Some old-but-new tidbits I find interesting about Hamster
“In a sense, I was always around live music. My parents are folk singers. And we used to sing in a little band together. Later, I was in bands with my brothers too. We would gig every week in pubs and clubs. But the first proper gig I went to was B.B. King. It was the first time I’d seen a music god come out on stage. It was dazzling.”
And
“I’m not, by nature… I don’t want to be loud. I learned to be because I’m small and my job rewarded it, but it’s not how and who I am. I’d far rather just drift through – and that’s kind of what the song’s about. And I would offer that at my funeral, because I want my wife and my daughters to hear that I’m content. I’m happy. I’m just a breeze. I came along, existed and carried on. I’m happy to leave on that.”
