The Return of Pan - The Waterboys

[TDJCCSGC]

the drummer is Carla Azar. I think.

[Rotobator1]

Who is the drummer ?????????????????

[MrSteredd]

Saw this video once. Just once on 120 minutes in 1993 i think? It has haunted me ever since. Don't know why. Glad to hear it again.

[deedee2244]

Pan is alive, simply because you understood this sentence.

[yesdarek]

Never mind your religious talk. Just look at that drummer! Need any other evidence that Pan is alive? :-)

[bottledolphin]

my fav waterboys song....just sublime to listen to ..

[TDJCCSGC]

Great song. "How do you follow 'The Pan Within'?" looks like an unanswerable question. Turns out it isn't, thanks to the Waterboys.

@TDJCCSGC see the ancient wold with ancient eyes

[Yannisastra]

Pan (Greek: ΠΑΝ genitive: ΠΑΝΟΣ: panos) was a mythological deity symbolizing LIFE FORCE, or using a Freudian term, LIBIDO (a term which is not exclusively confined in sexual energy). This primal force penetrates everything and is thus universal. In Greek, the root -pan- literally means "everything" or "whole" (e.g.: pan-theism, pan-orama, pan-demic etc).

[Bellix1996]

@Yannisastra well, what i know is that pan was thought to be a god supporting the animals,and is now associated to satan by fools.....we say ΠΑΝ and ΠΑΝΑΣ....δε νομιζω οτι εχει ν κανει με την κλιτη λεξη πας και τα υπολοιπα που λες μου ειναι τελειως πρωτακουστα, δε νομιζω οτι ισχυει κατι τετοιο :Ρ

[BxCOC]

@Bellix1996 - hi, what does this mean in English please? κλιτη

[neohip]

I was surrounded by "Christians" when this came out.

They didn't like it.

I did,because I listened to the words!.

I then realised my friends had problems with a Mythological Gods reproductive system.The embarrassment should be theirs!.

[joeygsmom]

@neohip not bad at all...btw heathen is as heathen does, they said rick n roll was evil way back when, ignore the critics and theyll go away...

[neohip]

@joeygsmom

It is not that simple!.You try and ignore them, but they always haunt you!.

Rock n Roll is not more "Evil" than any other music.

The great composer Paganini was refused a "Christian burial" not because he was a sinner,but because he was talented and looked strange!.

Those same sort of critics are still with us today!.

[joeygsmom]

@neohip Well I guess they showed him....daring to be different.

hmm didnt Oscar Wilde say "there is no sin except stupidity"?...but then, he would say that! lol

[Yannisastra]

Α perfect combination of rock music with traditional "klarino". A hymn to god Pan, a bacchanalian frenzy celebrated in ancient Greece.

[MacedonianEyes]

Pan is alive

[timdalf]

Something moved

Lightning eyed and cloven hooved

my god- Yeats could have written that. magnificent.

[rudehund81]

This is unbelievable.I dont like the music so much,but the lyrics are great.I also dance with the great dark Pan.

[remindbender]

m'ikeS overdoes the hendrix!

brilliant rhyme

shines divine

[mantzak]

Don't know who the hell delete this song every time from u-tube ,it's just the official clip of the song

The curse of PAN on you bastard

[key2kingdom]

hahaha! nice one Dude! It's great to hear this song after all this time.

[neohip]

@mantzak .Have you ever considered that it was Pan who keeps deleting this?

After all,it is about him being replaced with Jesus.

[bugsnerb123]

Dream Harder was a great move by the waterboys, think its fair to say they got a standing ovation for that, hasn't aged neither!

[mymegabiz]

Great guitar on this one. There was lots of great guitar on this album. Waterboys always had a massive sound whether on the traditional stuff or anthing else. Top class, thanks!

[SUNSHINEandSPIRIT]

Your the man mike, so cool,long may your talent shine on through

[aaronwed]

wow, i heard this song like 20 years ago, and hadn't heard it since, it was a great song from my teens, i spent a long time trying to find it in record stores, but never knew the name of it, i often cofused it with "the great god pan" by Naer Mataron. thankyou so much for posting this, brings back fine memories.

[winterfox666]
