about

The bassist of synth-pop band, The Monitors; Sam Feinstein is a singer-songwriter from Massachusetts that brings a gruff voice, a wide variety of musical influences , and years of audio-engineering experience to his unique take on synth-pop.

Springboarding off the success of Hamster Wheel, Maslow's Mountain is a fast-paced synth-rock song, inspired by the music of The Eurhythmics, Devo, and Eurovison. Maslow's Mountain critiques the difficulty of achieving self-actualization in a world where we have to work-hard and struggle to meet our most basic needs.

lyrics

It's just eat again, then clean again, then gotta get more green again
And if you want to dream again get back up on your feet
If you're aiming higher there's no room for base desires
Oh you've gotta light a fire if you ever want to feel
Complete

Takes so much effort to survive
Can we ever hope to thrive
Do you dare to climb up Maslow's Mountain
Sense a burning rhythmic drive:
Hearts that yearn to feel alive!
Will they reach the top of Maslow's Mountain

Just sweat some more, and bet some more. and get yourself in debt some more
Drag that cigarette some more to dull your hungry mind
You know the dream is dying and you've been so tired of trying
that you've gotten used to lying, thinking everything is fine
Resigned

Takes so much effort to survive,
Can we ever hope to thrive
Do you dare to climb up Maslow's Mountain
Sense a burning rhythmic drive
Hearts that yearn to feel alive
Will they reach the top of Maslow's Mountain

Though the outlook may seem bleak
As we struggle toward the peak
We are priming fires
Climbing higher,
Self fulfillment is in view

Takes so much effort to survive
Can we ever hope to thrive
Do you dare to climb up Maslow's Mountain
Sense a burning rhythmic drive
Hearts that yearn to feel alive
Will they reach the top of Maslow's Mountain

Takes so much effort to survive
Can we ever hope to thrive
Do you dare to climb up Maslow's Mountain
Sense a burning rhythmic drive
Hearts that yearn to feel alive
Will they reach the top of Maslow's Mountain
