(no/maybe) this is from a collection of my very personal tracks, which i keep close for various reasons, but it's been a decade so maybe it's time to share now.

it's a pretty song, it feels like it has a lot of space, but it's sad and reaching, too

it's named after a phrase i overheard/misheard in the background from a tv broadcast - an announcer describes a cat and a toddler playing

i wrote it at my parents' house with a computer program called "buzz tracker" which was like a modular synthesizer mixed with a spreadsheet. the date on the file says august 30th 2003. so this was back in the day and i used to play this song at shows once in a while (if you can believe that) - i was lugging a desktop computer (with a monitor) to gigs at the time because i had coded these live granular patches but they ran way too slow on any laptop at the time!

picture related - it is me from ten years ago, the same month this song was made

there's lots more back story but probably only i care about that part!

the voice choir is loops of me + a guitar, but can you guess the name of the person talking in the background...?
