Wood Brothers, The - Honey Jar Lyrics

one of the universes closest held secrets

Holy cow. Showing love from Southern California. I wish you guys played shows down here. I have a few connections with the House of Blues down here if you're ever down this way ;)

Wonderful!!!

Five and a half years later, and it's STILL addicting....2 weeks now, and I have to hear a least once a day <3 Synergy at it's finest, Gentleman!!

Amazing as usual!

first time I've ever seen a doghouse bass player play harp also ! nice work fellas.

The only thing that could make this song any better is The Spoon Lady accompanying.... loving this band!!

We Love this band. Inspired by them big time :)
Trouble in mind by Living Room Heroes:

Who in the world would give this a thumbs down??

Come play in jersey 😜

I like it a lot and there isn’t much I like today......that’s because I’m older than all you guys..lol

'the last thing you got was a left handed letter!
and you opened up the seal like you didn't even know better!'

Anyone know what kind of guitar?

OK so can't decide if this guy has the worst good sounding voice or the best bad sounding voice, he is in key but so nasily but yet matches the music but doesn't over all have a good sound to his voice....I like him, but then sometimes I don't /: if his voice was a day it would be Wednesday not quite as smooth and exciting as Friday, love this song tho

Saw these dudes in Tallahassee at a small venue they put on a great show!

My God...I'm in love with this!  Awesome !

the chick who gave you the music. i know what's up with that shit too.

dont forget its coming back to you. thats a promise

lol you guys are singing about a herion users heaven.

the left handed letter is an email

I fell in love with this song the very first time I heard it, very funky indeed!

That's the shizzle.

This song is about a wet dream, just read the lyrics

Let’s see, my comment was deleted. A previous comment still stands. Their interpretation of this song is about wet dreams or nocturnal emissions.

Oh yeah!

Standin’ on the back of that train with your open arms
Lookin’ at the big sky listenin' to the smoke alarm
You wonder what happened guess your heart must'a jumped the track
Put your lips out in the wind and you hope you get some kissin' back

Every night you get the same old dream
There’s a spoon full of honey where your heart should be
And there's
Honey drippin' off your spoon
Honey drippin' off your spoon

White skin freckles big hard candy green eyes
Bet you wish you had your red headed woman back sometimes
The last thing you got was a left handed letter
And you opened up the seal like you didn't even know better

Every night you get the same old dream
There’s a spoon full of honey where your heart should be
And there's
Honey drippin' off your spoon
Honey drippin' off your spoon

Don’t you know your spoon's gettin' low
You worry and you wonder just where all the honey goes
But if you hope it and you pray real hard
If you will it you can wish it
Heaven is a Honey Jar

@Mfkspiegelh K This song is about a wet dream, read it!

Jakob Willkomm. Men dream just like women. While I agree with you, it’s entirely possible the dream of honey dripping of your spoon could be a past, present, or future love interest. Better yet, I like to think the person dreaming is dreaming about an old flame, the one that got away. Honey Jar Honey Pot just semantics.

Is the guy on the percussion playing some sort of stump fiddle?

He calls it a Shitar. It's a shitty guitar that he put stuff in and on and wears while playing it. 

@johnnyCheeseburger Haha ok nice. Thanks.

Is the guitar here in standard tuning? Figured out the beginning rift but having trouble with the chords

Love the wood brothers.

Randomly ended up at a place called the Mule Barn in Justin, TX last night and a band called Midnight River Choir (honestly have no idea if they are well-known) happened to be playing. They did a cover of this song and I was blown away. Looked it up immediately when I got home and have been listening to it ever since. Great jam.

El cambio de compas es orgasmico. Como la clavan !!!

O..M..G Love love love this. Listened to the Muse album many times through and it's amazing...srsly hooked :)

Soo good.

When yer good yer good. :-)

ty guys

The live version is even better ! Long lives to these three men!

I haven't been able to stop listening for about three days now.

Absolutely love it.
Thanks boys.

You and me both brother. I thought I was the only one. Found them the other day and I've listened to nothing since. THANK YOU FOR THIS MUSIC. Dammmmn. You wonder what happened when your heart musta jumped a track.

Incredible music.  I have ordered two cds. because this music is so incredible.  What a way to spend Saturday night.  dx

Chris Wood is too cool.

Brilliant.

these guys can really work a pocket... very groovy

bought the album felt cheated when this version of the song was not on it.

60s Motown inspired bluegrass? Okay, this is cool!

Love it

Awesome stuff.

Just great want more.

Love these guys!!

Is that a National biscuit cone or a republic? either way such good sound. hope to see ya's in Burlington, VT again soon.

Please come to DC MD VA!

At 2:45 I could feel a small part of my brain explode inside of my head. It felt pretty serious, like I should see a doctor, but I feel better now than I ever did before.

Great new album guys, get back to San Diego soon.

I got a copy on the recent tour. The album is amazing, buy it. Buy two. These people need to keep music. Cause it's a lot better than anything else lurking out of the Nashville area.

I've had "ways not to lose" and "smoke ring halo" on constant rotation for almost a year now. Freshest music I've heard in a long time. And Chris Wood is the baddest bass player on the planet. Can't wait for new album.

Usually when I hear a song for the first time the appreciation takes time to grow. One listen and I'm hooked to every song of this album I've heard so far. Can't wait for October 1st.

I haven't had this much anticipation for an album in a LONG time!! Love these guys!
