[@martylofberg]

The clip starts, the camera begins to pan back. The anticipation builds. Could it be? Could this be the day that the great and mysterious Pilky reveals his true identity? The slow rearward pan continues. How we have wondered, how we have waited. Three long years have felt like an eternity. Suddenly, just as hope reaches it's apex, the camera stops, pauses briefly and is then once again drawn back in by the immense gravitational pull of the man, the myth, the legend. Alas it is not meant to be. The secret things belong to the Lord, but the music revealed belongs to us and to our children forever.
