Steam Powered Giraffe - Honeybee (Live at the Walter Robotics Expo in San Diego)

[@aaronguzmanaj]

I was at their concert a few weeks back. During the middle of a "malfunction" some random guy yells, "looks like walter robotics was purchased by Apple"

[@rosannelobaton6657]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😱

[@mind9726]

Random Northeast Ohio yep yep tell us! man, i miss them tho i never saw em live haha

[@kingofcream5636]

That's funny as hell lol

[@BellasBoneyard]

Steam Power Giraffes is favorite band!!

[@visathief]

You guys have really helped me out of a dark place. Thank you so much

[@jogel7979]

:D

[@therobotwolf]

***** One would hope you liked the music that you perform.

[@pariswilliams7623]

***** word in the beginning the end and at 1:30 I was like damm amazing skillz

[@pariswilliams7623]

U gots one hell of a voice Bunny I wish I had a singing voice like that

[@jeferyallenpoe9674]

Really wish they included the prologue "there was a time I was in love and all the angels and the doves couldn't make her say I love you" in the album version of the song :-(

[@FH-rp6zs]

The studio version in their new Steamworld Heist soundtrack album has the intro! :)

[@jananw9231]

This honeybee sounds so much sadder than the original and Rabbits actions make it so much worse my heart can't take any of this

[@daphne5302]

During rabbits malfunction Hatchworth says "Oh be careful with that" and even though this song is sad beyond belief, it cracks me up every single time.

[@anonwhathaveyoudone5127]

I get chills every time at about 5:00 when Rabbit goes to hug/dance with/whatever it was with someone but then realises there's no one there.

[@plushs]

NOOO i didn't even realize that at first and now i'm crying

[@brianlavalley3983]

Software issue

[@moonieland]

You can't DO THIS TO ME. I'm DRAWING. If I start crying, I won't s t o p.

[@TimelessLeah]

crying.

[@SaberToothGary]

ugh... dammit... LOVE!!

[@msp_k]

Whenever I tell people my favorite band consists of mimes, everyone's first question is always, "Wait, if they're mimes then how do they sing?!" Then I show them Honeybee. Speechless. :]

[@BlackfootFerret]

3:00 Most bands dread Technical Difficulties. With Steam Powered Giraffe, it just makes things more interesting. #RobotsTrumpBreakdancers

[@aaronguzmanaj]

I love the hatchet's little comments during the rabbits break down. XD "oh that's cool" "oh be careful with that one"

[@Jay-ih9jp]

Can we talk about Rabbit at 4:50 - 5:15 ? Did- Did Rabbit legitimately fool herself into thinking someone was there for a moment- Oh my god look at how she tries to recover afterwards, she tries to play it cool oh my god This is sadder than Mufasa's death oh god

[@rutabaga794]

I thought it was supposed to be fitting the lyrics. "Hello Goodbye, Twas nice to know you"

[@Jay-ih9jp]

Probably yeah- That kind of makes it sadder, to be honest

[@acoolguy3299]

No nothing is sadder than mufasa. How dare you I rolled and cried at that

[@acoolguy3299]

That is really sad actually I never noticed that

[@Jay-ih9jp]

Well not the actress, obviously. Do note that I said Rabbit, not Bunny or Isabella. But Rabbit, the Robot, is quite disfunctional, old and only somewhat insane. It's easy to believe she could see something that wasn't really there.

[@MoonyMcMoonykins]

I'm not crying, I just have a robot band stuck in my eye.

[@leslietextor3753]

and my heart and my brain and my...........

[@oopsadaze]

...and my disc player

[@cocolossal69]

Rabbit's voice makes me melt away like warm honey .. omfg 💞 this song is so freaking gorgeous.

[@larrybruton6375]

2024 reminiscing honey bee still one of my favorites

[@1969AFC]

What no I wasn't crying when Rabbit reached out to hug the lady...and then found out she wasn't there...what are you talking about?

[@claudiawilliams3388]

lik if u crys evry time

[@1969AFC]

+Claudia Williams ;-;

[@claudiawilliams3388]

+SteampunkMaster thank you thank you but any way this bid is me life.......I'm going on the website to feed me giraffe toodles

[@FellowHuman137]

What could it possibly feel like to write one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@KaraEstes]

i'll never understand how performers do that thing they do with the making you feel things with a song just by emotion but i love it. like. i have no personal connection to this song in a normal sense. i've never had the feelings that are being sung about. but it still makes me feel something. and they do it every time every performance. it is a special little mystical magic that i'm glad exists in this world.

