sounding with without acoustic guitar. 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:40.399 Um as you mentioned, those the songs kind of speak to that. 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:49.439 Kind of almost like I would say uh meat cued kind of kind of vibes, but um, yeah, maybe maybe maybe something a little bit more going on um there as well. 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:59.759 And the lyrics just have this kind of lovely, almost like conversational um tone and element to them, um that are really yeah, just enjoyable to listen on a slow, quiet lesson. 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.600 Um sense of nostalgia, heartbreak in the songs. 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:15.120 You know, you're you're you're hearing about these people who are meeting for the first time, and you can almost feel the almost uh the the for for foreboding of of of of tragedy maybe in their in their relationship. 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:23.040 Um and uh yeah, I th as I said I think her s her her sound is is it's very familiar but also very, very unique. 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:27.600 Um and so Katie's music really deserves, I think, a close and quiet listen. 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:32.080 So in previous episodes I would have maybe played a song and then you know we talked a little bit about it. 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:36.080 We're gonna play all three songs for you um back to back now. 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:44.480 And um we're gonna be playing Have We Met Before, Your Way and Cardboard Box, and they all feature on on Kitty's latest EP, as I mentioned. 00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:55.279 Um yeah, kick back, relax, maybe sitting down, take some shoes off, maybe go grab a cup of coffee um and enjoy um some great music from Kitty. 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:58.480 Only so much love and I can do in this cardboard box I've built for too much. 00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:58.640 Hi guys, and welcome back to Bruce Sounds. 00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:00.240 Wasn't that absolutely fantastic?
