Nb Nakita  "So True"

The third in this set of Bandcamp EPs finds Honey Smugglers at Bark Studio in Walthamstow in the Autumn of 1990 during initial sessions for a follow up to the `Listen' EP. As it turns out we recorded a different set of songs for the `Closer' EP in early 1991.

Each of the first three songs were longstanding stage favourites and could be heard in most Smugglers setlists. `Anybody But You' embodies the Smugglers groove as well as any of their tunes and check out the spontaneous studio magic as Steve kick starts the piece on an Organ with a mind of its own.

`Pie In The Sky' appeared in live form on an album recorded at The Sausage Machine in Hampstead, (`Now That's Disgusting Music') but this is the studio version. In a gigging situation we used to see how long we could extend the gap in the middle before people would start clapping, but here....just an uneasy, digital silence.

`Beautiful People' was played in a number of arrangements throughout the band's career, this perhaps being the best and most concise. The improvised vocal coda at the end by Chris assures this version's place as first choice. It was a first take vocal.

The final track `Whole Wide World' was a unique cover version which was only ever played this once. It was part of a planned Fiction Records sampler which never happened. It didn't even cross our minds to play it live, great song though it is, I guess we had too many of our own songs vying for position in a setlist of ten.

Anybody But You

Alone

The Wave

Haunting” is a gothic, flamenco-infused dirge that blends elegance with despair. Spanish guitar melodies twist through shadows, wrapping around lyrics that echo suffocation, torment, and beauty entwined. The repetition of “tighter and tighter / lighter and lighter” becomes a mantra, a hypnotic pull into oblivion, where horror and harmony coexist.

This track shows Ethereal Siren at their most raw and refined, minimal yet powerful, vulnerable yet transcendent. “Haunting” is not just a song; it’s a ritual of sound, a requiem dressed in black lace, where anguish is turned into art.

Lyrics:

i thought you told me when
the simple things pretend 
you’d take me under
we fell right under 

and i watched your mouth when you talked
about the simple things
i guess it was the little things 

i thought you told me when
the simple things pretend 
we’d take each other 
we’d fall right under 

and i felt at home when you talked
about the simple things 
i guess it was the little things 

yeah you felt like home
now i’m home sick

yeah you felt like home

yeah you felt like home 
now i’m home sick 

yeah you felt like home 

i thought you told me when
the simple things pretend 
you’d take me under
we fell right under

yeah you felt like home 
now i’m home sick

yeah you felt like home

Felt Like Home
