So here's a quick song by my little brother and I. 
It's simply out of fun and boredom. Haha! Enjoy! :)

I Feel Great! - Sam and Coeli

Here's to facing all my fears. 

THE FORT

Here I am about to make a scene
Though people seem to doubt what I have in me
I've been hiding way too long in this fort that I have built
This coward has had enough
Oh I had enough

Of fear swallowing me whole 
it manipulates my every move from head to toe
I've had enough
Of isolation from the world
Life won't make sense if I keep going on my own

This curiosity will never find its rest 
Not until it finds its love interest
Let me breathe a different air
Take me to places beyond compare

Inside this fort I'll never grow
Beneath these walls I will show
That there is more than what meets the eye
And for the world to know that I no longer hide

Because I've had enough
Of fear swallowing me whole 
it manipulates my every move from head to toe
I've had enough
Of isolation from the world
Life won't make sense if I keep going on my own

I need to be brave enough to swallow all my fears
That's my one way ticket in getting out of here

The Fort (original)

This is a very spontaneous recording. I didn't intentionally do this.
I cry with those who suffered most especially during the Typhoon Yolanda.

Yolanda

This was recorded in an actual bathroom.
So hello. I wrote this song awhile ago literally while cleaning the bathroom. I randomly came up with it since it was getting boring. But hey, I ended up having fun. Now I don't have to force myself cleaning the bathroom. It ain't that bad. ;)

Cleaning bathrooms ain't that bad
It would take some time
But you won't go mad

Just focus, focus with all your might
And in the end, you just might get it right

Without you even knowing, everything will be done
In a blink of an eye, all the filth is gone

Cleaning bathrooms ain't that bad

P.S. While analyzing the lyrics, I can actually relate it to my life right now. Hahaha

Cleaning Bathrooms Ain't That Bad (ORIGINAL)

NOTE: This is an audio rip from the video I posted in FB. In other words: if you want to listen to this without my face, here you go.

This beautiful song was shared to me by my friend, Ridge Tan and asked me to sing my own rendition. It's written by Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond), a lullaby for her son. As for my cover, I dedicate this song to my 2 year-old sister, Joie. :)



I Have Never Loved Someone (My Brightest Diamond cover)

I wonder how I can make you feel 
the warmth of my hand
without our fingers tangling,
our pulses raising
Is it possible to hold it back?

But for now,
I can only embrace you with my words
while everything is still a blur

I wonder when 
I'll have the guts to ask you again
to teach me how to dance
Another lame excuse for me 
to hold your hand

But for now,
I will wait for the sun to burn this curse
The only thing I can do
is to let myself drown in your words
while everything is still a blur

Blur (original)

Afternoon Naps

I could never be who I am without my God. From all the songs I wrote, this one is different.  I didn't think about the chorus at all. It just came out. It brought me to tears while singing it spontaneously. I believe that He really spoke to me. I really felt that I'm His beloved daughter.



BELOVED

Here I am, O Lord
I come here before you
For I am weak and helpless
tired and hopeless
I come here to listen 
I won't say a word
Speak to me, my Lord
Speak to me, my Lord
I'm ready to hear Your words

My beloved daughter, have faith in me
I will take away your worries and anxieties
O, don't be afraid
I will take away all your fears
Nothing will harm you for I am here
My beloved daughter, come rest in me

Beloved

All tracks recorded and mixed by yours truly.
Here's my take on one of my favorite songs by Paramore. :)

26 - Paramore (cover)

So, yeah. Here's the official recording of my cover of Regina Spektor's Us. :)

Us (Regina Spektor cover) - Coeli

Credits to Raffy Ronquillo for playing the guitar and helping me out with the recording and mixing. It took us like 4 hours to finish this up. :D


Lyrics:
Take me beyond this marshmallow sky

The only way to go is through your eyes

My, oh my, oh my, how can this be?

You’ve drowned me in your oceans and seas

Without you even knowing

Your ship is also sinking in mine

Pirates and mermaids mumble

Words we cannot decipher

For there is only one tongue

We speak together

It takes one word to forever

What’s beyond this marshmallow sky?

They say, it’s some sort of paradise

Where the world is nowhere to be found

No chaos, no worries, you won’t hear a sound

Perhaps I’ve already found this place of mine

With you, I’m beyond this marshmallow sky

Marshmallow Sky

Well, it's not perfect at all. But I actually had fun doing this. 
I hope I didn't massacre the song. It's only the first verse and chorus anyway. Tell me what you think! :D

Skinny Love (cello and vocal experimental cover)

Since I'm loving this song so much, I just had to wreck it. 
I couldn't do the guitar plucking. I lack the skillz. Haha. So, I had to go with the cello. So, yeah. Hope you guys like it! :)

Such Great Heights by Iron and Wine (cover)

Here's to my family, my friends, Almond (Yieee.), and all you people out there who are going through difficulty. Life has never been easy for us. But despite all these trials and no matter how cruel the world would get, life is still beautiful. :)
I plan to record this again, I promise. This is just a rough one. Hihi.

Lyrics:

Splatter all of your cries
My dear, let it out in one sigh
It won't be easy I tell you 
To curl yourself up from the truth
There are millions of ways for us to escape this reality 
But whichever path we take could drive us to insanity
There's no other way out but to face all tribulations
No matter how complicated are your calculations

So let me dry your tears, my dear
You're not alone in facing these fears

I may not have the solution
or give any contribution
But here you may rest on my shoulder
My dear, we'll face the world together
I promise you it will be better
It will be
It will be better

If we let the skies suck up our worries
It won't be too heavy for the wind to carry

It will be better

If we hold on a bit further
Cling onto God's arms as He whispers

It will be better

Let me dry those tears, my dear
You're not alone in facing these fears

It will be better
