Werewolf by Felicity Cripps
Werewolf is a dreamy, strangely melancholic pop song that gently sinks into your psyche and lingers for a long time. The leisurely oh-lalalas hang about like jasmine blossoms on a Summer's night. Cripps' evocatic story-telling takes you on a journey, reminiscing on past, unattainable lovers and the gradual dissipation of youthful innocence. There's a sweetness that feels lost, but also a sense of elation in letting go and moving on.
The track was recorded and produced by Nick Huggins (Dirty Three, Jess Rebeiro, Jen Cloher) and features the dulcet tones of Bones Sloane on bv’s (Courtney Barnett).

Lyrics
We made a video, danced for the camera
I didn’t want to go home, we were listening to Sun Ra
I feel like a fool – you think that I’m too young for you
So why are you still here, when there’s nobody left in the room?
You walked me home beneath the moon
Kissed me when the jasmine was in bloom
Pretended we were in the countryside
Took me on your melancholy ride
Oh, oh, oh, my werewolf
Oh, oh, oh, my werewolf
You took me to club, somewhere in Kuala Lumpur
Held me by the hand, led me to the dance floor
I feel like a fool, I never learned to salsa
But the way you move… You look just like a movie star
You took down the taxi driver’s plates
Told him that I had to get home safe
Ten years on, who would have guessed?
You’d watch me trying on my wedding dress
Oh, oh, oh, my werewolf
Oh, oh, oh, my werewolf
Ten years on, who would have guessed?
You’d watch me trying on my wedding dress
Oh, oh, oh, my werewolf
Oh, oh, oh, my werewolf
Oooh la la la la, oooh la la la la, oooh
