Patrick Wolf: How to write a modern love song
British multi-instrumentalist Patrick Wolf is bucking the trend for break-up music with his fifth album Lupercalia.
The lavish, soulful record charts his relationship with his boyfriend William, to whom he became engaged last year.
On the latest single, he puts it simply: "I love this house, I love this house / Gives me the greatest peace I've ever known."
The 27-year-old singer-songwriter told the BBC about bearing his heart, and why he'd made a big budget studio album at a time of austerity.
Why is the album called Lupercalia?
It means "wolf festival" in Latin. The festival was a celebration of love and fertility, the origin of St Valentine's Day. It was meant to bring prosperity and happiness into an urban environment. So it really matched all my ideas for the album.
How have the songs been working on tour?
It's nice to have an album that has had a positive reaction. In the past my lyrics and production have been provocative, which I'm not ashamed of at all, but it's interesting to see how something that's about love and intimacy sits in people's lives a lot easier. I feel I've been leaving people with a better taste in their mouth than when they entered the venue.
Is that a new feeling?
Oh yes. When I was touring my last album, The Bachelor, I was sinking into a petulant and aggressive spirit. I left people with too much bad adrenalin. Too much anger and misery.
What changed?
I fell in love in 2007. I found someone I could look after, and I allowed someone to look after me. It's something I've never really done in my life before. Then I took a year before writing this album to have psychotherapy, and to learn how to cook and clean the house. For once, I settled down and grew up.
On Slow Motion, you sing: "You saved me with a kiss of life".
The lyric describes the moment I met my partner, on a balcony at a gig in Camden. The first kiss in that relationship was the beginning of an awakening. I'd been sleep-walking through life for three or four years, and suddenly I could see the wonder of the world again.
If you've ever been in a depressive state, you often feel like you're wading through life when you want to be running. That's why the song's called Slow Motion.

Suddenly they were ubiquitous: on the radio, on Canada's TV music station MuchMusic, in every bar, blaring out of cars and dorm rooms, sung around campfires. They won the fan-voted Entertainer of the Year at the Junos. The mayor of their hometown,
Because that is the other thing you don't see when you're there: all those wild, grinning faces mouthing your lyrics back at you and girls with daisy chains in their hair hugging and clamouring onto each others shoulders like excited monkeys.
