I'm interested in reading the lyrics whilst listening. Any chance you post it via the song-description?

great when the bass comes in, most enjoyed. Superb songwriting

Pony Tail

Released on June 4th, the second single from Nova Soon's forthcoming home-recorded sophomore LP is 'Telling The Bees': a dark, minor-bluesy, alt-country shuffle, propelled by jazzy double bass, handclaps & descending guitar riffs. Inspired by the titular tradition — where beekeepers would whisper secrets to their hives, hoping the bees would one day lead them safely to heaven in exchange — the lyrics follow a city girl called Holly on her odyssey through a mythic countryside where 'the river listens' & 'the shadows frown', all to eavesdrop on a local preacher's hiveside confession. Before we discover what he whispered, or why it 'made her blood freeze', a ghostly outro of piano, trombones & synth pads sweeps both Holly & the listener away — 'down to paradise'.

LYRICS:

Holly took a train from the edge of town, out where the river listens and the shadows frown. She'd heard about the telling of the bees: a country tradition older than memory. Keepers sneak out from their sons and wives, once every quiet evening of their quiet lives, and speak their secrets to the humming hives; to buy safe passage down to paradise. You don't wanna go to heaven all alone; that prairie in the fog; God knows who you might meet. You don't wanna go without a chaperone: the queen and all her drones guiding your feet. Keep telling the bees. Telling the bees. Holly took a light from the slaughterhouse, crept through some darkened gardens to the chapel grounds, and heard the preacher whisper to his bees: a gentle confession that made her blood freeze. You don't wanna go to heaven all alone; that prairie in the fog; God knows who you might meet. You don't wanna go without a chaperone: the queen and all her drones guiding your feet. Keep telling the bees. Telling the bees. Keep telling the bees. Tell those bees. Telling the bees. Sha la la la la la, down to paradise. Sha la la la la la, down to paradise.

Telling The Bees

Sometimes I just wanna make music for myself, without involving any foreign species. So I began this track alone in my room. I just closed the door. Suddenly the door says: "Why didn´t you ever ask ME and my folk, the doors, to make music with you?! My friend the backdoor and me would like to play along to this track. Hurry, let´s do it!"
So what could I do? It´s not good to have trouble with your doors...

Delete

better days

A wistful looks at a broken down relationship, with the dawning realisation that the other person never really loved you. Set against the backdrop of 2020, the song carries more weight when you realise it isn’t about one breakup - it’s about breaking up with the whole world.

What Makes You Think

Lyrics by Mo
Inertia

Oh, how it does me sad
your recurring play of social rat
good lucky years you had
Abundance did fed you fat

Oh, how it does me sad
your recurring play of social rat
Fathered many kids you get
But know, whats drives me mad
Fathered many kids you get
But know, whats drives me mad

If resources running low you pray
forgotten love gives way gives way
forgotten love gives way
gives way

egoism fun whats count you say
provoke aggressions that will stay
egoism fun whats count you say
provoke aggressions that will stay
gives way
Comes bloody, not just may
Comes bloody, not just may

gives way

Don't pretend surprised actor
how nature solves this crowd factor
Makes no sense try to track her
and abuse won't stop her time reactor
no no
 Oh, how it does me sad
your recurring play of social rat
Comes bloody, not just may
Comes bloody, not just may

again she'll work
as crowd rat ejector
again she'll work
as crowd rat ejector

again she'll work
as crowd rat ejector
Oh daddy, not just may
Come daddy, let`s are play
Come daddy, let`s are play
Gives way

Just got hold of a second voice for Emvoice the voice synthesizer.  Meet Jay, their first male vocalist.  Lucy is on backing duties for this one.  Not exactly a polished track, and a duffer of a cover.  Hopefully I'll get time to address both of those things at a later date.

Lyrics below for anyone interested.


Weather making news again.
Too much sun or too much rain.
Failing crops or rising floods,
Both mean more expensive goods.

Whether you believe or not,
Some folk have and some do not.
Where you're born and who you're born to,
Both decide the course you plot.

Chorus
All the fat cats getting fatter,
They're OK so we don't matter.
All the fat cats getting richer.
We're their bitch - you get the picture.

Migrants coming to our shores,
Willing to do menial chores.
Pay more tax, contribute greatly,
Asking 'why the tabloids hate me'?

Chorus

You will see signs every day,
proving fat cats still hold sway.
That won't change. There's one big problem.
Human nature's made that way.

All the fat cats
all the fat cats . . . .
