Essential Tracks (Philippines) - August 2016

Capital

Drunken words fill my mind
My eyes are tired from these lights
I'm far from home but I don't mind

Those hands don't seem to move
How long has it been?
How long have you been gone?
It's fine, I'm moving on

Say that you are for me too
Cause I don't know what it feels like to be without you
I'm falling heavy now
I'm falling to the ground

It's morning now
But the pain still remains
You're gone
And what's in store for me?

These bottles don't seem to drown all these thoughts inside my head
Unanswered questions to the things that you've said
Someday you'll be right here on my bed

The Morning

better version

NINUNO (Ancestor) 
bullet dumas

kakarampot na lang ba kaming umaakay sa sugatang dalagitang kalikasan 
di naman kami napili di rin naman pinilit pero nasa'n na yung bayanihan 
pagmasdan ang simoy ng hanging nanggagaling sa pampasaherong sasakyang pabrika 
na kahit ibon nababahing sa himpapawid na akala niya'y kaniyang kinagisnan

sayang naman ang sinimulan ng ating mga ninuno

sige kulayan mo ng basura ang iyong paligid 
isemento ang bukid ano pa ba 
kelan tayo matututo? 
kung kelan meron ng masisisi? 
kelan pa tayo kikilos?

sayang pinagkatiwalaan pa naman tayo ng ating mga ninuno

hindi pa huli ang lahat meron ka pang magagawa 
di (mag)papahuli ang lahat

inaasahan tayo ng ating mga ninuno 
nino?

Ninuno (Ancestor)

who are you
in the darkest hours of the night
when I’m not looking
and do I really wanna know?

do the city lights
bleed through the blinds
and bounce from your eyes
into the night
from your window

where does your sorrow go
when you find yourself completely alone?

and it’s cyclical
you say of the way your day is spent
bed, train, work, and back again

but you talk of these streets
like the veins of your urban memories, manifest
and I’m thrown

where does your sorrow go
when you find yourself completely alone?

blocks and blocks
and swathes of roads
non-descript
and standard homes
dim streetlights
and endless freeway
beers outside convenience stores

lacing digits, touching toes
tell me things that no one knows
where does all your sorrow go
where does all your sorrow go

EARLY/LATE

you
i saw your face in june
you didn't have a clue of my infatuation

clues that i gave out to you
you took my bait it seemed so easy
you've made it very easy

did i ever expect to get out of my recent wreck?
will we ever expect to get out of our recent wreck?

i did not expect a response
from a girl of distance and 
an obedience to my affectations

did you ever expect to get out of your recent wreck?
will we ever expect to get out of our recent wreck?

please, tell me about your day.

Misteryoso

Hindi ko akalaing mapapadpad sa ganito
Nilalayo ang mga mata
Ikaw pa rin ang nakikita

Misteryosong binibini
Sa isang tingin, sa isang tingin
Misteryosong binibini
Kapangyarihan ko'y ninakaw mo

Ano'ng gayuma ang nasagap
Hindi ako makakibo
Mga tuhod nanlalambot
Ang lakas lakas ng hatak mo

Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes
There is something more to this
Don't ever, don't ever

We've been running around for a while now
Going in circles, it's a cycle
Counting the ways to fall asleep
Tell me a story, tell me a story

Feeling a little cold
I light up a match
This fire is out of control
Let it unfold, let it unfold

Close your eyes
There is something more to this end of line
Don't ever, don't ever

Words and Melody by Mike Constantino
Music by Jesser Sison
Arranged by Conscious & The Goodness

Hook:
Bagay tayo pero
Type mo ‘ko pero
Gusto mo ‘ko pero
Mahal mo ‘ko pero

I.
Sabi nga ng matatanda
Babae’t lalaki, hirap magtugma
Perspektibo’y ibang-iba
Lalong-lalo na
Sa pag-ibig
Oh, sa pag-ibig

