Honey Honey Lyrics
Fields of flowers deep in his dreams
Lead them out to sea by the east
Honey honey food for the bees
In the dolfrums thinking of me
Me on dry land thinking of he
Honey honey not next to me
Even if he wanted to
Even if he wanted to
Do you think he'd come back
Would he come back??
In the doldrums waiting for me
Me in my boat searching for he
Honey honey food for the bees.
i think her "honey honey" is gone away probably at sea. or maybe somewhere else. maybe the sea represents something powerful, and unforiving taking him away from her. and everything around her reminds her of him. and she only hopes her misses ehr the same even though she still loves him, she has lost every thing that has told her he would come back even if he wanted to
It made me think of the Chekhov play "Wild Honey" b/c of the obvious "honey" and the singing in the background that sounds like a train whistle. And then I looked up the plot and it sounds like it could be related. (I had only seen my mom's old poster :P She saw Ian McKellan live in this play!!!) But it's about an old man that was once promising but the events of his life have reduced him to a poor schoolmaster in a village, cheating on his wife to try to "complete himself". I think this song could be from the young wife's point of view. She's mourning his loss of his dignity and purpose (he's "lost", "at sea", etc), even though she still loves him. The "food for the bees" is him; that's a motif in the play, he's the sweet honey and he's being eaten by the bees, or the women (I'm not explaining that right, but you get the idea....)
ive never heard this i wish i had
It's a really beautiful song ... one of my favourites, I am surprised no one has really commented on it yet. It's one of the first Feist songs I ever heard.
I kind of see this song as being about a couple, and they break up and he moves away. She imagine shim waiting for her to come to him, but she knows he isn't and she knows that he won't come back to her.
i love that "ha haaaa haha hahaaa haha" thing in the background and beginning. :] its cute.
I think this song is about a couple, the "honey honey" is her bf er someone she really loves, but he's out at sea (maybe in the military?!) and she misses him, but is unsure if he's going to come back (afraid of him getting injured at war.).
I think this song is about a couple as well. The man being at sea and the woman waiting for him. As time goes on she doubts his return and finds out he isn't returning either because he can't (lost/choses) or is dead. And she can't stand the thought and goes out searching for him. Most likely to never return herself.
wow, i love this beautiful. (:
I love this song! The constant sound in the background [whatever it is that makes that noise(?)] really reminds me of the movie, "We Are The Strange"
