Drake and Frank Ocean are obvious comparisons to Honne’s lo-fi, synth-heavy soul, but Andy’s voice has the unfinished edges of Bon Iver or James Blake, rather than the crooner smoothness of Bill Withers or D’Angelo. Warm on a Cold Night is a cinematic piece of songwriting that builds from sparse snare drum beats to an infectious, grooving chorus with soaring synths. Demo track All in the Value features a guitar solo worthy of Guns N’ Roses, giving a bizarre, but welcome, late-Eighties feel
Treat You Right
HONNE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was out of character
And I hope that you will not go on to hate me
Can we go back to how we were?
I'm fragile at heart
And I find it hard
To express myself when you're around
Yeah you're goin' far
You don't ever need to put yourself down
Oh all I
All I wanna do is treat you right
Oh all I
All I wanna do is treat you right
Can we forget how I've been actin' lately?
It was not in my nature
And I hope that you will always want the same as me
To go back to how we are
You're fragile at heart
And you find it hard
To accept yourself when I'm around
You're a clever girl and you're smart
Yeah you're goin' far
You don't ever need to put yourself down
All I
All I wanna do is treat you right
Oh, all I
All I wanna do is treat you right
Oh, all I
All I wanna do is treat you right
Oh and as long as I'm here
There'll be nothin' to fear
You can be assured I'll treat you right
Oh all I
All I wanna do is treat you right
Oh all I
All I wanna do is treat you right
Oh all I
All I wanna do is treat you right
Oh and as long as I'm here
There'll be nothin' to fear
You can be assured I'll treat you right
