Song Review; ‘Correct Course’ by The Honey Badgers

(Track art for ‘Correct Course’ created by Erin Magnin & Michael Natrin)

Newark, Delaware-based, married folk duo, The Honey Badgers, ended the year in harmony in their latest single ‘Correct Course’, self-released in November of 2022. Recorded at Curry Land Studio in Landenberg, PA and produced, recorded, & mixed by Eric L’Esperance, this track is a warm, nostalgic conversation between two lovers adjusting their sails, reflecting on their past, and looking forward to more adventures together.

Summertime, one hell of a thing

I never thought you'd take that ring, as we

Sailed north for foreign shores, hoping to

Bring back some stories, treasure, and more

-The Honey Badgers

Erin Magnin makes listeners feel right at home as the song starts and she enchants us with a beautiful sultry violin melody. Michael Natrins’s vocal response to his life partner is tender and sentimental as he recalls their first interactions and the unexpectedness of her accepting his proposal. Violin strumming turns to plucking as he recalls the way they moved across the floor of their wedding day towards the altar for their final ‘I do’s. 

So don't leave those dreams inside of your head

Alone they go nowhere; just lies that misled

So follow the tides, your heart, and the moon

'Cause charting a course is easy with you

'Cause charting a course is easy with you

-The Honey Badgers

Samuel Nobles continues the dance, keeping time with his upright bass waltz. A light and playful dulcimer played by Em McKeever can be heard twirling throughout the tune. The two singers come together in harmony to encourage each other to be the best version of themselves and chase their dreams. A beautiful folk song showcasing a supportive, creative, and brave love all that all humans long for.
