about

The final single off our upcoming release might be our most experimental track yet. "The Beekeeper" is an emotional, energetic ballad with every instrument under the sun: acoustic guitar, synth loops, keys, and punching loud guitars. "The Beekeeper" is about finding love that is almost too heavy to bear. The kind of love that keeps you so grounded to a point that you don't want to move, and don't want to ever leave. The subject of the song starts by describing all the ways their sweetness finds them, in the most simple places. The subject goes on to describe the ways their sweetness excites them, has taught them, and has saved them. In the bridge, the subject reconciles their transgressions towards life. Life has left them damaged and hopeless, but the subject feels humbled by the overflowing love they've received. In that love, they have found peace. We hope that each and every one of our listeners find love that can be so simple and so monumental at the same time, and we hope our listeners settle for nothing less.

lyrics

Sweetness finds me
Hugging the corner of my screen
Sweetness finds me
Sweetness finds me
In a punchline from the Dean
Sweetness finds me
"I wish I had"
My God, I can't be left alone to read into that
My conjecture's never iron-clad
I could've found myself halfway down
Peace, God and Mars don't seem all that far now
Need not begging who, got to know how

The weight of your whole seeking heart to adore makes a shoe so heavy to lift
But I can't control how it feels when I take a single step closer to this

She reminds me
The wonders of the wild things, cursed to be emaciated
She reminds me
She reminds me
A flame will swallow fast, so don't live satiated
You remind me
Austin maybe was talking to me
Love like cutting fingers, too fragile to be
Gonna need those to right some things
Find me a home
A sweet honey comb
I'll contemplate the air I could never have vetted
But I swear that I'll never regret it

The weight of your whole seeking heart to adore makes a shoe so heavy to lift
But I can't control how it feels when I take a step closer to this
Closer to this

I'll pass up on caliche
And try my luck in an infamous tarpit
Take the end of this and yank it
Tumble me home for a humbling dose of
I'll pass up on caliche
And try my luck in an infamous tarpit
Take the end of this and yank it
Tumble me home for a humbling dose of you
Of you
Of you
Of you
Of you
Of you
Of you

Of you
