The song is inspired by Greek mythology and the love story between the nymph Clytia and the sun god Apollo. After he loved her, he abandoned her. She cried so much that she turned into a sunflower. I also put another character in the song, a young man who falls in love with the flower and protects it. But for both the love remains unrequited.

I don't believe in an anthropomorphic god. If there is a higher creative force at all, I don't think it resembles what the monotheistic religions tell us. I do believe that we are all connected to an immense creative force. That is what connects us as humans.
