I like it very much. Sounds very special. Great vocals and cool percussion.

hell yes youre allowed to say that gina nailed it, again! but as awesome as her vox are, they truly start to shine in that fertile soil you plant her into!

Sweet Jesus. The music in this is just perfection! Always love your sound. The vocals are incredible, delicate and soothing. The beat, piano and synthy sounds are all just amazing. 

Nice and sparse and with texture.  Love this.

beautiful vocal performance. Really like the piano

I like the chromatic moments on the keys.  Surprising and original.

lovely vocals as always! really cool sound effects as well, very atmospheric!

Just gorgeous emotive vocal, perfectly framed in the mix 👏👏

Here’s a Journey into sound...The Original track was made with Korg Gadget then I used Ableton Live for the remix. Starts off in LoFi to get the full effect but as it advances into the mix it expands into stereo. Enjoy fam!

The number of ways to express loss? I think it must be infinite. The acuteness of pain and desperation is quite something and it cries out to be made beautiful. This is a breakup song. 
Note from Graeme - can I be the first to say - how good is Gina's singing on this? 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I'm sure it’s unhealthy
To live at the edge
Of a gaping hole like this
My favourite things 
Keep on falling in
I can’t hold them back

When you first left
I could camouflage it
With substitutes
But they don’t stand up
They don’t stand the test
I just saw right through them all

Please believe that anything
I ever said or did in any way
Was never ever ever 
Meant to smite you 
And please believe that anything
I ever said or did in any way 
Was never ever ever ever meant to spite you
Nothing was meant to go against the grain
Nothing was meant to cause you 
Grief or pain
The only thing I wanted 
For the wonder that was us
Was to delight you

Sometimes someone needs to know it’s all or nothing
Sometimes someone steps out of the crowd
Rises high above them
She can see him for miles
I’ll be yours forever
If that’s allowed
Will you hear me now
I say I’m sorry
I think I know exactly how it hurts
Can we talk it out 
You gotta know I’m sorry

I was knocked out when Jimmy offered this beautiful song to me to sing, but then it took me 3 months to build up the confidence and to practice it. Jimmy is one of my favourite singers on SC (or anywhere) and he makes everything sound easy as he is so professional, so I hope you don't mind my take on this. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your skills with me.

You complete me
no matter how I feel
even with my nerves of steel
when the day is done
I know something good has begun
you complete me
when the day is warm
and the blue skies form
we sail on a following sea
far away from big pine key

You Complete Me - J.Rivas & Mark J Bennett

Having washed his soul in the River, the main character from my last song has now become a better Man, well nearly a better man. When you listen to the lyrics i think we may all agree that he might have to make a visit back to the River ..pretty soon.

Used the same guitar as the last time, added some distortion to the lead guitar to add dynamics at the chorus and introduced an acoustic guitar in the Right speaker with the bridge pick up guitar in the left speaker, sort of spreads the sound, I loosened the snare on the  snare drum to get more of a rattle and pumped up the kick a bit. Hope you like it ..All you sinners .

Written, played and produced by: The sinner Johnny Mc Farlane.

A Better Man

Wrote this looking for shells on the Ormond-by-the-Sea beach.

Singer of My Life

Annmarie was a very close friend for a period in my life where I was generally feeling sorry for myself and often not the greatest person to hang out with. Annie, as I always called her, was a very dear friend during that time. Yet, when I went on to marry and raise a family, Annie became more and more isolated herself and it seemed I couldn’t keep our old friendship as it once so wonderfully was. When she passed away, too soon, these words came to me and I remember her often with a smile, straight talk and always a helping hand. Something I should have shown greater appreciation for when I had the chance.

This is a crude recording from my iPhone complete with background noise and such, but it was the first time I played it and decided it was what should be preserved despite its warts. I over-dubbed the harmonies and harmonica.

Lyrics: Annmarie by Craig Durgy

Annmarie, oh Annmarie
Her name is like a falling autumn leaf
She made me laugh, till I could see
That loneliness is at its best
Whenever she’s not here with me
Annmarie

When I was up, when I was down
I’d call on Annie, and she’d come around
No matter what, no matter when
She’d be sure to see that you’re
Supported by your very best friend
Annmarie

The only time she ever let me down, let me down
Was when she wouldn’t help herself come round, come around

When the days, took her away
The silence fell like secrets in the rain
She held me up, I let her fall
As the world got heavier 
The only thing I said to her caused pain
Annmarie, my Annmarie

喧噪に埋もれたうたの節回し
掘り当てようと
街をさまよう

Someone told me that melodies are buried in the hustle and bustle of the city. Since then, I have been walking around the city trying to dig out melodies.

Comet Nishimura, also known as C/2023 P1, was first spotted falling rapidly toward the sun on Aug. 12 by amateur Japanese astronomer Hideo Nishimura. The icy object has a green glow caused by high levels of dicarbon in its coma — the cloud of gas and dust that surrounds its solid core. Nishimura has survived its close encounter with the sun and begun its journey back into the outer reaches of the solar system. Once gone, it won’t return for around 430 years.

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.

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.
