H is for Halcyon 🌅
A track born from personal depths, inspired by the Hartnoll brothers’ mother’s experience with the medication Halcion.
Orbital sampled It’s a Fine Day by Opus III, with its haunting vocals by Kirsty Hawkshaw—who later became part of the story, starring in the Halcyon music video filmed in the kitchen of Paul and Phil’s parents’ house.
From surreal domestic scenes to its ’95 Mortal Kombat debut, and from Glastonbury Festivals ’99 to Bluedot Music Festival 2017, Halcyon has traveled through time, soundtracking memories you didn’t know you had.
This isn’t just a music video. It’s a time capsule—a behind-the-scenes glimpse of when sound became story and story became legend.
Proceed with caution. Once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it.
