Katy Moffatt
Katherine Louella "Katy" Moffatt (born November 19, 1950) is an American musician, lyricist, composer, vocalist. She is the sister of country singer-songwriter Hugh Moffatt.
Midnight radio
Moffatt became impassioned by music as a child growing up in Fort Worth, Texas. She was captivated by Broadway show tunes, the Beatles, and the Motown sound, and has said that she was such an avid listener to Top 40 radio that "I used to come home from school, have dinner, go to bed, and set the alarm for midnight. Then I'd get up and do my homework and listen to the radio. It was my favorite time – I could be alone with the music."
Early influences
Moffatt points to the influence of the Beatles and the bands of the British Invasion as inspiring her to learn the guitar. She credits Leonard Cohen's "Dress Rehearsal Rag" for making her want to perform and says folk singers like Judy Collins, Phil Ochs, and Dave Van Ronk were her models. Ella Fitzgerald and the versatile vocalist, Tracy Nelson were also important influences.

Key To My Fate
Am I totally blind this time when I'm dreamin'
The dreams that I fear, some call it nightmare
And some call it life, what is the sense of
Existing in here
And I think of the sadness when I'm dreamin' of
Leavin' the pain I don't get all that madness
And it drives me insane
Now hear me cry, I'm in quest
Of the key to my fate
I might be nigh to the key
In the abyss of hate
Annihilation in my brain
What is the price that we will be to pay
When will you lift our little poor souls
When will you take us oh lord away
Oh when will we die
Why to suffer to stand up right
We are victims of time
We have to fight till the end is in sight
What's the reason to carry on
What's the reason to fall
After days of living hall
After we had to crawl,
Are we totally blind this time
Can't you tell me the nexus of freedom
And pain and desires and hate
