Wild Honey

Distant voices rock her out of her sleep. Her eyes struggle sluggishly to open and when they finally do she squints into the morning light. They water slightly and she blinks the away yawning in the process. Swinging her legs off the side of the bed she slips into a hoodie and sleep shorts before making her way downstairs. 

Warm light fills the home and and an aroma she can’t quite make out envelops her filling her senses and jolting her awake. She glances at the large clock on the wall. It was not morning anymore as she had first thought but more so early afternoon. Through a sleep fogged brain she wonders when was the last time she had ever slept in this late. 

But thinking back to last night she isn’t surprised. A small uncontrollable smile makes its way onto her face as she clears the last few steps. She stands at the foot of the stairs as a shiver runs down the length of her spine at the memory of what happened last night. Thinking back to your tongue. Nuzzling her and taking long lazy slow licks. Her fingers tangled in your hair. Hips trembling and back arching. Your mouth causing sensations like a swirling pleasure that sweeps over her making her feel like a boat thrashing on stormy seas. She has to take a deep breath to steady her heartbeat remembering what it felt like having you inside of her. 

Stop that, she scolds herself. She feels her cheeks grow incredibly warm with the phantom memory of your weight laying against her; thrusting and moaning and biting.

Stop it, she chides herself one more time before following her nose towards the kitchen. Rounding the corner she’s met with a sight that leaves her speechless. There you were standing in front of the stove, apron tied tightly around your waist, spatula in hand, flipping pancakes as Yelena sits on the kitchen island laughing with tears in her eyes at something you were saying. She’s laughing so hard she almost falls off the counter top. Her heart warms at the sight she can’t control the laughter that bubbles out. 

“Sestra, this one is ridiculous!” Yelena wheezes out wiping the corners of her eyes. 

Your eyes flash mischievously at the sight of her. “G’morning babe. Sleep well?”

She smiles timidly at you as she goes to pinch her sister in greeting. “You’re making pancakes?”

You hum and nod licking some batter off your fingers. “Indeed I am. Want some?”

She gets lost watching your fingers dip into your mouth. And she swears the moan you let out at the taste was completely on purpose and unnecessary. 

Of course you notice her eyes. You wink at her and her cheeks grow warm a second time that morning.

“It smells delicious” she manages to say swallowing a lump in her throat. “Why don’t Yelena and I set the table?” she offers and Yelena groans at having to get up and do work when she was feeling so relaxed.

“Sounds like a plan” you answer turning your attention back to the pancakes on the griddle. “These’ll be done soon.”

Nat works with her sister in happy silence setting the table. Well, in almost silence as Yelena just wouldn’t stop humming the tune to ‘here comes the bride’.

Nat sighs in semi annoyance. 

Yelena raises her volume a notch or two.

“Ok stop.” Nat finally says throwing a napkin at her sister.

“Hey” she protests throwing it back at her. “I’m only humming. Don’t be such a grouch.”

“Hum something else” she scolds.

“Why?” Yelena bites back resting her hands on her hips.

“Because.”

“Because what, sestra?”

Nat huffs turning to her sister. “Because it’s annoying" she grits out lowering her voice so you won’t hear her.

The sisters stare at each other for a solid half a minute. Finally Yelena relents with a groan. “Like you two weren’t annoying last night.”

“What?” Nat exclaims indignant. 

Just then you walk in balancing 3 plates stacked with pancakes. “Bon apetit” you announce. 

Yelena walks to sit herself beside her sister and whispers just loud enough for her to hear. “You smell like sex and do you forget I have ears and these walls are paper thin, sestra? So don’t tell me I’m annoying when I was the one who had to sleep in my car last night.”

🦁🐾 This years marks the 30th anniversary of “The Lion King”. Last year, I had done drawings based on Chris Sanders’ storyboards for the Mufasa’s ghost sequence and made a little series of drawings of Simba and Rafiki with bees and wild honey. Possibly, aside from eating bugs and grubs, Simba might’ve also consumed some honey during his time with Timon and Pumbaa. It’s a possibility. 🍯🐝

Kick-starting the Rock n’ Roll Revival - The Post-Psychedelic Fun of “Wild Honey” (1967)

1967′s Smiley Smile painted the image of a Beach Boys that is thoroughly, energetically, and creatively spent- especially following the immense stress with the band’s collapse of success, drugs & mental health issues, and the collapse of Smile. But with Wild Honey- the band has never felt more unified and alive. And not only that, they helped initiate major changes not just from within the band, but also to the music world as well thanks to one move...going back to rock and roll’s roots and embracing R&B.

