This is our own rendition featuring a friend on the piano for the recording. Did a simple live recording just to experiment with the sound and effects to see how other people would hear it. :)

A small dedication to my band mate and his wife who just had a baby girl! :D Acoustic sound with some finger plucking sorta going on. Finger tips peeling T_T Enjoy

Small Bump - Ed Sheeran (Cover)

A fun acoustic original. It may sound a little satirical but I wrote this song describing real frustration towards how one lives a life on rebound, and how the blaming and self-victimising is only an excuse for the choices carelessly made on impulse, based on fleeting feelings.

LYRICS:
One day you're into this,
Another into that, 
You want to go real deep,
With no gear no wear,
A new toy appears,
Bright colours and gears,
Suddenly the old one's a spare,
Suddenly the old one's a spare...

Oh please, stop being a fool,
You know the truth but it's hard to drag a mule,
Oh the world..'s not falling on you,
The choices you make,
The people you break,
Is it all for...

You swing from one tree to another,
No fear you may say,
For its exhilaration or just pure humiliation,
You find yourself falling falling falling falling falling,
Somehow you're choking,
The seas and the trees to be blamed,
The seas and the trees to be blamed...

Oh please, stop blaming all but you,
Your head knows the truth but you... let your feelings rule,
Sorry, the world...does not revolve around you,
The choices you make,
It's you that you break,
Is it all for...

You....
From ties don't run away,
Though truth may hurt in ways,
You know what that mirror says,
Don't sweep what's gold away..
Hey...

Fickle (Original) by Ashes & Oak Trees

This was written in the midst of a terrible struggle of having to choose between what felt right and what was right - between my own personal desires and feelings, and what I knew was right and good despite a great internal battle. So this speaks of how true love is sacrificial; although really wanting to be with the person one loves, in what seems to be a futile act, he surrenders and takes a step back when he knows that it really isn't the best for both. In doing so, he lets his own selfish desires go, even if there seem to be no visible resolutions, even if it causes him great anguish.

LYRICS:
I stared at the winsome birds,
Oh such distinct colours,
Why does it blend so profoundly,
How could anything fuse together so delightfully

Maybe it seems right, right now,
It may seem like we resonate each other's lives,
But somehow I know,
That despite it all, we're both called, 
To something else

Ravishing my every heed,
I gaze in awe of such a tiny thing,
If I were this bird, could I in bliss, sing,
Or would I....I still have, 
This desolate heart

Maybe it seems right, my love,
It may seem like we resonate each other's lives,
But somehow I need, to let you go,
For this is what love requires of me,
I'll keep your smile, and let you flee

And although, these I grasp, 
even though, at this threshold,

This love remains...
This heart remains...

Love In Futility (Original) - Full Mix 24bit 48kHz

Aaron's wife, Sheena, was doing her own thing and heard us jamming to this song, and not knowing what we were singing, sang the melody to something else instead. Realising that we were actually doing Chasing Cars, she "burst into life" with a mash up idea and this is the result! Such weird inspirations.

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol (Mash up) by Ashes & Oak Trees

An eclectic band homegrown in Malaysia consisting of two quirky friends: Crisabel Clare from Sabah and Aaron Lee, a Subang Jaya aborigine.

Starting just as old friends wanting to jam together, the desire to share their music grew tremendously and naturally resulted in the formation of the band. Since early 2013, the band has been getting involved in performances at open mic events such as in Doppelganger and Merdekarya, with the most recent being at the "Are You In The Pink of Health?" Carnival 2013. The band draws their inspiration from and applies their creative eccentricities on Eisley, KT Tunstall, City and Colour, Imogen Heap, and Alanis Morissette, just to name a few.

Personal message from the band:
While there is still a long way to go, may this be a path all our friends and loved ones tread together with us. :)
