Manifestation is the sound of a band calling its future into being.

Recorded during the creative upheaval when RTZ was dissolving and a new identity was trying to break through, this album became more than a set of songs… it became the moment SixFootStilts was born.

The turning point happened almost accidentally.

As the title track Manifestation took shape, something clicked. The band wasn’t just writing music they were writing a new story for themselves. The artwork, with its open‐handed silhouette and rising light, became a visual reminder of what they were doing without even realizing it: creating intention, naming a future, stepping into it.

During the wild name-change experiment of late 2022, each band member submitted ten possible identities. Dozens of names surfaced and fell away. Pages of notes, debates, unexpected laughter, and a hundred “almosts” later… one name revealed itself, almost as if summoned by the album already taking form.

Love is an addiction, but sometimes it becomes a vice to get rid of another.

i wrote this and sang it!!!! certified certifiable guaranteed guaranteeable!!!!!

lyrics:
how do you get lost in an unfamiliar way 
and feel okay
but how could you forget what you saw that day 
that made you want to stay

how does it feel that you're never gonna see
if your dreams turn out the way you wanted them to be
but don't put the blame on me

all i know is one thing, maybe two
but for the rest and the best i haven't a clue
all i know's i don't know, man, i don't know what to do
cos i never thought i'd ever be confused

i thought i was immune
all this time I've been a fool

how could you lose track of time and find yourself all grown
ain't that a way to go
how could you expect to know the things you never learned
i was stupid, now it shows, now i know

and I'm never gonna see if my dreams turn out the way i wanted them to be
maybe that's reality

all i know

named after my favorite flower

had this riff in my head for nearly a year now, decided to use to to clear my backlog and start with a fresh slate

pic is from baguio nakalimutan ko na anong kalsada basta yung hindi kennon road

sa'yo (munimuni)

watch me slowly lose my mind

i took her out to see some bands
and she said, nobody does this for me anymore
i said i do, i would, i will

and then i wrote her a song
and she said, nobody loves me like this anymore
i said i do, i would, i will

i've been lonesome and it's cool that you're here
i could die if i blew it, die if i blew it

i heard a whisper in my ear
and i said, nobody calls me my name anymore
she said, i do, i would, i will

and then she fixed up my hair
and i said, nobody says i look good anymore
she said, i do, i would, i will

i don't know what comes next after this
i would tell you if i knew it, tell you if i knew it

but there's beauty in our time running out
and i don't wanna see through it
i don't wanna see through it

estranged and in love (i do, i would, i will)
