Hey, this is great! Love the sound. Great writing. I was just thumbing thru my few favs and here was this gem! Superb!

Great lyrics, vocals and catchy music Lawrence!

Good song! - quite a distinctive rhythm and sound sets it apart

Wow this is really cool!!  I really dig that twitchy, funky bass with that giant tone.  And great vocals too. This is almost kinda King Crimson Prog but it's totally in the pocket and accessible.

I somehow missed it.... :(  Very good work.  Chapeau!

Love the production on this Lawrence, great musicianship.

A bit difference and catchy rhythm  -- well done Lawrence -- enjoyed this !!

Words

You tell me
What you want me to hear
And you won't look me in the eye whenever your speaking
You hide the truth in the maze in your mind
Are you scared to hurt my feelings
Or do you think I can't see
'cause one more lie
Ain't going to make a difference

Chorus
And will you ever speak straight
And will you ever look in my eyes
And will you ever stop that thing you do
Hiding behind your disguise

Break

Your twisted expressions
Give you away
When your words form in your head
I'm sure they sound so pure
But when they reach my ears
I start to bleed tears
One more lie won't break me, no
I won't let it break me

Chorus
And will you ever speak straight
And will you ever look in my eyes
And will you ever stop that thing you do
Hiding behind your disguise

Break

Don't speak a word
The truth lies in your silence

One Little Lie

Is anyone still out there?
Well hello there if you are taking some of your valuable time to read this! As the lyrics to this (probably)final song say, its been a long while……
The last time I checked into Soundcloud was maybe last December, wow…. 
I packed up for a holiday in Hawaii, ran the Honolulu Marathon, watched a volcano erupt, cast my dog’s ashes into a lava field and drank a tropical island's worth of cocktails while watching the sunset with my wife. And then returned a few weeks later decidedly unenthused about the Cat and my collaborator.
Gina had been making noises about returning to an on again / off again musical partner. That wasn’t unexpected and was actually a bit of a relief as I hadn’t been enjoying this for a while. Our last few songs had been tortuous to finish, including this one which was finally finished I think way back in October 2022.
Cat Came Back was always a lot like an arranged marriage - nothing at all in common but we kind of made it work 3 minutes at a time. But by late last year, it had become very hard work. And as you fellow Soundclouders know, outside of personal satisfaction, the rewards for all of that hard work are not very large. So, if the personal satisfaction is gone, there’s not a lot left to motivate oneself. 
In addition to that, there were a few rather large elephants in the room regarding my collaborator that I won't go into but nevertheless constantly weighed very heavily on my mind throughout our time together and I was finding these increasingly difficult to continue to ignore for the sake of making music together.
So anyway, when I returned a perhaps brief hiatus accidentally turned into this - silence for what, 7-8 months? Haven’t picked up an instrument in all that time and they currently sit in my garage gathering dust. Took up Chess, what a rabbit hole that is! Continued running. Listening as always to a lot of old jazz. Continued seemingly never ending renovations to my house. Spent a lot of time with my lifelong friend, William Styron’s Black Dog, as a matter of fact he's here sitting right by my side now. 
So what now? I sat down a few days back and listened to a few things that were unfinished as of late last year. Maybe its time to start again. Find a new collaborator or two? Anyone know anyone who might be a match?
In the meantime I’ll dip my toe in and check out what some of my favourite Soundclouders have been up to while I was away. I'm sure I've missed out on some really great stuff.

Thanks to Grace for harmonies.

Hey you, with your mask and your MP3,
where d’you think you’re going to?
I got someone I got to see,
maybe too good to be true.

Hold on, 		        just a little bit longer
Reach out, 		just a little bit further
Head down, 		in the overhead crossfire
Fading with the evening

Hey, with your bed on your shoulder pack, 
when d’you think you’re coming home?
I just need to get back to my love,
been too long alone

How long, 			when you com’in back kid?
Head strong, 			you’re radio active
Done nothing wrong,	I wish you’d come back now
You broken rolling stone

Hey, you, with your style and your different friends,
with your new name, what d’you think you’ve done?
I’m in between two places,
don’t belong in either one.

Long time, 		searching for obscurity
Maybe 		        a little bit traumatized
Seems like 		all the time she knew me
Searching for a sign
Shining 		        blue and green beryline
Coming home,		maybe Sapphirine
She smiles,		she smiles like you’ve never seen
I wish I was there

Aquamarine

UNTIL THE END
Please be my friend
I"ll tell the Truth
Even though sometimes 
I'm afraid...

Plus Jean Bernard Scotto in the end!

Drums&Prog: Jean Bernard Lepape & Loony De Bussy

My love will never leave me
As I can reveal it for you
Stay, and I won't be afraid
