As well as having the skill and ability to fully rock out you also have a great ear for melancholic melody in your writing. And a real bonus is your wonderful voice excels at both. LOVE the guitar sounds and work. Brilliant stuff Lauren. Are these new songs/versions with your band?

A great contemporary sound very instant and cool  melody. Love your vocals very modern indiepop sound . Excellent write 👍

This is really great Lauren. Did you do all the production on this? Sounds so good..

Come on people, hear the brilliance. This track should be being sung all around the globe, its a f*king.......HIT!!!

I've loved this song since I was a little girl rocking out in my parents' basement.

Automatic Karma Situation

The Old Water Wheel

Here's a very tentative new thing. 
This piano version is more stately and atmospheric while the alternate demo version is more fun and probably catchier. Both versions have their charms - we'd be really interested to hear which version people prefer!

You can hear the very different demo version here ---->> https://soundcloud.com/cat-came-back/clay-boombox-demo-version

You won’t hear me ask you if it’s right
I know what it’s like the other side
You won’t see me kiss the day goodnight
I will meet you only in the light

No more losing ground
Not for us
Not this time around
Take in everyone
That we can

She was trying to guide it to her dream
The clay was unaccustomed to her hands
She had yet to find the surest way
To make perfection from the falling clay

She was just trying to make good things come true
With parts and pieces bending upside down
He just knew he’s found the surest way
To keep from getting caught in falling clay

Clay (Piano Version)

Recombinant version of a tune from happier days......

Lyrics:

Someone come and see me at my grave please

Someone come and leave a flower for me 

Someone kiss the cold white stone

I don’t want to be dead and be alone


Someone say my name in remembrance 

Forever cold but need a warm embrace 

Touch my name carvered with tears

Dying was my biggest fear 


Dead and alone

God I don’t want to be

Dead and alone

dead, alone

You said we could still be friends
You said that I’d see your parents again
You said that AirPods were bad for your brain
So I got rid of them
You said don’t stay up all night, you can stay at mine
Close your eyes
Mmm
And it feels like a dull ache
Bad taste, for God’s sake
And it feels like I’m drowning
You found me, you lost me
I miss doing drugs with all your friends
Waking up hungover, sleeping in
The cracks in the floor don’t know where we have been
And you’re burned in my brain and you don’t even notice
And it feels like a dull ache
Bad taste, for God’s sake
And it feels like I’m drowning
You found me, you lost me

Dull Ache

transizioni inessenziali

I know how to get blood from a stone that was a heart. You soak it in red wine and Chicago blues 'til it breaks apart.

And by this alchemy, I see a million men marching to a cause.

Works And Days

Should it be I haunt your waking dreams and you're lost in thought all day. Then, go alone to our sacred place, our ringing realm of wild delight.

Should It Be

For a home to be a home, I'm told,
One needs a straw-broom seven centuries old.

It took years of dust passing through us
For you and I to come so unmoored.
And, now, no one home is quite home enough.

It's Hard To Tell

We used to be so young and free,
sanguine in our creed
We've lost more than we could ever know,
if only we could see

Can it be again?
That my friend will soon be found

Divine light shines through
Radiance beckons truth
when the dawn breaks the darkness
and the light brings the day in

I live, I die, I live again
death is not the end
So raise your glass and drink your mead
Our time will come my friends

Can it be again?
That my friend will soon be found

Divine light shines through
Radiance beckons truth
when the dawn breaks the darkness
and the light brings the day in

Grail

It said to tell a little bit about myself...my music is my empathy and my ability to share emotional content that others can connect with is what keeps me going :)

I have been writing songs on and off over the last 30+ years. In that time I’ve filled a couple of exercise books with quite a bit of music. I do my best with a very simple recording set up, the songs are all recorded using my 29 year old Washburn guitar and GarageBand on my iPad with a cheap mic in my front room, usually with a cup of coffee. And some biscuits.
