Drake and Frank Ocean are obvious comparisons to Honneβs lo-fi, synth-heavy soul, but Andyβs voice has the unfinished edges of Bon Iver or James Blake, rather than the crooner smoothness of Bill Withers or DβAngelo. 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 Nβ Roses, giving a bizarre, but welcome, late-Eighties feel
Gone Are The Days
Honne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No looking back from here on in
Let's move you on to better things
'Cause you deserve more than you think
Forget everything you're told
There's greener grass and denser gold
Maybe I should bite my tongue
But I can't seem to fight it
And gone are the days you're used to (gone are the days)
Say goodbye to the man who used you, oh
And if you've never felt
This way before
I'll show you girl
What you've been waiting for
I can free your mind
Help you lose control
'Cause now's the time
To show you girl
You'll come out the other side
You will hold your head up high
If he could only see you now
oh, he'd see how far you've passed him
And gone are the days you're used to (gone are the days)
Say goodbye to the man who used you
And if you've never felt
This way before
I'll show you girl
What you've been waiting for
I can free your mind
Help you lose control
'Cause now's the time
To show you girl
And gone are days you're used to
Say goodbye to the man who used you
I'll treat you the best to soothe you
No, and anything less just won't do
And if you've never felt
This way before
I'll show you girl
What you've been waiting for
I can free your mind
Help you lose control
'Cause now's the time
To show you girl
Gone are the days
Gone are the days
Gone are the days
Gone are the days

I have been commenting on some music by HONNE lately and has eventually bought me back to this song, I think it only right to say this was the first of your songs that I had listened and connected to many years ago, i felt like this is exactly how i wanted to treat the one i love. Eventually after meeting my wife, I helped her forget her past and move on to better days. I helped her gain confidence and strength knowing that gone are the days that he hurt and used her, and helped move her on to better things. Forgive the lyric referencing, i just have a BIG connection to this song for the rest of my life. Beautiful talent you guys have!
Lou Brlrd
Magic, just like all the others! Love you Honne! Keep making such beautiful songs !!