[@Mumble785]

Holy crap... I just realized what Rabbit is doing starting at 4:50... Oh GOD my feels... That took me way too long to notice and now I just-- AWWWW...

[@Mumble785]

Naveed shakeel He starts to slow dance with someone, then as he goes in for a hug or kiss, she freaking vanishes. ;-;

[@chimeramanticore]

+Mumble785 AND THEN THE LOOK ON HER FACE AFTER LIKE "oh yeah she's not real" I'm crying my poor heart

[@Mumble785]

I knoooowwww! ;-;

[@celiawylie4088]

+Mumble785 AAAAHHHH I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT WHY

[@Mumble785]

KaraoYoshi Yeah, she, sorry; video was pre-trans so I accidentally said he.

[@lordseph]

I swear, no matter how many times I listen to this song, it feels like magic every single time.

[@Dancingwithclyde]

This song gets me every single time.

[@Huesito_sama]

I'm so sad that intro of Rabbit's POETRY is not on the official album, it's absolutely beautiful. Brought me to tears.

[@SchizoSchematic]

It seems like Rabbit tends to malfunction a lot more when she's distressed; her movements become a lot jerkier and more robotic, and her ticks and twitches seem to multiply. And to keep that up while belting it out, damn Bunny is an impressive performer!

[@wendythephoenix79]

Idk why, but Rabbit's malfuction didn't break my heart quite as much as watching her at 4:54 to 5:08, where she tried to embrace the air and opened her eyes, only to realize nothing was there... I wanted to give her a hug so badly... Still, great video. Hatchworth, you're getting a lot better at moving like a robot! Can't wait to see more! Out of curiosity, are there gonna be music videos for the songs on the MK III album?

[@isaiahsea3248]

she, her? what?????

[@sunnysea24]

Isaiah Sea The lead in this song, Rabbit, is a trans woman. This is still her old "male" design, but it's respectful to still use someone's new pronouns even in the past tense.

[@rainingwhenidie]

Isaiah Sea shes trans (male to female) this performance was pre-transition, but it’s generally more respectful to refer to her with her up to date pronouns. Kinda like how if someone changes their name, you don’t keep calling them by their old one

[@bowlofnuggets]

@@Gretsch0997 how can you be so angered by this

[@lazites]

Ima buy the crap outta this DVD!!!

[@leslietextor3753]

I really appreciate having SPG videos. I have watched almost all of them several times. Now I'm focusing on one member at a time in the video. There is so much to assimilate and enjoy.

[@Skullad]

You know a band is getting bored of performing a song when they change it up so much during a concert. Love this interpretation though. Threw me for a loop and had me smiling the whole time listening to all the new sounds and harmonies.

[@volleybanger2000]

I just discovered this group and song. I’m obsessed.

[@chaoticsneeze775]

This honeybee sounds so sad compared to some of the other live performances :,( Im not crying you’re crying

[@Mattwest1985]

Man, live is even better. The baseline is crazy and the harmonies are even crazier! These guys are def underrated.

[@Roxor41]

Still enjoying it years later.

[@BarelyPerfect]

This version sounds so much better than the recording

[@pariswilliams7623]

Agreed

[@ToreadorAmber]

I still can't belive I met you guys and talked to you and took photos with you and ahmahgahd Q.Q I am totaly your biggest fan in Sweden, still!

[@EVILVAMPKITTY]

I was so in shock from being able to go to this when I went that I didn't even notice rabbit's dancing with one invisible honeybee at 4:47! *the feels!* thank you so much for posting this!

[@Breeziix33]

I literally got everyone I know hooked on this song. Literally everyone. This is still the most beautiful song out there. I love the passion I love it all. Thank you for creating this. beyond perfect, beyond beautiful.

[@shadow98ization]

oh man i just fell in love with steam powered giraffe again

[@gforceforever]

This is my favorite rendition of Honeybee. This song haunts me daily. I never thought I was crazy.

[@LittleMissJesse]

This will always, always, be my favorite SPG song. Every time you.perform it it just gets better. Keep it up guys!

[@vaughnwinter1759]

I WISH that at SOME point in the near future, they would come somewhere near VT!!!

