Chanan Hanspal - It's only just a garden (Kay Suzuki Remix)

Out on Sharp Attack records on Friday the 6th of December

The night sky is thinning, into daytime 
I see a faint moon still slightly glowing 
My head is still spinning, from here I see at least four empty bottles of wine 
But I’m feeling more or less fine I guess 

Take a pull of a morning cigarette, live life strong, no regrets 
But alcohol does funny things to my head and my head dictates what gets said so
Think I’ve lost half my things, they’re my belongings
As well as a damn good night's sleep, bags under the eyes, what a surprise

I don't know, I don't know
How to describe last night
Because I don’t really remember much 
The missing link, and too much time to think and now it’s all 

Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 

The night sky is thinning, a violet rise
First birds fly, dawn is showing 
My head is spinning, hear them breath 
Others sleep, dream to dream, while I lie still

I don't know, I don't know
How to describe last night
Because I don’t really remember much 
The missing link, and too much time to think and now its all 

Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 
Look what the cat dragged in 

One sweep of your hand 
All of the colours
Swirl into quicksand
They are washed over 
Time she forgave us 
Just like she promised 
It's been so many years 
I will remember this 


The night sky is thinning, into daytime
My head is spinning

I don't know, I don't know
How to describe that night
Because I don’t really remember much 
The missing link and too much time to think and now it’s all 
Look what the cat dragged in

LOOK WHAT THE CAT DRAGGED IN

Phoebe Coco’s piano is reminiscent of Phillip Glass and undulates with synth bass, drum machines, harmonicas and shakers with the voices of Phoebe Coco and her sisters textured harmonies lulling us throughout.
 Co-produced by Marc Makarov, Vanessa Anne Redd (of Sharp Attack Records) and Phoebe herself, it has been mixed by multi Grammy award winning Eduardo De La Paz, and mastered by Kevin Tuffy.

Different

'Strangeness led us here...’
 The song came to be through a series of dream like scenes, words and frequencies on the air.  A tapestry of undulating harmonies, hums, Phoebe Coco’s voice and three pianos are woven together co-produced with Marc Makavov and mixed by Grammy Award winning Eduardo De Le Paz.
