psychedelia and burdens. an odd woman's thank you. a secular thank you.
lyrics
BLUE HONEY
kiss me, thank you, I need it
I appreciate it
it feels good
hold me like that, control me briefly
I appreciate it
I won’t leave
and with one hand wound in my head-hair, I swear
hold me like that, control me briefly
I appreciate it
I do
I’m your blue honey
I’m the sad angel around your neck
I’m your man
I’m a vapour on your breath
I’m your big burden
I’m the millstone around your neck
I’m a woman
but I haven’t told you yet
big tall thing hunched over me
dark fragrant man, dark fragrant man
touch of grace, touch of pardon
in the garden, open-air
he held me on the street
he held me on the street
and i turned and whirled in his arms
I’m your blue honey
I’m the sad angel around your neck
I’m your man
I’m a vapour on your breath
I’m your big burden
I’m the millstone around your neck
I’m a woman
but I haven’t told you yet
All sorts of punk musics collide in this one. There are still melodies and hooks, but they are someimes dissonant wthin the same track. However, that dissonance ismastered enough that the whole is something you should listen to. Thibaut Devigne
From despair and grief to optimism, the subdued electronic compositions on the latest from Opus form a moving narrative. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 3, 2023
