So, it starts off in a fairly familiar fashion, but it gets to the point and adds in drums soon after. From then on, its a strange carriage ride through a german town, one ill-prepared for the carnival that approaches in a storm from the southwest (france). The townspeople don’t understand the gentle man that paces rhythmically through their streets, handing out candy and paper-dolls.

But his unrelenting kindness holds them at bay, keeping both him and his goods from the witch-fire for the time being (though I think we all know, its only a matter of time.)
