Hi Sol!
Ha! I was initially anticipating ‘Nightstalker’ vibes. The music certainly conjured that up - using that motif on guitar, e-piano etc.
Here in my home city, there’s a curfew because the kill rate of native wildlife is huge, so it’s not your loved one you should worry about!
Good song!
Andrew

Andrew Glad you were surprised at the end. I like that song style because it's so simple yet effective ( I think).

Hi, Sol. The rattle of the collar at 2:36 had me laughing.  Cool write! This line: But when it gets this late... Background Vocals:Three O'clock...also cracked me up. Fun song!

I guessed it around line 5 or 6 - but that did not spoil the fun.
What a great song! Loved the concept. Lyrics, backing band, and sound fx mesh perfectly. And those ultra smooth vocals are the icing on the cake.
Well done.

Very clever Sol. Great groove and chord progression topped off with an outstanding vocal. Super lyrics!
I really enjoyed this and I'm glad that this wasn't a cat-astrofic adventure.
I'm no longer allowed to go caroling at the psych hospital.
I guess Do You Hear What I Hear was a bad song choice!

Glad you followed directions and didn't read the lyrics first. I debated even putting the lyrics on there because I thought some people might read them first and mess up the surprise. Anyway, glad you like the song. I had fun writing it.

How many times has quarter-to-three shown up in a Blues song? Excellent vocal and guitar, Sol. I followed your directions and was very glad I did. I caught on a little before the end, but what a great twist.

I enjoyed that, Sol, musically and mentally imagining my cat Tigerlily starring in the video. She's a house cat, though, so no city streetwalkin' for her. Very clever. Have you heard of Xylophone Cat ?
