I also love this version! The simple composition makes the vocals even more cool! And the delicate and beautiful melody of the piano.

Gotta sack that drummer way too temperamental 😂😂😂 This is so nice anyway any version would make you smile!!

Yes, like make each other smile today. Any ideas? haha. great music, ya'll. I like the stripped down versions of your song. I believe you do this frequently. Normally cannot or shouldn't be done, but because you two are seasoned musicians/artists this gives a cool insight into the background of your creative processes

listened to a bunch of your page earlier this morning while making breakfast... but you can only pay so much attention before you start burning things.  so im back, strapped in with headphones and ready to go.  haha.

Love this stripped down version. Just wonderful songwriting, singing and musicianship!

This song & version is sure to make many people smile:)

This is beautifully jazzelicious and has made me smile this morning. Helen x

beautiful vocals and progression, great work!

As per usual, a work in progress until the last day of the corresponding month.
To get on these playlists, you have to make music that I like. 
That's the only criteria.

MTD Mixtape August 2022

About magician's assistants

I am the girl
in sequins and pearls
I live my whole life
As your prop

With a sleight of hand
I'm at your command
I am your girl in the box

That's how things go
In this magic show
I never know what you'll pick
And it's hard to see
which victim I'll be
Until we perform the trick

So I step inside
Go for my ride
And fold myself up in knots
Then you saw me in half
While I try not to laugh
I am your girl in the box

I spin on your wheel
As you throw your steel
And the colors pass by in a swirl
And if you're remiss
If you happen to miss
Will you find some other girl?

When I'm in this chest
I cannot rest
Because things are not 
What they seem

But your magic is too strong
So I play along
All the while I scream
I am the girl
Who tumbles and twirls
Never escaping your locks
My life is mis-made
I live in my grave

I am your girl in the box

Girl in the Box

Words

You know there's a story going on inside of me
When I sit down all I wanna do is feel free inside of my head
I don't wanna ever feel like I'm a burden to you
I don't wanna feel like a burden weighing down on you

And sometimes I talk to myself
Telling myself this is not the way to be
Sometimes I feel so depleted
I have no energy at all
I don't feel like being this way
But when I'm a million miles away from you, sitting in the same room
All I feel is sadness and gloom

And I don't want to burden you with my feelings at all
And I don't want to burden you at all

Break

Don't take me wrong I don't want to burden you at all
And you know in my heart that I would burn for you

Sometimes I think that, that you would get along fine if I was gone
Sometimes when you're not here
I see it all float away
I wanna let you know what I'm feeling but I just can't let go
I don't want to spoil this moment
I so just want to let you know

I don't want to be a burden to you
And you know in your heart I that would burn for you

No Burden

Release date : January 31 2022.

This is a track I mixed a little while ago. I do hope you like and enjoy. Thank you all for your time in listening to my work.

Our World Is Changing - TheDelta57

Two Shy People In Conversation

I was going through old files on my computer and found this - looks like the master copy is lost and all we have is this lossy MP3 but we might as well wack it up onto Soundcloud for posterity.....just me on pokey rudimentary piano, Gina on gorgeous vocals and the drummer we use while our demos are still in the very early phase of the creative process, the ubiquitous Mr. G.Arage-Band.....who is always upset 😡 when we replace his parts in the final versions of the songs........🤣
This version has different chords to what we ended up using in the finished version.
If you want to hear the "official" version you can find it here ----> https://soundcloud.com/cat-came-back/smile
And if you really want more, you can find the cute remix which we quite like here --->  https://soundcloud.com/cat-came-back/smile-zen-heartbeat-mix

Collab with Entheogenic Psychonaut.
I sent Josh a DADGAD electric guitar track, he put vocals and instruments on it and then I did a remix - this is the result :)
Great vocals and melody!!

Song For Cowbell And Voice

This is a magical collaboration with folks I've admired a while.   Finally got a chance to make something happen.  Thanks to STONERJAZZ for asking me to play on his cool bossa nova track.  Hope you enjoy!

lyrics
Wretched light so aptly said libra ish in their balanced dread
Wretched light of another day ln the soup out there
the falling down and getting up, it's "Showtime" Fossi said
As he popped amphetamine in the shower scene
Or so it's said by some writer of his dreamy technicolor happenstance
That made the cut.

Could it be scorcery that I see
Through jaded glasses full of gin
Or just a conjury of collected clarities'

So sweet the experiential meat
Dark or light the gods prefer
Is not what we do not do for us
But them.

The guillotine of thoughtless bliss
Takes the Serpent's head
And tiny lights appear around my bed.

Chase the monster south for 14 winters and a night
It grinned across the canyon with a monstrous delight
I thought I saw you yesterday up on the ridge behind my house
It might have been the way you turned your head to speak
But the wind you know it blew your words away
What you said I couldn’t’ say
You know it really doesn’t matter anyway

I added vocals to the theme song of Carpenter's HALLOWEEN

Lyrics:

What once made sense 
Falls down to my feet

And what I used to think 
Now dissolves like a dream

History once believed,
now the sun has bleached

A web of lies
Surrounds what we see

Nothing was ever real,
All made to deceive

We are at the 
edge of night

darkness increases,
swallowing the light

We scramble like rats
Fight each other for scraps

False lights explode,
To douse our fright

This coming storm 
Feels like the end

As wheat and tares 
Are separated again

Events unfold, 
draw us back 
Into eternity
We kick and scream
fighting that which saves

Why lose your soul
just to save your life?

There is no end,
in the truth, unite

The name that cannot be named
The door to all wonders
Will be revealed
Outside this dream
It calls, forever, 
forever beckoning

Outside the Dream(Hobocop & Cosmic Keanu)Video Available🎥

Another track from my EP "Short Songs For Tall People"
Lyrics:
You say your name is society and you think you’re sick?
Sit down, patient, and I’ll examine you!
Uh huh, just what I thought:
That complexion of yours--grey as a flophouse bed sheet.
Your breath--reeking of smog and sewer gas!
Headaches? What do you expect, with nothing but cash registers clanging inside your empty skull?

I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I've got an electric bongo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I howl, I scowl
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

Of course your stomach hurts!
You’ve swallowed too many dreams, too many hopes, and turned them into one gigantic ulcer.
Look out—your hands are trembling—any minute now and you may drop a bomb!

I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
Steely Dan's a dildo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I play pinball
I play Pachinko
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

I’ve got news for you, society—you’re not sick, you’re dead!
Solid Baby!
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I've got an electric bongo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

And I’m going to bury you and dance the twist on your grave!
Solid Baby!
(Punctuated by finger snaps and applause.)

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

A Multimedia Puzzle-Story Of An Immortal Being's Struggle To Define And Exert Their Will Upon A Wholly Deterministic And Ambivalent Multiverse, And The Strange Cult Who Loves Them.

--------

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."

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.
