My Micros Island Song

The Look In Your Eyes

[Verse 1]
Oh, it’s Valentine’s Day — boy, it came fast
Feels like yesterday, now it’s here again at last
Cards and chocolates fly off the store shelves
“Here, babe — love ya” as he heads out himself
No roses, no poems, just habit and show
A post for the 'Gram so the whole world knows

But that ain’t love — no, not even close
It’s deeper than candy and a Facebook post

[Chorus]
Love’s anger and laughter, and “where’s my black socks?”
Love’s groceries and trash night and beans and ham hocks
It’s slammed doors and silence and long midnight talks
It’s "I’m sorry," "I need you," and late evening walks
It’s "Good morning, I’m starving" and "sometimes goodbye"
It’s crying from joy and not knowing why
It’s knowing our time is slipping away
But I’ll still be here — come whatever may

That’s what love is…
Yeah, that’s what love is

[Verse 2]
It’s worn-out routines and inside jokes
It’s dinner at home and bad dad pokes
It’s "just leave me alone," then holding you tight
It’s making it through one more Monday night
It ain’t always sweet, but it’s steady and true
And if you ask me — girl, it’s me and you

[Chorus]
Love’s anger and laughter, and “where’s my black socks?”
Love’s groceries and trash night and beans and ham hocks
It’s slammed doors and silence and long midnight talks
It’s "I’m sorry," "I need you," and late evening walks
It’s "Good morning, I’m starving" and "sometimes goodbye"
It’s crying from joy and not knowing why
It’s knowing our time is slipping away
But I’ll still be here — come whatever may

That’s what love is…
Yeah, that’s what love is

[Outro]
So Happy Valentine’s, babe — no glitter, no flair
Just a simple reminder that I’ll always be there
‘Cause love’s not a moment — it’s all that we do
And if that ain’t love… I don’t know what is, do you?

Thats what LOVE is.

Verse 1
Plenny peepo in da hale? Das one strong ohana,
We cook one big pot, love stay fo’ hana.
Talk loud? Nah brah, das da way we speak,
One phone, one fam — whole crew stay deep.

⸻

Chorus
Micros roll deep, da beat in our veins,
Rice stay fryin’, muddy toes when it rains.
Freeload? Nah, we just share our stuff,
From da sea to da hood — we rough, we tough.

⸻

Verse 2
Say we beef? Nah, we play around,
Cuz throw one swing, den we chill on da ground.
Dey no get da vibe, dey don’t know da life,
We from da islands, not da mainland strife.

⸻

Chorus
Micros roll deep, da beat in our veins,
Rice stay fryin’, muddy toes when it rains.
Freeload? Nah, we just share our stuff,
From da sea to da hood — we rough, we tough.

⸻

Bridge
No mix up our grind wit’ shame or cry,
We rise wit’ da tide, head high to da sky.
Laugh all you like — we still walk strong,
Brown skin, big voice, heart loud all along.

⸻

Chorus
Micros roll deep, da beat in our veins,
Rice stay fryin’, muddy toes when it rains.
Freeload? Nah, we just share our stuff,
From da sea to da hood — we rough, we tough.

⸻

Outro
So nex time you joke, bettah talk wit’ care,
Micros no weak — we born fo’ dare.
From Pohnpei to Guam, we shout ’em proud,
Rooted in da deep — we island loud.

Don't be a Can't

Backroads is a country-pop/Americana anthem born out of Texas red dirt and small-town roots, yet written for anyone who’s ever left home chasing big dreams. With acoustic warmth, driving guitars, and a heartfelt Texan voice, it tells the story of learning that no matter how far you go, the roads that raised you never let you go.

From Friday night lights to the Lone Star sky, the song carries the pride of Texas while echoing a universal truth — every American has their own backroads, the places and people that shape who they are. With anthemic choruses and a sound made for both radio and festivals, Backroads is nostalgic, uplifting, and built to be sung out loud.
