with Alden Abaca on drums and Karel Honasan on bass, this song was re-recorded from a college thesis I had made an original score for, some couple of years ago. Now released under the Dakila Artist Collective album to promote awareness on Climate Change, I hope you support the cause as well.

Hi! Another addition to my EP, and a song inspired by being.... a human. Haha.

-----

watched the world move
from my window
driving slow is
all I know now

baby if you left it to me
I wouldn't have let you leave
but I'm just a speck here
in the general scheme of things

the sun bears down on me
it frames everything i love
and if I'm different at night
it's only cause I've had enough

of self-isolation and
of grating fear
and i need you now badly
but you'll never hear that
coming from me,
I'm fine, I'm good
I'm great
i've got so much to do
but nothing to say

baby if you left it to me
I wouldn't have let you leave
but I'm just a speck here
in the general scheme of things

darling the number one rule
is not to rely on me
i always find you looking for my heart underneath my sleeves
i always find you looking for my heart underneath my sleeves

I'm just a speck here in the general scheme of things

Eventually we'll fall asleep, and dream about these past three weeks,
Or lie awake and dedicate, our thoughts to finding what it means,
But when it is all said and done,
I can't think of anyone else,

Nothing is just as it seems, at least that what it seems to me,
And everybody has a path, but some will walk reluctantly,
Well you can throw your map away, 
Cause I'll be here another day or two

Hope will take its toll
And ignite your soul

 We were told as we grow old, that one day we would find ourselves,
But as we aged, everything changed, and we were locked by different spells,
Well love is such an abstract art, 
And we each have a different part to play

They will find that overtime, that they can't help but play along
And as we wait they hesitate, for fear that something may go wrong,
But when the smoke has finally cleared,
Things are not just as they appeared,

Hope will take its toll
And Ignite your soul 


Fools

"Run" 

From The Ransom Collective's debut EP, available September 20th, 2014. 

Written, recorded, and produced by the The Ransom Collective, 2014. 

OFF THE ALBUM "THE NEON HOUR"

TO BE RELEASED MARCH 2015

LYRICS:
maybe then i’ll find you
in a sidewalk stare
and i won’t cross the street
to meet you there

and i won’t be broken
i won’t even feel it
even if you asked me
even if you asked me

you used to speed through the highway
and into my door
shed all of your skin to leave on the floor
did you find what you were looking for?

no anger, no feeling, no bleeding, no pain
i’d run at the thought of seeing you again
but no, i’m good

and you smelled like smoke
and tasted like fire
you hurt like a burn
now you’re just a scar

and you smelled like smoke
and tasted like fire
you hurt like a burn
now you’re just a scar

maybe then i’ll find you
in a sidewalk stare
and i won’t cross the street
to meet you there

and i won’t be broken
i won’t even feel it
even if you asked me
even if you asked me




Even If You Asked Me

who are you
in the darkest hours of the night
when I’m not looking
and do I really wanna know?

do the city lights
bleed through the blinds
and bounce from your eyes
into the night
from your window

where does your sorrow go
when you find yourself completely alone?

and it’s cyclical
you say of the way your day is spent
bed, train, work, and back again

but you talk of these streets
like the veins of your urban memories, manifest
and I’m thrown

where does your sorrow go
when you find yourself completely alone?

blocks and blocks
and swathes of roads
non-descript
and standard homes
dim streetlights
and endless freeway
beers outside convenience stores

lacing digits, touching toes
tell me things that no one knows
where does all your sorrow go
where does all your sorrow go

EARLY/LATE

Waray ha atun makukurian
[Wala sa atin mahihirapan]
Kun pirmi titigamnan
[Kung laging alalahanin]
It mga balaud para hit atun kauswagan
[Ang mga alituntunin para sa ating pag-unlad]
Hunahunaa hin maupay it im mgaplano, madi
[Isipin nang mabuti ang mga plano, mare]
Paningkamut basi diri magbasul, padi
[Magsipag para di magsisi, pare]

II
Waray gud napaperdi ha am
[Walang nagpapatalo sa amin]
Bis pa magkuruankuan
[Kahit ano pa man ang mangyari]
Talagudti nga piktaw harayo't kakadtuan
[Maliliit na hakbang malayo ang mararating]
Padayon la pagpinanngusog, madi
[Ipagpatuloy ang pagsisikap, mare]
It bugas magiging bulawan gihap, padi
[Ang bigas magiging ginto din, pare]

Chorus:
Idoy, uday, burugbligay kirita nga tanan
[Iho, iha, magtulungan tayong lahat]
Ipakita na't ha ira nga waray hibabayaan
[Ipakita natin sa kanilang walang maiiwan]
(Igrayhak it kalipay ha bug-os ngakalibutan)
[Ipagdiwang ang kagalakan sa buong mundo]

Idoy, uday, higugmaay, urupod nga tanan
[Iho, iha, magmahalan, sama-sama lahat]
Kaupay la gumuliat nga diri pa kita human
[Kaysarap ipagsisigaw na 'di pa tayo tapos]
(Magkusog gud la gihap kita nga mga Waray-waray)
[Malalakas/matitibay pa rin tayong mga Waray-Waray]

III
Waray man data it karuyag
[Walang silbi ang mga kagustuhan]
Kun diri kinahanglan
[Kung hindi naman kailangan]
Ay pagtapud nga bulawan it im ginkakaptan
[Wag kang kampanteng ginto ang iyonghinahawakan]
Kun diri ka maghinay sus(!), kanugun la, madi
[Kung hindi ka mag-ingat, naku(!), sayanglang, mare]
Pagtirok bangin ka maimuran, padi
[Mag-ipon baka maubusan ka pa, pare]

