Cosa succede se quattro grandi artisti della scena musicale contemporanea decidono di collaborare? Semplice: esce un brano destinato a diventare una vera e propria hit.
Così probabilmente sarà per Honey boy, il nuovo lavoro portato alla luce dall’unione tra Purple Disco Machine, dj e produttore certificato multiplatino e vincitore di un premio Grammy, il chitarrista e compositore Nile Rodgers, l’hitmaker Benjamin Ingrosso e Sheensea, giovane rivelazione giamaicana.
Ma di cosa parla Honey Boy, disponibile all’ascolto a partire proprio dalla data odierna, 3 maggio 2024? Andiamo a scoprirne il significato del testo nel paragrafo successivo.
Significato di “Honey boy”
Il brano ha per protagonista un giovane uomo intento a fare le proprie prime esperienze nel vasto mondo, abbandonando la timidezza che da sempre l’ha contraddistinto per lasciarsi finalmente andare, aiutato in ciò da una meravigliosa donna che fa cedere ogni sua barriera.
Testo della canzone
[Intro: Benjamin Ingrosso, Shenseea]
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and lay me down?
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and play me all night, night? All the night
We could do whatever you like
My-my, oh, my-my
Gimme something, gimme something
[Verso 1: Benjamin Ingrosso, Shenseea]
I was young and never danced, would never dare
Because I thought I wasn’t good enough
I never said a single word to any girl
I was afraid that I would mess it up
But then one day I saw her face
And the old me would walk away, but then I took a chance
Then she said, “Honey boy, you’re too young
But let me give you a night you won’t forget” (Won’t forgеt, oh, oh)
[Pre-Ritornello: Benjamin Ingrosso, Shenseea]
I can feel the magic every timе I see you dance
Bet you like, bet you like how it’s feeling, oh
Everyone around is watching as she takes my hand
I don’t know, but I need it
[Ritornello: Benjamin Ingrosso, Shenseea]
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and lay me down?
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and play me all night, night? All the night
We could do whatever you like
My-my, oh, my-my
Gimme something, gimme something
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and lay me down?
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and play me all night, night? All the night
We could do whatever you like (Whatever you like, yeah)
My-my, oh, my-my
Gimme something, gimme something
[Verso 2: Benjamin Ingrosso, Shenseea]
When I woke up, I never knew
That it was you that I would see this early summer night
‘Cause all my friends, they get to saying
“Ben, just wait, you know it ain’t, it ain’t your time tonight,” yeah (Your time tonight)
You should have seen the jealous look on daddy’s face
When she came when I woke up to her (You know I like it like that)
And then she said, “Honey boy
All your friends will never know the things that you will learn” (Uh, you will learn)
[Pre-Ritornello: Benjamin Ingrosso, Shenseea]
Everyone around is watching as she takes my hand
I don’t know, but I need it
[Ritornello: Benjamin Ingrosso, Shenseea]
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and lay me down?
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and play me all night, night? All the night
We could do whatever you like
My-my, oh, my-my
Gimme something, gimme something (Yeah)
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and lay me down?
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and play me all night, night? All the night
We could do whatever you like (Whatever you like, yeah)
My-my, oh, my-my
Gimme something, gimme something
[Post-Ritornello: Shenseea]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh
[Pre-Ritornello: Shenseea, Benjamin Ingrosso]
Everyone around is watching as I take your hand
Can’t believe what I’m feeling
[Ritornello: Benjamin Ingrosso, Shenseea]
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and lay me down?
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and play me all night, night? All the night
We could do whatever you like
My-my, oh, my-my (Hey)
Gimme something, gimme something
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and lay me down?
My-my, oh, my-my
Won’t you come and play me all night, night? All the night
We could do whatever you like (Whatever you like, yeah)
My-my, oh, my-my
Gimme something, gimme something.
