Feb 2022 cat a-capella-with-percussion spiritual folk
Arthur likes to bite things. Mostly cat toys. However, one problem is that his definition of "cat toys" includes hands. We are working on separating these categories.
Lyrics, melody, and singing by me. Arrangement and mixing by Jon S. Patton (@midwayfair). Percussion by me and Jon S. Patton.
This is intended to evoke the feeling of a bunch of people sitting around a fire in a dark forest, sharing a traditional tune regarding how much a cat likes to bite things.
Oh the biting
oh oh the biting
oh the biting
kitty face
Oh the biting
oh oh the biting
show us your fearsome
kitty teeth
Grab the hand
pull it out of the sky
fearsome hunter
in wait you lie
Oh the biting
oh oh the biting
oh the biting
kitty face
Ambush hunter
pounce the string
find its neck
and to death you'll wring
Oh the biting
oh oh the biting
show us your fearsome
kitty teeth

I like the melody in this. I can imagine a group singing around a campfire for sure!! Very rythmic

This is wonderful! Cat gospel! Is there more to come? Strongly harmonic (emphasised by your vocal matches), this would work up a treat with a Rhodes, vibraphone and bass (I know 'cos I tried a play along. Eb minor.) Download! (PLEASE put your name or FAWM name in filenames--see the forums for why)

Cat acapella is an underrated genre. This is great! I can imagine a group singing this around a camp fire.

ok this is a fun song. Never would have through to write about a kitty in this style.
