Great to hear something new from you! Always different, intelligent and entertaining. I hear ya with that damn black dog, as he sometimes barks all night at me as well. Keep well friend!

enchanting voice, mesmerising sounds of flutes

Wow. What a Swan Song. This crushes my soul as much as it crushes it as a final collaboration between two incredibly gifted musi-cats. Whether the lyrics are meta-meant to likewise provide a gorgeous yet heartwrenching Last WIll and Testametament, it certainly cuts me to the quick, leaves me bleeding and craving all the more, even as I struggle to grasp the harsh and cruel finality -- the Idea that this once-in-a-lifetime magic, this larger than life Ca(s)t may never come back.

So cute and quirky, lovely vox and synthy weirdness!

Jeez --how could something this good come from a fraught partnership? Or how could it not. Life is short and nothing says you gotta do this, unless it does.  I sure like this tune.

Beautiful strong and playful vocals and the track overall has so many brilliant layers, love it 💜💜💜

Lyrics:

(The Mysterious D.)
Rain falls from the light
The vows of the fox burn bright

(Cosmic K.)
Sun shines as the rain falls
Shadowy forest filled with lights
Silently processing forward
In the trees, flashing bright

Foxfire flicks between realities
Lures unwelcome eyes
If they catch you watching,
best atone --
if you are wise

(The Mysterious D.)
In the land of the rising sun, where legends,
myths and magic is spun
There's a tail of a fox bride
who comes with the rain by her side

(Cosmic K.)
Foxfire flicks between realities
Lures unwelcome eyes
If they catch you watching,
best atone --
if you are wise

(Mysterious D.)
In the land of eternal forest
where the love lies deep in root
If the fox groom sees you looking,
You might meet his overbearing tooth

Brand New Collaboration with the Man that is Lou Osiavo https://soundcloud.com/user-659662265
He really hit my heart with this amazing track , i knew i had to write with him on this. The ultra talented artist who has many aliases , IPG , Level One Up , you get the picture , go give him some love.
Lyrics:-
Now is all we've got and
For now 
We're Present
Wow It's such a concept
That now
Is this moment

Now is all we have
And now is over
Now is all we have
And now is over

"WHEN" is just a flicker
Of light 
My friend
"THEN" is just a glimmer
of hope 
Again

Now is all we have
And now is over
Now is all we have
And now is over

Now Is Over

Now Is Over - Lou Osiavo & winkandwoo

telephone the twilite zone and check the mists aswirling 
and see if they have got a line on a fella named rod serling.
set him down and warm his bones and enquire so politely
about his health and what he sees in the zone on TV nightly
reruns reruns reruns, ozzie desi lucy, beaver follows sky king
so much time who can be choosy
chorus
black and white, no blue no red,
there’s no color in the zone when you’re dead
black and white, no yellow no green
we all live forever on the silver screen.

press the button, change the channel, what is real distinguished panel
doctors lawyers cops and robbers, cowboys indians knowing fathers
endless talk show sitcom movie, of your fate it does behoove me
to forewarn you, to advise, less your demise should surprise
no hot flames no sulphur pits, repeats are the worst of it.
chorus 
black and white, not blue no red,
there’s no color in the zone when you’re dead
black and white, no yellow no green
the dead live forever on the TV screen.
they’re timeless lights and shadow
live forever though they’re cancelled
change the station change the view
i think they died from deja vu.

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.

This is the final result of our new collaboration and another musical journey to which we invite you. There has already been an expedition into space and into the depths of the ocean.

Lightning In A Bottle

It’s another day to be aware,
another thought to hang in air.
Every breath becomes a mirror,
every question brings you nearer.

⸻

Verse 1 — Slow build, steady bassline
You fall inside, the spiral grows,
identity’s mask, the self it shows.
You’re not whole, but you’re not gone,
a partial witness before the song.
Not fully here, not fully away,
you are night rehearsing day.

⸻

Fall down, rise again,
the answer hides within.
When you question God, you question self,
awareness is the hidden wealth.
Gravity pulls, love breaks the spell,
you are the singer in your own well.

⸻

Black hole’s breath, singularity wide,
despair and love collide inside.
You are the vortex, you are the seam,
the maker of nightmares, the dream of the dream.
Gravity whispers: stay, don’t flee,
you are the lock, you are the key.

⸻

Fall down, rise again,
the echo sings, the echo bends.
When you question God, you question self,
you are the book upon the shelf.
Energy moves, awareness tells,
you are the spell in your own wells.

Control of identity, 
the cage of infinity.
What bends returns,
what fears still burns.
But when you listen, truly see—
the question is the key.

⸻

You want more matter, but give less flame,
you want the need without the name.
Time is motion, never still,
want and need bend to will.
Here you go, the thought you sought:
when you question God, you question thought.

⸻

Fall down, rise again,
the paradox is friend.
When you question God, you question self,
awareness is your living wealth.
Never alone, never denied,
you are the question you cannot hide.

⸻

Another day to be aware,
another breath, another prayer.
In every thought, the truth is spelled:
when you question God, you question self.

Gravity Well (Question God, Question Self)

Netrucho Music Proyect seems to be exploring a blend of Afrobeat, jazz, and traditional music.

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.
