having a conversation about this song with someone, saying that it had to be the first pw song you made someone listen to, because if they don't 'get' childcatcher then they won't end up really appreciating pw at all.

of course this was part of a drunken ramble so there maybe little truth to it, i like to think there is

^^ I'm not really sure about that... I think I can get what Patrick meant with this song, after reading some interviews, and listening to the second part of the song, but the lyrics, and his voice.... I don't really like it.

[voilathestars]

the lyrics are great, and his voice<3
Your mad!

[coco]

It's more about the feeling I get after listening to it... I feel uncomfortable, strange, sad.... His voice is creepy, and put altogether with the lyrics.... I know the song it's not exactly about what the lyrics say, and I think it's a good song, because it makes me feel different things, it moves me in some way, but still I don't like it.

Ah okey, well you can't like everyting!

I like it for the same reason you don't. It's a very powerful song. His voice... He feels the lyrics while he singing it. It make me cry sometimes. He cries in this song. And I love it. One of my favourite, I have to say.

i used this song for an assignment and when i presented it my class was doing those nervous giggles that you get when you're uncomfortable. they then started to make jokes about it and making fun of me for choosing it. it just got me irritated because they couldn't take it seriously and how that mocked it. its a really good song and has a good message but they didn't realize that. hopefully someday my classmates could become more open and more mature about these things.

brave choice though, I probably wouldn't have dared while in school.

luckily my teacher liked it and we had i discussion about it and tori amos songs that was quite fun

The Childcatcher is maybe my most favorite songs on Lycanthropy. The first thing that grabbed me was the beat. If you would have seen me dancing on it you would have run away scared (it would be fun hearing it in a disco.. deafening and just perfect to loose yourself
and besides that, it's a dark and hypnotizing song. It won't get me bored. And I'm not worried by it's 'pedophile' suggestions...It makes me think about it.

I love this song too and the way he sort of changes when he sings parts of the song in 'The Childcatchers' view it's like he goes through some strange, painful metamorphosis.

I also love the music during the part near the end where he sings 'Well I've got no time for victims' the music during that whole end bit is amazing.

To me, this song goes through all the stages which lead to a climax and is perfect to use as an aid to achieve one... even if it is a bit perverse, but bare with me here.

Here are step-by-step “instructions” to achieving an amazing climax while listening to this song;

First, make yourself comfortable, make sure it is dark and use a personal music player where possible as this means all other sounds are blocked out and the music is the only thing you will be able to hear. When you are comfortable and relaxed, begin the song.

"I was still a child when you caught me and tied me to your bed
You gave me shoes and pretty clothes, and i gave you what I had between my legs"

The song is just warming up, so slowly relax and close your eyes..

"Just a rite of passage, you held me down and said
I'm gonna be your right of passage, so boy you better spread, spread em"

The song is now getting a little more intense, so make your "movements" more intense and varied. Try breathing heavily as Patrick does, and arching your back slightly.

“You said.."run run run as fast as you can but you cant run run from the childcatchers hands"
but you can't, but you can't.. hahhh..”

With this last gasp, just relax again, mimicking and responding to his sounds and breathing out as he does.

"I wrote your name in my shit across the town to warn the kids of your bloodshed
when i chased you with a burning cross, my mother she wanted you dead"

Again the pace of the words and music picks up once more, so pick up your own pace..

"she said "run run run as fast as you can but you cant run run from our law given hand"

As this line repeats, Patricks voice gets higher and more varied, so reflect this again with your own movements

Patrick then seems to sing an almost groaning sound like - "uurgghhhh ahhh"
This could perhaps encourage you to respond to these sounds.

"run run run yeah ohhhh, run run run yeahh"

After each run run run phrase, the drumbeat is fast and has a repeating rhythm to it, try and react to this rhythm with your own rhythms.

Now kicks in the recorder sound with the heavy baseline beneath this texture, this is where things start to get a bit faster and closer to the climax

"you said
"well i've got no time for victims and i don't think it was all that bad"

It’s getting close, the aim is to try and time your own climax with the climax of the song.

"and if you can't run to save yourself well then you deserve to be had
this is the age of constipation, this is the age of martyrdom"

Try to control your body to time the finish perfectly to happen on the word "come"

"I think you even enjoyed it, I think I even saw you"

And now release...

"come"...

After this, just let the rest of the music fill your head and accentuate the sensations you have just experienced.