After total burnout and a severely stressful 1967, and with a lot of the music world lambasting the band as “ball-less choir boys” the band sought to re-invent themselves as a self-contained rock act, intentionally distancing themselves away from the lush, theatrical and extremely complex compositions of Pet Sounds and other psychedelic acts that filled the market, and make music that the band could actually enjoy making- recording at Brian’s home with only band-mates and their talents; only a love for R&B, Soul, and Motown driving their music process, more lo-fi than Smile.

However to call this lo-fi, either musically or instrumentally is almost misleading- not less because the newer 2017 stereo transfer of it shows greater musical depth and complexities in the background than ever heard before. Indeed, perhaps the Beach Boys’ greatest yet most underrated talent is their ability to immediately & effectively evoke worlds of fun, love and summer. This is used to great effect in tracks like “Let The Wind Blow”, “Country Air”, and their fantastic single “Darlin’“ and cover of Stevie Wonder’s “I Was Made to Love Her”- using their stripped-down approach with great precision and shining beautifully here. The landscapes they paint with their songwriting and musical chops help blur the lines between psychedelia and rock and roll, in various moods, setting, and form- from hazy countrysides, frantic parties, and flowering declarations of love.

The transition to blues rock for people unaware of the Boys’ later work sounds very unusual- some tracks you’d swear were made by The Rolling Stones in the late-60s. Yet, the psychedelic sound is still here, some songs can’t help feeling still a wee bit druggy or floaty throughout the album- but this shows how the album is considered to be an important transition point from psychedelia to the back-to-basics trend rock made after the Summer of Love, predating such work made by The Beatles, The Band, and even the Doors’ later work in Morrison Hotel- perhaps consequentially enough, Jim Morrison himself was a fan of Wild Honey.

But in the midst of musical evolution, and the return of Brian Wilson and Mike Love’s songwriting partnership- perhaps the real standout star from Wild Honey is the youngest Wilson brother: Carl. Carl Wilson’s voice and performance is even more powerful, that much more soulful and at times raw. His performances in the title track and “Darlin’” command the listener’s attention for just how much the man is giving his all and singing his soul out due to his immense love of Motown and blues music. And as Brian was very slowly ceding his leadership role, Carl’s increased presence in Wild Honey and future albums was consequential as he would soon become the de-facto leader of the band after 1970.

Considering that after 1967, the band members grew older, got married and had kids, and shifted to a more mature image and sound- Wild Honey feels like the final burst of youthful energy from a band that gained its fame partially for their songs’ focus on teenage summer love and fun- it’s still here and very much alive, but the form it takes on is notably different. Considering it’s historicity for being one of the first back-to-basics rock album, and its consequential influence on other major acts, Wild Honey comes close to being as important in music history as Pet Sounds and even Smiley Smile before it- As summer rolls around, it deserves a listen while we ourselves try to find a youthful love of fun & sun once more.

SUNDAY MUSIC VIDEO MATINEE: “Dumb Angel” live in concert— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1adaRT-TVpU   …This surrealistic pop song* came to me from a dream about where I grew up in Avis, Pennsylvania. In the dream, Brian Wilson showed up at my door, smoking a cigarette and driving a big car. He drove me and some kids to a Bible study at the CMA Church in Avis (now torn down). In the church sat Lewis Carroll, and near him was Elvis Presley, crying with his head in his arms. How I de-coded this dream is another story. 

In the context the word “angel” references the old Hebrew definition of cherubim as God’s messengers. The angel in this song is dumb, as in not being able to speak, yet he still delivers a message. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1adaRT-TVpU

* “Dumb Angel” was also the original working title of The Beach Boys masterwork, SMILE. On a cosmic jukebox, this song would play next to songs from the 1967-68 SMILEY SMILE/WILD HONEY/FRIENDS period of Beach Boys.

Dr. John - Wild Honey - 8/13/2006 - Newport Jazz Festival (Official)

[singeratlarge]

SONG OF THE MONTH: “Welcome To The Open Door”— In the name of recovery, strength, hope, & healing, I offer some upbeat wonder: https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/welcome-to-the-open-door …A song about being “in the present” and not tripping on the past or being anxious about the future. I look at my bad choices and experiences, then realize that I learned some things—that which harmed me is no longer with me and never served me; That which was a good lesson is still with me and still serves me. 

Musically, I refashioned the major 7th keyboard riffs from “Wild Honey” by The Beach Boys, with an influence from the pop sides of Genesis and Yes + a quote from John Lennon’s “Watching the Wheels.” This was recorded in the hipster little city of Knoxville TN (the studio let me borrow the Yamaha DX7 keyboards used by The Jacksons during their VICTORY tour). To listen please visit the link (feedback welcome)…
