“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it. People think pleasing God is all God cares about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.” GROWLTIGER: Track One Song: Main Titles Artist: Quincy Jones Album: The Color Purple OST Quote: Shug Avery, The Color Purple, by Alice Walker IN WHICH: A new life is born into the Universe, a male kitten, small and gray, each tiny whisker a small wonder of perfection.

"You are what you do. A man is defined by his actions, not his memory." LATER DAYS: The Jerry Goldsmith Experience: Track Two Song: First Meeting Artist: Jerry Goldsmith Album: Total Recall OST Quote: Kuato, Total Recall Mix: Growltiger IN WHICH: Chris stands before a small cage at the Humane Society. From behind the bars, the male kitten peers upwards with hopeful eyes. Chris decides not to adopt him and goes to leave. The kitten grabs the bars of his cage in his claws and meows as hard as his little lungs can manage. Chris hears and looks back. Moved by something he doesn't fully understand, he decides to welcome the kitten into his home. This little gem is from Jerry's score for Total Recall (the original). I used it on the Mix GROWLTIGER which is about the life, death and rebirth of my cat Oliver. There are two other Jerry Goldsmith songs from Total Recall on that Mix and I REALLY wanted to put them in this collection right away but I'm right in the middle of upgrading GROWLTIGER song by song and I didn't want to skip ahead, so for now those two songs will remain in limbo. Once their upgrades are complete they will become a part of the Jerry Goldsmith Experience.

"You can’t hurt me. Westley and I are joined by the bonds of love. And you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords." GROWLTIGER: Track Four Song: The Friends' Song Artist: Mark Knopfler Album: The Princess Bride OST Quote: Buttercup, The Princess Bride IN WHICH: Even before the kitten recieves his Name, he and Chris become fast friends, forming a bond through playfulness, trust and mutual understanding.

"When you notice a cat in profound meditation The reason, I tell you, is always the same His mind is engaged in rapt contemplation Of the thought, of the thought Of the thought of his name" GROWLTIGER: Track Five Song: The Naming of Cats Artists: T.S. Eliot/Andrew Lloyd Weber Album: Cats Original Broadway Cast OST Quote: T.S. Eliot, Cats IN WHICH: At the Naming Ceremony, the male kitten finally recieves his Name: Oliver. While his second Name is still to be determined, his Secret Name burns deep within him, a mystery he will ponder all the days of his life.

“I’m the only one like me.” GROWLTIGER: Track Six Song: Tina takes Newt in Artist: James Newton Howard Album: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them OST Quote: Jacob Kowalski, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them IN WHICH: As Oliver settles into his new life he marvels at the wonders he sees.

Here's the Fireside Chat for GROWLTIGER. You could alternatively call this mix "A Cat's Life". Consisting mainly of movie scores with some well chosen tracks from the musical CATS, this one is for all of you cat lovers out there.
