Girls Gather 'Round (Retrospect)

If you had stopped by the studio when Bye Beneco was recording its debut full-length earlier in 2014, you
would have stumbled on a scene littered with clues about what Space Elephant would eventually sound
like.
Softly sparkling fairy lights. Persian carpeting with a piling so plush you could easily sink into it. A splayed
out traditional Japanese Wagasa umbrella. And, at the heart of it all, a shrine to Mexican artist Frida
Kahlo with a dimly lit world globe as its centerpiece.
It was the perfect setting for the creation of a defiant, South African-hewn flag bearer for music that defies
easy categorisation; for an album that’s at once welcoming and inviting, and explosively experimental
and thrilling.
Those who have been following Bye Beneco since the Johannesburg-based band emerged in 2013
will know that creating a debut album that falls outside simple catch-alls like Indie-Folk or Indie-Pop is
befitting for this musical collective.
Through a growing slate of live performances (including Oppikoppi 2013) and gripping videos (“On
The Line”), Bergen Nielson (drums, guitar), Lenny-Dee Doucha (vocals, guitar), Jenny Dison (vocals,
percussion) and Matthew Watson (drums, percussion, guitar) have emerged as willing to explore sounds
and words without constraint.

Another Noon

🎶 Mangoes in December 


[Verse 1]
You walked in with no warning
Like sunshine on a Monday grey
Didn't know my own forecast
'Til your light just changed the day
You talk like wine at brunch
So smooth and full of charm
And I laughed so hard at nothing
It felt safe inside your arms

[Pre-Chorus]
You're a wrong time turned right
A song I didn’t know I liked

[Chorus]
You're mangoes in December
Sweet when it should be cold
Like dancing in a sweater
Or barefoot by the fire’s glow
You're a postcard from a place
That I’ve never seen before
You're mangoes in December—
And baby, I just want more

[Verse 2]
I’d sworn off sweet things, honest
Got tired of all that pain
But you showed up with your laughing eyes
Now I love the taste of fate
You don’t bring me flowers
Just old records and cheap red wine
But it feels like something golden
I’ve been missing all this time

[Pre-Chorus]
You're out of season, out of line
But baby, you fit just fine

[Chorus]
You're mangoes in December
A breeze in heavy snow
Like humming at a funeral
Or sparklers in the rain, aglow
You're that line in a love song
That makes the old feel new
You're mangoes in December—
And I’m all in on you

[Bridge]
They say joy don’t last forever
But I won’t waste this taste
If it's stolen from the summer
Let it go to waste—on me

[Final Chorus]
You're mangoes in December
A sunbeam through the rain
Like gold beneath the ashes
Or jazz that knows my name
You're a little out of reason
But baby, you're just right
You're mangoes in December—
And I'm eating good tonight

[Outro – optional, spoken or whispered]
Mangoes in December…
Didn’t know I needed sweet…
‘Til you brought summer to my street.

Mangoes in December

Played around with this great MIA (via The Clash) tune in rehearsal one day, so decided to dust off the banjo and record the Appalachian version. Just sayin.

I guess the mornings good for leaving
I guess I'll try to tell you why
I guess we lost ourselves believing that we could chase the sky
That we could chase the sky

Do you see the shadows dance before us
Do you feel this love melt just like snow
Do you hear the ravens fly and call out the end 
Well they've got me waiting on the breeze like it's my only friend

And it goes like this if we never let it fall
And we'll always wish that we had have made a call
With a heart like this you can never have it all
Till it all comes back with a wrecking ball

You said the mornings good for leaving
You tried to smile and tell me why
You said I'd lost myself dreaming while you went to say goodbye
Did you mean to say goodbye

I think your shirts still in the hallway
I think your songs still in my fist
A cry of shame has got me tied to the hall 
And I stay here silent starring at the open door

And it goes like this if we never let it fall
And we'll always wish that we had have made a call
With a heart like this you can never have it all
Till it all comes back with a wrecking ball

Can't you hear the highway calling out
I tried to let you know
Can't you fell the sky way falling down
I've got to let you know
Leaving left a thorn in every kiss
I could not feel before
I could never hold a heart like this 
I'm lost starring at the open door

Trying to hold you is like trying to fire a pistol in the dark, missed your mark and now your running from the world again
I can't control you and I won't retrace our steps back to the start, you shot the heart out of this love and now where all the same
I know I want to know you but I don't know if I want to play the part to shut you out when I see compromises that i can't comprehend and I want to show how this cold wind and the highways left a mark, got me waiting on the breeze like its my only friends

And it goes like this if we never let it fall
And we'll always wish that we had have made a call
With a heart like this you can never have it all
Till it all comes back with a wrecking ball

And it goes like this if we never let it fall
And we'll always wish that we had have made a call
With a heart like this you can never have it all
Till it all comes back with a wrecking ball
