150,000 kilometres of highways and boulevards…
A thousand stories to tell of what she’s seen...
It’s unlikely there are many people as intimately familiar with the inside of a KIA hatchback as Cat Jahnke. With her trusty guitar in hand, this singer-songwriter and die-hard prairie girl has racked up an impressive record, having performed over 300 shows across Canada in only a few short years.
When not on the road, Cat has been busy writing and recording her new CD “The Stories Are Taking Their Toll.” This latest full-length album contains 13 songs which range from quirky pop tunes to folk rock rants, all highlighting Cat’s incomparable vocal quality, her multi-instrumentalist skills, and her trademark tongue-in-cheek storytelling. Standouts on the album include “Apple,” chosen as the theme song for the hit NBC webseries “Ctrl,” and "You Do Me Wrong,” which won Best Original Score at the 168 Hour Film Festival in Los Angeles, CA.
This album follows the success of Cat’s 2006 release, “None of Those Things,” a breakout performance that earned her songwriting accolades from numerous international competitions, two featured slots in the revolutionary European video game system, “iDance,” as well as greater exposure on the Canadian media scene, including extensive airplay on CBC Radio and a featured song spot on the CTV hit television series “Degrassi: The New Generation.”
Not one to limit herself to what she’s already done, in the past few years Cat and her songwriting prowess have been in demand on a variety of projects. Working in partnership with various producers in Hollywood, Cat has scored several short films, penned and produced made-to-order pop tunes for movie trailers, and composed the theme song and all related music for the first ever standalone webseries created by a major television network (NBC's "Ctrl” starring Tony Hale).
All this, in addition to her demanding touring schedule, has further honed Cat’s songwriting craft and musical abilities, and with one listen of her new album, it shows. Though it may be true that for Cat “The Stories are Taking Their Toll,” the rest of us can sit back and simply enjoy the ride.
Tangle
Cat Jahnke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sure you're not blind
I think that it's clear that we're not doing fine
Do you ever cry
Do you ask yourself why we're not better than before
It takes two to tangle
Then I'm just left hanging here, dangling here
Lay down your drive, lay down your greed
Lay down your productivity then
Lay down your head with me
Do you ever cry
Do you ask yourself why we're not better than before
It takes two to tangle
Then I'm just left hanging here, dangling here
Wanting more, wanting more, wanting more
You've only one life
And it's yours to spend
So you can feel free but don't expect the same from me
And when you turn your face,
You might as well just leave the room
'Cause I'm alone in this space
And I wonder does he miss me too
Do you ever cry
Do you ask yourself why we're not better than before
It takes two to tangle
Then I'm just left hanging here, dangling here
Wanting more, wanting more, wanting more
Wanting more
In "Tangle" by Cat Jahnke, the lyrics express the idea that the relationship between the two people is not going well. They seem to be on different paths in life because the singer is questioning if the other person is happy with their current state. The lyrics suggest that one person is striving for success, while the other person wants to lay down all their external pressures and simply enjoy the moment together. The chorus emphasizes the idea that both parties need to put in an equal amount of effort to improve the relationship as it takes two people to build and maintain a relationship.
The lyric "Lay down your drive, lay down your greed, Lay down your productivity then, Lay down your head with me," suggests that sometimes success and ambition can come between two people who are in love with each other. The song emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the relationship itself over personal success. The phrase "It takes two to tangle" means that the problems in the relationship are not one-sided, and both people are responsible for it.

Look where we're going
Let's evaluate our current situation
I'm sure you're not blind
Assuming you can see the same things I see
I think that it's clear that we're not doing fine
Our situation is not good
Do you ever cry
Do you feel emotional pain
Do you ask yourself why we're not better than before
Do you wonder why our relationship is not improving
It takes two to tangle
Both parties are equally responsible
Then I'm just left hanging here, dangling here
I'm left feeling uncertain and unfulfilled
Wanting more, wanting more, wanting more
Desiring greater satisfaction and happiness
Lay down your drive, lay down your greed
Prioritize things other than your own personal gain
Lay down your productivity then
Lower your emphasis on output and success
Lay down your head with me
Spend quality, intimate time with me
You've only one life
There's only one opportunity to live this life
And it's yours to spend
You get to decide how to live your life
So you can feel free but don't expect the same from me
You have the freedom to choose, but I may not choose the same thing
And when you turn your face,
When you look away from me,
You might as well just leave the room
I feel ignored and abandoned
'Cause I'm alone in this space
I feel isolated
And I wonder does he miss me too
I hope that you feel the same way
Wanting more, wanting more, wanting more
Desiring greater satisfaction and happiness

The ending perfectly portrays the feelings of an artist when someone says that computer does all of the job :D
@blue_3dArtist
It’s when the program shut down surprisingly and you do the work again 🙂
@jdmtom85
This is pure gold. That last part, using task manager.....too real. TOO REAL.
@peganimation
Fantastic! So funny... MORE!!! This is what animation is all about.
@daveatiemo2997
When he said "I think I broke my rig," I knew that the rig would start bending in ways it wasn't supposed to. I was only expecting the leg to deform, though. It transitioning to the whole body was genius, and hilarious. Good video!
@rickonami
That was cool ! The end part was disturbing though, i feel sorry for that character .
@mayorc
It means that the animator is simply amazing, because he was able to convey pain and suffer to a so simple character which wasn't even textured or shaded realistically.
