Best song by Demons and Wizards, one of my favorite songs with Hansi singing (which is saying a lot for this BG fanboy). The lyrics are a way Hansi processed a rather traumatic experience and I always found them quite moving. " "I just wrote that music [for "Fiddler on the Green"] and sent it over to Hansi. The whole concept is his and it's based on a true story", Jon elaborates. "[Hansi] was out walking his dog and he saw a little boy get killed on a bicycle -- hit by a car. Well, it happened again, like a week later -- same spot, same place in his neighborhood in a place where something like that would never happen. Over in Germany, the Fiddler is like what we call the Reaper." Sounds like the Demons & Wizards album cover, wouldn't you agree? In summary, the Fiddler makes a mistake and takes this little boy's life too soon. Thusly, he promised the boy he'll create this paradise for him. The girl in this scenario would have been this little boy's future wife, so the deal is that the Fiddle makes a heaven for this pair as part of the bargain. In case you were wondering, this is Jon Schaffer's favorite track."
Thank you so much for explaining the story behind this masterpiece. This music has been a part of my childhood. It is representative of the strange atmosphere that emanates from this first album: dark, almost palpably melancholy, it leaves behind a sinister impression of the end of the world, and of destructive beauty. Kürsch's beautiful vocal lines and lyrics contribute to this primarily. Fiddler on the green is an apotheosis of power, sublimely devastating...
