Luna the Cat

Lyrics

do you know what true love is?
you know it when you're sad
and a little grey who cat knows for a fact
when you're down bad

always when i'm home from school
she pops up in my room
we will play for another day
and fix my mood

  sweet kitty, always right there for me
  how do you know? you're always there when i'm sad
  sweet kitty, always just what i need
  how do you know? you always help when i'm sad

each time something small to do
i feed her twice a day
i find the time to calm my mind
so we can play

sometimes when i feel alone
i remember that it's not true
i try my best despite the mess
she has no clue

  sweet kitty, always right there for me
  how do you know? you're always there when i'm sad
  sweet kitty, always just what i need
  how do you know? you always help when i'm sad

Song Notes

i wrote & recorded this song for my friend Amanda
the cat is real everyone
this song is everyone's favorite LOLOLOL

i sing "how do you know?" in this RIDICULOUS falsetto
	at the time,
	i was like... 
	"am i ruining this song?"
	and, no, i think people like that part
	there is a lesson in there...

Recording Notes

i use a fendy stratoblaster + Lace Sensor + op-amp Big Muff
	because i'm fucking obsessed with The Smashing Pumpkins
	and this song sounds nothing like them HA!
	(which is really what it means to be a Smashing Pumpkins fan)
i also use a POG for the bridge
kick on the tubescreamer for the outro cronch

a trivia q&a for u:
  Q: what amplifier was used extensively on Astro Alloy's
     multi-planimum smash hit, "Eighteen"?
  A: EHX Mig 50 reissue (no other guitar amps were used)
