[[Style: Alt-R&B / Neo-Soul]]
[[Tempo: 82 BPM (laid-back groove)]]
[[Key: G minor]]
[[Instruments: Rhodes keys, warm sub-bass, finger snaps, mellow kick + snare, airy vocal harmonies, soft electric guitar licks, subtle synth swells.]]
[[Intro]] [[(8 bars – soft keys, light ad-libs)]]
Mmm… yeah…
Be sweet… be easy…
---
[[Verse 1]] [(16 bars)]
Life moves better when you move with grace
Smile on your face, light in your space
Words can heal or they can break
Choose the road with the higher stakes
A gentle word cuts deeper than hate
Builds up the love, don’t add to the weight
Every heart’s just lookin’ to be seen
Don’t lose the beauty for the need to be mean
---
[[[Pre-Chorus] (8 bars)]]
Don’t raise your voice when you can raise the vibe
Let love be the language that we speak tonight
You know the truth, baby, it’s no mystery
You catch more bees with honey
---
[[[Chorus / Hook] (8–16 bars – catchy, loopable)]]
You catch more bees with honey
Sweetness goes a long, long way
You catch more bees with honey
Turn the dark into brighter days
You catch more bees with honey
Every word you say could save
You catch more bees with honey
Spread love, don’t push away
---
[[Verse 2] (16 bars)]
You don’t know what someone’s going through
Your kindness might be the only truth
One soft touch can change a soul
One good seed makes the garden grow
We all got storms, we all got rain
But the sun feels better after the pain
Be the calm in a world that’s loud
Your gentle heart will make you proud
---
[[Pre-Chorus]]
Don’t raise your voice when you can raise the vibe
Let love be the language that we speak tonight
You know the truth, baby, it’s no mystery
You catch more bees with honey
---
[Chorus / Hook – Repeat]
[[(same as above, with added harmonies, vocal riffs, and ad-libs)]]
---
[Bridge] [[(8 bars – airy breakdown, bass drops, vocal reverb)]]
Every time you choose the sweeter side
You plant a little hope in somebody’s life
It’s the little things that make us grow
It’s the gentle hands that let love show
---
[Outro] [[(fade with hook loop)]]
You catch more bees with honey… honey… honey…
