Artist：Newton Faulkner
Song：Dream Catch Me
Every time
I close my eyes
It's you
And I know now
Who I am
Yeah yeah yeah
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 falling
That's where I'm going
Where are you going
Hold it close won't let this go
Dream catch me, yeah
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
Yeah yeah yeah
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 falling
That's where I'm going
Where are you going
Hold it close won't let this go
Dream catch me, yeah
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
A sound just as silent as none
I'm yours
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 falling
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 falling
That's where I'm going
Where are you going
Hold it close won't let this go
Dream catch me, yeah
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all

才22歲的Newton留了一頭超級有型的雷鬼捲長髮，加上蓄鬍的酷模樣，雖然讓他的外型看來比實際年紀大很多，但是當他開口唱歌、彈著吉他，相當成熟與滿滿自信即刻湧現，我們更需要一個有型的歌手，不光只是乾乾淨淨、斯斯文文或漂漂亮亮的偶像氣質包裝。
15歲開始學吉他，並進入培養搖滾和流行樂派的The Academy of Contemporary Music英國著名音樂學院就讀。Newton的第一個團體是專門翻唱Green Day之龐克隊伍，有了些許舞台經驗後，自組放克搖滾團Half A Guy，錄製出的兩張獨立DEMO，讓他們成為相當受歡迎的尚未簽約樂團。隨後以Newton Battenberg Faulkner之名四處表演，順勢販賣自製的創作EP，引起廣泛討論的Newton，不僅受邀上BBC Radio 2節目，更入主SONYBMG國際音樂大廠旗下。
