Song of the Day: Honeysuckle – It’s getting late

Posted on

Honeysuckle is a type of climbing vine or shrub with bright flowers and poisonous berries, in case you wanted to know. If three of said shrubs performed at the Newport Folk Festival, hippies might jump for joy, scientists could be similarly over-the-moon, and doomsday-preppers would turn-tail to stock their armoured trailers full of weedwackers. Sadly, only the part about them performing in Providence last year was true.

Just your plain’ole, progressive folksy humans from Boston, MA, Honeysuckle released their self-titled album earlier this year. The opener “It’s Getting Late” summarizes their approach quite well. Listen for the sweet yet honest three-part harmony. And the bright banjo that decorates the song like Hansel and Gretel’s bread crumbs, guiding you over the pessimistic lyrics to a hopefully cannibal-free ending.
