Frogtoon Musique - Informations sur la chanson: Hunnybee

“Hunnybee” Was Described By Ruban Nielson As Being About His Daughter With The Title Coming From Her Middle Name. It Was Intended As A “platonic Love Song” But More Complex Ideas And Advice Were Added To Elevate The Song Above Becoming Too “innocent Or Naive”. Frontman Ruban In An Interview With GQ "I Remember Specific Things. “HunnyBee” On The Record Is About My Daughter. I Was In New Zealand And Jake Kodi And I Started Jamming And On The Second Take We Got Something I Felt Good About. When We Listened Back We Thought There Was Definitely Something There But We Didn’t Really Finish It Until We Got To Hanoi Five Months Later. There Was A Big Monsoon And We Got Stuck In The Airbnb For A Few Days But We Had A Mobile Recording Setup And The House Had A Nice Yamaha Piano So We Recorded Some Extra Ideas In The Apartment. We Dropped A Vintage Mic Into The Piano And It Sounded Really Distorted So Maybe It Was The Wrong Thing To Do But We Thought It Worked So Nicely Capturing The Mood Of That Day So It Ended Up On The Record That Way. So I Have These Different Layers That I Was Lucky Enough To Experience To Help The Record. Each Layer Is Like A Memory."
