Stitch Me Together

​

This song sounds like if Linkin Park added an r&b singer and wrote and emo alt pop song. I team up with Rob the Voice (an awesome artist here in Indianapolis) on this song for a really cool, unexpected combo of sounds. If you miss the emo pop days, this could be your jam.

Ready to Be Us

​

Sometimes a relationship fails, and you wonder if you can get it back. But - both people have to be ready to give it another try. This song is an ask from one person to another saying it's not too late to try again.

Parachute

​

This song is about being the first one to blink in a relationship that's not going well. Instead of pretending to continue along, one person starts the breakup, and gives the other person an out by being the 'bad guy/girl'. Maybe the other person never would have broken up and they would've been unhappy forever.

How You Wear It

​

On the surface, you'll hear a catchy, acoustic guitar-driven song with superficial lyrics about someone's wardrobe. However, just like clothes are the most outer layer of a person, these lyrics are a metaphor for how someone wears their own qualities or their ups and downs of life. I wrote this to flirt with my girlfriend, who likes song lyrics with multiple layers (and also has good fashion sense).

New You

​

New You presents a satirical view of New Year's resolutions veiled in a cheery melody. In that light, the "New You" hook line comes off as an "oh well, we tried" aside. Drawing from the mindset of his favorite satirical authors Mark Twain and Kurt Vonnegut, that dismal outlook is balanced by the hopeful note of knowing that we'll try again.

Future Self

​

Grooves like if Kid Cudi made a less-sad-than-normal melody for an early Lorde track. What if you wrote a letter to your future self - and you actually wrote yourself back? "Set my mind right"

Love Seemed Starry

​

In "Love Seemed Starry", Cradle Cat places crafts a melancholy broken heart story using a seemingly happy melody and catchy piano hook over sincere, inside-your-head lyrics and longing vocals.

Soft Serve Sunset

​

This song focuses on the feeling of acceptance. Just sitting, watching the sunset, and not being upset with whatever might be going on in life. Cradle Cat aims to focus everything in the song on that idea - from the music being big then calm to represent the sunset, the vocals being smaller in comparison to represent our worries, and the vocals getting stronger at the end with satisfied acceptance and optimism for the next day.

What if Lois Lane turned down Superman? This song follows a superhero on the path to madness as a result of being turned down.
