Kantoi hooked me up and made me google her up. Honey Bee made me bought her album. Need any more introduction? One of our very own “real” Malaysia Boleh – Zee Avi. To me, it’s not just the folky-jazziness, but her soul-touching lyrics that rocks. Apart from the hit Bitter Heart, take a closer “listen” also to her Monte, Poppy and First of Our Gang To Die, they won’t dissapoint you!
Honey Bee – Zee Avi
I am a honey bee
shun out from the colony
they wont let me in
so I left the hive
they took away all my stripes
and broke off both my wings
So ill find another tree
and make the wind my friend
and I’ll sing with the birds
they’ll tell me the secrets of the world
but my other honey bee
is stuck where he doesn’t want to bee
oh my darling honey bee
I’ll come save you even if it means
I’ll have to face the queen
I will come prepared
my new friends say they would help
me get my loved one back
They say it isn’t right
the bees have control of your mind
but I choose not to believe that
So we’ll meet in the darkness of the night
I promise I will be there on time
We’ll be guided by my new friends the butterflies
and bring us back to our own little hive
Oh my other honey bee
no longer stuck where he doesn’t wanna be
oh my darling honey bee
I have saved you and now that you’re with me
we could make our own honey
