Cover art for Black Cat lyrics by Temple of the Dog

Black cat = bad luck or a demon. I hate to be "that guy" who ties every Seattle rock song to heroin, but given the circumstances of TotD and Andy Wood,I think the black cat is heroin addiction.

This song has an awesome old school blues feel to it. TotD is such a great album, so artistic and diverse. Sure, it has some grunge, some punk and some metal, but it's also got a bit of blues and some soul... great tribute to Andy and a great band in its own respect.