[@GarageBeverages]

this is the best version I have seen of this song. So wonderful with the sweetly sung into...

[@TheBigtony209]

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Hope you have a great day with lots of love! Enjoy this amazing love song that's perfect for today!

[@coltbolt101]

Wow haven't listened to them in years. Didn't know they got this big, awesome!!

[@Karlfalcon]

Best version yet.

[@allenbrooksoffical]

Amazing

[@theaussieburwoodboy9943]

Its......... Just..... Musical..... Perfection........ AT ITS BEST..... LOVE THE...... S.P.G ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

[@EnderKingDubs]

You know, this song is truly beautiful all around, but I find the line, "I let myself go" particularly significant. Sure, the robots are supposed to be over a century old, and the general implication of the song is the Rabbit had fallen in love with a human and lost them because the robots are supposed to be unaging, but they're not immortal. I think the song highlights the inevitability that the robots will, themselves, eventually die. They rust, fall apart, time passes, and even with constant maintenance from the Walter Workers, eventually they'll fall apart and cease to function, essentially ending their lives. If they were to ever end the band (God forbid), it seems logical that that is how they would end the story of the robots. I can honestly picture Rabbit singing this song to themself in their final moments as their systems finally give out and their gears seize up.

[@abraneveah5677]

How dare you give me these emotions

[@cryptid4300]

Why 😭

[@rlin2648]

That bass guitar is on point. Love this song.

[@pinaklada]

Love this song! What gorgeous voices!

[@vaughnwinter1759]

The first bit they added is new, so that threw me out of some SERIOUS WACK. My confession, I sing in the shower...

[@Donafell]

cant get enough of that intro O_O

[@UnGudGaming]

I think these guys are absolutely awesome, and that they go beyond the realm of sheer talent. I share these videos every chance I get because they seem to enjoy entertaining the crowd the same if not more than the crowd enjoys the shows. Kudos guys.

[@peinoftheakatsukiXx]

I love this version...but nothing can beat the Music Video. The music video is what actually introduced me to SPG. And hearing this song always seems to bring a tear to my ear. Thank you Steam Powered Giraffe.

[@melancholybobbyjoe]

I love their voices so much. They sound great harmonized. I showed my dad and he liked em too.

[@Bigtire100]

Great song in 2020

[@Shoshii]

4:57: Haha silly Rabbit who are y- 5:03 *cries*

[@MrVexeon]

Lydia xxx I legit teared up at that

[@celebitto7869]

Gotta be honest...... I didn't expect at to get me.

[@rosannelobaton6657]

I don't get it

[@joelallo119]

He was faking dancing with someone and realized no one was there anymore

[@jordangrob358]

Even worse when you realized he dropped his heart after they were gone : )

[@vecc]

Amazing.

[@Trigger_Chap]

3:09 You 'kay there, Rabbit? :o I was hoping for Hatchy to say 'I didn't do it' or something xD

[@matheuss488]

PERFECT!

[@accountisntinuse5895]

This song (the whole band) Is so amazing... I love you guys so much, and everytime I listen to your songs, I smile; because you guys are amazing. You bring something into the world, that no one else could.. You bring entertainment, music, and art into this world. And now a days many people use auto tune, but you guys have your own amazing talent... I am so grateful that I have KZbin at my finger tips, because I could not go on without you guys. :) Steam Powered Giraffe; you guys are truly amazing.

[@WolfShroom]

Bois3girl 3000 I take it you're a fan?

[@pariswilliams7623]

Like if u cry evry time :_(

[@gamechanger-pb2ol]

i hope one year steam powered giraffe come to the uk

[@kielysarah727]

they actually are in August this year!!

[@olive.shmolive]

this is a phenomenal performance

[@themizz1143]

I just found this band tonight! I’m fucking obsessed

[@danteel5489]

Such an amazing group!

[@radio6062]

i've definitely listened to this song 100+ times before, but this performance is making my sob like a baby all over again, like the first time i heard it. my good golly gosh.

[@ctarsund]

Hatchworth seeing him start to malfunction he was like " he's gonna blow ." 😀😁😀😃

[@daphne5302]

And then he ran away, omg. Id be hatchworth in that situation. And spine is just "again rly?"

[@ctarsund]

They are good at their craft.

[@daphne5302]

Seriously. Its gotta be a little embarrasing to pull that off.

