Even after I found out it was about a cat, that didn't change for me the feeling of sorrow that emanates from both the words and the music. Of course, I'm also a cat person and, even if the loss of a cat doesn't equal the loss of a loved human, it is still a loss, especially if the critter has been part of your life for a long time. >________________________________ > From: Lori Renee Fye >To: Rob Procyk >Cc: "joni@smoe.org" >Sent: Monday, May 12, 2014 3:03:58 AM >Subject: Re: CMIARS and everything else > > > >> In retrospect, does a song written for a cat seem like a lame motif? > >Only if you know it's about a cat.
