You didn't have to look my way
Your eyes still haunt me to this day
But you did. Yes, you did

You didn't have to say my name
Ignite my circuits and start a flame
But you did

Oh, Turpentine erase me whole
(Cause I) don't want to live my life alone
(Well I) was waiting for you all my life
Oh
Why

Set me free, my...honey-
Bee
Ho-ney
Bee

You didn't have to smile at me
Your grin's the sweetest that I've ever seen
But you did. Yes you did

You didn't have to offer your hand
Cause since I've kissed it I am at your command
But you did

Oh, Turpentine erase me whole
I don't want to live my life alone
I was waiting for you all my life
Oh
Why

Set me free, my...honey-
Bee
Ho-ney
Bee

Hello Goodbye, Twas nice to know you
How I find myself without you
That I'll never know
I let myself go

Hello Goodbye, I'm rather crazy
And I never thought I was crazy
But what do I know?
Now you have to go

Honeybee
Honeybee

(Round)
(Round)

(Acapella Round)

Rabbit & The Jon:
Hello Goodbye, Twas nice to know you
How I find myself without you
Hello Goodbye, I'm rather crazy
And I never thought I was crazy

The Spine & Michael Reed:
That I'll never know.
I let myself go.
But what do I know?
Now you have to go.

Sehnsucht is a German word for experiencing nostalgia of something never experienced, also used to describe longing or yearning for an experience you've never had. This song is both haunting and comforting in a way that I can only describe as Sehnsucht.

[Scuts]

This song is like a drug to me. It makes me so depressed yet so happy at the same time. I think every time I listen to it’s mesmerizing melodies it will be the last, but something always drives me back.

[handir]

The first song I ever heard from these guys. Yes....

[ALLThingsOfEpicness]

I broke up with my girlfriend months back, we were together for 3 years. I always called her my Honeybee, this song always hits a cord with me and makes me equally sad and happy.

[lionelthierry]

There's so deep feelings in this song that I just cant help myself crying when I'm listenning it...

[hecklife]

You know what the cure for being too happy is? This song. Thanks for the feels.

[Heather-vcrx]

My gf introduced me to this band, and now she’s gone and I can’t help but listen to this and think about her

[thattankguy]

My favorite teacher showed me this song before she passed I'm glad to have something to remember her by. A sincere thanks to you guys

[temmieoverlord]

This is like on my list of ass kicking music. The lyrics work as a song of romance, and a song of fucking around and finding out.

[rune]

One of my favorite songs by S.P.G. It's one of the few songs that brings tears to my eyes, and reminds me of the first woman to ever break my heart. Delightfully beautiful and bittersweet.

[carvermiller]

I wonder if the Jon still listens to all the new Steam Powered Giraffe stuff.

[RabidHummingbird]

I called my partner my buzzy bee (close enough) and after we broke up I was told he had passed away. I went 20 years thinking he was gone, but the universe is weird, and we found each other again. During those years apart, this song made me weep every time I heard it because it made me think of him and miss him. I just got to play this song for him while holding him, and the feeling is so surreal, and just absolutely magnificent. I can't even tell you. I'm sobbing again hearing it, but for a totally new and happier reason.

[embracingazur]

I might have a slight obsession with this song...

[infodeprived]

My story for finding this song is rather silly but I hold a lot of nostalgia for it despite it only being, what a few months ago now. It was this game on Roblox I randomly found and played, it was a testing thing for a tank system which was reasonably in-depth, 2 teams situated across from each other on a snowy map with a destroyed city in the middle and spawns for tanks at each teams base. It was wintertime when I was playing and I met some people on the game and for a good week we played together almost every day, at one point pretty early one of us put this song on the radio and we all loved it, the interior of the tank was all modeled so whenever you went in first person you could see it all lit up inside and it was very comfy compared to the cold and dark outside, and this song really magnified that. Made (at least me) feel like a soldier who knows he's probably doomed but goes in with a smile anyway because he knows he might aswell be happy while he can and remember the good times. We would camp out on a hill ready to attack unsuspecting enemy exiting their base and just listen to the music while chatting, it was lovely.

[nerdyvalkyrie]

This song hits that magic bittersweet threshold
It sits with you while you cry because it knows that's what you need to feel better right now and rubs your back and hands you tissues and then gives you a big hug at the end because it genuinely cares about you

[AuntieInari]

This is the song that made me realize SPG was my absolute favorite Steampunk band... and one of my favorites in any genre.

Thanks for sharing it boys and girls ^ _ ^

<3 Auntie.

[mamav]

This melody haunts me in such a deep way. Beautiful!

[MrBurningDonkies]

This is it, the best..distilled and fresh. This needs a billion views.

[davidsain]

Turpentine erase me whole. I don't want to live my life without Steam Powered Giraffe!
