About This Song
About "Long Way Down (Look What the Cat Drug In)" by Michael Penn
A jangling, power-pop descent into bad luck and worse decisions, where the cat drags in more than just trouble. Penn's sharp wit and Beatlesque chord changes mask a narrator watching his own freefall with grim amusement. The tension is between the jaunty riff and the long way down—a smile on the way to the bottom.
