Photographer: Shawn Mortenson © 1999 "An undoubted talent...her chocolatey, sublime vocals evoke betrayal, heartache, and renewal more poetically than clumsy words ever could." —Melody Maker Cat Power is the nom de plume of Chan Marshall, good cop. Her last record, Moon Pix, was released in September 1998 and was hailed 'round the world as a paragon of modern songwriting. On The Covers Record, Chan applies her remarkable interpretive skills to a wide variety of influences, accompanying herself on only piano or guitar. Almost gruesome in its melancholy (think Pink Moon, Drama Of Exile, Music For A New Society...), she de/reconstructs these songs often to the point of unrecognizability. The result is one of the most striking records we've heard in years, a More... (Submit New Cat Power Lyrics) (Submit New Cat Power Lyrics) I think this song is beautiful | Reviewer: Likethesong ------ About the song American flag performed by Cat Power I don't personally find this song depressing but instead think it is beautiful. It is indeed as the other reviewer alluded to a desolate soundscape but the fact that she took some feeling like this and turned into a beautiful song I find inspiring. Amazing artist | Reviewer: Michael Finlan ------ About the song The Greatest performed by Cat Power You know how it is, every so often you come across an artist that you wonder how you did without. I love this song. The amazing thing about her is that she is super talented when it comes to covers. The cover she did of Serge Gainsbourgs song - I never thought an English version could work, because the lyrics if translated literally don't work and sound stupid. Then I heard her version and it's great. That was one song, I never could have imagined as having a good English cover. Kurt | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Don't Blame You performed by Cat Power Kurt killed himself not because he couldn't the fame. It's because he felt no empathy for other humans. He didn't feel anything anymore. He could'nt feed off the crowd and he felt this was a terrible sin and decided he shouldn't bother the world w/ it. I love this song | Reviewer: Kat the Dog ------ About the song Metal Heart performed by Cat Power I love this song, i have only the bluesy jukebox version, would love to hear the moon pix version when i get a chance... anyways this song is definitely among my favourites of all time, because it's one that anyone who's been through/going through hell will identify with, and if they are unaware on how to protect themselves from going potty, the lyrics tell it right (knock those walls down damn it and unwithdraw, reach out cos not everyone will shun)... She has a beautifull voice and I'm so glad I discovered her. Tom Waits lead me to Cat Power | Reviewer: sid ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power The title of this review is self-explanatory. I didn't know Cat Power were the original ones who wrote/composed the song. Nevertheless, it's an awesome song and communicates exactly what I want to tell my girlfriend. Awesome track. simple | Reviewer: . ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power This song, I heard from Juno, it's so amazing, it's so simple, yet it says so much. Brings tears to my eyes, sometimes, and yet it can also make me smile. I also listened to some of Chan's other songs and they're great. Her voice is... I can describe it, but it goes with the song perfectly. GREAT SONG! Didn't hear it on Juno | Reviewer: Marica ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power I didn't hear this song on Juno, I found Cat Power when looking for artists that sounded similar to Feist. This song is simply amazing, and for all those who like this and only heard it on Juno, I suggest you look into her other songs, particularly The Greatest (the first of hers that I heard!) It's a cover, but it's just as delightful [: ....absolutely amazing. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power I don't know how to describe this song...I first heard it watching Juno. Not only did it go perfectly for the scene/moment...But it's just a great song. No other song can make me feel so happy and so sad at the same time. All in all, this song is absolutely riveting. The Greatest | Reviewer: Albert Gonzalez ------ About the song The Greatest performed by Cat Power ...at some early stage in life we strive to be the greatest. Through time, we come to understanding of our Romantic disempowerment and we reflect on the struggles we've overcome. I am paralyzed by Marshall's linguistics and somber harmony and I just realized I have a Hot Pocket that I never ate last night in the microwave. Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power The first time i heard this song, i was at the movie theater seeing Juno with my ex boyfriend. Hearing this song brings back happy and sad memories. Cat Power has the ability to bring a smile to my face, and tears to my eyes. I love this song. Officially apart of my life now | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power I like this song a lot. I'm listening to it right now. It's perfect, really. I just wish it didn't make me think about some things...but I guess, that's what you get when you listen to a beautiful song. Moving. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power This song is an intimate choice for the scene in Juno, where I first heard it. It's perfect. Cat Powers voice is smooth and rich. It's an intense song with elements of sweet and soft appeal. My hat goes off to Cat Powers! Intense, moving, all of the above. | Reviewer: Charissa ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power This song is an intimate choice for the scene in Juno, where I first heard it. It's perfect. Cat Powers' voice is smooth and rich. It's an intense song with elements of sweet and soft appeal. My hat goes off to her and her amazing talent!! a song for all the inside | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Metal heart performed by Cat Power this song is found in the album moon pix but also in Jukebox where Cat Power gives a really profound and kinda blues version of it. You should really hear both of them. To me, its lyrics are probably the most sincere and profound she's ever written about what we hide inside and how we try to protect it while we should better expose it and feel free and opened up. All this accompanied by the deep and beautiful voice of Chan Marshall... Cobain | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Don't Blame You performed by Cat Power This is definitely about Kurt Cobain; it's supposed to be Chan Marshall's commentary on the event of his death. She's saying how she doesn't blame him for committing suicide (ignoring the whole did he/didn't he debate) because the fame was too much. The first verse can be seen as a comment on how reluctant he was to play Smells like Teen Spirit at every gig Nirvana played, even though many people would only attend gigs to hear that song. The gist of it is basically how she doesn’t blame him for giving up on it all, and resigning to the fact that he couldn’t cope. It’s not a sad song; it’s a forgiving, almost comforting song. It reminds us that there’s reason behind every action, and all we need to do is look at something, even something as serious as suicide, from the right angle, and we can empathise. Why this is a Great Song | Reviewer: K-Dawgg ------ About the song The Greatest performed by Cat Power It's true, well for me atleast it's true, my whole life i looked up to legends, most espically underdog legends. My entire childhood i felt like an underdog which is why I can relate so much to this song because it's about overcoming the odds and eventually becoming the greatest, The song can be seen as a nostalgic view of a period where one was once the greatest at something, sort of like a retired wise old athlete thinking back on their record breaking sprint... Once I wanted to be the greatest... The song is about making a difference in yourself if not the world, just beautiful, like to listen to it to keep me motivated and one day I know i will be the greatest, humble yet great just like this song metal heart | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Metal heart performed by Cat Power every so often i hear a song that gets right inside me. Metal heart is one such song. Her voice is amazing, particularly at the start, the lyrics are suitably elliptical, and the slow mournful way the song builds up is incredibly effective Beautiful | Reviewer: Raquel ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power The remastered version of Sea of Love by Cat Power is beautiful. There really is no other way to describe it. Cat Power has an amazing voice which was perfect for this song. I heard it for the first time in the movie Juno during a life changing moment. All I can say is "perfect timing." Wow. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power The first time I heard this song was in Juno. It sounded really beautiful and when I got the soundtrack and heard it again it really moved me. Chan's voice is amazing and the lyrics are simple yet they say so much. It's a really good cover. The Greatest | Reviewer: Joel Smith ------ About the song The Greatest performed by Cat Power This is a great song, lyrically and instrumentally blessed. The andante of the instruments make meandering impressions open for deeming hearts. I love it.
