I’m an American beekeeper in the north I happened to come across this by chance. If you ever read this thank you what a beautiful song and a beautiful voice. It’s made my heart warm.
When mom was alive and i was still a kid she did time a lot I had to stay in foster homes till she got out, I had one wonderful family offer to adopt me and I declined. I'll never forget how heartbroken they were but even though mom made a lot of mistakes she did her best to show me she loved me. Some of the kids in the homes I stayed at were certain they were not loved by their mothers. Even if you mess up sometimes it's important to do what you can to show your child you love them, ill always love my mom and I know now she had severe mental health issues. I hope she's proud of me and knows I don't blame her.
I found this song on TH-cam back in 2009. I fell in love with Zee's voice. I remember sitting on the brownstone steps in the morning sun with my little laptop, listening to this and sipping french vanilla coffee while you slept in upstairs. I was so happy. We were engaged then. I remember I started calling you my honeybee. Some of those old cards you have from me have pictures or stickers of fat, happy little bees on them. I even dragged you to a little show of hers down on the Jersey Shore. (She was great). Seems like a lifetime ago. That was before I found out about the lies, the cheating, the manipulation, and before all the neglect and abuse. It was before I had the faintest clue that you were a narcissist, a sadist, and a borderline sociopath with an agenda. It was before I knew that you never really intended to marry me. When I was listening to this song I was wearing an engagement ring, had a beautiful wedding dress with my name on it and nothing but pure love, unconditional trust and contentment in my heart. Now when I hear this song, it makes me profoundly sad. There is a dark hole inside me and it's filled with shadows of you. It makes me miserable that I have to live with all these memories of loving someone.. (close to a decade) ..who never really existed. I have to live with memories of endless crying, anxiety, rejection, intense and repeated disappointment and every kind of abuse imaginable. For you, it's meaningless. For me it was real, deeply meaningful and deeply painful. But that doesn't matter to you or anyone anymore. Shame on you for breaking me like this, for being such a bad person and for making me feel empty & sad when I hear this beautiful song.
@bookmarkthis because narcissists are masters and extremely clever, after the love bombing which is when they hook you in and then marry you, the evil comes out. What's sad is that a lot of people don't know what narcissism is, I even had to educate myself on what was going on then I was like OHHHHHHHH OK..... GET THE FU@K OUT NOW!!!!!
Never let a narcissist steal your sunshine....get your mojo back and say, ok, now I know the signs of a cray cray narc and move on! You can still love this beautiful song and make it a reminder that you had to learn some hard lessons in life. I married a narc too, but I got out within 6 months and had my marriage annulled..... they are soul-less psychos!!!!!!!!!!
My mom has sang this song to me since i was born this makes me cry happy tears I’m twelve and it really hits you after all that time it also bring back bad and good memories and reall shows me me and my moms bond . Not my dad he used to abuse me
This song absolutely messed me up as a young pre-teen and was a dear favorite. It still randomly gets stuck in my head and I have to come listen again ❤
I heard this about 12 years ago when I was 14 and had to grow up fast. At 17 I was kicked out into the streets by my mother. Years have gone by and nothing has gotten easier. I turn 26 this year and I’ve had to be alone the majority of my adulthood because my family exiled me for being me. I don’t know what it’s like to have a family, I keep going through so much and I don’t know when it will stop. I have to serve time in a few weeks because I made a dumb decision but I think all I’m looking for is love and someone to appreciate me. I feel so lost right now all I want to do is listen to this song and float away…. Thursday 2:53 p.m. April, 25th. 2024.
Saw Zee perform this at a Jack Johnson concert along with Paula Fuga. Was my first time hearing both and over the years I keep finding myself coming back to listen to all of them. Absolutely incredible performance
Ah sweet poet , how many heart felt songs to be written? The touch of God upon your music as I listen The road ahead for a moment seemed like a giant, intimidating to me Now the looming Giant has met his match...the message of the Honey Bee.
the first time i heard this song was via a cover video, i fell in love with it!!! and i make sure i listen to it at least once a day! this song leaves me with so many mixed emotions! easily my new favorite artist!!!
I am really impressed with Zee Avi. I have no intention to offend any malaysian people but not many malaysian can speak fluent english ... It is because malay is their first language. But zee avi can sing and speak really good english unlike other malaysian singers.. Btw,I am a Singaporean who live in Malaysian for almost 4 years :)
Lyrics: I am a honey bee, Shunned off from the colony And they won't let me in So I left the hive, They took away all my stripes And broke off both my wings So I'll find another tree And make the wind my friend I'll just sing with the birds They'll tell me secrets of the world But my other honey bee Stuck where he doesn't wanna be But my darling, honey bee I'll come save you Even if it means I'd have to face the queen Da param pam param pam Para ra ra pa pa ra ram So I'll come prepared, My new friends said they would help me Get my loved one back They say it isn't right, The bees have control of your mind But I choose not to believe that So we'll meet in the darkness of the night And I promised I will be there on time We'll be guided by my new friends, the butterflies Bring us back to our own little hive Oh my other honey bee, No longer stuck where he doesn't wanna be Oh my darling, honey bee I have saved you And now that you're with me, We can make our own honey Oh param pam param pam Para ra ra pa pa ra ram
She has this really buttery quality on some of her vowels that reminds me a lot of Ella Fitzgerald (albeit less polished). You can really hear it on the word "right" at 1:59. Makes my heart melt :)
This song is so lovely when you read about how the little honeybee sacrifices all of that so courageously to save her other little honeybee. It breaks my heart and makes me smile...
Once she has come to this stage, we Malaysian should not be discussing about her ethnicity. Just A MALAYSIAN ' PERIOD' and please do not get emotional. Just enjoy her music. I had problem switching off my computer once I start to browse her videos. Can't really remember 'donkey' times I ve been listening. If I had some urgent things to do I WILL NOT click on her videos otherwise mytime is gone, for good. She is our darling. MALAYSIA BOLEH.

