Lyrics:
I’m chasing after you
As you walked out that door
And I don’t know what to say.
I’m walking after you
As you passed across the hall
And I don’t know “what did I say?”
Where are you now? Where did you go?
Is this another grief observed?
I’m chasing after you
As you rushed out that door
And I don’t know what to say.
I’m walking after you
As you ran out the door
And I don’t know “what did I say?”
Where are you now? Where did you go?
Is this another grief observed?
I’m chasing after shadows
I’m chasing after things
That has come to pass
I’m chasing after you (after you)
And I can’t find you.
Where are you now? Where did you go?
Is this another grief observed?

Isang Minutong Katahimikan (Ang kabuuan)

Capo 2nd Fret

Intro
C--

Refrain

C
Sa gitna ng pagtatalumpati
G 
Ng nagdadalamhati
C G F G 
Ay may panawagan sa lahat ng kaibigan
C G F G
Isang minuto ng katahimikan
C G F G
Isang minuto ng katahimikan

(Pause)
Em
Narinig ko
G C
Ang pagpatak ng luha sa dahon ng makahiya
Em
Narinig ko
G C
Ang paglukso’t pagaspas ng ulilang langaylangayan
Em
Narinig ko

Ang panghihinayang ng ama sa anak
G C D
Na ibinuwal nang walang kalaban-laban
Em
Narinig ko
C G
Narinig ko

II
(same chords)
Sa gitna ng pagtatalumpati
Ng nagdadalamhati
Ay may panawagan sa lahat ng kaibigan
Isang minuto ng katahimikan
Isang minuto ng katahimikan

At narinig ko
Ang buntong-hininga na nagpalangitngit sa kawayanan
Narinig ko
Ang pahayag ng pakikiisa ng mga kuliglig
Narinig ko
Ang pagmamalaki ng ina sa anak
Na hanggang sa huling hininga ay lumaban
Narinig ko
Narinig ko

Interlude
III
At narinig ko
Ang pagbuhos ng ilog sa lawa at sa dagat
Ang paghampas ng alon sa bato sa mga baybayin
Ang takot sa dasal ng maysala pagkat 
Dumarami pa ang mga lumalaban
Narinig ko
Narinig ko

C-G (2x)

Coda 1
Em G C
Na---ririnig ko sa bawat pusong nagluluksa 
G
ang yabag ng laksa
Em C
Nagbababala
Em G C 
Naririnig ko sa bisig ng api’t dalita 
G
Ang pintig ng digma
Em C
Rumaragasa

Coda 2

Em G
Narinig ko na ngayun pa lang
C 
O kay bigat ng pagguho
Em
Ang muhon at pader
G	
Ang Palasyo’t karsel
C Em 
(Guguho, guguho, guguho)
G	
Narinig ko na ngayun pa lang
C 
O anung tapat na pangako
Em	
Na sa ating lakas
G
May paglayang wagas
C D
(Pangako, pangako, pangako)
Em G C
Oooh
Em-C-G
May pawagan sa lahat ng kaibigan
Kinabukasan ng kapayapaan

ISANG MINUTONG KATAHIMIKAN  - Ericson Acosta, Renato Reyes, Jr, Monet Silvestre

Because prayers has always been used as a convenient excuse for inaction and well wishes online has become benign substitutes for empathic presence.

Lyrics:

Night falls upon
This restless sky
That was my youth
On a sea of embers
My heart burns
Longing for possibilities
On what could’ve been
But never did
For my weak heart
Never ever dared
Dared to find the confidence
To put emotional
Impulses into words
I’m hanging on a thread
I’m holding onto life
I’m lost in this endless
Space in between
The tension of the now
And the not yet
On what could’ve been
But never did
For my weak heart
Never ever dared
Dared to find the confidence
To put emotional
Impulses into words
Fuck your prayers
Show me solidarity
Fuck your prayers
Show me solidarity
Fuck your prayers
Show me solidarity

Solidarity

End Of An Era

A song about resolution that comes from substance abuse and rare moments of clarity.

Lyrics:
On the brink of tears
In a string of bad decisions
In. dance of vice and substance
And years of indecision
Unspoken words
A silent refrain
Hearts bespoke
And the chill of this occasion
In the midst of tears
On a night of poor decisions
In a haze of vice and substance
From years of indecision
I’ve spoken words
To silent refrains
Hearts unbespoke
In the chill of this occasion
On the brink of tears
In a string of bad decisions
In. dance of vice and substance
And years of indecision
Unspoken words
A silent refrain
Hearts bespoke
And the chill of this occasion

Turmoil

song recorded when i used to play  with BDFM

Incinerator - Bad Days for Mary

I Melt With You (Instrumental) sounds like something you’d find on a dusty cassette in the glove box of a car that doesn’t exist anymore. It was stitched together out of weekend boredom and the kind of longing that only comes when you realize the past wasn’t perfect—just simpler. No vocals, no pretense—just guitars doing their best to say everything that words can’t. All instruments performed, recorded, and mixed by Chuck Baclagon.

I Melt With You – Instrumental Cover of Modern English

This is an instrumental cover of Pretty in Pink I recorded years ago, back when my old band thought we could sneak a New Wave anthem into our mostly garage-punk-shoegaze setlist and make it work. We never actually played it live—something about the tempo always felt like it belonged to a different kind of heartbreak than we were used to performing. Still, I held onto this version. It sounds like 2 a.m. in someone else’s kitchen, the party long since over, with cheap strings of fairy lights still on and no one bothering to turn off the amp. It’s less about nostalgia and more about that fleeting moment where you thought reinvention was still possible—before the morning came and reminded you otherwise.

Pretty in Pink – Instrumental Cover of The Psychedelic Furs

:3 - Mostly People

translated as "Morning of Carnival," is a song by Brazilian composer Luiz Bonfá and lyricist Antônio Maria.
Cover Art by Fara Manuel

Manha de Carnival - Cover performed by Gerry Manuel (Flute)

A song I wrote months ago with Fran Lorenzo. He mixed and produced this song but it's unfinished and may never be finished. Hence, I'm posting it just here. 


Lyrics: 

I long for daylight
Oh, I’ve lost the sense of sight 
I’m sorry I waited long 

I need to see you clearly
For I feel, you’re too scared of me
I need that one last memory
Oh I, I’ll come for you my dearie
I need more

Is it safe?
Walk around
Sharpen the knives that you hold
Is it safe?
Look around
Listen to lies that they’ve told
Is it safe 
to dance alone in the dark
(I can make you fall from your scene) 
We’ll dance alone with the dark

I long for daylight
Oh, I’ve lost the sense of sight

Quick to breathe what we do
But our lips never pulled through
I’m sorry I waited long 
I need more 

I’ll move in ways you won’t like
We’ll dance alone, dance alone with the dark

Daylight Song

Love like you

Only Happy When You're Here

Death To Puberty’s music is the twisted combination of moans and drastic guitar playing.

It started as Chuck Baclagon’s musical departure from the raw punk rock sound of his former band, Pay It Forward, as a conscious exodus from the adolescent angst that was prevalent in the lyrical and musical themes of Pay It Forward as it focuses more on the somber frustrations that comes after growing out of puberty.

It is a reinvention of style and outlook that doesn’t cast away the baggage of the past but rather attempts to reorient pent up anxiety into something more understandable that the distorted sonic “fuck you” of punk rock, without altogether giving up on the whole DIY ethic and emotional honesty of punk.

We are an indie electronic music label that support DIY music projects regardless of their genre.
