People from Moonshine Magic by Apricot Hounds

“PEOPLE” began as a quiet nylon finger picking guitar riff — something intimate, catchy and unspoken. As the rhythm took shape with Ian’s grounding and syncopated double bass and Antonio’s cajon heartbeat and feel, the song began to breathe. Vaughan’s violin brought warmth and movement, while layered backing vocals rose up like echoes of shared experience — voices not just heard, but felt. “PEOPLE” is a song about connection, presence, and the unspoken emotion that lives between the lines.

Lyrics – People by Apricot Hounds

Huh!

Verse 1
Brothers on the street dying on their feet
Sisters on the street struggling to eat
Older people getting left behind
Everybody knows what they know

Pre-Chorus 1
Talking to the people, “God” bless the people, I hope you feel okay
Looking down at the people, high from their steeple, your voices have no say

Verse 2
Talk is cheap blowing in the wind
The beauty within knows no sin
Humankind a wonderful grind
Sensitive soul seeks within

Pre-Chorus 2
Talking to the people, “God” bless the people, I hope you feel okay
Looking down at the people, high from their steeple, your voices have no say

Chorus 1
But I say hey
And I say hey
And I say hey
And I say hey

Verse 3
The government lies, bills on the rise
People singing to marching feet
Natural disasters taking away
Everything “looks” good on the surface

Pre-Chorus 3
Talking to the people, let’s hear what you have to say
Let’s come together, see where the love takes us today

Chorus 2 / Outro
And I say hey, And you say hey
And we say hey, And we say hey
And I say hey, And you say hey
And we say hey
And we say hey
