无可否认，UK排行榜对于耳朵来说，绝对比Billboard靠谱儿多了。Newton Faulkner是个新名字，定义为唱作人的标签令人有点兴趣。这个仅有22岁、留着Michael Boton一样的长发、长得像牛顿大叔一样的英国音乐人在自己的blog里写：“天勒，我不敢相信这张专辑居然拿到了第一名！”事实上它确实值得一听。
第一首歌密集的木吉他节奏显然是一个良好的开始。带着点乡村风情的《To the light》是整张专辑中最好听的一首曲目。后面一二首略带流行意味，本来略有失望，想着你不可能要求在这个流行的大环境里成长起来的年轻人做的每首歌都indie。谁想峰回路转，《Dream catch me》《Feels like home》几首又显出了他粗粝的某些特质的深厚的编曲能力，当然，当然，最令人拍桌大叫的还是等第七首曲子出来——Love love is a verb，是的，翻唱Massive Attack的名曲《Tear drop》，足够令你激动你逝去的青春。Newton Faulkner用他略显疲态又显然受了根源民谣影响的嗓音缓缓把它唱出，别有一番风情。
英文歌词
Every time
I close my eyes
It's you
And I know now
Who I am
Yea yea yea
And I know now
There's a place I go
When I'm alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I'm fallin
That's where I'm goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won't let this go
Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all
You do so much
That you don't know
It's true
And I know now
Who I am
Yea yea yea
And I know now
There's a place I go
When I'm alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I'm fallin
That's where I'm goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won't let this go
Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all
See you as a mountain
A fountain of God
See you as as a descant soul
in the setting sun
You as the sound
As the _____________
I'm young
There's a place I go
When I'm alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I'm fallin
There's a place I go
When I'm alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I'm fallin
That's where I'm goin
Where are you goin
Hold it close won't let this go
Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all
