Sarah Wendlandt’s “Honey” is a track that feels both tender and bittersweet, wrapping the listener in warmth while leaving a gentle ache behind. Built around soft piano chords and acoustic layers, the song creates a mood that is intimate and heartfelt. Wendlandt’s voice carries the story with ease, painting the picture of a man who sees a woman as honey—sweet, golden, and unforgettable—but cannot hold on to her. The simplicity of the metaphor is what makes it powerful. It reminds us how love can feel comforting and beautiful, yet still slip through our hands.
The strength of “Honey” lies not only in its lyrics and melody but in its history. This song was sung live for years before being released, with audiences often joining Wendlandt in the refrain. That shared experience has given the track a sense of life and connection, as though it belongs to both the artist and her listeners. The recording captures that intimacy, with production that leaves space for the instruments to breathe and for the vocals to shine. The blend of piano and guitar is understated yet rich, setting the perfect backdrop for a voice that feels honest and unguarded.
Alongside the music, Wendlandt has paired “Honey” with a golden, honey-inspired visual campaign (#HoneySound), adding a visual glow to the song’s emotional warmth. Fans of Hozier, Ben Howard, and Novo Amor will recognize the same kind of emotional storytelling here, but Wendlandt has her own way of turning personal moments into something universal. “Honey” is not just a song about love—it’s about memory, longing, and the beauty of something that cannot last forever. With this release, Sarah Wendlandt delivers a song that lingers long after it ends, proving once again her gift for crafting music that feels deeply human.