[@ctarsund]

I think it's interesting. i can imagine it would be pretty difficult to play a guitar smoothly and still move in a mechanical fashion.

[@daphne5302]

I can't even play a guitar without moving mechanically

[@outreetnoemi217]

I remembered when I first head them sing this at the zoo a few years back. I fell in love. Glad to see you guys are growing! Way to go

[@Shade_-go3hh]

bunny's malfunction is cute

[@OmgHeyMey]

I'm so happy to see an updated version of the song! Beautiful.

[@Whispy360]

That miming at the very end. Chills!!

[@21483023589644]

YES! Wow, I couldn't hear Hatchworth playing live, and was vexed as to why he crept over to that side. Thank ya'll for uploading this - I think I may assume this means the release of the DVD is imminent, in which case I must prepare to throw my money at you.

[@HandsomeJezdaNikki]

So very awesome!! thank you!! Makes me cry every time. So beautiful.

[@viggosmiles9496]

I So love our planet with these guys in it

[@1crossberg]

I seriously can't stop watching this. My favorite song, so much better live than on the album...and the album rocks. SPG rocks my socks lol. Love this band sooo much

[@SweetHealingTouch]

I don't know if I'll ever get enough of this song. And the stage act makes it even better!!!

[@CaptEoNinja83]

I LOVE how they all harmonize!

[@NikkiHart14]

Please come to the UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DeltaTrolls]

Made me miss The Jon a tad :'(

[@tylerbryson642]

Meh, Hatchworth is better. ;)

[@VictorianKTV]

Tyler Bryson Better? They are different... Both, pure perfection ♥ ;)

[@flyhighpizzapie]

Tyler Bryson Hatchworth is off key throughout the song though...

[@KajTaotsu]

flyhighpizzapie I want to believe it's part of his character. Hatchworth, in any of the videos Ive seen so far, seems to have a few gears or wires mismatched and is a bit clueless for certain things.

[@wardogthemasterofwar]

I think the jon does their old songs like honeybee and brass goggles a better than hatchworth, he never seems to be on key. Though they're both really good in their own rights.

[@levimiller7629]

I love that mechanical breakdown! Cracks me up! So much talent in this band!

[@Shade_-go3hh]

i love this song so much

[@charliebelleville4846]

Can't wait to see than in april

[@vegasvampire66648]

This song NEVER gets old!!!

[@pr0grammcsynth797]

I can not wait until there is footage of Post-Chassis Change Rabbit in concert. I don't know if they're gonna reach Tampa/Orlando any time soon and I'd love to see her.

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

The harmonizing in this group is absolutely incredible.

[@battyangel]

This is one of my all time favorite songs - and the concert looks fantastic :D

[@CosplayManiaa]

Ugh. Absolutely stunning. Just like every one of your songs and performances

[@Drjelly606]

I favourited this video before it even started. And oh dude. Oh man this is amazing. Please keep on making music guys, this made me cry

[@PeacefulPagoda]

Hell. Yes.

[@ms_bizarre]

Great!

[@geloofinmolko]

When I saw this at WRX it made me cry so much! & then when Rabbit was dancing w/the ghost I was full out bawling. Really an amazing performance!

[@Madmattermatrix]

Ive fallen in love all over again for the umpteenth time

[@THEELMUNDODOJOSE]

hear this song make´s me want to fall in love... so... what do you say spine? ,:)

[@alexfinnboy26]

This is one of my favorite songs, this song is too good for me to like a lot. Very great job on Honeybee

[@FrozenPhilosopher]

Goodness Bunny what an opening for the song! Love love love it!

[@erickirkley71]

This band is beyond talented. Thanks for making such awesome music.

[@toszai]

i love you guy!!!!!!!

[@gmegan8937]

awesome

[@ChaotixLx]

Today was so crappy for me. But coming home to see this in my sub-box. This video and song just overall made my day

[@DreamEatinDonuts]

One of my favorite songs of all time, this was great!

[@macpakinga94]

please come to New Zealand.:-):-):-)

[@greenecrayon]

this is my favorite song... it just resonates

[@greenecrayon]

nope, not at all, though to be fair, I'm a brand new fan.

[@EpicRandomNerd]

My favorite version yet!

[@alaskawinter923]

Really like this version of the song.

[@balvyllaere]

Such a joy to watch!!
