aye bro bro follow me, lets make a track 

a great melding of styles in this-well done

Love the beat, and the vocal layers work so well

Better late than never, the cat was a bit busy over the last month - but here's our favourite listens from May 😼

The Cat's Favourite Soundcloud Listens May 2021

A song for my beautiful wife. Thanks to Iain McGowan for advice, feedback & kind support.

In the beginning there was nothing  which exploded.

Manchester

It ended up a lot more 80s than I originally intended.

Fish with anxiety problems
Lobsters with anxiety problems
Squid with anxiety problems

They think about
Disturbing facts
They think about
Things I don't want to
But I don't want to
Come across as
The kind of person
You'd walk away from so

I'm trying hard to be happy
Even though everything is wrong
I'm trying not to be down
Even though that doesn't really work

Girls with anxiety problems
Boys with anxiety problems
Robots with anxiety problems

They think too much
They focus on
On all the things that
That could go wrong but
But I don't want to
Come across as
The kind of person
You wouldn't talk to so

[Repeat chorus]

Fish with anxiety problems etc.

[Repeat chorus]

I'm Trying Hard To Be Happy

feel her presence

strong vibrations

don't be scared of things 

that are sacred

close your eyes

hear the silence

this is your freedom

it's what spiritual bodies have

Frida's words

eccentric views

simplicity

and youth

having visions

of objects in space and time

men from outer space

is this meladoptive daydreaming?

metaphysics of presence

ellipses of thought

this is exactly what i said

but not what you heard

Frida's words

eccentric views

simplicity

and youth

she's inspired, she's in awe

her star-shaped eyes don't look away for too long

her devices are divine

when she talks there's placid storm in her mouth

her ideas serve her well

senseless tropes don't suit her taste

she will save you

she'll watch over you

if you love her, she'll drop her guard for you

STANDARD TUNING // CAPO 3rd // C Am E7

Falsetto sunset
The day ain’t done yet
Things have been so hard
Can’t look you in eye
But still I try
I’m broken on the inside
Yeah, we’re all scarred

Out on the horizon
Lie all the lies that
You tell yourself each day
Whatever gets you through 
Another week or two
Say what you’ve got to say
Before it’s too late

A drop in the bucket
A dime a dozen
We’re so small 

I had dreams once
When I was young
Now I’m a stepping stone
For the paths of others
When you discover
That you’re all alone
There’s no point in pretending anymore

What do you think about at night
Before you sleep? 
Have you ever looked at the big screen?
The glowing enterprise
That we’re feeding with our lives
Just a tooth, in the gears,
In the wheel of the machine
 
A drop in the bucket
A dime a dozen
We’re so small

Just a tooth, in the gears, In the wheel of the machine

We’re so small

New shoes

Guttergob

lilacs to lip serve

the glue of my regret

There's plenty of room in this You-n-I-verse for everyone, and so much incredible experience to share. Stop being so obsessed with obsolete boundaries and hurtful self-limitation -- time to simply Grow With The Flow...

C'mon. Let's Go Play.

LYRICS

Let's go play
Crayon wherever you feel
Who says formal social dotted lines were 
truly ever real

What do you say?
Macro to forest scene scale
oh so much beauty to absorb
and even more love to exhale

Let's Go Play

To only Colour 'tween the strokes cross-borderlinin' obscene
Shouldn't matter who you know, from where you're born, 
or why 
you've been

Hit or miss-take, give, take a breath, that's the gist                                                 
Inspiration everywhere just waiting 
perspirate to be kissed

***

No need for complex
inter-play 
should generate a lust for life 
through all aspects
of light or dark each grain each shade of grey is still 
a hue

so why don't you brush up 'gainst this intimiate u-n-i verse
swipe away pretense, 
let's strip down -- 
context, and just 
converse

The Cat is currently sleeping while I look for a singer....
If you're interested in being part of Cat Came Back V2.0......drop me a line.....

Cat Came Back (up to 2023) were:
Gina Graham - vocals 
Graeme Mc Pherson - bass, keyboards, samples, beats, production. 
Music written by Graeme, words by Gina.

Our music can also be found on most of the popular streaming platforms but I can't guarantee it will always be there or even here on Soundcloud for that matter.... 
So if you really liked anything you heard here and want to keep it, please visit our Bandcamp page. Or if not ours, support someone else's music you've heard here - it's a tangible gesture that will make their day. 
There's a link below to my personal Bandcamp purchases and recommendations, many of which were artists I discovered here on Soundcloud.

Thanks for listening, Graeme.
