about

The eye of the cat was inspired by Carla Bley's Ohos de Gato, which I discovered during an online Jazz Improvisation Course..(Berkee/Coursera June 2013) I took the slightlly creepy feel, and the title.. and this is what came out.. based around a loop-style accompaniment reminiscent of Buena Vista Social Club, the words take you on a journey of their own.. and the effect is made slightly more sinister by the use of vocal transformations to bring out the supernatural element.

lyrics

The Eye of the Cat

Looking back - nine lives
All about to expire

The eye says: “I can’t hear you
But I fear you”

Orange, green.
The colour of cream.
The colour of fish
darting in the stream.

The memories before

and instead
and all the things I dreamt about every day
every night, every moment.

just survive

The eye..
says it all..

The eye of the cat is bright
The eye of the cat at night..

Everything lives on.
Everything loves on.

Everything lives on.
Everything.

Little bird little bee
Little fly
Little rat little rabbit

Little .... goodbye..

The eye of the cat.

Night time (day time)
Night time (day time)

It’s night time and now I die...

Fading

You catch a glimpse of one
Before it closes forever.
