Sometimes if I’m doing a long run I’ll have a Honey Stinger waffle beforehand. They’re tasty and they supposedly give you energy. SASAMI begs to differ on new single “Honeycrash,” which seems to imply that eating these waffles is hampering my ability to reach my full potential. You know what would help, though? Listening to “Honeycrash” while running, an alt-rock opus that begins innocently enough before drums come crashing in and guitars unironically embrace the Evanescence tradition of serious crunch.
Regarding the track, SASAMI said: “I wanted to write a song with all the drama of a 19th century classical opera but with the patience and understanding of someone in therapy in 2024. Finding a love so great you’re willing to persist through the elements, even toward certain death to bear its ravishment. It’s about wanting to fight for the pinnacle of passion and desire but knowing that you can’t change or rush someone else’s feelings or where they’re at. But with a guitar as my sword and my steed.”
