This is the title track off of our debut album. It's big, and epic, and sad, and for my Grandpa.

Weeping Willow

This is our fun, dancing 'ska' song. It's dedicated to my boss, who plays in a ska band called Woodblind. And it's about not going into work... don't worry he likes this song.

Woodblind

This one is cute and fun, and swingin'! We had fun recording this with a special guest clarinet player and friend of ours, Randy Lee.

I've Been Thinkin'

This is one of our xylophone features. And it's about not becoming a sorry-sad-sack-of-shit, in an uplifting kind of way. Life's too short.

No Sad Song

A piece based around the marimba that's been cut into three parts for this album. In short, it's about ALIENS and SPACE STUFF, yep. It tells the story of a star and the life on it's surrounding planets. It all emerges from a single vibration, the primordial sound, which is then woven into something wonderful. Life begins to flourish and with that conflict ensues. The life forms are visited by different beings, and what was meant to be a peaceful encounter turns ugly. The alarms sound! War follows. Then there is an evacuation to a sister planet where hope is restored. A new home is found and out of the sadness comes happiness... yep, it's about aliens and space stuff.

Brief History of a Star (album intro)

The Cuckoo Bees are an eclectic indie band. They sound cute, artsy, fartsy, sometimes creepy, and always full of energy! You should see them live sometime, and of course, listen here. And support by buying their stuff!
