Harpy Hare is the first song released by Filipino-Icelandic folk music artist Keath Ósk under the name Yaelokre. It was released as a single on January 4, 2024, and later included as a track on Yaelokre's debut album, Hayfields.
Harpy Hare is a song based on a popular clapping game in Felicity that in turn is based on the fable of the Harpy, the Hare and the Hound. The game is played with three or more people and end up as a game of hide and seek.
Yaelokre has said on one of their twitter spaces that this song is about the Bellringer, but they haven't disclosed in what way yet.
Harpy Hare as described by Yaelokre: "Harpy Hare is a rendition of one of Meadowlark’s common fairy tales; “The Harpy, the Hare, and the Hound”. It has many alterations and depictions. Commonly known as a rhyme, or a children’s poem. Its a verse kids say during a game of Hopscotch. While also being one of the ‘easiest’ plays to perform. Though in spite of its prevalence, barely anyone could remember its truth and origin. It was a song the Storyteller refuses to sing once more for it was claimed, but misunderstood."
