The Scientist and the Bumblebee The scientist said the bumblebee couldn’t fly, She lacked the wingbeats per minute or the necessary size, But the bumblebee in her ignorance proved him wrong, She knew she could fly cause she’d flown all along Imagine if she’d listened to the man she might have stopped, Given up on the spot, tucked her wings in and dropped, So don’t ever let someone tell you what you can’t do, Just because its proven, doesn’t mean it’s true. The bumblebee bumbled, loving her life, she hums as she flies, The bumblebee fumbled, clumsily stumbled from flower to flower The bumblebee tumbled, tore through the sky pulling corkscrews and dives, The bumblebee mumbled, crumbled in front of the queen and her power, The bumblebee grumbled something explicit, discovered she’d been labelled a gimmick, The bumblebee rumbled, desperate to eat that nectar so sweet, The bumblebee humbled her critics, silenced all things scientific, The bumblebee jumbled her speech, she didn’t care cause in the air she was free… Because she was a busy bee, loved to fly to flowers and visit trees, Deliver seeds, efficiently, more so than in a breeze, Intricate and intimate, meticulous, auxiliary, And gathered more honey than any sick MCS, Ever since she learned to fly, she earned her stripes, Despite the words of hype from learned types, Suppressed the urge to fight or turn and hide, Instead she yearned for skies and birds up high, Her confidence was soaring, She saw scientists as boring, The sort of people she should be ignoring, Because they made no sense, at least no scent as sweet as pollen, Even centimetres from her they depended on their drawings, And They’d rather follow their charts than follow their hearts, If they saw a bee leave they would still believe their graphs, They preferred facts and figures to beeswax and vigour But she begged to differ as she flew past and laughed, Meet the scientist, His aim in life was to try and dismiss, Any hypothesis he deemed preposterous, When asked why he never swallowed his pride he replied “that’s obvious, it wouldn’t fit down my oesophagus,” Not quite the optimist, more like the opposite, Less likely to be living in a bubble than popping it, He had hey - believe everything I say- fever Pollinosis when close to the anomalous, Taking measurements, making experiments, accumulating evidence, His brain contained considerable cleverness compared to his intelligence, So busy with bees in the room, he forgot the elephant, His full proof was foolproof except for the truth, If the bumblebee had read his report she’d have agreed, she was too heavy therefore would never be airborne, but ignorance is bliss and that begins with a Bee This one’s for the bees in the hives living lives of aviation, The ones ho survive and help survive through pollination, The ones who thrive in the sticky situations With the floccinaucinihilipilification, Doing what they’re doing for the buzz, not for love or money, Moving and manoeuvring above, if the weather’s sunny, Proving to the humans their conclusions are confusing And unusually refusing to budge, This is for those who are being themselves, and who believe in themselves, Who see the bee in themselves, and set it free in themselves, Who know that even though it’s difficult, life is full of miracles, And true happiness never came from being cynical, The bumblebees, forever looking for something sweet, Overcoming tumbleweeds by holding on the something sweet, In summary, this is for those who stay summery, For there will be bees to come, whatever comes to be.

[@natashasmith2910]

Lá I want to say thank you for putting up the lyrics sometime he speaks a little fast, that combined with his accent....makes it somewhat difficult for me to understand... Thanks again

[@marieleco7537]

[@somethingsarcy]

[@ProjectMusicPromo]

Very refreshing!

[@maaaaark]

This is amazing stuff!!

[@matthewrandell5055]

Lovely dudes. I had the pleasure of sound checking and mixing them at a TEDx talk in Bristol. Hope they continue to grow

[@user-lt4xs5ux4d]

Amazing loved it when you came to WSG to do the workshop 😍😍

[@kellycochrane954]

Incredible. As a lyricist without a musician, " I'm well jell ". Xx.

[@davidcoon1694]

Kelly Cochrane fuckin same love. All I can say is even though performing isn't your thing record yourself doing each song one time. If someone asks to hear how you want it send them that mistakes and all. I had a chance to have an artist but I couldn't bring myself to do it and chickened out. Don't pass a chance up

[@natashasmith2910]

Kelly j feel u I'm a poet and songwriter....I sing as well but don't think I nowhere near good enough to preform..I've performed my spoken word on stage but I'd love to her what one of my poems would sound like out to music.i encourage u to get in ur mirror and practice...or start small Iike in front of a few friends or family. I wish u luck ...God bless

[@s.g.7572]

[@nielsstaelens9188]

This intro tho

[@justaglassbutterfly7989]

This is what bee movie wanted to be.

[@adamryan2215]

According to all known laws of aviation....

The bumblebee is why I refuse to accept String Theory. If physics doesn't work for an insect, then that same physics will not work for the universe.

[@fsginsainity9327]

Rogue Person it had only been done with very rough calculations on a napkin. The wing had been assumed flat and everything estimated. Also, it wasn't a scientist. It was an engineer.
