wait, the Egyptians liked cats? First I'm hearing about this. A pretty pleasant G&G song and obviously I find cat content to be a general plus, but this doesn't feel like it engages with the challenge as creatively as a lot of the songs and the song itself isn't terribly memorable.

I'm a dog person. Woof.

You have been fairly outspoken about how draining you have found the Nur Ein experience this year, so it comes at little surprise that this song feels like the sound of a man who plans to go out on his own terms. I think you know exactly what you are doing, you wanted to write this song regardless of how it would play in the competition, or perhaps because of that. It's a sweet song, one that feels like it exists purely for you and your little friend. I suppose it's hardly worth mentioning that the samples are far from integral to the song, but I feel it is encumbent upon me to be clear about why I ranked it last. It's a shame that you've not embraced the challenge more enthusiastically because you are an exceptionally talented musician and producer and I've no doubt that you could have made a mindblowing song that nailed the challenge had you chosen to do so.

This is a sweet little song about your aging cat. I really like the vocal performance and the acoustic guitar sounds really great. I don't think this song meets the challenge, though. The samples of your cat and the litter box are related to the song's concept, but if you took them out of the song I don't feel like the song would change very much at all sonically. They don't give any different meaning to the song, either, so I don't think this can be called "integral".

I feel like I'm going to get the cold shoulder from my cats after ranking this so low! This is such a sweet, lovely slice of catcore and if I heard it during FAWM etc, I'd be totally on board. Unfortunately, if doesn't really hit the challenge brief, though the samples obviously do tie into the lyrics. Speaking of which, I absolutely love the lyrics. They do a really good job of conveying the unconditional love you feel for your furry faced companion and it's great how personal this comes across.
