Patrick Wolf, the 39-year-old English singer-songwriter, has been making waves in the music business for 20 years! His style is unique, and his eclectic history in music and fashion during his stay in the limelight has meant that he has gathered a wide range of followers from around the globe.

"The Night Safari" is a deep song with lyrics that take you on a real journey of discovery. The concept of being on a night safari is everything you think it might be, with dreamy phrases and hypothetical scenarios that keep you engaged with the lyrics throughout the song.

At over six minutes and with a distinctly unique feel to it, Patrick Wolf has delivered an operatic masterpiece with "The Night Safari". With little modern comparison, we are musically taken on quite a journey. With a floating vocal being the main staple of the song, the rest is divided up into a variety of sections with different vibes flowing across each one. We start with a very soft, stripped-back verse, but by the end, there are loops and a variety of instrumentation that make this song a fascinating listen that has been a wonderful experience.
