Honeydew

from Superbloom by Lauren Hulbert

about

I wanted to capture the sweetness of uncomplicated new love that feels effortless and innocently childlike. When someone feels like the perfect fit with room to easily grow together and the excitement that goes along with that potential. I think what stands out most about this recording is the effective use of accompaniment for translating those emotions into sounds; the synth in particular permeates my mind and sense of touch with a magical essence.

I wrote this song while living with my ex-boyfriend in Ecuador. We had rented an apartment in Quito with an incredible view down a mountain valley. After traveling together for months, I think I was happy to be in one place, making a temporary home, in our own space, with a nice, friendly neighbor and a little bodega at the end of our alleyway. It was a really cute spot. We got to make a little life for ourselves. We had a lot of hope for our future together and I remember that feeling really good.

The song reflects that feeling of hope and starting each day fresh: “Honeydew first light of dawn. Start anew. A day is born. Honey, do you love me? Like the dew wash over me and I will bloom for you.”

lyrics

Honeydew, first light of dawn
Start anew, a day is born
Honey, do you love me?
Like the dew wash over me
And I will bloom
For you
I will bloom
For you

I love things that I dream of
To me, come
Come to me, my love

Daffodil, your pedal bloom
Sun awaits you in your room
Honeybee, fit perfectly
Turn me into something sweet
And I will bloom
For you
I will bloom
For you

I love things that I dream of
To me, come
Come to me, my love

I love you when you write
I love you when you write
I love you when you rise
I love you, Morning Light
