I love how Rabbit reused her line from this song in Transform, to really tie the transformation together.

[@CaptainLightner]

IT WAS SUCH A SURPRISE HEARING IT IN THERE RHE FIRST TIME AND I LOVE IT

[@RKC-1234]

They performed for the San Diego Zoo when I was there once; they started here--I know those cliffs! They are a complete troubadour act and stay in autonomic character throughout with skits and gags through the performance.

[@dicodec]

That is awesome!

[@СветланаКаплан-о2я]

The last line of the song put everything in its place: "I didn't know I was crazy!" A very sad song. At first, the picture bothered me with something (it strained me, distracted me from listening). Then I felt a revelation in the voice of the singers. Everything fell into place in my head. The end, they completely made me sad. Thanks, guys, for the reaction. I was once again convinced that the first look at the subject is not always correct. A beautiful song. A sad song.

[@ladakrosh929]

[@dicodec]

Aaww it isn't meant to be a sad song. It is a love song. Be happy 🥲

[@nintendonation1257]

@@dicodec I’m pretty sure it’s a song about a lost love iirc

Yeah this song was made because the lead singers fiancé/wife left and they called them honeybee

[@electronic_bunny]

I met them in 2010 in balboa Park. Before getting their music published they were street performers. Its mostly why their robot mannerisms are on point, they were out there miming for food money. They have made so much music over the years now. Definitely check out any of their other songs too.

[@magpiewench]

I'll admit I cried the first time I heard this. The lyrics are so raw and the harmonies are just so tight.

So true. Such a great song ❤

I cry every timeeeee lol just because of literally how beautiful it is sonicallyyy also the last couple of I never thought I was crazy/ but what do I knows

This is my second favorite song by them. Their best, in my humble opinion, is Automatomic Electronic Harmonic. The same style of vocal harmonies, but it's more upbeat and includes more instrumentation.

[@dicodec]

Oh dope! Definitely gonna have the check that one out next.

[@ericsmith9907]

Listen to their Diamonds Cover. It’s the best version of my hat song in my opinion

The amazing harmonies is an aspect that stays consistent through most of their group songs, even when they change band-members. Seriously, I love their songs so much. T_T Highly recommend! It was such a joy seeing someone discover them for the first time. :D

[@dicodec]

It was great and those harmonies really are chilling and beautiful. Loved this song as well as "Hot On The Trail" which we reacted to on our other channel.

[@kiraprok8687]

A very beautiful, sad confession song. Without a picture, it would not be so dreary. We are all a little crazy, and we also don't know about it. Thanks for your reaction. For me, this is a new experience of perception.

[@dicodec]

A beautiful song indeed. It's not a sad song though. It is all about love ❤

[@bastiwen]

​@@dicodecIt doesn't sound like it but it is indeed a sad song. Bunny said that yes, it is a love song, but about the one you love leaving you.

It's amazing noticing the difference in how men react to this song vs women. Women generally get crazy delighted and charmed, and men get transfixed, like they're....remembering....it's beautiful....

Such a beautiful, beautiful, bittersweet song. And fabulous reactions from you guys.. thank you!

[@rorygiambalvo2955]

A 180 in terms of the music and energy would be their live video for Brass Goggles. It's got fantastic mixing, the Spine gets to show off his range, and Rabbit is full chaotic energy mode

[@theresab.1857]

Wow..I am impressed you managed to edit that into a watchable, youtube safe Video..good job! Also I really like how they make the note on "bee" buzz just through the harmonies, without singing it buzzy..(if that makes any sense)

[@devonvergiels5185]

I think alot of the harmonies originate with the twins. They naturally mesh. And if you haven't listened to Brass Goggles you've missed a wonderful opportunity to grin like an idiot. Great fun

[@Alicia_FitzSimmons]

I love your reaction to this! They are truly amazing and wonderful people. If you get a chance check out some of their newer stuff. My personal favorite video is Hot On The Trail.

[@thomaswilloughby2951]

So, the big question... will you cover more of their songs? The band composition's changed a few times since this video, and it's a different, but still wonderful, experience. For teh third album, you can watch "Catch Hatch Fever" live at teh La Jolla Playhouse in Sand Deigo fo that iteration of the band. For the 5th, you can use "I don't have a name for it" or "Malfunction". For teh 6th, we have another line-up change, with "Shattered Stars". Excellent group!

[@dicodec]

Absolutely. We've already done a couple more of their songs over on our Live Channel. kzbin.info

[@RixCanDoit]

I've watched and listened to that Honeybee video so many times and it never gets old. That's unusual in itself. They had the winning formula right there. But sadly, IMHO, they have deviated from it greatly (especially Rabbit for obvious reasons). Really wish they didn't go through such a change in lineup, appearance, and serious melodies such as this song. Not into the goofy stuff they put out, songs about farting, etc. So this one song is what I'd call a 'one hit wonder'. If someone wants to transform, that's their prerogative. Sadly this version of Rabbit was pretty cool IMO, visually (physically and costume). Bummed that "the Jon" moved on. Sam Luke as "Hatchworth" was pretty cool as well. Oh well, can still enjoy this masterpiece.

[@janklebox7263]

[@lightscolors7554]

Humor me for a second. As soon as I read the lyrics I felt like the environment didn't serve their performance good enough. With their amazing robotic/muppet style. This would've done better if they were all on a stage in front of the audience and the main singer started to tell the story of how he became conscious or alive once he saw the smile of that lady. The desire to be liberated so he could be with her. Where at the end of the music shows the lady leaving as the only audience who was watching the performance or at least the only person the singer sees in his world until she leaves him alone and he has to live with that lonely pain. Something in the tones telling me this has more like a circus vibes but a sad one. Like the concept of the clown making everyone enjoy their time but he is sad deep inside.

[@dicodec]

I definitely hear that

[@kosmokenny]

This was really their first song that blew up and got them a lot of attention after starting out as a mime troupe doing shows on the beaches of San Diego. Their later stuff has much more production value put into it.
