Thrice - Black Honey [Official Video] 

yeah, his voice changed a lot. This band's been around forever, you won't recognize the vocalist in their songs from 10 years ago, it's like 2 different people. Check out "red sky" by them

alright cool.

Unless they do that in the live versions too, because he sounds pretty much the same live. =)

he sounds like kurt cobain

listen to the acoustic ver.!!

This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “City” by SLT 🌃🐺🤘🐺🌃

The 90s were the best. No doubt about that. Lots of memories!!!

yes for sure 90s forever man

I went to college from 92-96. Best years ever for live shows. $5 for Green Day. I want to see these guys and Highly Suspect. So does my 12 year old. Life is good.

Richie Herlinger Those were damn good times all around! People actually talked to each other face to face instead of being glued to a fucking phone!

dustin i so agree i've been bitching about the phone thing for years as well as online dating that's why i love going to shows you make concert friends that are cool as shit. then they bitch that kids are getting fat so i say do what i do make them do other things besides sitting on their butts playing games lol people have gotten ridiculous these days and this politically correct shit is annoying too i'm indian not native american my people were here looooong before it was called america just saying lol

You mean crisp rat

I literally thought the same thing haha Chris Pratt is the lead really the lead singer of thrice :o

Not before the Alchemy index.

The verses of the song are nuanced enough that they put up a sleight veil, before you know it, abuse and addiction run rampant before your eyes. This song holds no quarter, it ends with you.

Likewise brother.

Hell yeah man! This band has got everything. They speak about real meaning in their songs, they do it poetically, and their music is proportionally deep and effortful.

I know im so glad they are back I saw them at Riot fest last year live it was fuckin awesome!

***** They've been using awkward pop music for the longest time.

***** Ok. Let's put "We dem bois" over the promo package for the triple threat match and see how much sense that will make. What are you even talking about.

Yup, selfish adults not worrying about how it will affect the child and the child leaving this earth instead of being one of them when he grows up.

The hornet's Nest is the WORLD....

yep it was supposed to be that way. Passing on the next generation to follow the same path after they raped the world leaving consequences for the next generations. It was quoted by someone that Dustin said this song was about foreign policy and black-gold, i.e. oil. We keep trying to move into other nations and run them to get what we want and then wonder why we get attacked. In the U.S., no one's experienced having another nation police their streets like we do to others---and if they did, there'd be hell to pay attacking back. Put yourself in their shoes.

It’s about Americans hurting the world to get what they need for their life.

Thanks!

I didn't know that these were the lyrics. How profound.

Yeah, more specifically about the US aggressively pressing other countries for oil over and over again, resulting in terrorist attacks or other aggressive retaliation, before the US does it again, with the name of the song being a pretty heavy handed reference to oil

To everyone else… oil.

I rarely see somome interpret a song the same way as me but you have. You worded it perfectly, I cannot word, I can only draw lolol

@@crisbavosi895 I mean, yeah, I do think it works on both of these levels. It's a general description of lack of self-awareness and its consequences, especially the "I don't understand why they're stinging me" line. But of course, then there's the "following me across the sea, stinging my friends and family" part, which is definitely a description of what's really going on any time an American politician is on TV talking about why we supposedly need to have our military permanently deployed all over the damn planet 24/7.

bill x dude thats funny af.

"I just w-anted layers, but they all just fell a-part, so I reached for a-notherrr,"

