Honey - Drugdealer

Honey - Drugdealer 
4:28
Raw Honey, 2019
Written by Michael Collins

Featuring the warm, golden folksinger vocals of Weyes Blood, this song is a warning to a wild, free spirit, possibly an artist, of charisma, surrounded by a coterie of people who whose love burns rather than warms.  It's a tale of lost innocence in the face of a corporate machine: "I know that you want to be free / And to be wild / And to be hugged just like a child / Money is the root of the game / The problem with fame / Is everyone going to lose their edge."  It's wrapped in a easy-going '70s soft-rock groove that belies the admonishing lyrics.
