Usva The Cat

Bandcamp

Simple chord progression done with rnb 101 guitar playing. Begins with harmonica bend. Vocal delivery mostly on the beat making it more suitable for folk.  A dorian for the ‘going on slowly’ prechorus. The chorus goes from G to D/F# cos’ I wanted a nice bass movement and it also gives it a borrowed chord. I get to play with loud soft dynamics within the chorus and being true to the subject matter ‘pls take what little I have to offer’ is given a minimalist treatment with only vox and guitar. So you have the fierceness of ‘at all’ which is done in almost the same style as ‘give it all’ by Rise Against. The sitar ( only fake instrument) plays a Khamaj raga which is Mixlodyian mode. Know it fucks with the groove but I had to be true to subject matter. Also handpan which is a Christmas gift. Chord progression goes to G which is the key of the bridge. Some superimposition on piano for bridge. G7 which leads to back to Am for deceptive cadence. Ended making the beginning each phrase on the half of each bar. Piano is playing D throughout. Also played with A and C but they didn’t sound as nice. Not since Hurt by Johnny Cash has a single note been milked so hard. Almost EDM drops in the song so I could have turned it into folktronica. Adlibs for the final chorus were done in one take so the length of the final ‘peace’ is random. Can hold a note for longer than that but it's improvised. 

Lyrically, it is a love song/tribute to my fave novel Shantaram. When asked, about my fave song or fave movie I have a list. But fave novel-there’s only one that has brought me inner peace. I was given it by Indian bassist in uni during my first exp as frontman. It manages to be both a page turner and also has a constant mood of inner peace. Great lines as well as great romance between author and Karla. Still a much better love story than Twilight. In that respect the song isn’t too faithful cos it’ mood isn’t ‘constant inner peace.’ There are ‘explosions’ in song. The Indians called the protagonist Shantaram-which means ‘a man of gods peace.’ Not religious but have respect for religion.


I ain’t got no time
I ain’t got nowhere to go (improvised. Dunno what it means)
Ani auni vevyone. Hashem yashav li (first line is a slight melodic variation of refuge by matisyahu. Live at Stubbs. It’s taken from the Psalm of David and is in Hebrew/Yiddish. Second line is directly taken. I’m told he pronounces it too strongly but it helps with the singing that way.)
You lay my refuge down like Atlantis to the sea ( giving props to Matisyahu and also Donovan.)
Going slowly Going on slowly Going on slowly ey.


Chorus
I am mistaken for your love 
Oh rest assured I mean you no harm at all (some contradiction here. Go with the second line).
Please take what little I have to offer
No it ain’t’ much 
But it’s all I got you see
To be a man of God’s peace (Shantaram)
 a man of Gods peace (you know how the comments section for ‘Starboy’ is 来个鸡蛋。Lai ge ji dan. which means give me an egg. It's what Chinese people think look what you've done sounds like. Couldn’t unheard it for a while. For this, it’s 妈的尬屁。Which means ‘your mother’s awkward fart.’ 

Verse 2:
Defined by what we can endure
Not by what we can inflict  (A line from the novel. Paraphrased)
I chase the sunset down
With the colors of my wit (a lot of drinking goes on in the novel. Also a lot of colors)
Going on slowlyy going on slowly

Bridge:

I am the mountains that tear through the wind. (Taken from folk song 1 that I wrote. Was the chorus of that song but I didn’t like how it ended so now it’s a bridge. It is similar to, “when they tell you you’re not enough you tell them you are more than enough”- queen of wakanda. ) Also pretty badass vibes which fits the author of Shantaram.
I am the pain that shatters the glass
I am vicious when I am cut, I am delicious and a nut (the improvised lyrics were better than the ones that I focused on writing for the 1st song so I kept these)

My Divine Days

Toxic love

Four beuatiful kittens to Usva the Cat were born in a Divine way in the presence of Goddesses Angali, Varahi and Parvati.

Lyrics:

Divine Kittens Are Back

Usva gave birth this morning
and kittens are back  again

They are spirits
who came to teach
how to live
in Divine Light
with trust

Divine kittens are back again
Divine kittens are back again 

And I am ready to learn

Four beautiful spirits came
to give us much love

Divine kittens are back again
Divine kittens are back again

And I am ready to learn

The lesson is
trust life
and the Divine

Divine kittens are back again
Divine kittens are back again 

And I am ready to learn
with Goddesses

Angali Varahi Parvati

And I am ready to learn

Divine Kittens Are Back

way too many
