Erlkönig
"Erkönig" is a spooky song written a long time ago by a man named Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who was a really famous poet. The song is about a dad who is riding on his horse with his son in his arms, but there is something scary following them. It's called the Erkönig, which means "Elf-King" in German.
The Erkönig is invisible to the dad, but his son can see it and it keeps whispering to him, trying to convince him to come with him to his magical kingdom. The dad tries to comfort his scared son and tells him that it's just the wind or the rustling leaves, but as they get closer to home, the son gets weaker and weaker until he stops breathing altogether.
The song is really spooky and sad, but it's also really important because it shows how strong the love between a dad and his son can be, even in really tough and scary situations.
