Lovely (1997) "Still" Should I still let you?Should I still let you? "Sipping Dust" thumb|I can see it through my window drifting into yours. I can see it through my windowDrifting into yours I can feel it in my deep soul "Glisten" Touch the groundTouch the skyGrab the cloudsGrab the hills I have to try "No. Nine" Hot wax dripping down to the wretched poorI have seen it a thousand times before "Mist" In my soul she weeps "Same Girl" thumb|Your halo whispers to me and I hear its sweet caress.  Your soul listens through me just like the rest. Shadow is turningLike the cherubs in my mind Your halo whispers to meAnd I hear its sweet caressYour soul listens through meJust like the rest Your face, it does the cryingIn place of all those smiling "Evergreen" You stayed alive when all were deadNot swayed at all by surrounding red Have you seen my evergreen? "Worn" Is it still the only one? "Blinder" thumb|Look for a kiss today. Look for a kiss today Lost on You (1998) "I Am" Take my hands "Lost on You" Stay with me hereDon't leave me tonightI finally found youIt's feeling so real I've given my heart "The Way You Move Me" You know you make it seem like it's so real I've been feeling music since today "Movies 1" thumb|Lost in the flame, you surround me.  Lost in the flame. thumb|I cry for the rain to surround me.  I cry for the rain. Lost in the flame, you surround meLost in the flameI cry for the rain to surround meI cry for the rain Three (2001) "Catherine Before" I see the silly songs you singTo yourself I lie awake and count the stars that you seeI can't pretend to think of anyone elseYou smile and reach your hand to meIn my dream Always watching as you glide right by "Wheel Us Around" thumb|You justified me with eyes only to see that I'm empty and bright as the sun. My fingers take livesInside the colour of sandAnd you're beaming bright as the sun I singled out youAs simply honest and trueYou justified meWith eyes only to seeThat I'm empty and bright as the sun "My Cinderella" Can't you hear meCrying all alone with my broken heartTorn apart "Always Around" This feeling is always around when you are here Smile on the outsideStill there's no colour streamingAlone on the insideYou can tell everyone who's dreaming "Valentine" thumb|I know you want to fall apart, I know you want to be in love. I kiss you always I know you want to fall apartI know you want to be in love "Missing You" A sparkle reminds me of youShines like you do A moment was all I knewThen there was you "Tomorrow" Stay with me tomorrowSo I know tonight will last "Ride" Gone for awhile with all in my dreamsHere there is me and no one elseThe canyon is wider than it seems In this slow spaceTogether we could stay for so long "Inside" I'm singing now, I'm holding onIt's coming in clear from the valley of sounds "Angel Song" thumb|I still love you, your eyes just shine for someone else. I still see youYour eyes shine through the pouring rainI still love youYour eyes just shine for someone else "Siesta" I wish I was older Quotes from the band We recorded the first album very quickly, literally living in the studio during the process.  Thanks to Sub*Lime’s support, we were able to spend significantly more time on Lost On You.  I think the patience and care taken with this record shows in the final product. Doug Moss, "Honey." Quotes about the band The lyrics are not overtly Christian, in fact this is more like honest, personal poetry.  A very personal and emotive album throughout.  The mix is sometimes a bit vocal heavy at the expense of the guitars, giving it a pop sheen.  But well worth checking out. Sam Hargreaves, "Honey - Lovely," Cross Rhythms (1 October 1997). What's most surprising about this album is that the band manages to maintain its artful rock and abstract poetic lyrics while conveying a sense of peaceful worship and love for God. Joe Rockstroh, "Lost On You," The Phantom Tollbooth (14 November 1998). "Lush" is probably the best word to describe this follow up to Lovely.  That predecessor was a big hit with a number of friends of mine and did suggest a higher degree of artistic vision than many of the glut of alternative albums which were being released around that time.  But this album is a significant leap forward. As far as artistic merit and expression are acts of worship, this album certainly succeeds. James Stewart, "Lost On You," The Phantom Tollbooth (14 January 1999). It's well produced, accessible and does grow on you with every listen. Mark Sherwood, "Honey - Lost On You," Cross Rhythms (1 February 1999). I've enjoyed this album immensely.  It's melodic, thoughtful and imaginative. Andrew Privett, "Honey - Three," Cross Rhythms (2 January 2002). Musically, Honey creates a lush bed of guitars and soft keyboard touches. John Wilson, "Honey - a Review," The Phanton Tollbooth (5 April 2002). Of course, with a name like "Honey" and an album called Lovely, you should know what to expect from this album.  That's right, dark, dreary, sharp-edged alternative rock. [T]he band is shrouded in mystery partially because they intended to be. [W]hoever is behind the microphone in this album has a smooth, effervescent voice that somehow combines clarity of tone with such muddled delivery that I defy you to pick out what he's saying at any point.
