[Intro]
\n[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
\nCross-pollination takes two
\n(… how about for you?)
\n[Instrumental, Synth Solo]<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nSo, are you going solo
\n(Are you perfect)
\nThe art of both parts
\n(Perfect or wrecked)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nBe it wind or water
\n(And I suspect insects)
\nA son or daughter
\n(In retrospect)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\n[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]

\n[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nTakes two to tango
\n(Oh, oh, I know)
\nOh, the power
\n(Of flower to flower)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nBe it wind or water
\n(And I suspect insects)
\nA son or daughter
\n(In retrospect)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nI anticipate
\n(You’ll need a mate)
\nTo participate<\/p>\n
ABOUT THE SONG
\nPollination does not always require two different plants. While cross-pollination involves two plants, many plants are self-fertile and can perform self-pollination, where pollen moves from the anther to the stigma within the same flower or to another flower on the same plant.<\/p>\n
Self-Pollination (The “Solo” Method) Many plants are “perfect,” meaning a single flower contains both male parts (stamen) and female parts (pistil). These plants can often pollinate themselves without any outside help.<\/p>\n
Cross-Pollination (The “It Takes Two” Method) This is what we usually think of when we imagine bees flying from flower to flower. This requires pollen to travel from one plant to a completely different plant of the same species.<\/p>\n
