On February 22nd , a new artist named lucky break released their first single ‘Honeysuckle’ inviting listeners to disassociate from reality for a little while in a dreamlike spell of self love. The song feels like floating in an ocean of stars, where the water is warm, and the cosmos heal your soul. ‘Honeysuckle’ gives the listener a safe place to daydream whilst their reality waits for them beyond the lulling notes.

‘Honeysuckle’ is a slow dance of deep metaphors and life lessons which encourage the listener to take time for themselves and nature amongst the cacophony of normal life. Lyrics like, ‘sometime, someday it’ll all fade to grey and mist’ teach the listener that what seems significant now in a world so obsessed with money and social media will all disappear eventually and be overrun by the one constant power of nature. This moment encourages the listener to appreciate the small things and the beauty around them more, giving them a moment to breath without the toxicity of the reality humans have created.

The single continues its sleep-marbled march into the chorus where lucky break sings, ‘my heart is a honeysuckle’. The beautiful metaphor is reminiscent of a pure world, a manifestation for humans to be connected with themselves and each other again. In this fantasy lucky break has created, consumerism is to be exiled and nature will surround you wholeheartedly like a lullaby humming you into a great slumber. The artist sings the lyrics, ‘I have seen my heart’ making them seem wise to a listener who normally lives in ignorance to the wonders the world and humans hold if they only took the time to recognise and preserve this. All the while lucky break enlaces pastoral imagery into their song to further invite the listener into a fairytale where they can take refuge.

‘Honeysuckle’ closes with lucky break’s trance-like vocals enticing the listener into the divine. So, go and listen to ‘Honeysuckle’ now to escape the harsh reality of the world for a moment within this love song dedicated to yourself.
