Biography:
Relatively new and unknown to the music scene, Nightmare and the Cat are our favorite new indie-folk band.
Claire Acey and brothers Django and Samuel Stewart form the 3-piece band, whose Facebook bio states, “We are Nightmare and the Cat… and that is that.”
Fresh from the cult London music scene, they have soft vocals reminiscent of Jeff Buckley, an indie pop vibe like that of The Thrills or Vampire Weekend, and instrumental skills like only Arcade Fire can match.

Simple-Nightmare and the Cat
Written by Django Stewart & Samuel Stewart
The intro is a little iffy, But over all I think it turned out pretty good.
Standard Tuning, no capo, works for ukulele or guitar
Intro
A A Bm D (x2)
Db Bm Db Bm
Verse 1
A Bm
Time to put priorities in order
F
As we dance across the border
D
Of what is love and what is madness
A
Time to deal with all the sadness
Bm
Buried deep beneath the floorboards
F
In the houses entertainment built
D
Where the silence seems to double every day
Interlude
A F#m F D
Verse 2
A Bm
Mother, tell me is this what you wanted
F
I have tried my best to keep away
D
From the privilege in my father’s name
A
So who’s to blame for certain?
Bm
Who can it be behind the curtain?
F
The one who orchestrates the violence
D
Boasting overtures of blinding rage from the family stage
Pre-Chorus
F#m A
It’s changing us (changing us)
F#m A
Never waking up (waking up)
DBm
Just look at us
And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are
Chorus
A
It’s simple
F#m
Yeah so simple
F
But if it’s so simple
D
Why can’t we just get it?
Verse 3
A
It’s torture
Bm
Rumors whispered around the corners
F
Scratching at our brains like fingernails
D
I guess that’s what we get for telling tales
Until there’s none to tell
Pre-Chorus
F#m A
It’s changing us (changing us)
F#m A
Never waking up (waking up)
DBm
Just look at us
And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are
Chorus
A
It’s simple
F#m
Yeah so simple
F
But if it’s so simple
D
Why can’t we just get it?
(And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are)
A
It’s simple
F#m
Yeah so simple
F
But if it’s so simple
D
Why can’t we just get it?
(And see we are the way we are because you are the way you are)
A
It’s simple.
