another great time. loving the vocal harmonizing 

Dang catchy.  Sweet, sophi-pop.  Nice sound!

Such a beautiful indie song! amazing production also

I love "The Final Sting". I use the production as a guide for my own songs. Your vocals are wonderful. Keep up the great work.

sure the songs are reminiscent but they're also delightful!

just a reminder Pop is NOT a four letter word (it's three l,l,l)

The Final Sting
Words and Music by Ian Ash

Now that the summer has come and gone
Your love has up and died
It feels like a forlorn love song
That eats you up inside

I planned to give you my all, my everything
But then you went and gave the final sting

Sure as the sun sets on your best
I'll be on my way
I ain't gonna wait around until I drown
I'll catch the next wave

And see what new love tomorrow may bring
Hope I already felt the final sting

And though I tried my best to stay on track
I hope you know that I'll be back 
And stronger than I ever was before
When you knocked on my door

Now that the summer has come and gone
Your love has up and died
It feels like a forlorn love song
Spits you out alive

I planned to give you my all, my everything
But then you went and gave the final sting

To think last summer I'd given you my ring
And now I must endure the final sting

There's an undeniable scent of nostalgia in the air. Our distraction-filled digital lives have us craving something that is organic, real and spontaneous.

The Last Bees was a spontaneous experiment that soon took on a brand of its own. Ian Ash was inspired by the Led Zeppelin throwback of Greta Van Fleet, and the 60's throwback of artists like JD McPherson, Megan Trainor and Pokey LaFarge. One cold winter in early January, Ash finished recording “Can't Wait” at his home studio in Wisconsin. It was a track with an early Beatles approach, fitting, as Ash is a self-proclaimed Beatles geek with a vocal resonance resembling John Lennon. 

Ian buzzed down to Chicago to play the track for his manager, who posited the question- how about making a collection of songs like this?!...

So, Ash went back to his hive and did just that. He wrote, produced and arranged songs that hark back to a time not so different from our current culture; a time when people also needed positive, uplifting release from the vicissitudes of a world changing so quickly.

The melodies were sweet as honey, but the vocals and instruments had an edge that stung like a bee. And thus, The Last Bees was born.
