about

A thank-you song to my almost-six-month-old kittens, who make my life a lot more fun but also infinitely more exhausting, a trade-off I am happy to accept. They slept throughout the song's creation, presumably in order to wreak more havoc later on when I'm trying to do the ironing or whatever.

lyrics

Song Title: Thank You Rafa & Agnes

Lyrics:
the house was quiet for a while
needed a jump-start for my smile
there was something massive missing from my soul
it had been over a year
since feline life was here
when you lose a friend it’s hard to fill the hole

the only answer was a little madness
to balance the boredom and soothe the sadness
and now I want to say…
thank you Rafa and Agnes

I’d like to say we felt a
special connection at the shelter
though really, you were just part of the pack
but we found it hard to resist the
call of a tiny brother and sister
with patches of white among the black

we brought two balls of madness home
to balance the boredom and soothe the sadness
and I want to say…
thank you Rafa and Agnes

and now I can’t say life is perfection
we made the right decision
even if things get destroyed
when you’re not under supervision
you make us smile
you make laugh
you bring us endless fun
although it has
become difficult
to get anything productive done

on balance I can say with gladness
you blew up the boredom and shot the sadness
I want to say thank you Rafa and Agnes

a tennis player and a film director
became a ladder climber and a shoe inspector
I want to say
thank you Rafa and Agnes
