Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Just a rough cut patched together using synth instruments. Need to record with live music! I've always loved this song but still afraid to approach it...

BTW you all need to get this amazing music app, Chordbot:

Eleanor Rigby (cover) (rough cut)

Rough cut, rerecorded a few parts. Still developing. :)

I poured all my waters into the sea
I gave my name to the dark deep
I shed my skin for the ocean to keep
I am in the sea and the sea is in me

As I sang the siren song
The moon was swallowed by the sun
Beneath the shadow of the sun
The sea and I became as one

Siren Song (rough cut 2)

This is a blues song about the loneliest whale in the world, "52 Hertz".

I've been singing this song all my life
I've been waiting for that special soul to reply
Trust me, I've been searching low and high

Under summer sunshine and the moonlit sky
From tropical waters to arctic ice
Trust me, I've been searching low and high

I need someone who floats my boat
Someone who sings a compatible note
Ooh
Gotta find another crooner like me
So we can do a doowop duet together
In the sea

Searching Low & High (rough demo for New Song Sunday!)

A non-fictional song about my preference for sobriety, and how this can benefit you! :) Written for New Song Sunday-- one new song every week, check it out here: http://newsongsunday.blogspot.com/

Give me mocktails or juice or water
I've never been an alcohol drinker
I don't like the taste of it
And how it makes me dizzy, dizzy
I'd rather not get dizzy, woozy
Dizzy, woozy
Dizzy, woozy
Dizzy, dizzy
I'd rather not get dizzy

I'm not gonna stop you from having your fun
Feel free to drink as much as you want, 'cause
When you're with me you've got somebody sober
Somebody you can trust as your designated driver
I am the sober one

I Am The Sober One (unfinished) (New Song Sunday!)

Just some feelings about being a "grown-up"... Can anyone relate? :) Written for New Song Sunday-- one new song every week, check it out here:http://newsongsunday.blogspot.com/

I used to think that growing up just happened automatically
I used to think that turning twenty-one would turn me into an adult magically
They're getting second degrees, doing groceries, and even paying bills masterfully
It just seems to come to everyone else naturally

I thought I'd be a grown-up by now
But I still feel like a child somehow
I thought I'd be a grown-up by now
But I still feel like a child somehow

I'm just going through the motions, playing a part, playing dress-up
Am I the only one who hasn't mastered the art of being grown-up?

I Thought I'd Be A Grown-Up By Now (unfinished) (New Song Sunday!)

Another little ditty for http://newsongsunday.blogspot.com/ -- a new song every week! :)

Mmm mmm mmm, look at that mercury
Rising all the way past a hundred degrees
And here I was, thinking nothing could beat
The heat of the summer in the Philippines
Love comes in and it's hotter than heat
Hotter than heat
Hotter than heat
Ooh, ooh
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm

Why We Love Manila Theme Song

And now she comes and now she goes,
And now she keeps you on your toes,
She lives for poetry and prose:
She's the violet indigo purple girl.

I hope this makes you giggle, because I had so much fun writing this naughty little ditty ;)

If you only knew
All the things I wanna do to you
If you only knew
All the things I wanna do to you
Wanna do to you ooh ooh
Wanna do to you ooh ooh
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo

Hope you never find the power to read minds
Think that you'll find mine either dirty or divine

Hope you never find the power to read minds
Think that you'll find mine either dirty or divine

Maybe dirty and divine? Sinful and sublime?

If you only knew
All the things I wanna do to you
If you only knew
All the things I wanna do to you
Wanna do to you ooh ooh
Wanna do to you ooh ooh
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo

I'd die if you knew how much I think of you
While in bed, yes I do, in the car, the shower too

I'd die if you knew how much I think of you
While in bed, yes I do, in the car, the shower too

Yes I do, oh I do, oh how it's true!

If you only knew
All the things I wanna do to you
If you only knew
All the things I wanna do to you
Wanna do to you ooh ooh
Wanna do to you ooh ooh
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo

Here's what I couldn't say
I want to have my way with you, only you
No one else will do but you
What would you do if you knew
What would you do if you knew

If You Only Knew

Practicing La Vie En Rose with my pianist, Eusebio Darbin (Kuya Bong) at The Other Office piano bar, December 1, 2011

Please forgive the random noises around us :)


La Vie En Rose (rehearsal)

Just a quick and dirty home recording. I love this song.

Won't someone please give me the correct lyrics for the version sung by Jacqueline François? No matter where I look for lyrics, the second verse is given as follows (and so this is what I followed in my own recording), but obviously this isn't what she's singing:

Puis vers la mer
Il disparut dans les flots verts
Et j'entendis encore de loin
De très loin
L'écho de sa voix

I don't speak French, so please feel free to help me by correcting any mispronunciations.

P.S. I used Polychord app for the accompaniment.

Etrange Garçon (Nature Boy in French)

A song about plastic balloons :D
If you're not from the Philippines and you're not familiar with this crystalline colored sticky gel resin that you squeeze out and ball around a little stick and then you blow it into a giant resilient bubble ball, check out Mikey Bustos' plastic balloons tutorial on YouTube:

Chords: C F D G

Plastic balloons
Rainbow colored afternoons
With our plastic balloons
In our rainbow colored afternoons

How I'd love to take a walk with you
Under the sun and under the moon
Stroll away all the day by the bay
Hand in hand nothing planned just me and you

With our plastic balloons
In our rainbow colored afternoons
With our plastic balloons
In our rainbow colored afternoons
Plastic balloons
Rainbow colored afternoons
Plastic balloons (shoobee doobee doo pa pa pa)
Rainbow colored afternoons (shoobee doobee doo pa pa pa)

Shoobee doobee doo pa pa pa
Shoobee doobee doo pa pa pa
Shoobee doobee doo pa pa pa pa pa pa 
Shoobee doobee doo pa pa pa

Oh how I’d love to (I’d love to take a walk with you)
Stroll away all the day by the bay just me and you

With our plastic balloons (shoobee doobee doo pa pa pa)
In our rainbow colored afternoons (shoobee doobee doo pa pa pa)
With our plastic balloons (shoobee doobee doo pa pa pa)
In our rainbow colored afternoons (shoobee doobee doo pa pa pa)
Plastic balloons (pa pa pa)
Rainbow colored afternoons (pa pa pa)
Plastic balloons (pa pa pa)
Rainbow colored afternoons (pa pa pa)

Shoobee doobee doobee pa pa pa
Shoobee doobee doobee pa pa pa
Plastic balloons (shoobee doobee doo pa pa pa)
Rainbow colored afternoons (shoobee doobee doo pa pa pa)


Plastic Balloons

I like drawing, singing, and jumping rope.
