  • Beau from Phoenix, AzBen: "What Will Become of Me" was more a segue and not really a structured song.
  • Susan from Westchestertonfieldville, VaI wish it were a whole song, I love it, some of the reason I even put Before These Crowded Streets on is for this tune
  • Dave from London, EnglandAlex from Carrollton, TX - you're right and well spotted! It's at the end of Jimi Thing - there's a pause/stop on the A7 chord, then they slip into this really lovely outro which is the part of Pantala Naga Pampa after the first eight bars when it slips into half time - if you sing the words over the top of the end of the Luther College Jimi Thing, you'll smile to yourself!!
  • Alex from Carrollton, TxI think dave played with this song for a long time. If you have the Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Live at Luthor College album, they start playing Pantala Naga Pampa. They repeat it a couple of times, then the song ends. Once i find which song i'll post it here
  • Jeremy from Clay, Nyvery good ben im happy that i see a dmb freak on this site besides myself
  • Ben from Harpers Ferry, WvActually, the song Pantala Naga Pampa comes from an older DMB song known as What Will Become of Me, which was its own song and existed long before Rapunzel. For the album Before These Crowded Streets, the band just took the riff from that song and wrote new lyrics for it.
  • Ian from Urbana, IlVery much the intro to Rapunzel, he wouldn't play it without doing this one first.
  • Tommy from Southboro, MaBasically the intro to Rapunzel.
