You got a phone call from someone unknown. You think it’s a scam call but is was actually an alien trying to talk to you. You leave, scared for your safety. A few hours later, you are enjoying yourself when the phone rings again. This time, it’s a survivor group that was thinking the same thing about the futuristic city and so you recruit them to try to find the way out together.

LYRICS BELOW (click "Show more")
When I wrote this duet, I had Amanda Sanderson's distinctively beautiful voice in mind. The song itself is an outgrowth or continuation of a poetry collection I published a few years ago, "The Book of Arabella."
Both the song and the poems are about a mysterious, otherworldly woman, Arabella, who feels trapped in a marriage, trapped in fact in her human body.
Here's a link to that poetry collection for the curious:

(...and yes, that is actually our cat in the photo on the big clock above the piano)
Instruments used:
All three guitar tracks played on my Gretsch 5622T
plus Fender (Squier) Jaguar SS bass
Angel chorus sung by angels...well, actually Alchemy synth

***Cat on a Clock***
(Words & music by Timothy Walsh)
Verse 1 (Him)
You come softly down the stairs into my waiting arms.
Hand you coffee, touch your hair…it seems that you’re not there.
I don’t say it but I know, on this special day,
your body’s here with me, but you’re a million miles away.
I don’t say it—I don’t want to tell no one—
You’re going nowhere but you’re always on the run.

Verse 2 (Arabella)
Morning comes, I stretch in bed, see the sun come through the blinds.
Hear you in the kitchen there, smell the coffee so divine.
I rub my eyes, decide if I can slide into this day,
or maybe spread my wings and softly fly away.
I don’t know why I’m so restless in this world.
It’s like I’m from some country where I can’t return.

CHORUS:
You’re like a cat upon a clock sleeping in the sun,
whiling away your time on earth until our day is done.
Just like a cat upon a clock dreaming through the day
while the world outside goes on and softly spins away.

Verse 3 (Him)
Twilight comes and I see you in the garden where
the cedars and the pines are your sisters in the sky.
You walk out among the herbs, barefoot on the bricks,
smell the chervil and the thyme that never ask you why.
You’re so lost to me I don’t know what I’ll do.
I’m so in love with every single thing you do.

Verse 4 (Arabella)
Some days I wish that I could go flying through the sky—
spread my wings just like a crow and take off with a sigh.
Somewhere beyond the moon, I think I’ll find my home,
far away from this earth and this house of flesh and bone.
I’m not angry, I just don’t know how to say
I’m a creature not like you in any way.

CHORUS (sung twice)

Cat On A Clock (early demo mix)

Dissonance in music is not often accepted and yet it is part of every individual in the form of cognitive dissonance, a very interesting topic in social psychology.
In music, I have a certain pleasure in playing with this dissonance which brings, for my part, a complementary expression in the message that I construct, that I shape. This music thus delivers two opposites, the "pure" note and the "bastard" note, which when well orchestrated (if I may say so) ends up giving another dimension to the composition. I love this exercise which gives me the impression of being a cat that must constantly fall back on its paws, moreover the dissonance is a certain form of search for balance :-)

Well, the only error of George Orwell was to think that Big Brother could be a so bad guy...

Lyrics

He's just the mirror of the street
Why hate him, why hate him
We want to find our place
To create our space
We want to follow the stream
To live our dream
At the top of the wave
To surf a little moment and then we drown in the sea
We feel so small – (just disconnected - must be connected)
We feel so poor – (just disconnected)
The Network is our God our mate our father the Queen Mam
The Network is our Guide our gateway our bird the boss we work for
Growing up silently, looking friendly
Gentle Big Brother's feeding our soul
Growing up silently, looking friendly
Gentle Big Brother's leading our soul
He's just the mirror of the street
Why hate him, why hate him
Smiling into webcams
Smiling all the time
We want to be at the top
Of the list of keywords
At the top of the wave
To surf a little moment and then we drown in the sea - That's life
We feel so heavy – (just disconnected - must be connected)
We feel so empty – (just disconnected)
The Network is our God our mate our father the Queen Mam
The Network is our Guide our gateway our bird the boss we work for...
Growing up silently, looking friendly...
