Robin Kester – Cat 13

Memory Girl released on Fortress Sounds via AWAL 5th April 2022. 

This anthemic single serves as the album's title track and was written after a hugely successful call-out campaign for her fan's memories & nostalgia to use as inspiration for the song.  

This creates a beautiful contrast to the album which was written about Natalie's childhood & adulthood experiences.

“I’m always looking for ways to challenge myself as an artist and songwriter. Sometimes that curveball move which puts you outside of your comfort zone leads to an amazing discovery, and I love experiencing that. 

Because Memory Girl (the album) is so rooted in my own story and memories, I wanted to ask my fans for theirs - for inspiration, for something more that felt exciting and inclusive. 

What I received from them was above and beyond my initial expectation, I was truly in awe of some of them. The one that resonated with me the most was a man’s story about growing up with his twin sister, growing apart, growing together again through life. 

I really connected with it because it made me think of my own family, parents, grandparents - how they were when they were young and travelling through life in their own stories, growing up. It also felt like a continuation of the album - which has themes of mirroring, and twin imagery.  I was so connected to it that when I came to write the song it made me very emotional.

There is real weight attached to creating work around someone else’s story, and I wanted to celebrate and respect that. I’m really proud of the song and production.”

Gold Horizons

I only ever listen to love songs
The kind that make you wanna die
I wish I could think of something different
But I every time I sing I just wanna break down and cry

I only ever think about heartbreak
I try to find it every day
I wish I didn’t martyr myself for romance
I’m stuck in the hook and I can’t get away

I don’t wanna sing a chorus
I don’t wanna repeat myself
I don’t wanna make this a love song
But I don’t want to do anything else

I don’t wanna sing a chorus
I don’t wanna repeat myself
I don’t wanna keep living in the past
But I don’t want to do anything else

Good God Regina It's A Bomb

TV tells me if I work hard enough 
There's a million things I can buy 
Like freedom, love, good looks, 
Sex, smarts, happiness and time 
I wonder if that great promise 
Only serves to drive and distract me 
Reality sets and I know I can possess 
All of those assets in my life without money 

And that's The Real Tea, drink, drink 
And that's The Real Tea, drink, drink 
You can spend a lifetime never being satisfied 
Don't let it pass you by 
And that's The Real Tea, drink, drink 
And that's The Real Tea, drink, drink 
You can spend a lifetime never being satisfied 
Suck it up, drink it up 
There's only one life 

You can achieve all of your dreams, oh please 
I don't need pressure from these empty screens 
You know what I see when I'm actually asleep 
I move through space and fly through abstract scenes 
Too tired to aspire, all I need's an open fire 
And the stars up above in the sky 
Between the joie de vivre and the l'appel du vide 
I really think we can live 'cause we die 

And that's The Real Tea, drink, drink 
And that's The Real Tea, drink, drink 
You can spend a lifetime never being satisfied 
Don't let it pass you by 
And that's The Real Tea, drink, drink 
And that's The Real Tea, drink, drink 
You can spend a lifetime never being satisfied 
Suck it up, drink it up 
There's only one life 

And that's The Real Tea, drink, drink 
And that's The Real Tea, drink, drink 
You can spend a lifetime never being satisfied 
Don't let it pass you by 
And that's The Real Tea, drink, drink 
And that's The Real Tea, drink, drink 
You can spend a lifetime never being satisfied 
Suck it up, drink it up 
There's only one life 

Suck it up, drink it up 
There's only one life
