While at Monolith I bumped into Caitlin Rose in the media area. We chatted for a minute thanks to mutual friends before I realized that she was the same Caitlin that I’d been getting press emails about and meaning to listen to. She handed me a copy of her album, told me she sang much better now and said I should check out her show. Unfortunately I had a conflict with another band ont he schedule and didn’t get to see her, but this new song from her Myspace is pretty top notch.

MP3: Caitlin Rose – Song for Rabbits
“Song for Rabbits” is actually not a song for rabbits at all. Surprise, it’s a song for people! In specific, it seems like it’s a song for people who are in unfulfilling relationships. But unlike most other songs in that sub-genre, Caitlin ultimately declares that sticking with a person who you aren’t always glad to be with is “better than spending all your nights alone.” Interesting as is, but the more interesting part is that I’m not entirely sure she means it.

And as I said, this is a demo for a song that’ll be on her 2010 album. No word on a release date or anything for that yet, but I’ll be sure to let you know as soon as I do.