I truly admire and respect your take on this song's underlying themes and presentation! Personally, as a Christian, I always took this to be a retelling of the story of Samson, ancient Israel's worst judge (and, as my youth pastor put, "the life well wasted"). He was chosen by God before he was even born to be a Judge of Israel (which, in terms of biblical narrative and Mosaic law) meant that you were among one of the most revered individuals in the country. You were responsible for the preservation of God's text, and handing out righteous and authoritative justice on the people who revered God. He was also the guy who, at every opportunity, screwed it all up. He married a woman from a culture that didn't revere the God of the Israelites, and during his wedding feast, gambled away the clothes of 300 men; only to turn around and burn their houses to the ground by tying torches to the tails of foxes and letting them loose. He then broke one of God's laws that he was taught to protect by eating honey from the stomach of a lion he had killed a few days ago (which, the titular Black Honey may be referring to - honeycomb stained with coagulated blood). He murdered an entire battalion of men with the jawbone of a donkey just because he knew he had the physical strength to do so, with complete disregard for the political consequences of killing the soldiers of a neighboring hostile empire. Next, as my youth pastor put it, he was so bad at his job as a judge of Israel that the author of the Book of Judges was instructed by God to not jot anything down from the time of the slaughter to the time Samson met Delilah! And of course, most familiar with this Bible story knows where it goes from there - Samson (presumably) slept around with Delilah, was wooed by her into giving up the secrets to his colossal strength, and was then shaved and blinded (which I think is what the singer is mirroring during the bridge of the song - his helplessness and vulnerability, FINALLY turning his blinded eyes to the Lord for what seems like the first time in ages). .....Only for his ego to once again strike as he brings down the temple the heathenous Philistines had built with his bare hands using strength he never thanked God for, and dying in the process, leaving the era of the Judges of Israel at an unfulfilled end prior to the time of Ruth, King David, King Solomon, and the Babylonian exile - hence why the song ends so unfulfillingly, with the singer sounding as though he has ultimately learned nothing from where he started; sounding weaker, but nonetheless prideful and selfish. At least, that's just what I get from this song. :)

i learned early on it had to do with feelings a vet might have but to me it always meant addiction. through my battle i heard this song multiple times. probably has no similarity but i hear it still none the less.

@@The1WithoutFear I like the interpretation, I also invite a deeper look into it in terms of theology and ethical philosophy This man blinded by pride was destructive in the name of his god, and each time he was, this was illustrated as something that he'd done wrong. It makes sense to me that a loving God, as god is, has no desire to see suffering in his name. To bring down a temple, a feat of strength as unnecessary as it is ridiculous

So many parallels to the situation in Palestine.

This is exactly what I just thought, listening to this song again. Thank you for speaking out my thoughts.

+rodriguez256 that's deep

Kid feels alienated. He's doing his best to pay attention to his family (nurture), but he's got ideas of his own (nature) and he's still young and innocent enough to question all the terrible things that people can do. The grown-ups do these things because they like the "pretty colors" (pinned butterfly analogy) and they want the honey that comes from the bee-hive (which also comes at a price). These adults mean well m, but they just can't seem to get it right. The kid abandons it in the end, but it's too late. The damage is done and he's sees all of the rotten bleeding fruit that we've managed to destroy, despite our good intentions (the invention of the gasoline powered car etc ---which he's been riding around in all this time). Maybe I'm off base on this, but I think it's a very well presented piece of contemplative art. I enjoy videos that allow you to project your interpretations. Well done.

listen to it while u think about our need for oil and what we do over there and the terrorism it brings here. every part of the song matches that theory quite well.

+evergreenjd I like the way you see it. I take the song personally just as most people do determining how you interpret it. I see it as somebody who is a rebel. Someone who will do anything to get what they want, and for some reason the bees keep stinging them (meaning that it backfires on them). In the end when it says they keep stinging my friends and my family is where it really hits home. It seems as though the bees (his past mistakes) are affecting the people around him, and he realizes that now. Over certain life events in my family, and a sister that had the mindset of I do what I want I do what I please and I'll do it again till I have what I need (need really meaning want). After many of her actions it affected us all as a family.

I liked telekinesis better

Better late than never friend.

Me as well and its dope af!!

Fr tho, my crush just told me about the song awhile ago

Same here and its awesome.

Condolences Clover. Stay strong.

Stay strong 💜

This was one of my boyfriend's favorite songs. He passed away unexpectedly in May of 2018. This is the first time I've listened to it since he passed...I find it oddly comforting. Stay strong...it gets easier with time. Never easy, just easier.

I'm just reading this now and see that you posted it 6 months ago, that's exactly when my father passed as well, your statement really struck a chord with me watching this just now

Stay strong...

It's certianly better than most of the drivel that has come out since the last 2000's that's for sure.

exactly!!

Profound is an extreme exaggeration. It's very straight forward with the lyrical message and it"s been confirmed by Thrice that it's about American interventionalism.

@@Mattress1996 Eh, the metaphor and writing is sharp and the delivery is blunt in a way which enhances rather than detracts from the delivery and the emotions it evokes. Profound and straight forward aren't oppositional so I don't see how the ease of comprehension is evidence for the description being an "extreme exaggeration".

fuckin A he did, right?! love it

Guys I can't wait for the record to be released, I'm super excited!

+Dimitris Vasileias me too, right??!!

Stacey Colson Hell yes!

