Their shared love for music and felines fused into a unique blend of creativity, which led to the birth of Feline Smile. Since their formation, they have been entertaining audiences with their distinctive sound, playful lyrics, and quirky stage presence, making them a local sensation and a crowd favorite at music festivals.

Title:
“Nine Lives Gone”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Looking through my window, [D] on a lazy afternoon
[Em] Saw a cat strolling, [C] humming an unknown tune
[G] With its head held high, [D] a free spirit on its own
[Em] And I wondered, [C] about the lives it had blown

(Chorus)
[G] Nine lives gone, [D] under the blinding sun
[Em] Chasing shadows, [C] oh what fun!
[G] Nine lives gone, [D] in whispers and meow
[Em] Was it worth it, [C] I wonder how

(Verse 2)
[G] On the rooftop, [D] under the silvery moon
[Em] Saw the same cat, [C] humming the same tune
[G] With its eyes so bright, [D] shining like a beacon
[Em] And I thought, [C] what tales it had woven

(Chorus)
[G] Nine lives gone, [D] in the blink of an eye
[Em] Under the starry sky, [C] oh what a high!
[G] Nine lives gone, [D] in purrs and hiss
[Em] Was it worth it, [C] for a moment’s bliss
