Bees Left the Trees - Sugar & the Hi Lows

Bees Left the Trees - Sugar & the Hi Lows
3:32
High Roller, 2015
Written by Amy Francis Stroup

A throwback-style band that should not be so obscure.  This song is a toe-tapping folk-rockabilly number that drops names of its influences: "I need some Jack some Johnny some Emmylou / And the ghost of the man in the blue suede shoes."  The narrator, with a mishmash of imagery, seems to be preaching pride in yourself as you are.  "Cause the wings get dirty / Don′t mean they don′t fly."  And "Cause the bees left the trees / Doesn′t mean there ain't honey inside."
