Charlyn Marie "Chan" Marshall /ʃɑːrlɪn məri ʃɒn mɑːrʃəl/ (born January 21, 1972), better known by her stage name Cat Power, is an American singer-songwriter, musician, occasional actress, and model. Cat Power was originally the name of Marshall's first band, but has become her moniker as a solo artist.
Marshall was discovered opening for Liz Phair in 1994 by Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth and Tim Foljahn of Two Dollar Guitar, with whom she recorded her first two albums, Dear Sir (1995) and Myra Lee (1996), on the same day in 1994. In 1996 she signed with Matador Records, and released a third album of new material with Shelley and Foljahn, What Would the Community Think. Following this she released the critically acclaimed Moon Pix (1998), recorded with members of Dirty Three, and The Covers Record (2000), a collection of sparsely recorded cover songs. After a brief hiatus she reemerged in 2003 with You Are Free, featuring guest musicians Dave Grohl and Eddie Vedder, followed by the soul-influenced The Greatest (2006), recorded with numerous Memphis studio musicians, and a second covers album, Jukebox (2008). In 2012 she released the self-produced Sun, which opened at number 10 on the Billboard 200, the highest charting album of her career to date.
Love & communication you were here for me
At this very moment 'cuz I found you on the phone you called me
And you were not hunting me
Learning more and more about less and less and less
On the edge of your seat in some dark movie
Can you memorize the scenes, they'll be different next week
Can you tell me, can you tell, can you tell
If there is something better
'Cuz you know there always is, always is
Drawn to the party like a spider filling up your guts
Don't hate the night, what you shouldn't have
Come along for the ride, you just know you should
You just know you should
Can you tell, can you tell, can you tell
If there is something better
'Cuz you know there always is, there always is
Hated to see you sad when I left
There's just no good in that but the good part was
That I came at all 'cuz I don't venture out
Into the lives of the new
I want you to come along for the ride
How long will you stay for your whole life
You just know you should
Can you tell me, can you tell, can you tell
If there is something better
'Cuz you know there always is, always is
Love & communication you were here for me
At this very moment 'cuz I found you on the phone you called me
And you were not hunting me
Can you tell me, can you tell
If there is something better
Can you tell me, can you tell
