Has anyone else noticed the little laugh-y bit at the end of the song?
You have to listen really quite hard, but it is worth the ear-strain. It is so adorable.

yes!
I noticed it!
And i love things like this. I mean, the little sounds or words or "mistakes" that makes the song a bit more special.

I think that this song is so underrated. Whenever people talk about Lycanthropy it seems to never get mentioned and it SHOULD GODAMMIT. Seriously, the lyrics are just so good, and it's short but it's so sweet and it makes me happy!

I love when artists laugh on songs. It makes me smile: I think that this song is so underrated. Whenever people talk about Lycanthropy it seems to never get mentioned and it SHOULD GODAMMIT. Seriously, the lyrics are just so good, and it's short but it's so sweet and it makes me happy! Same here - it didn't even have a thread before this one. How odd. Peter Pan reminds me of eating ice cream in a cone and buying flowers to put down at the spot where my friend's grandma got run over and riding through fields on an open top bus. Because I listened to Peter Pan a lot that day. It was a curious day.

I love Peter Pan, it's probably my third favorite song on It makes me think of Patrick in his peter pan outfit playing ukelele or something at the enormously fantastic playground I used to go to when I was little.
It's also a great song to sing when you feel nostalgic.

It's always a calm-down song for me, i'd been having a major crying fest over friends and stuff, and i'd been listening to Lycanthropy whilst doing so. Then PP came on and i was just all breathy and not thinking..just listening.

To be honest this song had to grow on me since my first hearing, but the track brings me such joy nowadays really! (agreed.)

I think this is my least favourite Patrick song by quite a large margin. I consider Lycanthropy the perfect album, almost, it's just this song... I can't understand why you'd bother putting it on an album. Maybe as a b-side or something, possibly, so it can sneak off quietly and be forgotten about.

i love 'peter pan', i find it uplifting
the first time i heard it was on a filmed gig he did for xfm and i just found myself to be enraptured by it
and i believe its simplicity and its bareness are what makes it work.
rather than lots of work on the song it remains raw, 'young' even
just like peter pan himself

I noticed the little laugh... Patrick just makes me shudder with excitement and wonder!
I love this song soooooo much, its one of my faves and i think so many people write it off as a little inbetween songs song, but its incredible as a piece of music and its so raw and natural, i just love it!

i've never thought of it as one of the album's weaker tracks.
yeah, i love the cuteness and simplicity of it. it was the PW song i chose to put on a cd i made for my friend's birthday, i think she likes it, she hasn't said...

I love Peter Pan, when I was in London, I went to the statue of Peter pan in Hyde park, and then I danced around it and sang the song! People where starring at me like I was crazy and my sister was staring at me like I was 3 years old, haha! But it was fun!

I like that song! It sounds like a curious little snippet of fun amongst the sonic experimentation of the rest of Lycanthropy (which, coincidently, also contains a laugh at the end of the title track). I love the sounds of the bussling street through it as well. Makes you feel as thought you're listening to a busker!

It's great. I used to really dislike it when I first got the album, but now it's really grown on me. I think it really captures the spirit of Peter Pan, and contains one of my favourite lines ('After war comes peace, after peace comes war... Remember if it weren't for fighting, we'd be fighting for evermore...'); it just seems so genuine and perhaps that's because it's acoustic in the middle of an electronic album. It seems to me to be the other half of the feelings from A Boy Like Me (another cute little laugh or two in there).
