Song Of The Week – 8/26

I’m going to try out a new feature on this blog called Song Of The Week. It’s kind of self-explainatory. Let me know if you want it to continue!

SONG OF THE WEEK 8/26

Title: Virtute The Cat Explains Her Departure

Artist: The Weakerthans

Album: Reunion Tour

Why You Should Care: This song came on the stereo last night as I drove home, and I soaked it in as I cruised through the empty Massachusetts streets. It is one of the few songs that made me tear up the first time I heard it – a true masterpiece. As the title suggests, the song is from the perspective of a cat who has run away from home, trying to explain to her owner why she felt the need to run away. The part that really gets to me are the lines where the cat speaks about “the sound that he found for me” – which, I can only assume, is how a cat would think about her own name.

Listen When: You are feeling pensive or reflective, or in a general need for some amazing lyricism.
