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
Crying Over You ◐
Honne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't mean to cause me pain
You don't mean to do much but it's one and the same
I don't know where this came from
I thought we were plain sailing
This has taken me aback and it goes without saying
Yeah I'm gonna feel broken for a bit
Life's gonna be a little bit shit
We had our flaws I'll be the first to admit
And we both struggled to commit
Ohh, was it really that bleak?
And I don't know why I've been crying over you
For the life of me, I wish that I knew
And I don't know, just how much more I can go through
Man oh man I wish I knew, I've been crying over you
I don't mean to be a problem
I don't mean to cause you pain
Don't wanna break it up but, there's no other way
You're not the only one who's hurting
Or who's finding this hard
But you gotta admit that we're drifting apart
Look we're gonna feel broken a bit
And it's gonna be a little bit shit
But you'll find the strength when you're weak
You'll find a love when you least expect it
It could be any minute
So don't fight the tears on your cheek
And I don't know why I've been crying over you
For the life of me, I wish that I knew
And I don't know, just how much more I can go through
Man oh man I wish I knew, I've been crying over you
I've been crying over you
Don't mean to cause me pain
I've been crying over you
You may be the one hurting
And though I can't say when
I know love will find its way again, way again
And I don't know why I've been crying over you
For the life of me, I wish that I knew
And I don't know, just how much more I can go through
Man oh man I wish I knew, I've been crying over you
Man oh man I wish I knew, I've been crying over you
Man oh man I wish I knew, I've been crying over you

And though I can't say when
I don't know when
I know love will find its way again, way again
I'm confident love will come back into your life
Man oh man I wish I knew, I've been crying over you
I just wish I understood why I'm so upset

I love how the female part actually comforts the man by assuring that he will find love again. I think that emphasizes the fact breakup is inevitable between them and shows a healthy way to end the relationship, unlike most breakup song MV where the relationships would end abruptly after the couple had a nasty fight and never talk to each other again. It's much more relatable and doesn't encourage the idea to hang onto the thought of the person obsessively. The two people in the video don't blame each other, and both acknowledge the time it needs for them to move on from the pain.
This made me cry.
@sprout_gen
i totally agree. this is a great break up song
@kah0ng6992
