This is a story about the Jail-House-Frog. It starts off with a man being thrown in jail for speaking out against the evil ruler of his land. At 1:20, there is some sort of chaos in the jail and the man is able to slip out undetected. He runs blindly into the dark woods where he unfortunately trips over a log and falls into a deep swamp. He passes below the surface, where he is rescued by the wise and clever frog lords.
A transformation begins....
During the gorgeous middle section of the song, 1:39 - 4:04, the man passes into foggy froggy bliss. He enters a dream state, passing further and further into the depths of the swamp. He dreams about lazing on lily pads, all cozy and warm. Hey, this isn't so bad, lots of delicious flies to eat, I can go for a swim, my tongue is amazing...down further he descends until he is fully immersed in his new existence. Meanwhile, at 4:05....uh oh! The guards are aware that there has been a jailbreak and the man has fled! They search in vain for him, even in the woods, but all they can hear are the usual sounds of swamp life. The man is never found. The End.
Well, that's my take on it. That middle piano and effects passage is so beautiful, I hope you like it! Ribbit!
