"Honey" is Sweet!
"Honey" Click to listen!
"Those who want to be rich are falling into temptation and into a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all evils, and some people in their desire for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains." I Tm 6:9-10
Here is the latest song from Mike McBride singing with Mark Lajoie, a product of those awesome recording sessions this year. Mark & Mike sing their heart out together. It's about somebody who needs some sweet salvation....It is quite tremendous! It's not explicit about our Faith, but it definitely implies the value of holiness. (For the first time there is a mild oath in one of our songs when it says, "you don't give a damn", but, with apologies to Rhett Butler, it seemed necessary.)
Here is what Mike had to say in dedicating this to our beloved Mary Gillis, R.I.P.:
This one started coming to me in 2010, not long after Mary Gillis died. Mary was one few people in my life who would actually listen to me blather on the guitar or piano. She always encouraged me to write and loved anything that I did write. She even used Lonely Dancer as her video project in the early 90s. Her spirit is with me often, and very much in the early years of writing Honey. But over more years this morphed into something more aggressive, not at all about Mary. But, I think she would have pushed me to bring it to where it is, and finish and record it. It's not always easy to produce these songs, but it feels so good when we're done. Special thanks to Mark Lajoie and Joshua Michaelfor singing back up. This one is for you Mary. Honey.
Soooooo! Please enjoy it in good health.
