the man who keeps the bees the man who keeps the bees wheels the hive through the trees to a new spot where they'll thrive, the hive, the bees the man who keeps the bees stops to talk with such ease to my old Dad, the walk, the talk, the bees the buzz of a gentle worker bee pulling nectar making honey these are the lazy days these are the lazy days the man who keeps the bees is content with what he sees as the new queen flies the scent, content, the bees the man who keeps the bees knows it's real, their industry keeping all life, the deal, it's real, the bees

the dark side of love follows me home the dark side of love won't let me roam freedom, let me be the dark side of love invades my head the dark side of love stains my bed freedom, let me be the dark side of love traps my howl the dark side of love murders most fowl freedom, let me be free

baby stay 03:14
baby stay something shifted that day something moved your way cleared the land, cleared the house, cleared the sand dancing in your hand you're the moon to my waves you're the moon to my waves oh baby stay something fired that day burning bright your way licks and glows revealing true hearted, sweet parted you're the moon to my waves you're the moon to my waves oh baby stay now love shines all day glowing skin your way breaking hearts can heal again waking lovers and friends you're the moon to my waves you're the moon to my waves oh baby stay

about

The seeds of Lara’s new EP were sown in Cambridge Botanic Gardens when her Dad nabbed the beekeeper for a chat. That image became a poem, became a tune and became the song 'the man who keeps the bees'. The songs were all written at home, with inspiration gained during the solitude of lockdown from memories, nostalgia, and the space which allowed expression of emotions that may otherwise have remained quiet.

The recording of the voice and guitar was done in the corner of my sitting room and the tracks sent to Chris in the studio, the photos taken near me in a local wildlife spot at a suitable social distance.
