Halcyon (Orbital song)

Halcyon is a song written and performed by Orbital. In its original form, the song is a melancholy tribute to the addictive sedative Halcion (Triazolam), which the Hartnoll brothers' mother reportedly used. This original form of the song is relatively uncommon; it did not appear on a full-length album until Work 1989-2002. The music video for Halcyon is available on Loopz, the official Orbital fan site.
