The band's performances utilise chanted vocals and often employ the use of a variety of different instruments including the Celtic harp, nyckelharpa, lyres, bagpipes, Japanese taiko, cister, Pagan zither, flutes and Arabic instruments such as the dombra, rebab, riq, oud, darabukka and bendir.
Faun's roots in medieval music, combined with their influences drawn from Celtic folk, contemporary rock and Arabic rhythmic tones and fused with driving beats has gained the band a quickly-growing crowd of followers.
Faun was founded in early 2002 in Munich, Germany, and has since performed at more than four-thousand shows in a variety of locales, including festivals, medieval markets, concert halls and churches throughout Europe.

Faun was also a late 1960's studio project featuring George Tickner and Ross Valory (ex-Frumious Bandersnatch), both of whom would later be in the original line-up of Journey. Their sound was a unique blend of pop, jazz, 1930's swing and psych.

Faun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
non e maravillia de saar contreito
Desto fez Santa Maria miragre fremoso
ena sa ygrej en Lugo, grand'e piadoso
por hua moller que avita tolleito
o mais de seu corp'e de mal encolleito
veend'asquest'e oynd'e de rijo chorando
viron que miragre foi e non trasgeito
porende loaron a Vigren a feito
The lyrics of Faun's song Da Que Deus talks about a miracle that happened in Lugo, a city in Spain. The song depicts a mother who is feeding her child, an act that is not unusual or remarkable. The mother's act of breastfeeding becomes a miraculous and healing experience for a woman who was suffering from a serious illness. The breast milk of the mother, which is described as the milk that God drank from her breast, had healing powers that cured the woman's illness that caused her body to shrink and bend.
The miracle is observed by the bishop and people who were present in the church, who saw the transformation of the sick woman in front of their very eyes. The song shows how the miracle is a tribute to the strength of women and the power of motherhood. The mother's milk is a symbol of life, purity, and healing, and it becomes a reminder of the sacredness of motherhood while offering a sense of hope for the sick woman who was suffering from her ailment.
Overall, Faun's Da Que Deus is a powerful song that celebrates the life-giving force of motherhood and shows how the ordinary can become extraordinary through a miracle.
