Reaching a peak of #6 on the iTunes Singapore Pop charts, this song serves as an introduction to the genre of music I have been dabbling into over the last year as I grew as a songwriter and singer. I am proud to call this song my own, and I hope you guys like the track as much as I do.

Lyrics:
A thousand things
I can remember and
I watch your shadow
Fade into the dark

We danced on cars in
the morning light and
All I recall is looking in your eyes

You can take my hand and
Run under the stars again
We could be in our rocketships

Even when I'm far away and 
you miss me more and more each day
I'd have them box up all my love and deliver to you
Signed sealed delivered to you
Signed sealed delivered to you

Along the 405
We sing "Fancy" loudly
But you're my one and
Only summer jam

Chorus

Here I am, this is all that I've got
They said no guarantee if it's lost in transit
Here I am, this is all that I want
I swore I would give you my all

Signed Sealed Delivered

Like we don't give a. 

This song was one of the 7 songs that I scrapped off an album, which I released as a free 5-song EP in 2014 titled 'Drummer Heartbeat'. Bring on the 1980s, and be "Part of Our Party".

We had a few song references in the process that we wanted to play with "(We) Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus. Well hope y'all like it.


Part of Our Party

This song was one of the 7 songs that I scrapped off an album, which I released as a free 5-song EP in 2014 titled 'Drummer Heartbeat'. So bring on Colbie Caillat, Jason Mraz's vibes and hummmmm to it.

Just a little acoustic music with a lil' reggae feel, Well hope y'all like it.

Feelings Show

Sing-talk verse beats

Got a pocketful of dreams at my doorway
Won't care if you say that I'm crazy
Won't stop till I get it baby
Gonna fly cause I'm ready ready

Won't stop if the door keeps slamming
Cause your love's got me elevating
Mom and Dad always saying the same things
Wanna be a star, well keep on dreaming.

Every step I take, wanna make me feel real
Every step I go, one step closer to this goal

And everytime that you're near
my heart beats like a drum
Won't let go of this feeling
Can you hear that?
Can you can you can you hear that?
Listen to the beat of my drum

Take my pride and lay it down on me
Can't steal my soul in my music
Get high if you want this baby
On stage I get crazy, crazy

Won't let rain stop me from shining
With your love, I'm rising-rising
Mom and Dad always saying the same things
Wanna be a star, well keep on dreaming.

Chorus

It's like I keep chasing paper planes, I'd never get far
But I'd still take this chance and walk down my parade
Can you hear that?

Chorus

Beat Of My Drum

For all the heartbreaks and letdowns.
For all the single and lonely.
For all the wrongs I've done.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Lyrics:
This brings me back to summer just last year
I didn't know how we fought over the smallest things
Words became our daggers in our palms
and we threw it round the room like it was fun

But it didn't occur to me that
you would be my only one
It didn't occur to me that
I still miss you right now

Chorus
Can I call you, Can I call you
Like I always do, like I always do
Can I call you, 
tell you everything you mean to me?
Have you read that apology
I left on right outside your door?
Can I call you, can I tell you that
I need you and I miss you
And it's all because I didn't wanna lose
Can I call you, can I tell you I'm sorry

All seems too quiet, now that I am by myself
I knew that I was wrong to let you go like that (I'm sorry)
These lines that time could heal, were wrong
I'm not over you, my heart just wants to tell you

That I didn't meant to let you get so hurt, oh baby
I didn't mean to let go of your hand, just like that

CHORUS

I don't wanna be just another part of your memory
We made a mess, I do confess
I don't wanna look back and know that I ruined our chances
I made this mess, I confess

CHORUS

Lyrics:
They told me when I was young, I didn’t know a thing
I can’t believe I’m 20 now and I still fell for it
What’s left of me are only bones you’ll never see
Said I never let my walls down but I'd let you in

When I’m choking at the seams, you always reel me in
Always seem to heal my wounds, now put me in your arms

So if wanna settle down with me, I would, I would
Wanna lay right in your arms
and settle down down
Though I may have big dreams
I’m putting my both feet underneath
I've found in-between
Maybe it’s long-way past my time 
that I settle down
I wanna settle down with you

In time we’re 63, I’d watch my chances fade
So when I’m 43, I hope I’d raise up three
With you, I’d always know there’s someone there for me
I said I'd never let my walls down but I did let you in

I’d give you all my youth, my all, my everything
Cause if you were to leave, I don’t know if I’d live

Chorus

Back then I never believed that I would be in love
that there could be someone for me  
Back then I never believed in love
And now I’m waking in your arms

Chorus
