"The Same Way" is the fifth #SONGO of 2023 by Catscan! thecatscanwebsite.com It features a verse by vocalist Pete Faust of The Electric Grandmother https://www.electricgrandmother.com/ --- Do you feel the same way? I feel the same way Do you feel the same way? Everybody's older All the ones we knew The golden age is over The golden days are through Do you feel the same way? I feel the same way Do you feel the same way? Robots write the music All songs sound the same YouTube making you sick Who's the one to blame? Do you feel the same way? I feel the same way Do you feel the same way? "Back in my day!" Is what the guys say As we fade away But the times we had Were made more bad again As we remember them Check this out My facing backwards got the kind of dumb Cuz in reality I was on the run Though I'd like to think I was having fun My real days had the stressors on Cuz I feel just like how the singer does That the past just shouldn't last because All the time spent building up til now Was the real shit that showed you how Do you feel the same way? I feel the same way Do you feel the same way? That's the real shit that shows you how Take him outside and punch him now Kick him in the nards with a baking plow Do you feel the same way? I feel the same way Do you feel the same way?

In the early 1980s, THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS received an unlabeled cassette tape of this mysterious song which they later misattributed to Deep Blue Something (of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" fame). According to John Flansburgh: "You know, when you're in a rock band, you get a lot of interesting tapes in the mail, but this is by far the most interesting one we've ever gotten. Not really, but, it's got our name in it—it's kind of strange." For decades, this mythical song has only barely existed in the form of old fan-made bootleg recordings. Until now. "I Might Be Giant, Too" is the fourth #SONGO of 2023 by Catscan! thecatscanwebsite.com UPDATE JUNE 2023: The identity of the original artist of this song was discovered! Read about it on TMBW: https://tmbw.net/wiki/They_Might_Be_Giants_%28Vagabond_Joy%29?fbclid=IwAR1-yg7l0N3XNA9BYjODFTLk6hNCYfp5Dc2olR8rmmevWCReC5S-X6MRKbY --- In the days to come See the ruins rise While the giants sleep In the ruined skies Will the giants come down to earth? And somewhere under the sun We will find the days to come You already kiss a broken sky They might be giants This world might go too far I should be saving the tears I need an ocean to get to you I might be giant, too Poor mother earth Her pain is deep (She's going to die) The giants know Her heart is sweet (She's under a sky) Who knows how long for her? And somewhere under the sun Now it doesn't seem so far I'm further from your heart They might be giants This world might go too far I should be saving the tears I need an ocean to get to you I might be giant, too I left the light on I turned the screws I changed the channel, now I can't find you I paint by numbers I catch disease I want to be bigger now So I can be free I know, I know They might be giants I know, I know What did you find Inside the grave? Bones lain with silence Lost in their place You search, I close my eyes And hearts beat under the earth Every echo ends a tear You carry summer's last rose in your heart They might be giants This world might go too far I should be saving the tears I need an ocean to get to you They might be giants This world might go too far I should be saving the tears I need an ocean to get to you They might be giants This world might go too far I should be saving the tears I need an ocean to get to you I might be giant, too

"Your Shallow Grave" is the third SONGO of 2023 by Catscan! thecatscanwebsite.com --- In the night There's a fright The sound of someone out there It shakes you You're found Beneath the ground No fight Or flight Vibrations growing stronger He strikes hard You cave Your shallow grave You won't hear him crawl up from behind Whispering "come join us down here"

The Sludge is the tenth #SONGO of 2022 by the band Catscan! Its companion piece, Triangle, makes up for the missed month earlier this year. https://thecatscanwebsite.com --- In the sludge In the deep dark sludge In the deep dark sludge it slopped around Around the mud it slipped and slid It slipped and slid in the deep dark sludge In the deep dark sludge it slid around It was spawned In the muddy pond In the muddy pond it arose and yawned It arose and rubbed its sleepy eyes Its sleepy eyes perceived the muddy dawn In the muddy pond From the grime From the sticky slime From the sticky slime it climbed away Away it crawled across the shore Across the foamy shore from the sticky slime From the gooey grime Upon a mound Upon the dusty down Upon the dusty down it reeled and writhed It writhed it flaked and dried It flaked and dried on the dusty down Upon a mound

Checkpoint Charlie is the sixth #SONGO from 2022 by the band Catscan! thecatscanwebsite.com --- Once I found myself Among the ones who found they'd lost the ones they found Now I wait for her to leave Or wait until it's time for her to leave Stuck at Checkpoint Charlie Wish I knew just what to do Instead I'm waiting here until it's through I am patient, I'm not strong But I cannot stay waiting for too long Stuck at Checkpoint Charlie Once I find myself then I will find myself a better self of mine
