This song is basically the 'sequel' to the book Candor.
After I read the book (it was absolutely amazing by the way) I was left hanging and decided to google: "explain the ending of Candor, by Pam Bachorz" and the author herself had posted on a website "honeybee by Zee Avi will explain the ending perfectly." And it soooo does!!!!! Beautiful!!!!!
From Zee Avi's Myspace: ” ‘Honey Bee’ is about a romance between two nonconformists who are different from the rest of the hive, and are trying to avoid the pressure to be like everybody else.”

Listen I love bright eyes, i think conor oberst is the bob dylan and yes this does sound a little like first day of my life but this song is pretty damn good, i love it
It's folk music man, there's probably 3000 folk songs with that exact same progression. Unlike bright eyes though, she doesn't go to the d7 on the second pass.
