    This a typical Sleeping Beauty song. It's one of the public's favourites. It has a quite beginning and is whiping up in the end to a climax, like the dancing of Pan.

    Story Behind the Song
    The song is about the myth of Pan (the god of booze, the dancing goat). He fell in love with a waternymph. She turned herself into a cane as a final attempt to avoid his proposals. Then Pan became so sad that he cut the cane as a flute. You can still hear him melancholy playing his flute. Pan is also a symbol for the lost nature, a figure that is only led by his dionysic impulses. That is why the call of the flute is also the cry for the loss of nature. He only dances round and round and will never find what he is looking for, like the restless devil.

    Lyrics
    Pan


    Pan blows through the cane
    Announcing death of old times
    To the one who wants to hear him sing,
    His music is everywhere
    Hear the whistle blow:

    Pan dances round and round and
    Round and round and round
    Pan dances round and round and
    Round and round and round

    The crazy old fool,
    he can’t stand still

    Pan dances round and round and
    Round and round and round
    Pan dances round and round and
    Round and round and round

    For the things he never found
    Only a silent call in the night,
    crying out for more....!

    Marije, 1998
