There may be additionally a way of stubbornness at play between each central characters, and in flip, the best way they function on the earth that radiates from the tune’s foreboding lyrics. That features how they transfer in relationships, creatively, and for their very own well-being. Within the studio—as evidenced by the recording of “Honeycomb,” and, in fact, its lyrics—each events have been adamant about their inventive inputs to the purpose the place they clashed arduous earlier than they have been capable of clean issues over. Each Daisy and Billy are robust personalities that dwell by an unyielding notion that their genius wants nobody else to succeed, and the scene the place they document the band’s first hit single is a good instance of that.
