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
All In The Value
Honne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What goes up comes down you know
And I've been in a better place
A year ago at your love's embrace
I never thought that I could deserve you
I must admit that I wasn't like you
But given all the time that I gave you
I want you to really want me too
'Cause it's all in the value
I need you to really need me too
'Cause it's all in the value
I'm a great man and I know there's greater
I try sell myself but it doesn't matter
And you're a cool girl, they don't come cooler
Don't trade me in, not for something newer
I never thought that I'd have the nerve to
Tell you my world is crushed now without you
I want you to really want me too
'Cause it's all in the value
I need you to really need me too
Because it's all in the value
I can't wait to have you back to me
But you can't wait to see the back of me
What you running from?
Why you running girl?
I want you to really want me too
Because it's all in the value
I need you to really need me too
Because it's all in the value
I want you to really want me too
'Cause it's all in the value
I need you to really need me too
'Cause it's all in the value
"All In The Value" by Honne is a song about the ups and downs of a relationship, the value of love and the importance of feeling wanted and needed. The lyrics describe the singer's feelings of insecurity and doubt about his worthiness of his partner's love but also his realization that he cannot keep waiting for their approval. The song touches on the theme of self-worth and how it is measured by one's significant other. The chorus emphasizes the need for mutual feelings of desire and need in a relationship, as everything in love is about "the value."
The lyrics also reflect on the pain of losing a loved one and the desperate desire to get them back. They express the singer's hopelessness as his partner seems to be running away from him. In the end, he still wants her back, but he wishes that she also wants and needs him just as much. The song's honest and vulnerable lyrics show the complexity of love and the importance of communication and mutual feelings in a relationship.

I'm deeply in love of this album, I've been a listener for years. Every track has somehow fit in particular moments of my life and now "All In The Value" feels denser.
