You need to do the 10th Anniversary Concert at the Royal Albert Hall ❣️🥰❣️ https://youtu.be/8qy4o6amTqE?si=xCJaYAs4g2iop6ZC It's more exciting when you know the story behind Transylvania and see Dougie play that Massive Organ❣️

Exactly - but you were also still pretty switched on to catch some of those lyrics 😊 Thanks again!!

What a wild story! I couldn’t imagine how he must have felt learning all of that. Lyric wise how powerful that without REALLY knowing the lyrics, it was powerful enough to get the message across.

John, you were spot on! Taken from the internet: "Lyrically, it’s a deeply personal mediation on grief and growth from frontman Dave Le’aupepe, wrapped up with his late father, who died of cancer in 2018. His memory won’t be forgotten but it also reflects his struggle of making his way through the world without his old man. Also, before his father died, he hinted that there were a number of family secrets to be discovered in Polynesia. Dave and his wife travelled to Samoa, where it was revealed his father had disappeared to Australia in the 1970s, leaving behind two sons who both thought he had died. Further, his Dad was actually ten years older than he claimed, and was not brought up in New Zealand as purported, rather Samoa."
