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.
Federkleid
Faun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ziehen die Vögel, wo mögen sie wohl morgen sein
Ich folge dem Rauschen der Schwingen in das stille Moor
Uralte Lieder dringen aus den Nebeln vor
Komm und fliege mit uns fort
Lass den Wind dich tragen
Weit fort von diesem Ort
Lass uns die Himmel jagen
Im Tanz
Nebel wie Seide streifen meine Haut so kühl
Weiter und weiter, wo find ich meiner Sehnsucht Ziel
Ich schließe die Augen und mir sprießt ein Federkleid
Schon spür ich den Wind und mache meine Flügel weit
Komm und fliege mit uns fort
Lass den Wind dich tragen
Weit fort von diesem Ort
Komm und flieg so hoch du kannst
Lass uns die Himmel jagen
Im Tanz
Die Himmel in dir, wie kann ich sie wissen, kann sie sehen
Wir tanzen im Fluge wie Sterne, die ihrer Wege ziehen
Komm und fliege mit uns fort
Lass den Wind dich tragen
Weit fort von diesem Ort
Komm und flieg so hoch du kannst
Lass uns die Himmel jagen
Im Tanz
The song Federkleid by the German band Faun is a captivating melody that captures the essence of flying with birds. The opening verse paints a vivid picture of the beauty of nature and the mystery of the bird's journey. The singer of the song follows the rustling of the wings into the quiet moors, where ancient songs rise from the mists. The desire to be one with nature is palpable in the words, and one can sense the yearning to take flight and leave all earthly concerns behind.
The chorus invites the listener to come and fly with the birds, to be carried away by the wind and leave all worries behind. The idea of soaring into the sky and chasing the heavens is both liberating and enticing. The second verse highlights the singer's longing for freedom and the search for meaning in life. The image of the feathers sprouting from their body is a metaphor for a spiritual transformation, a shedding of old concerns and a newfound sense of lightness.
The final verse is both mystical and poetic, revealing that the secret of life is to be found in the heavens. The dance in the sky with the stars is a metaphor for the journey of life, and the need to find beauty and wonder in the world around us. The song, therefore, speaks to the audience's heart about the joys of flight and the need to escape the mundane and find meaning in life.

Translation in Englisch:
Across the heath, in the early morning glow
Birds pass on by, where may they be tomorrow
I follow the sizzling of the wings into the somber moor
Age-old songs resound from the haze
Come and fly away with us
Let the wind carry you
Far away from this place
Come and fly as high as you can
Let us chase the skies
In our dance
Silken Haze, so chilly, brushing my skin
Further and further, where shall I find my yearning's goal
I close my eyes and grow a plumage
I feel the wind already and spread my wings to fly
Come and fly away with us
Let the wind carry you
Far away from this place
Come and fly as high as you can
Let us chase the skies
In our dance
The heavens in you, how can I know them, can I see them
In flight we dance like the stars, moving on their paths
Come and fly away with us
Let the wind carry you
Far away from this place
Come and fly as high as you can
Let us chase the skies
In our dance

English Translation
Across the heath, in the first morning light
The birds are leaving, where might they be tomorrow
I follow the murmur of the wings into the silent moor
Ancient songs emerge from the mists
Come and fly away with us
Let the wind carry you
Far away from this place
Come and fly as high as you can
Let us chase the skies
while dancing
Mist like silk brushes my skin so chilly
Further and further, where do I find my desired goal
I close my eyes and a plumage sprouts
Already I feel the wind and spread my wings
Come and fly away with us
Let the wind carry you
Far away from this place
Come and fly as high as you can
Let us chase the skies
while dancing
The skies within you, how can I know them, can see them
We dance in the flight like stars that travel their paths
Come and fly away with us
Let the wind carry you
Far away from this place
Come and fly as high as you can
Let us chase the skies
while dancing

Sobre el campo, en la primera luz de la mañana
¿Tiran los pájaros, a dónde les gusta estar mañana?
Sigo el sonido de las alas en el silencioso pantano
Donde viejas canciones penetran desde la niebla
Ven y vuela con nosotros
Deja que el viento te lleve lejos de este lugar
Ven y vuela tan alto como puedas
Cacemos los cielos, el viento está bailando
Niebla como seda tira mi piel tan genial
Una y otra vez ¿dónde encuentro mi objetivo de anhelo?
Cierro los ojos y broto un plumaje
Ya siento el viento y abro mis alas
Ven y vuela con nosotros
Deja que el viento te lleve lejos de este lugar
Ven y vuela tan alto como puedas
Cacemos los cielos, el viento está bailando
Los cielos en ti, ¿cómo puedo conocerlos, pueden ver?
Bailamos sobre la marcha, las estrellas que se abren paso
Ven y vuela con nosotros
Deja que el viento te lleve lejos de este lugar
Ven y vuela tan alto como puedas
Cacemos los cielos, el viento está bailando

The fact that there's so many comments from all sorts of other languages is amazing. This band, this song, has united so many disparate people with its beauty. Language is irrelevant, we all fell the same emotions when this song plays.
