"Just Like Honey" was released on the debut album by Scottish bandThe Jesus and Mary Chain, PSYCHOCANDY (1985), a work that enacted the sound structures of what has come to be called shoegaze.

The song that was released as the third single on this album surprised and delighted admirers of modern pop music because of its beauty blooming between noise walls.

Curious detail: “Just Like Honey” uses the drum riff of the 1963 song “Be My Baby”, by the American group Ronettes.
