although i am not sure it these are instructions for males or females or both

It's for both.

Your reactions are interesting, I didn't really know what to expect.

[trainspotter]

well if its for us females too you should have added get a big speaker and turn it facing upwards.... if anyone has heard of howard stern knows what I mean...
ps. yes i am being sarcastic.

You said "I like you"
and I said "I like you too", then I decided it was a bit weird (I know I have already proved I am weird, but you understand) so I deleted it.
Sorry for the mystery.

I'm not BLC (I don't know what/who that is?) I think if I revealed my gender, it would ruin the effect somehow. I live in England and my spirit animal would be a peacock. Death is scary so cake I guess. I would.

Same to you sir/miss?

That was what was weird?

The Childcatcher is full of emotion, it's totally alive.

I enjoy listening to it right before the Magic Position. I like the think of it as being able to forget the past, however horrible it was and move on with an optemistic view on life.

I'm kind of rambling but I feel something like that when I hear the song.

[Lanuit]

I would just like to say that in my earlier post i was joking.

I listened to this song today for the first time since wankgate and I could not stop laughing. Thanks.

I introduced my fluffy bouncy flatmate (no, she isn't a rabbit) to Patrick Wolf and she came back to me saying,

"Have you heard the lyrics to that creepy Childcatcher song?! It's so weird! Like...really weird!"

Her eyes were wide with shock, but that didn't mean she didn't like it. Yay! =]

The song creeps the hell out of me which is why I love it so much. When he does his Childcatcher voice every part of me recoils a little bit, I'm completely inside the story and I think it's amazing musically too

[werenotreallyhere]

this song if rather creepy. I love it.
My stepdad simply knows it at 'that filthy peado song'

[Lighthouses]

It is a bit unusual, it's quite disturbing at first but it's got an incredible composition some of the sections are awesome and there's so many interesting song ideas I've stolen quite a few ideas from that song

[cameraobscura]

even without the lyrics and such, it's still an excellent song, and the beat is masterful.

[fujur]

before to understand it i loved it , is just too mmm cant find the words but make me feel shivers

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.


I attempted to avoid making this some sort of crude and x-rated description, but sorry if it offends anyone or makes anyone feel uncomfortable.
If you tried it, please message me and tell me (briefly haha) what you thought.

OH MAN. Thats what I get for not really reading these folders of the forum. I missed this, AND I got blamed for it at the time hahhaa.
