Honey Moon, 2009
Written by Brett Sparks and Rennie Sparks
A stately and unusually lighthearted song from the long-running, gloomy alt-country band. Brett Sparks, in his honeyed baritone, asks the titular birds, perched above an overpass, "take me with you when you go." He asks the same thing of the geese and dandelion seeds, even "All you paper cups rolling down the windy street." There's no action in this song, only longing. Over a plaintive steel guitar, slightly offbeat but tender images float from Sparks' aw-shucks, golden voice.
