Porch Cat - Jacky Bones

Copied!

Jacky Bones, you walked in the saloon
Ready to howl at the moon
You’re afraid you can’t handle change
I’m not like you, so I must be insane

{Chorus}
Oh, don’t you close your eyes
Jacky Bones, don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

Jacky Bones, you’re looking at your cards
But that hand won’t get you very far
You’re alright with black, white, and red
But other colors go over your head

{Chorus}

While you’re howling at the moon
We might come storming in
To steal your silver spoon
We don’t mean you no pain
But we won’t let you take our souls away

Jacky Bones, don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

Jacky Bones, you’re threatened to the core
On our words you’re waging war
You’re shaking in your boots
You’re confused by the way we voice our strange views

{Chorus}

Jacky Bones, don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

edit bio

Porch Cat is a dream-pop, punk-based band from Bellingham, Washington. Most of the information regarding the band is on their Facebook page, and their Bandcamp. The band is led by Chan Barraza Benicki, a nonbinary lesbian who struggles with several medical conditions. Chan details the purpose and information on the band on their Facebook page, under their about, titled “Our Story”.

Porch Cat is:
Porch Cat is the musical project of singer-songwriter, Chan Barraza. Through uptempo punk songs, sludgy ballads, and pop hooks, Porch Cat writes about queer identity, pain and chronic illness, abuse and assault, colonization and racism – ultimately returning to themes of love and empowerment.
As a queer, nonbinary, disabled and chronically ill Latina, Porch Cat strives to push the boundaries of representation in music, as well as fight for feminism, queer rights, disability rights, and against racism.
Porch Cat originally began as an acoustic singer-songwriter project by Chan Barraza in 2011 in Bellingham, WA. Benicki began to learn guitar at age 12, and soon combined their love for writing poetry and singing into writing original songs. Throughout their life, Barraza explored theatre, photography, and visual arts, but it wasn’t until they were in college that they played music as part of a band. Since then, Porch Cat has transformed from an acoustic, folk sound, to an electric band influenced by Barraza’s love of punk, indie, and alternative rock. Barraza lives with chronic illness, including Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Narcolepsy with Cataplexy, PTSD, and PMDD.
