“Hunnybee” was described by Ruban Nielson as being about his daughter, with the title coming from her middle name.
It was intended as a “platonic love song”, but more complex ideas and advice were added to elevate the song above becoming too “innocent or naive”.
[Verse 1]
Warm rain and thunder
Days are getting darker
A week is such a long time
Eras rot like nature
Age of paranoia
Don't be such a modern stranger
Oh angel
[Chorus]
Hunnybee, Hunnybee
There's no such thing

Hunnybee, Hunnybee
There's no such thing
As sweeter a sting

There's no such thing
As sweeter a sting
Hunnybee, Hunnybee
There's no such thing
As sweeter a sting
Hunnybee, Hunnybee
There's no such thing
As sweeter a sting
Hunnybee, Hunnybee
There's no such thing
As sweeter a sting
