Cat Power Lyrics


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.

    ------ About the song The Greatest performed by Cat Power

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LYK_lOod0k&feature=youtube_gdata_player

This song is not about Ali...Go to the you tube link (above) and Chan Marshall
(aka.. Cat Power) will tell you exactly what its about! It's about all the hardships
we all go through in life, the human condition, being poor and having
to work constantly just to make it. It's about finally being able to rest
in the end. It's about being at peace with death and understanding
that in the end we are all the same.The imagery is southern because she ( like myself)
is a southern girl. Take my word for it or simply get it from the Cat's mouth!
Sorry about that, I couldn't resist!! ;)

you have every right!! | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song I Don't Blame You performed by Cat Power

To the mother who lost her child:

I love Cat Power and this song. Having said that ... you have the right to feel
anything you want after such a loss. I would never pretend to know what your
child was thinking when she had this in the background at the time of her suicide.
I would never try to analyze your thought process concerning this song and your distain
for it and its composer.It's not my place or anyone else's on this site! I am deeply sorry
for your loss and respect your right to feel whatever it is you feel. I would never want to hear it again either if this song represented to me what it has come to represent to you. It must be very hurtful to hear....I can't even imagine. I am so sorry.

    ------ About the song The Greatest performed by Cat Power

This song makes me think of fallen soldiers who have been laid to rest. Wanting to be strong enough to protect, and to bring about a peace through explaining.

It made me think of my friends brothers any my brother who have been laid beneath the ground, and it's almost like it's the song they sing to us so we know they're ok, that it wasn't all bad. That they did this for us or something. It kind of breaks my chest open in a way.

Cat Power has definitely taken up a residence in my heart.

    ------ About the song The Greatest performed by Cat Power

My son first introduced me to Cat Power and this song. Then I heard it in the movie "17 Again" and "My Blueberry Nights"...the second film, which starred Norah Jones, made the song more meaningful for me that I have to listen to it a few times a week. It is soulful, sad, dark yet makes one reflect on life. Few songs touch our souls in this way and it is indicative of how Cat Power puts all her emotion into her music.

Amazing. | Reviewer: Tallie
    ------ About the song Good Woman performed by Cat Power

I can't believe none of these reviews have mentioned Eddie Vedder's vocal contribution to this song! He is an amazing vocalist, and really brings something wonderful and emotional to this song.

I agree wholeheartedly with Brandie's review -- that these are two people who love each other very much, but can't be together because they bring out the worst in one another. It seems more bittersweet than sad or miserable to me, that the man and woman in the song are ending their relationship while the love is still strong, rather than letting it become bitter and hateful if they continue to be together.

    ------ About the song Metal Heart performed by Cat Power

Both versions of this song are quite stunning, altough I still prefer the original version I've been listening to it since Moon Pix came out in 1998 and I still get goosebumps every time I hear the first two lines. It was my first contact with her work, and right from that moment I became a huge fan. All her albums have something new to discover, so if you love Metal Heart you should definetly try the other ones. Chan Marshall has quite simply one of the most deep and soulful voices of her generation.

Broken hearted, in love with a song. | Reviewer: Hannah
    ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power

The movie Juno is my favorite movie, and it has helped me through some hard times as well. Though, it has been a while since I last saw the movie, when I today, came across this song on youtube. It sounded so familiar but I couldn't remember where I had heard it before. As soon as I realized where I first heard the song I immediately wanted to sing along and looked up the lyrics. I am sure this song will help me through my break-up which is going to happen today, weird, huh?

Sea of Love | Reviewer: sam crespo
    ------ About the song Sea of love performed by Cat Power

It just goes to show how important the music is in a song. Ive read all the comments on how beautiful this song is. And it is I am not knocking it. But realisticaly, its a 6 sentence paragraph. But the melody of the piano supporting the words is really what makes Sea of Love a tear-jerker. I too cried at that Juno scene, I saw it today and made me look up the lyrics and came across this site. Nice to see so many sentimental people ;)
