LYRICS

Verse 1

To consolidate our steelpan creation
We must always play our national anthem
By our steelpan
Our national instrument - ’cause

Chorus

We are the epic, we are the epic
We are the epic, the steelpan epic (Repeat)
Play me, steelpan symphony
Symphony, symphony, Pan symphony (Repeat)
Yeah!

Verse 2

It was born
Out of the struggle for equality
And how wonderful it would be
To see our national anthem played
By our steelpan symphony, for Walcott gold
At the Olympic ceremony,
for his javelin victory - ’cause

Chorus

Verse 3

Fifty years have gone
Pan Trinbago, what’s going on?
Let’s take a stand
For a steelpan
constitutionalized national anthem
And how honouring it will be
To our steelpan pioneers and T&T
Let’s do it, let’s do it – ’cause

Chorus

We are the epic, we are the epic
We are are the epic, the steelpan epic
We are the epic, we are the epic
We are are the epic, the steelpan epic
Trinidad and Tobago!
Play me, steelpan symphony (Repeat)

The Epic is a song written by Roy Pascal, and dedicated to all past and present steelpan pioneers and pan lovers, both in Trinidad & Tobago and internationally, wherever steelpan music is played, appreciated and loved. He hopes that steelband arrangers will appreciate the message, as well as see the possibility of expression and musical interpretation with their own arrangements of The Epic.

Roy Pascal has been involved with music since the seventies, performing as a singer, percussionist and panist to audiences in France, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Iceland and Denmark. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, he has been living in Denmark for the past twenty-three years. He has released two CDs, titled “Human Source” and “Believe It!” as well as the single ‘Magical Thing,’ a Pan song in 2011.

A T&T food-for-thought song - The Epic is arranged and produced by Denis Gonzalez and Roy Pascal, and features a Pan solo by Andy Phillips.
