"This One Eats Souls" is a single by The Blackeyed Susans, released in July 1994,[2] from their 1993 album, All Souls Alive.[3] The last four tracks are taken from the cassette album Hard Liquor, Soft Music by The Blackeyed Susans Trio.[4]
Allmusic's Ned Raggett describes the song as being "an absolutely bereft-of-hope lyric given beautiful, haunting music."[5]
The song was included on the band's 2009 compilation album Reveal Yourself 1989-2009[6] and was re-recorded by Rob Snarski on his 2014 solo album, Wounded Bird.[7]
