	Story Behind the Song My first evening spent with her revealed her true nature: she was Pandora. She was subject to every aspect of this poor mistress' character. Before going to sleep that morning I wrote the melody and lyric to this anthem. I recorded the vocals and melody with a twelve-string to a click-track. then in true Pandora fashion, my vocalist (and lover) insisted to sing this tune herself. I completed all of the instrumentation onto hard disk and rolled it off on 2 inch at Sparrow Studio, Chicago where Suzan did her vocals using the studios wonderful collection of vintage mics. This took ten to twelve takes. Oh Pandora! Lyrics On the shoreline Near the water She describes her Son and daughter Morning, Mother, Mistress, wrapped in my arms, Waiting for the sun Oh Pandora Dawn is waiting I am falling Are you sleeping? Opening those jewelled and jumbled boxes Waiting for the sun Show to me the keyring I am curious and kind Loose the lock that binds the boxes Tell me what you find Loose the lock on every Treasure chest, but one We will wait undone For the sun I am waiting Always waiting Checking in Anticipating Something of a certainty in waiting Waiting for the sun Mystery compels the copper clouds To form a ring poetry bends branches borne of songbirds near to sing Love reveals the contents Of a sad soul's tomb It prepares a room For the sun
