THEME : "Leh we go back, to loving pan."
This was a song I had done 10 years ago which was in raw form as a demo with only a melody. It was intended for an album after Passion for Pan, which I never completed. I pulled it out of the cobweb, and the first time Ken heard it, he was blown away.
This was a year after I went to Africa, we both thought we were not going to do any music for 2010. Instead after hearing this, Ken and I ended up doing 2 songs for 2010, this one and Surrender. We could never predict how the creative energy would flow, nor can you stop it. With Destra's creative lyrics and unique voice, and Junior "Ibo" Joseph's magic in the studio, the song finally came to life 10 years later for the pan community it was intended for.
The concept Destra used was clever, making the instrument analagous to a woman who is neglected at home, but appreciated outside. In the past the streets at Carnival time was filled with steelbands, now it is dominated by the big trucks with deejays. The woman (pan) begging for the love she used to get before.
