The music video for “Bees” by Smoke Season<\/a> is as trippy as you can get. The figures of Jason Rosen (formerly of Honor Society) and vocalist Gabrielle Wortman<\/a> (from TEMP3ST) stand in front of a wall of swirling light, their shadows bending and twisting, their bodies morphing and multiplying. It fits the\u00a0psychedelic sound of the song, which features the rhythm of heartbeat-like\u00a0guitar chords, echoing voices and heavy breathing. The bees in question are probably attracted to the honey-like quality of Wortman’s voice, which is sweet and light while she sings a\u00a0descending melody during the verses, then erupts during the chorus with the slightest bit of twang:\u00a0\u201cI smell the bees, I smell the bees\/you get the honey without the sting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why bees? Well, they’re kind of a metaphor for a tumultuous romance, if you think about it. You may get something sweet\u00a0from putting\u00a0up with them, but most likely, you’re just going to get stung.<\/p>\n
