LYRICS

Verse 1

This is a message coming from the past
They say the band would not last
Unless we show them some class
The home of this band is on top the hill
The hills are alive with the sound of music - Music - music - music

Chorus

We know when we get together we strong like lion
We know the music inside ah we
For sure now we unite- we go make it right
The spirits of the past playing pan with we (repeat x 2)

Verse 2

We have to get together for this fight
We practicing everyday and polishing up all night
This show the fans will always call for more
This is a thrill we settling the score
Is war - Is war - Is war

Chorus

Verse 3

When we on stage the fans in a frenzy
They listening intently and shaking up they body
This is the heart beat of a great steel band
The judges and all shaking the grand stand
Ten time Champion - Champion Champion

Chorus

Nicole Greaves

Nicole Greaves has been a well-known voice around the Trinidad and Tobago Soca scene for over a decade. Nicole was one of the main female voices behind the popular Soca band Surface. Then to prove her versatility, in 2010 Nicole ventured into the calypso arena for the first time, singing one of Carlisle Michael Bailey’s compositions, “Where The Lions Are.”

Nicole was first runner up in the Calypso Queen competition, and was also a finalist in the national calypso monarch competition of that year. Because of her sweet voice and great range, she has always been in great demand by producers and other artistes alike, for work with studio background vocals.

In 2013 Nicole Greaves was at the forefront on Hammer Time and My Sweet Tenor Man and in 2014 she was heard on Pan Scandal. In 2015 she performed Doh Leh Meh Go.

She’s back for the Panorama 2016 season with the track featured here, The Spirits of The Past.