IV
Waray ha atun malilisang
[Wala sa 'tin matataranta]
Kun diri nim mangalimtan
[Kung hindi mo makalimutan]
Igtirok it im pamilya ngan mga kasangkayan
[Tipunin ang iyong pamilya at ang iyong mgakaibigan]
Pagtuun hin mga diri nim aram han hadi
[Pag-aralan ang mga hindi mo alam noon]
Para mas magtikakarit, padi, madi
[Para mas gumaling, pare, mare]

Idoy, Uday (with Kitchie Nadal)

you
i saw your face in june
you didn't have a clue of my infatuation

clues that i gave out to you
you took my bait it seemed so easy
you've made it very easy

did i ever expect to get out of my recent wreck?
will we ever expect to get out of our recent wreck?

i did not expect a response
from a girl of distance and 
an obedience to my affectations

did you ever expect to get out of your recent wreck?
will we ever expect to get out of our recent wreck?

please, tell me about your day.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
i'm not a book to be read 
it may look nice in your head 
but is it ever really more than that? 

more than circumstance, 
is it just loneliness 
or what did you expect? 
but it's still different 
beyond the second hand 
thought i was over that 

if it's really me you seek 
then i won't hide 
i've been exhausting every single way 
to get it off my mind 
get it off my mind 
but if it's really me you seek 
then i won't hide 
wishing it could be simple as you explain 
but i can't ever seem to get it right 

i have the tendency to pick things apart 
and i can never breathe 
am i wrong expecting it to be easy when you're next to me? 
and i don't want to be the kind to second guess 
it's just so hard to believe 
or difficult to reconcile what's on my mind 
with how i feel 

if it's really me you seek 
then i won't hide 
i've been exhausting every single way 
to get it off my mind 
get it off my mind 
but if it's really me you seek 
then i won't hide 
wishing it could be simple as you explain 
but i can't ever seem to get it right 

if it's really me you seek 
if it's really me you seek 
if it's really me you seek 
if it's really me you seek

lyrics:
someday, i believe everything will fall into place.
that silver lining i have tried to find all this time.

would you believe or would you leave?
or could you stay?

someday, i believe everything will fall into place.
though some things may try to avert my attention from you,
i know i will pull through.

but, i won't pretend.
time's not really a friend.

so, i try my best to see that at the end of my misery is you.

LIGHTS OUT

This way to the bed, my lovely lass
Get comfy, no pressure
I’ll join you in a while, lemme get these fresh new sleep clothes on
Care for some? Just grab ‘em

Here are the remotes, I’ll teach you how
It’s easy, just press these
You can have 2 pillows for your head and for your thighs
It tickles, I love your giggle

Hook:
Sleep deep
Dream well
I got ya
I got ya
Close your eyes unto this soothing lights out lullaby
I got ya, I got ya

I hum into your ear intelligible purring sounds
You sleeping? Shallow breathing
I lick your lobe quite playfully, sorry, did I excite?
Apologies (Break)

Sleep deep (I gotcha)

Lyrics:

Dahan dahang lumiliwanag ang buwan
At ako'y nandirito
Naghihintay sa muling pagdating
Ang lihim na pagtingin ko
Sa iyo, sa iyo, sa iyo, sa iyo

Araw araw ika'y nasa aking isip
Bakit ba ganito
Nasasabik na sa iyong pagdating
Nais kitang makapiling
Oh, ohhh, oh, ohhhhh

At nang ikaw ay makita
Ako ay biglang sumaya
Ikaw ang laman ng pusong ito
Ikaw ang kailangan ko
Oh, ohhh, oh, ohhhhh

Di mapakali pag nandyan ka
Di makatingin pag tumitingin ka
Gusto kong tumalon sa sobrang saya
Gusto kong sumigaw kung akin ka sana

At nang ikaw ay makita
Ako ay biglang sumaya
Ikaw ang laman ng isipan ko
Ikaw ang kailangan ko
Ikaw ang laman ng pusong ito
Ikaw ang kailangan ko
Oh, ohhh, oh, ohhhhh
Ikaw lang ang kailangan ko

we both know there's no time to waste
no words all eyes
can you read my face?
roll my hands down your back
like a map to our place

did i play my cards too fast
would it drive you away if i told you that
i have never felt so built for anybody else babe?

you pause to say that you feel me think
you'd laugh if i told you the half of it
no,
but i've got self-restraint like a wall of bricks
come on

did i play my cards too fast
would it drive you away if i told you that
i have never felt so built for anybody else babe?

would it drive you away,
would it drive you away?

would it drive you away now

(for m)

cards (ft. CRWN)

i got lost in the chain
and now i'm swinging back and forth on what to say
every little touch reminds my brain of how you taste
cruising down the street to wipe my mind clean of your face

i want you, i can't have you
so i want you more

how could i quit you
how could i miss you
when i just met you
what a mistake
growing up holy made us so lonely,
fed up, and scared with nothing to say
but don't say what they say
and i won't say what they say

i want you, i can't have you
so i want you more

breathe in
don't wait
if you feel it then just say it to my face
we spend whole days
breathing heavy as we minimize the space

i want you, i can't have you
so i want you more

(made w nick and w love)

minimize (ft. nick lazaro)

sings Japanese, musicals, jazz and just about anything that can get stuck in my mind for more than half an hour. not particularly good at it.
