Songwriting Zen

Corey Stewart – “Honey Child”

The last originals band I put together was a funk/groove outfit called Orangutang back in 2004 (hence the name of my business Orangutang Music).

The music we played wasn’t the acoustic singer/songwriter stuff that you can listen to on my Music page however, this song demonstrates how one idea and a bassline can be transformed into something special with the right players at your disposal.

And I must say, I’ve been very fortunate to have played with some really talented players. The kind of players that you learn things from every time you jam with them.

Orangutang existed between 2004-2006 and was comprised of:

• CS – Bass, Vocals
• Ross Neilsen – Guitar
• Leo Auri – Keys
• Jarrad Payne – Drums

Honey Child

You are the one that makes my heartbeat race
You make my mind go all over the place
You are the one that makes my life complete
I love you baby from your head to your feet
I’m mesmerized by your eyes of blue
You know that I’ll do anything for you
I like the way you look I like your style
You got a body that just drives me wild

You’re my honey child
Honey Child
You’re my honey child
Honey Child

I feel obliged to absolutely say
I think about each and every day
And every time you come home at night
I wanna be there just to treat you right
I’m a better man for being with you
You give me all the strength to do what I do
How many times can I show you my love?
I wanna let you know that once is never enough

Chorus

Instrumental

One and one is two I know
The good and bad go with the flow
My life is yours and yours is mine
Together ’till the end of time
One and one is two I know
The good and bad go with the flow
My life is yours and yours is mine
Together ’till the end of time

Chorus

Until next time, happy writing
