"Hummingbird" is a song by American soft rock duo Seals and Crofts, released as a single in 1973. It was the second single from their fourth studio album, Summer Breeze, the follow-up to the LP's title track.

Background

The “hummingbird” in the song’s lyrics is a metaphor for Baha'u'llah, Prophet of the Baha'i Faith. The album version contains a prologue that is omitted from the shorter radio edit.

The song reached No. 20 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100[1] and number 15 on the Cash Box Top 100.[2] "Hummingbird" was a bigger Adult Contemporary hit, reaching number 12 on the U.S. chart[3] and number three in Canada.[4]

Harvey Brooks played bass on this song and talks about it in this interview for No Treble.[5]
