about

'Louie' is the story of an ex-housemate's cat's journey to Melbourne via air travel. He doesn't understand what's going on or when he'll be free again, so he reflects on how he has taken his owner for granted. Louie wants his owner to know that despite his temperament, he loves her, and would do "anything for one more word". It was recorded at Bedlam Records (Indooroopilly, Brisbane, AUS) in 2020. It was released on September 10th via independent distribution.

lyrics

Whisked away one afternoon, strapped in a metal can.
I can't ignore the rumbling that I don't understand.
It always feels it's been too long, I need to see your face again,
Any day.

See the animal in me.
See the animal in me.
And never let your mind forget my alien sincerity.

Time for you was up to me, I know that don't feel great.
Showing you my gratitude, well that's a guy I ain't.
But anything for one more word, I'll be a feline saint,
Every day.

See the animal in me.
See the animal in me.
And never let your mind forget my alien sincerity.

See the animal in me.
See the animal in me.
See the animal in me.