+Dimitris Vasileias I listened to this song in my earbud today while working my high stress nurse manager job. I hold in so much angst. this song blasting I'm my ear made me feel so much better. fuck yeah!

thanks

True. But that is NOT what the video is about.

Well then explain how it's NOT about foreign policy/oil.

It may be about foreign policy, but it's a powerful song because it's also, maybe primarily, about the fundamental blindness of the greed in each one of us. Thrice makes powerful art because they always depict universal human emotions and struggles. This is not just a self-righteous blame-anthem, it is also a reminder that all of us as sinful individual human beings are responsible for the sins of our society.

+Zachary Meckley Its literally about a hooker he met named honey

Bro you've missed a lot. But catch up ,it's worth it.

Same here - like how have I never heard of them before? Been catching up on their stuff and I'm hooked

Connor Jinkins check out alchemy index double album

The Alchemy Index is definitely one of my favorite albums. Hands down a work of art.

Hoping their shows will get them into some of their other music. I never thought about that, how many people are gonna go to their show for black honey? This band is one of the best bands and hopefully people are receptive enough to realize something special other than something that reminded them of their hard rock favorites.

+Christopher Young I agree with you man, is something like this.

The branch with the oil-looking drops makes sense now!

+Not Debby The stuff dripping from the lemon branch is Black Honey, it falls from certain trees but is most commonly found from the interior of certain bee hives. However I think the resemblance of it looking like Oil is no mistake.

Blankface91 Ah, I should've figured with a title like that. Thanks for clearing that up! I also think it has to do with oil.

+Christopher Young Nice analysis.

lol

Or did you?....

Black Hiney brings you to this video..

Accident or wonderful discovery? lol

This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Seen\Unseen” by SLT 🎸🎧🤘

Thank you for pointing that out! I missed that the first time I watched it several years ago. Rewatching it today I realized the people in the car can represent the people through generations who passed down t he trauma and toxic behaviors they learned to the generations after him. And how the guy in the hat "cuts the branch from the cherry tree" by facing those childhood traumas in the orchard, by acknowledging them and making the choice to do *better*.

@Aahzsome I always took this as an incredibly subversive political song. Mainly about the US involvement overseas and how we never get it right and it comes back to bite us in the ass. But I love how music speaks to people in different ways and there's an interpretation I'd never even considered. Cheers!

@@CrankyOldDave Yeah, it was pointed out to me more recently that it is, in fact a very pointed song about USA in conflict in the Middle East. I don't think the two are opposites though. Similar to generational trauma in a family expressing itself through abuse (sometimes differently, sometimes in the way), so too does the US keep meddling overseas! Like each generation of policy makers failing to learn from the ones before them, convinced that 'this time they'll get it right', similar to the way each generation in a family with a history of abuse may tell themselves 'this time I'll get it right' about disciplining their children or being a good partner to a spouse, etc, except they might not realize they need extra help to really avoid falling into the same tar pit.

❤

Very beautiful & thanks for sharing. Nothing surprises me anymore. I feel it as well man.

♥️ I feel you on all of this so-called life

Speakin’ truth

Every time i see another broken soul in this broken world, it makes me want to change it even more, i want to change it and make everyone's dreams come true.. i want us to be part of the nature we are made of, want this life to have amazing adventures and meaninfullness for everyone... not the world slowly dying around us. No matter how i word this, it sounds hollow, but it is a daydream of mine.. depression shouldn't be something what we feel daily, it should be an exception. We are no machines. Try to focus on what you reached, look back and forgive yourself, because you always gave your best and you always chose the way which seemed best at the time. Your past self would not be sad about what you did instead of having those adventures, instead it would be proud of who you are today despite everything that happened and took your motivation and clear vision,... it is never too late, everyone has a meaning, even when it is just to have the right mindset. All those bad times will make the good times shine even brighter, they are yet to come. The spark which you feel is real. I have this spark and my past inside me as well, and after forgiving myself, the monotony faded, the meaninglessness faded, the grey world got a little bit colourful. And i see possibilities where there was hopelessness before. No one despite you yourself tells you what you have to do and how you treat yourself. Look at what you accomplished lately, with your own hands.. always keep the circumstances in mind, you, we all, we always give our best. I wish you the best. - Infy

Don't worry about anything. Just live for you. It scares the hell out of you, It did for me. You will be happier for it. Just live and keep going. Life is not perfect and it never will be. All any of us can do is keep living to the best possible way we can. Keep going! Live well!
