Kat Was utterly transfixed when I saw Kate perform Christmas song live! Every song on here is so enchanting to listen to but Christmas Song just hits me emotionally in such a perfect way. Favorite track: Christmas Song.

Dan After discovering Kate’s other project called Lung, I wanted to hear some of her solo work. Two of her best songs are off the very solid LP Water Lungs. This LP is classic Kate – her strong melancholy lyrics, engaging cello, and her emotive singing are all here. Or you could just focus on her singing and cello and still be entertained.

“All that you asked for” is my favorite track off this LP. Like many of the songs off Bottom of The Barrel, this song speaks of the heartbreak after the breakup of a relationship. But Kate is moving on. “If I could just take back all the days we shared, oh you best damn better believe I would.”

“Water Lungs” is my second favorite off this LP. Check it out. Favorite track: All that you asked for.

Water Lungs 04:39
Dreamer dreamer, please forgive me, I don't know just what I've done I don't know just what I've done- but I thought that I could turn to you and I've been singing underwater breathing in and breathing out lungs are filled with worlds of secrets I thought I wasn't supposed to let them out. I was supposed to get it all right-but I didn't know how to (when were you ever gonna let go of your dark heart your mother's black hat-I wasn't supposed to be loved) I was supposed to get it all right. Mother mother please forgive me I don't think I'm coming down I've been living in the dreamland too long to ever want to come back home.

I breathe through your skin in the oceans that have ruled my mind You've haunted this house in the dreams in jars you've left behind I sing in your sleep but it's nothing more than broken doors I sing in your sleep- Words that I have burned before "I will love you, I will love you more" The days grow like weeds and the clock will never go unknown it all is too easy to forget all of the seeds we've sown I play in old gardens but it's nothing more than broken doors I play in old gardens- Words that I have burned before "I will love you, I will love you more"

When it was all so lovely When was it all so lovely? I knew your fingers then I knew the tips of them And the snow falls down upon our empty souls And the stars are made of thoughts that we threw into the sky And our bodies are just pieces of the days we left behind and the snow falls down. And the little eyes look to the walls And the days that we loved they dissolve to pieces. And the snow falls down upon our empty souls The secret is we are forgettable the days the lamps the hours- all replaceable The secret is we are erasable. The secret is we are forgettable the days the lamps the hours, all replaceable the words, the soles of feet all erasable. And the snow falls down upon our empty souls. When it was all so lovely When was it all so lovely? I knew your fingers then I loved the tips of them.

You're a rat rat rat and you're stuck in the trap that you set for me. And you love love love being everyone's victim. Well I'm not the type to be swayed like this but the lies you tell, well they come right back.. Well I try try try to remember appendages fondly, dear, but you made it clear that the world's out to get you you're just. a little. boy. Well I'm not the type to be swayed like this but the lies you tell, well they come right back Well I'm not the type to be swayed like this but the lies you tell- they come right back. If I could take back all the days we shared oh you best damn better believe I would. You will be dead to me, that's all that I want you to know and I will be dead to you That's all that you asked for.
