Never Thought I d Dream Like This Again Honne Lyrics
Whether it'southward keeping 'Warm on a Cold Night' or being in that location for their fans since 'Twenty-four hours one', HONNE's music always delivers directly to the heart. This time, the British electronic duo, consisting of Andy Clutterbuck and James Hatcher, dropped their latest mixtape after two years of silence, serving an honest piece of themselves over the form of 37 minutes.
no song with you is non a perfect mixtape—and it was never meant to be one. Switching between atmospheric ad-lib snippets lasting less than a minute and full-length new singles, the mixtape is far from the definition of a perfect album. Instead, HONNE presented puzzle pieces of varying sizes that form a beautiful picture when put together.

"It was kind of liberating to do something creative and not worry too much about information technology being a perfectly formed anthology similar I think we always worried almost earlier. Because of that, we've decided to include snippets of other bits to merely accept you on a bit of a ride while you're listening to the album," said Hatcher.
Post-obit their striking anthology Love Me / Love Me Not , which saw collaborations with Tom Misch, RM, BEKA, Georgia, and more, no song without yous is the first fourth dimension that Clutterbuck and Hatcher take written music in a physical space together. The mixtape was conceived in Los Angeles where they spent three weeks working on the album with an audio-visual guitar and a piano—a relatively minimalist fix-upwardly compared to the plethora of synthesizers in their previous albums.
at the showtime of 2022 we went to los angeles and set a picayune studio in a rickety old house in silverlake. hither we are on the front end door step. we spent three weeks writing solar day and night, and wrote some songs that are very special to us.

"On the by record, we spent a lot of time working on music separately, whereas this record, we wrote it together in the same place, which seems crazy that we haven't been doing that up until at present. I retrieve it simply meant we both had more than of a connection to the music, every time nosotros wrote a song nosotros could kind of bond over it together. I think that'south why we both love information technology and then much," said Clutterbuck.
The music pries deep into the memories of Clutterbuck and Hatcher, drawing inspiration from $.25 and pieces of their private lives, presenting a sincere, downwardly-to-earth side of HONNE that is here to stay. The championship rails 'no song without you' tugged at the heartstrings of fans with its ambrosial animated music video, is a dedication inspired by the wedding speech of Clutterbuck'south wife.

" The whole principle, without my partner, we've been together since way earlier HONNE fifty-fifty started, and so I guess in many means, she's a big inspiration and influence on the music," said Clutterbuck.
He also shared that 'ane way to Tokyo' expressed the raw emotions he felt sending his wife off at Heathrow aerodrome: "'o ne way to Tokyo' was well-nigh her trip to Tokyo for 6 months. It was a sad morning time, I can tell you that. It's hard maxim goodbye, but she came back and we're together so information technology'southward all good. It's just a part of our relationship that inspires some emotion and that'south why it ends up in music, distance, and time. It sounds very sci-fi."
The play on harmony that is apparent in both 'no song without yous' and 'one way to Tokyo' is a refreshing addition to HONNE'due south musical traits. Taking on a polyphonic approach, the harmonisation of vox allows one to envision a vacuum of loneliness and yearning.
"I think we put more focus on the movement of the chords and the songwriting and how it like flows and on the production side we focused more on Andy'due south vocalization, layering upwardly more harmonies and letting them motion more than closely in an interesting way," said Hatcher. "We fabricated Andy's voice the main instrument and and then worked the music to complement it, which was a fun mode of working around information technology."
Although HONNE wrote two-thirds of no vocal without you earlier the pandemic, the lockdown in the Britain saw them finishing up the concluding bit of the album in their respective towns and so releasing information technology as a gift to their listeners during these trying times.
"We really wanted our mixtape to play a function in comforting people, because I think anybody's having various degrees of an awful time. That's the overarching theme, hence people could do with music that has a bit of positivity or a positive message of the things they're going to movement towards, encouraging people to stick with each other and help each other move through a difficult fourth dimension in their lives," said Clutterbuck.
Their unmarried 'smile more than smile more grinning more' was a timely reminder written for themselves to appreciate people in their lives and alive in the moment while they still can. The lyrics 'support your community', 'pay someone a compliment', 'spend time with your family', 'tell them you honey them, they won't be around forever' left bullet points for their listeners to takeaway with them, hence ending the mixtape on a reflective tone.
"We thought that the lyrics were really special and they were really to remind me and James how to be better and happier, and rather than it sounding like we're preaching to people what y'all should practice. Nosotros just wanted a reminder to ourselves in the future to what we could be doing to stay happier," said Clutterbuck.
HONNE's songwriting took an unexpected turn with their single 's o c i a l d i due south t a northward c i n g', birthing out of the first world struggle of getting groceries at a supermarket.
" Obviously, I know the 'stay the hell away' lyric is not the nicest lyric, but it's meant in the nicest possible style. It'southward only about non being able to see people, I think there's a line like saying 'I'll see you lot in my dreams'. But when you do go out, in those moments, information technology's similar, stay back, 'stay the hell away from me'," said Hatcher.
HONNE also shared that they planned to collaborate with the likes of British vocalizer-songwriter Bruno Major, besides as NIKI during quarantine. The Indonesian rising star was also featured in a 28-2nd snippet 'iloveyoumorethanicansay' in the mixtape, a track which fans are highly anticipating for a full-length version.
Looking back at their process of making the mixtape, HONNE recalled how earlier in March, they were just getting settled in their new studio 2 weeks before the lockdown.
" I've never thought that nosotros'd be doing an interview saying that our mixtape was inspired by the global pandemic," Hatcher said every bit he broke into a laugh, "I know it's strange for everybody, but it's strange only considering the best part in many ways of releasing music is going out to play to people and kind of connecting with our fans in person."

Through their regular livestream sessions on Youtube, HONNE'southward presence was felt by their fans worldwide even before no song without you, and that allowed them to connect with their fans digitally more than and then than ever.
In fact, HONNE found Holly Warbuton, the illustrator behind the anthology art and videos of no vocal without you through a tweet they posted later on the album was recorded. Warbuton brought to three fictional characters to life and aligned with the concept that HONNE had in mind.

" Our initial concept was going to exist near an imaginary friend, and then with a few tweaks we got to having Goo, Lumi, and Chip. Information technology wasn't even Goo, Lumi, and Chip—it was a dark-green human being, a light lady and a dog. Only manifestly thanks to the fans, we came up with the names," said Clutterbuck.
The duo had their third livestream session last week, with performances of their latest singles and also hosted a zoom fan meet over the weekend.
