Mad Honey’s Beautiful New Song,”Blue & You”

Oklahoma City band Mad Honey released “Blue & You” today on all music streaming sites.

“Blue & You” is an ethereal song that progresses as if floating on a river. Low vocals sing sweetly over a flowing, heavy melody. The beat taps easily, its only job to gently push the melody along.

The beginning is a steady tempo with the deep strumming of bass. A low female voice begins to softly croon a love letter, a soothing guitar playing over as the song takes the audience through a dream.

The tempo picks up after the first chorus, a whine of guitar climbing up into the turn of the song, marking the end of the more optimistic part. The new half contains a tinkling of keys with the slightest 80s take. A sadder sound takes over as hope fades into nostalgia.

The bridge is a desperate, expressive rise of guitar that ushers in the final verse – which comes in the form of a promise. The vocalist croons her final goodbye, her promise to remember even “if all the world remains this shade of blue.”

Every second of the song promotes a dreamlike state. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to dance around your bedroom, spinning slow circles like a girl in love.

Each element of the song gives off the impression of floating down a river. There are the soothing, rocking waves in the beginning, and there are the chaotic rapids in the middle – and then the end rolls in with the tide, the sound slowly lapping up on the shore.
