Liner Notes

Sapient: Song Hamster is a persistent little beastie. Last night it was back again, demanding further tribute. This time it made Metalfoot write some words, forced me into writing a backing track, AEye into adding many layers, and Carleybaer into singing the sweetest of sweet harmonies to divert its attention from us all. I think we escaped. This time. Phew...

metalfootnotes: Slackchat collab for the win. I don't remember who said "My soul is like a salt lick" but that's all I needed to dash off this lyric in about 5 minutes. Cheers to all of you under the thrall of the song hamster.

A.Eye's notes: It was me, I said my soul is like a salt lick. I take full responsibility.

Words: Metalfoot Guitars, drums, vocals: Sapient More vocals: Carleybaer Orchestra, massive bass and hamster noises: AEye

Lyrics

My soul is like a salt lick Filled with the tears I couldn't cry My heart is feeling so sick And deep down inside I wanna die

Song hamster has me in its gaze I feel like I'm lost in a maze

The music swims through my head Chords and rhythms pounding all night long Sometimes I wish I were dead Can't take too much more, not that strong

Song hamster has me in its gaze I feel like I'm lost in a maze

Let me go Let me go

Omg omg omg omg, this mixture of talent is melting my brain! You guys all bring such a unique flair to the parts you played in creating this! SONG HAMSTER

@chrissteele 2d

PLAY IT LOUD! And great harmonies. Really excellent song!

@earlyboon 2d

Gotta say, I was not expecting that amount of metal, but I'm digging it. Well done!

@audiogust 2d

This is my first exposure to SongHamster and now I'm very curious to discover more! #allHailSongHamster

@aeye 2d

be warned....the hamster will demand song tribute once it sets its gaze on you....and if it does, give the tribute to keep your soul. (he's a fuzzy little terror!)

@codeenergy 2d

For the first half a second my brain immediately thought of "floods" by Pantera but this this track is holds its own! The layered vocal sounds great and those heave guitar tones are mean! And those guitar harmonies in the solo, fantastic! Outstanding track everybody!! I'm going to have to save this one!!

@alyxanderjames 2d

My god this is incredible hahaha Hail the SongHamster, and thank you all for your sacrifice in paying it tribute! 🙏

@headfirstonlyMod 2d

Oh my word... This is IMMENSE!

The inevitable Song Hamster concept album can't be far away now, surely?

@beacon 2d

It is right and salutary that SongHamster be given tribute, and this is fine tribute. The appropriate level of beautiful singing and shredding guitars. Praise Be.

@nadine 2d

I did not expect songs hamster to go into the direction of APC. I love all that melancho rock. The speed up came unexpected and rocks. The noises in the end lool

@disarming 2d

Dudes. This is awesome. The intro is amazing and then when it really comes in is so face melting! When it turns to speed metal! Love it! This is a powerhouse of a collab. Full production is legit.

Great flipping song everyone! Thanks to the song hamster.

@metalfoot 2d

That Song Hamster. Pernicious little thing isn't it? This was everything I could have asked for and more from my humble little bit of doggerel. Great job!

@lyricslinger 2d

Not sure what song hamster is but this sounds mightily good! Some parts of the music reminded me a little of Welcome Home (Sanitarium) by Metallica. Oh, and the hamster reference reminded me of Minsc and Boo from Baldur's Gate ....
