25. TRACK OF 2009: Hard Times



Patrick Wolf / Hard Times

In a year where uncertainty has reigned and the economic crisis has seemed like a never-ending downward spiral, Patrick Wolf's Hard Times couldn't be more spot on if it tried. Almost seeming like a voice for the people (but that would be too cheesy), Hard Times is an all out baroque pop anthem. Steaming along with the sound of striking violins, hearty guitars and incessant electronic bleeps and blips, it's a relentless call to arms in which Mr. Wolf proclaims 'we'll work harder' before crying out for 'resolution' and 'revolution'. Hard Times is a rousing crusade against the Credit Crunch which manages to sound brilliantly life-affirming in a time where most people couldn't give a shit...but they will now.