I love love love her voice. But she made my sister laugh when I was playing her album on a road trip because she sings of such tragedy and misfortune with her sweet little voice. I think she is great.
Older American beekeeper here. The filling has not changed. It still warms my heart after a few years.
I’m an American beekeeper in the north I happened to come across this by chance. If you ever read this thank you what a beautiful song and a beautiful voice. It’s made my heart warm.

Hello from New Zealand

Look at what a beautiful heart you have been blessed with. Nobody can break you. Life is so good, it's time to heal now.
thanks, that's kind. 🌻
Thank you! Many blessings and namaste!

Ah sweet poet , how many heart felt songs to be written?

A beautiful simple song with a lovely and much needed message. I'm subscribing to her channel!

Simple, smooth, sweet. I prefer this so much more than most stuff on the radio.

I am really impressed with Zee Avi. I have no intention to offend any malaysian people but not many malaysian can speak fluent english ... It is because malay is their first language. But zee avi can sing and speak really good english unlike other malaysian singers.. Btw,I am a Singaporean who live in Malaysian for almost 4 years :)
I have been listened since I was 18 years old in 2009, many memories and feelings come to my head right now
Zee is one of those artists I try not take for granted and always remind myself how glad I am to hear her.
Lyrics:
I am a honey bee,
Shunned off from the colony
And they won't let me in
So I left the hive,
They took away all my stripes
And broke off both my wings
So I'll find another tree
And make the wind my friend
I'll just sing with the birds
They'll tell me secrets of the world
But my other honey bee
Stuck where he doesn't wanna be
But my darling, honey bee
I'll come save you
Even if it means I'd have to face the queen
Da param pam param pam
Para ra ra pa pa ra ram
So I'll come prepared,
My new friends said they would help me
Get my loved one back
They say it isn't right,
The bees have control of your mind
But I choose not to believe that
So we'll meet in the darkness of the night
And I promised I will be there on time
We'll be guided by my new friends, the butterflies
Bring us back to our own little hive
Oh my other honey bee,
No longer stuck where he doesn't wanna be
Oh my darling, honey bee
I have saved you
And now that you're with me,
We can make our own honey
Oh param pam param pam
Para ra ra pa pa ra ram
She has this really buttery quality on some of her vowels that reminds me a lot of Ella Fitzgerald (albeit less polished). You can really hear it on the word "right" at 1:59. Makes my heart melt :)
This song is so lovely when you read about how the little honeybee sacrifices all of that so courageously to save her other little honeybee.
It breaks my heart and makes me smile...
Great way of telling your ups and downs with your love life, graceful voice and guitar playing.
Once she has come to this stage, we Malaysian should not be discussing about her ethnicity. Just A MALAYSIAN ' PERIOD' and please do not get emotional. Just enjoy her music. I had problem switching off my computer once I start to browse her videos. Can't really remember 'donkey' times I ve been listening. If I had some urgent things to do I WILL NOT click on her videos otherwise mytime is gone, for good. She is our darling. MALAYSIA BOLEH.
Easily the most adorable song ever.
wonderful, wonderful voice... and beautiful song... heavenly!
Beautiful song. Quite possibly one of the most beautiful songs I've heard.
