Really short but also really awesome song “When I Wake Up” by Decent Lovers. Where’s the repeat button?

Decent Lovers - Me and Puppykitty

I may actually be obsessed with Decent Lovers.  This is the third single from the group that has managed to wedge itself into the bloody flaps of my beating heart and firmly lodge itself there.  I mean, I don’t want to play favourites and I swear I’m not getting any kind of kickback from the band but I just really like their kind of off-beat, quirky sound.  It’s eccentric and it’s different and it stands out from the crowd in a way that’s warm and fuzzy and makes me want to hug people around me.  And I'm not a hugger.    This new song, called Me And PuppyKitty, is basically four tracks recorded onto a cassette tape - how charming and whimsical!  It's about a pet cat that used to accompany singer Elijah Wyman on hikes in the mountainous area where he used to live.  Do you get it?  It’s a kitty that’s like a puppy.  I once dated a boy that had a Siamese cat that fetched, so I can totally relate to the puppy/kitty juxtaposition.  Elijah says that a lot of reviewers have pegged this song as “dark and untrustworthy”.  I actually think it’s sweet and innocent – like a young boy and his hunting cat prowling around the backyard looking for adventures.  Either way, it’s a great song that makes me want to run outside and writhe around in long grass for a while.
