today's song is a very recent recording but sounds like it could be straight out of the past. erin mckeown's cover of honeysuckle rose is, to put it mildly, a swingin' fun song. there's that word again - fun. i know, i know. i use it too much. but it's so applicable here! normally, mckeown is more of a singer-songwriter, but here she totally embraces the jazz vibe. it's all bass, snare drums, and cheeky vocals. this version, btw, is off of her daytrotter session:
every honey bee fills with jealousy
when they see you out with me
i don't blame them
goodness knows
honeysuckle rose
flowers droop and sigh
when you're passin' by
and i know the reason why
you're much sweeter
goodness knows
honeysuckle rose
don't buy sugar
you just have to touch my cup
you're my sugar
so sweet when you stir it up
when I'm takin' sips
from your tasty lips
see my honey fairly drips
you're much sweeter
goodness knows
honeysuckle rose
don't buy sugar
you just have to touch my cup
but you're my sugar
so sweet when you stir it up
when I'm takin' sips
from your tasty lips
see my honey fairly drips
you're perfection
goodness knows
honeysuckle rose
