about

Here’s a new song: Cat 13. I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it. I certainly enjoyed writing and recording this one. The song starts quite minimalistic but builds up to a broader sound with strings, synths and some subtle brass arrangements. And that contrast really captures the mood of the song: wanting to connect with the world around you, but feeling slightly apprehensive about reaching out at the same time.

lyrics

Back to the wall
Until the crowd is tame

Try to blend in
All natural

I’ll be waiting in the car
It’s fine
I’m watching the cat in the mirror
Avoiding strangers

You don’t know what you are asking for

Back to the wall
Until the crowd is tame

Try to give in
Or you won’t last a day

I’ll be waiting in the car
It’s fine
I’m watching the cat in the mirror
Avoiding strangers

Crane your neck over the garden fence
Avoiding strangers
Why stand rooted to the spot again
Avoiding strangers
Crane your neck over the garden fence
Avoiding strangers
Why stand rooted to the spot again

I’ll be waiting in the car
It’s fine
I’m watching the cat in the mirror
