u guys remind me of The Sundays and The Buildings

Alam Mo Ba Demo

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.


June

1st single off the Chairman Mouse EP!

personnel:

jerome exmundo - guitars, vocals, lyrics
yego nepomuceno - guitars
emilio fabregas - bass
james marco - drums
kean reformado - production, mixing

tell me your stories, the minutiae of your day
hold me, don't bore me
i think that you know the way

to speak to me when i'm fragile
when i make my mistakes
sing to me all your praises
all the promises you'll never break

just deal with me gently

fate please take me by the hand
or i will burst apart
i want to understand
the insides of your heart

just speak to me when i'm fragile
when i make my mistakes
sing to me all your praises
all the promises you'll never break
i love you more than you know
so please always stay
stay with me until the summer breeze
turns into the winter spray

just deal with me gently

you don't have to take me by the hand
you don't have to take me by surprise
you don't have to show me another fate
you don't have to show me another life
it doesn't have to be this way
i don't know

Me & My Cliche

This song is a product of my teenage years spent reading YA (Young Adult) books and falling for fictional characters. Pure cheese, no shame.

Super grateful to @EanAguila for producing this song! I don't think I would have released it without your help. Thank you so much!!

LYRICS:
Verse 1
I feel alive in your eyes
You shouldn't be surprised
You give me butterflies
You don't even try

CHORUS:
And in the dark I feel your heart 
I find your gaze it doesn't waver from my face
I see you now I saw you then I'll see you for ever more

Verse 2
I see so much beyond
This road that I stand upon
And you are by my side
There's no need to hide

CHORUS

Bridge:
And if you are a world away
I know that we will be okay
Cause what we have is so surreal
It's more than tangible I feel
It's how I find you in the dark
Or how you somehow feel my heart
It's how I saw you then I see you now I'll see you for
Ever more

Ever (Now on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer)

honey go to sleep
it's getting late
do you intend to wait
for the sun
'cause if you're scared of the dark
you can tell me
and i can hold your hand
til you're dreaming

don't be so scared or i'll be too
i'm only tough when i'm with you

honey go to sleep
it's for your health
be good to yourself
once in a while
and if you shake at the thought of tomorrow
i can hold your hand
til it's alright

don't be so scared or i'll be too
i'm only tough when i'm with you

go to sleep

Di Na Babalik (E. Aguila 2009)

Laging tinitignan
mukha nating dalawa
mga lumang larawan
at mga lumang alaala

dating kinikilig
ngayon ngiti nalang
pinipigilan ang bibig
na sabihing miss kita

'di na babalik ang pagtingin
'di nagwawala ang damdamin

Alam mo naman kasi
sa tagal nating nagsama
kilala mo na ako
nababasa ang aking mukha

buti alam mo
ayoko na kasi ng gulo
masayang masaya ka na
'di na kailangan magkaeksena

'di na babalik ang pagtingin
'di nagwawala ang damdamin

Laging tinitignan
mukha niyong dalawa
sa bagong larawan
ng kasalan niyong langit ang tema


'Di Na Babalik (Demo for Shirley)

All the noises somehow cleared
And all the voices disappeared
Is this another mesmerizing question?
I found myself asking.

Tell me something I don’t know
Cause I have nowhere else to go
I have no one else to blame
Playing all these fragile games

But oh, when you waltz into the room
It’s a turbulence before a plane crash
It doesn’t matter where I land
As long as I can hold your hand

This evening I shall rest my case
Never knowing what to say
My reflections tell me wrong
But I kept pushing far too long

Tell me something I don’t know
Cause I have nowhere else to go
A solitary crow in a murder
Tell me, how much further?

But oh, when you waltz into the room
It’s a turbulence before a plane crash
It doesn’t matter where I land
As long as I can hold your hand

And I will travel faraway between the oceans
Separating our fickle stares and our bashful smiles
Don’t even deny, just give me a try
Cause words won’t be able to bridge me over

Cause your taste fills my senses
With diamond wrenches under the trenches

Backward sailings around my
Norwegian desires
Call it a game

Oh no, my sweet Leona
Don’t you even forget me
Come back, let me say once more:
“This is not goodbye”

This heart is yours for the taking
Don’t you turn your back on me again
Say it, say that you need me
Even if it’s a lie

Oh no, my sweet Leona
Don’t you even forget me
Come back, let me say once more:
“This is not goodbye”

This heart is yours for the taking
Don’t you turn your back on me again
Say it, say that you need me
Even if it’s a lie

Leona

~tis the season~

on days of rain and of thunder
i make some room on the bed
so i can prepare for companionship
once it's no longer just all in my head

on days of sun and of salt
i sit in the shade and look enviously
at those unafraid of the water
as if they were so different from me

take me to the moon and back, somebody please
i want to know how it feels

on days of work and of thanklessness
how nice it must be to hear,
"hello, how are you, what's wrong
would you like to talk it over a beer?"

it may be so that i'm just a fool
with my lofty fantasies
but it was never for lack of trying 
that love has never come to me

take me to the moon and back, somebody please
i want to know how it feels

(note: i now realize the mixing is quite loud.. i am sorry)

lovelessness

Acoustic version of my new song "Please, Please"
Recorded in Ateneo
Special thanks to Claudio Lopa and Mariana Mercado

Verse 1
O hindi ko alam kung kailan (darating)
Pagdampi ng iyong mga labi (sa pisngi)
O ano nga ba ang trip ng tadhana? (At bakit)
Wala ka pa rin sa tabi?

Pre-chorus
Ilang taon na akong naghihintay sa 'yo
Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganito
Sana nama'y iyong maiintindihan
Kung sinabi kong
"I love you very much"

Chorus
Please, please, dumating ka na
'Di ko na mapagtanto
Kung nasaan ka sa mundong ganito
Sana'y naririnig mo ako

Verse 2
Ilang buwan na akong nagdarasal (Sa bituin)
Kailan ba ako pakikinggan? (At bakit)
Kailangan pa yatang agawin ang araw sa langit? (Ito ba)
Ang tanging kailangang gawin?

Pre-chorus
Ilang taon na akong naghihintay sa 'yo
Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganito
Sana nama'y iyong maiintindihan
Kung sinabi kong
"I love you very much"

Chorus
Please, please, dumating ka na
'Di ko na mapagtanto
Kung nasaan ka sa mundong ganito
Sana'y naririnig mo ako

Bridge
Lumiliwanag ang paningin tuwing nakikita ang iyong ngiti
Gumagaan ang buhay sa bawat bulong ng iyong labi
Ang galaw ng iyong kamay ay kayang baguhin ang aking buhay
At tuwing dumadaplis ito sa akin, mundo’y nabibigyang-kulay
Makita lang ang mga mata mo’y tumitibok ang aking puso
Marinig ang tawa mo’y tumitigil ang mundo
Ngunit ang lahat ng ito’y 'di ko masabi sa iyo
Sana na lang ay nakikinig ka sa kanta ko

Pre-chorus
Ilang taon na akong naghihintay sa 'yo
Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganito
Sana nama'y iyong maiintindihan
Kung sinabi kong
"I love you very much"

Chorus
Please, please, dumating ka na
'Di ko na mapagtanto
Kung nasaan ka sa mundong ganito
Sana'y naririnig mo ako

Please, Please (Unplugged)
