Halcyon Days from Hyphens by Bathtub Sailing

A song for bird-watchers. Finally.

The idiom “Halcyon days” is used to mean a period of calm, usually in the past. It refers to the legend of Alcyone, a goddess-turned-kingfisher (also known as the halcyon). She would lay her eggs on the surface of the sea. Aeolus, the ruler of winds and father of Alcyone was said to have calmed the winter storms for seven days, so that the eggs could be safe, and these were the halcyon days.

At some point in this track, you'll be greeted by a kingfisher and some other birds.
