By first light, Honeywagon had a mission and quickly found an untapped reservoir of Hollywood-celebrity types who were sympathetic to the bluegrass cause. After an undisclosed amount of recording gear, studio time, and various culinary delights from a plethora of Mexican eateries around LA, the CD was done. "Grass Stains: a bluegrass tribute to Blink 182" was unleashed upon the unsuspecting public.
Underground parties soon followed in Eagle Rock, Silver Lake, Pasadena, Covina, Santa Monica, Beechwood Canyon, Malibu Canyon, Runyon Canyon, 90210, South Central, the "OC", and the Inland Empire. Honeywagon ripped up the Sunset Strip playing The House of Blues, The Hard Rock Cafe, and other glamorous places with appropriately pretentious names.
The next CD came out soon afterward: "Green Day, Blue Grass: a bluegrass tribute to Green Day". This one quickly hit the Billboard Bluegrass charts and stayed on it for over 70 weeks! Right behind Alison Krauss and Nickel Creek. All this without radio play, press reviews, tour support or live shows! How?! Welcome to the underground. We're glad you're here. Pass it along.
Bryan moved to Nashville, Loren and Mo joined a popular commercial country band and hit the road. Was the band breaking up after their first success? Not even!
The boys grew closer together! They still found time to record, dump girlfriends, celebrate weddings, buy gear, play shows, eat tacos, dump girlfriends, etc. - you know, life.
Which brings us to the current CD: "Songs from Neverland: a Bluegrass Tribute to Michael Jackson". In this record, the boys have taken some of their favorite MJ songs and have done them the way only Honeywagon can - serious musicianship with an endearing sprinkle of humor and tenderness.
Time of Your Life
Honeywagon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
I hope you had the time of your life
