Mother Space - Gentle Universe

nice to see you could make it tonight
i shook off my feeling uptight
thinking how we were before's
just like how we are now
only happier

guess i'm glad that nothing has changed
no need for a photo framed
to recall how we were before's
just like how we are now
only freer

and someone's gonna take your place inside of my heart
someone's gonna take me away

nice to know that you're doing alright
and we've grown too old to fight
knowing how we were before's 
just like how we are now
that's that

and someone's gonna take your place inside of my heart
someone's gonna take me away
someone's gonna take your place inside of my heart
someone's gonna take me away

note: i am working on an EP!!! (or an album, if i can write enough songs that i'd be satisfied with)

this song is just an exercise, like "in my blood". i wanted to play around with garageband's guitar settings. i won't be including this on the EP, so even though this is a demo, i'd say this is the final version of this song. that would be all 

someone's gonna

Big thanks to Kian Ransom for helping me out to do this song! 

Lyrics:

May your friends be with you all
Never lose the ones you trust nor let them hanging on your wall
May your friends be with you always my dear
Especially the ones who talk and knows of all the coming fear

And no matter where you are no place is not too far
Just give them a call, give them a call
Whoever you become your dear friends will be calm
They'll catch you when you fall

Hold on, take my hand
The tighter you hold the more you'll begin to understand
About these lands that we hope to cross
May we find those poor souls that are lost

May your friends be with you all
Bless them with love and happiness oh don't you ever let them crawl
May your friends be with you when days end
Let this sound take away all the pain in your heart my good friend

And no matter where you are no place is not too far
Just give them a call, give them a call
Whoever you become your dear friends will be calm
They'll catch you when you fall

Hold on, take my hand
The tighter you hold the more you'll begin to understand
About these lands that we hope to cross
May we find those poor souls that are lost

Lyrics: 

I want someone who’s with someone else
It’s not right but I can’t help myself
And though I knew about them before the wanting began
Still it plagued my mind, all these wanting plans, wanting plans
Ohh, ohh

I’m a well behaved, pretty decent son
Never chose the needle, never fired a gun
But I’m getting older now
Gotta choose to live somehow
Oh it doesn’t help, that I’m so deprived 
Of the one thing that keeps this world alive
Is it too soon for me to say
That my life is wasting away x3

'Cus I want someone who’s with someone else
It’s not right but I can’t help myself
And though I knew about them before the wanting began
Still it plagued my mind, all these wanting plans, wanting plans

Back to square one, alone once again
If I fail to adapt should I learn to pretend
'Cus I’ve been playing this game for far too long
But these rules I seem to keep on getting wrong
But don’t you worry at the end of the day
I figured out how to remain okay
I just need to forget you
But I don’t want to forget you
I wish I never had met you
Oh I’m so glad to have met you
I can’t keep thinking about you
I won’t stop thinking about you
These dreams of mine are full of you
These dreams of mine are all for you 

You and him, look quite good together
But don’t you think an “us” just sounds
So much better?
But even if I try to steal
I barely even have the appeal
And what you two have is real
I know what you have is real
But still

I want someone who’s with someone else
It’s not right but I can’t help myself
And though I knew about them 
Still it plagued my mind, all these wanting plans, wanting plans

LYRICS

It was on a rainy day
I was heading on my way back home
Took a cigarette break in an empty shed
Spacing out, unsure what to do next

Didn't know what to do with myself
Days went by and I haven't changed at all
Looking at the world with tired eyes
Stuck in place while everything goes by
When will I move forward?

It was on a rainy day
You came running seeking cover
And beside me you stood
Making conversation
Like we'd already met

Didn't know what to do with myself
Exchanging words as if it wasn't strange at all
Hearing only your voice beside me
I wouldn't mind if everything went by
Until we move forward

Didn't know what to do with myself
Didn't know what to do with myself

The rain has settled down
I don't feel like going home
And you don't want to be alone

Why don't we walk forward?

On A Rainy Day

moving with the corners of your mouth
a follow-through affirming 
you’ve got it all figured out
blushing like sundown sky 
in the middle of springtime
a blanket keeping warm those tired eyes

away is where they take me
please say you don’t notice
how i fixate my eyes on them
say you’ll share with me
your peaches and cream

drowning in your memory pool
is it another story? oh, i’m willing to hear it
whistling the song stuck in your head 
funny i listened to the same thing last night
oh my my my

share with me your peaches

Found an old demo of The Strange Creatures' song, Stargazer with Ronz Gumabao on vocals. Audio doesn't sound good, but it will surely bring a smile.

The Strange Creatures - Stargazer (First Demo)

Break up season, just passed and i thought the song fits the mood. Its a rough track! All of this made possible by technology and Garageband! :)

Lyrics: 

I know you know it's not easy to
Be with me for six months and two
Years of our lives it makes you think
What went on that that pushed us to sink

so low. My dignity's at stake
Come closer while I hesitate
To be so numb, no pain, no hate
You come over, now it's too late.

God made me
To never leave you alone
I like that
We cry in unison

I can't sing and dance at the same time
Where are the words when they don't rhyme
These are the wounds you fill with salt
I'm not okay
That's not my fault
(That's my baby)

I know sometimes you think I'm unfair
But it hurts more when you're not there
To soothe the pain that you have caused
To quell the love that we now lost

Ohh, la

Whatever That Was (Demo)

It hits you by surprise
No noises out to warn
And when it comes at night
It stays in dire times

Against your weary heart
Against your weakened logic
Look for the root and cause 
Faltered by what's discovered

We are lonely
And you're beautiful right now
In time I hope you know that
In time, believe in me

There's nothing I want more for

You live in every moment
Laugh like there is no pain
I look and there I see it
The fight you're struggling with

Let me be your reserve
Let me hold and fire the gun
To fend off invading secrets
You try so hard to keep and hide

For You

SHIRKERS 1992 THEME

Shirkers (Ben Harrison 1992 Theme)

hey y'all it's been agesssss here's a new song for youuuu

walking around feeling light as air
to know that i've got you there
easing my heart kiss by kiss
i think it's cool we share something as honest as this

so it's two trains and a footbridge
to get to you 
long days in between 
and the scorching sun
but i'd go through it
brave the storms, i'd really do it
if it means to be with you 

darling, the days do get hard
the longer that we're apart
but there's nothing that circumstance could do 
i'm learning of love and of you

cars, trains, circumstances, days (demo)

world tour 2022
all d plans i made w u
instead i went to gwangju
to check what we could do
yup
