about

The sound is almost Bombastic and as alive as the wilderness in Springtime. Low range tubas and bassoons flirt with flutes and marimbas in this sonically unique piece of music.

Harkness says “It’s about magic being in the air, a magic that is impossible to resist or deny. An instinctive feeling that we can’t fight even if we tried. That could easily be a sexual energy or something much deeper”

The song was born after a chance meeting with a stranger on the bus, email addresses were exchanged and soon after magical moments bloomed. “As I was riding my bike to meet her on that first date a Butterfly flew towards me and I instinctively caught it while still pedaling. When I finally reached her and we came together to meet I released the Butterfly between us as we said Hello. You can guess how the rest of the day went…”

lyrics

“Lure Of The Pollen” Lyrics:

There are no words for the lure of the pollen
Lure of the pollen

The buzz she got me yesterday
The sun was sinking anyway
The sting that never fades away

There are no words for the lure of the pollen
Lure of the pollen

You can’t choose your special day
It chooses You, You’ll have no say
When the butterfly makes its way

Don’t walk home alone

Never break this ball and chain
I wouldn’t have it another way
With a kiss we kill another day

There are no words for the lure of the pollen
Lure of the pollen
The way she’s moving the gauntlet has fallen
Gauntlet has fallen
There are no words for
