It was instant 'Shakespearian' love at first sight. Is this love returned? I do hope so.
The people involved are different from others around: they are seahorses; they look different; they act different but they still belong in their environment.
Around them are the dragonflies - the gossipers buzzing around because they have nothing of value to say. The bluejays, authority figures who look down on them. They may be educated and have 'high moral standards' but who are they to judge? Their high viewpoint has crashed down, they are on the same level, their society is no better than that of any other.
Coal is easily damaged, but given the love he yearns he can become as hard as diamond, indestructable. A second view on this could be that coal is something society rips thoughtlessly from the ground and burns up, it is as cheap and dirty but is it inexhaustible? The journey to diamond, the thing he is looking for, the thing that could make or break him,is the journey to be valued and treasured, perhaps by one person only, the person he loves, the person who may wear it on their finger.
The most beautiful lines ever written - "Beat a drum for me, like a butterfly wing. Tropical storm across the ocean." The drum is the drum of the heartbeat, and beat it for him, think of him, as gently as a butterfly wing (according to chaos theory) it will set the storm raging in his heart wherever he is.
Is the person ready for this? He acknowledges they are 'still halfway from coal'. He wants to know, but 'Don't explain', the hurt would be too much.
A song of love, a song I love. Inspired by nature and simplicity.
This is such a beautiful interpretation of this song.....I'd hate it if they just wrote some stuff about a guy walking around the farm talking to dragonflies. I wish the writer would give us a hint about what inspired it and what some of the imagery represents.

A song of love on the edge of 'normal' society.