II.
Ang pananaw ko at pananaw mo
Pagbasa’y madalas na nagkakalito
Sapantaha’y maling-mali
Dapat sana’y kay dali
Ng pag-ibig
Oh, ng pag-ibig

Pre-chorus:
Mga dahilan, pagkaka-kilanlan
Magagawan naman ng paraan
Basta’t magbukasan lang ng isipan

Hook

III.
Kita ko na kung nasaan ka
At ‘di pagpipilitan ang aking puna
Basta’t tatanggapin ko ng 
Lubos ang iyong pero
At pag-ibig
Oh, at pag-ibig

Unstable

How long will you keep it inside
You run away and find a place to hide
You can always hide under the sheets
Lay it down, it's all we need

We are unstable
But we are inseparable
We are unstable
But we are, we are

How long will you keep me outside
You don't even know what's on my mind
I could be yours, you could be mine
Together we'll find our time

Let's work it out
We're gonna work it out

Imogen Heap Tiny Human Remix

Music produced by Lamb St.

Lyrics:

She’s been crying on the top of the world
I can hear her everyday
I’m surprised she’s all alone
I guess that’s not for me to say

Who am I to decide her way?
I’m a “nobody” in a plane
Who am I to answer her calls?
If in her mind, I’m a million miles away

I’d save her if I had the means
A good man with a plan
But I guess I’m far from that
With all the faults that I’ve done

Who am I to decide her way?
I’m a “nobody” in a plane
Who am I to answer her calls?
If in her mind, I’m a million miles away

Who am I to decide her way?
I’m a “nobody” in a plane
Who am I to answer her calls?
If in her mind, I’m a million miles away

If in her mind, I’m a million miles away

If in her mind, I’m a million miles away

flowers

who’s that boy?
he's tappin by your window
flowers in hand yes he demands another chance
who’s that girl?
hiding by her pillows
bags packed in case
she’s going away forevermore

no good will come from this and i bet
juliet and romeo but not yet
run away my baby
where did u hide?
(x2)

where's your boy?
crying by the stairway
guess it’s too late she left me forevermore
where’s your girl?
flying in her aeroplane
oceans away
babe that’s okay i’ll wait for u

no good will come from this and i bet
juliet and romeo but not yet
run away my baby
where did u hide?
(x2)

never let you go [repeat till end]

flowers by your door got me feeling bored

TRACK 4 FROM THE CHAIRMAN MOUSE EP!

jerome exmundo - guitars, synth programming, vocals, lyrics
yego nepomuceno - guitars
emilio fabregas - bass
james marco - drums
kean reformado - production, mixing

you are the ocean
a floating secret in the sea
you are the spirit
of the voices echoing mine

you are a chapter
the last one on my mind
floating in circles
your face is stuck in my eyes

this room is empty
and all i can do is smile
her mind's divided
maybe she's just empty inside

i am devoted to you
i don't know but i do
i swear i'd die for you
i do

just say that you're mine
and i'll be okay
i wouldn't know how it'll be arranged
just say that you're mine
day after day
hour after hour
week after week
i'll pray

Her Two Faces

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

Just a very very very very rough cover track I did one rainy night in 2012

Live From Trona

Grown Up Calls

recorded in 1 take in a closet
when i was 13 i was in a guitar center trying out thinlines all day bc they were my fave guitar and the ja-90 came out and i really wanted it. i got something similar (and nicer) 8 years later and i named him benjamin. 

benjamin
dont let me forget that summer
benjamin
remind me that i can do better
benjamin
i have never been so glad to be afraid

benjamin
impulse just becomes decision way to quick for me to even know my limit
i've been staring at the signs but i could never read them
you're a language i could never comprehend
did you even think that i could ever have it in me
just to pack 2 bags and fly out to a monster city
every passing minute makes me feel more tiny and more glad to be alive
or just glad to be alive

there's a high from being miserable and jaded
finding sounding boards for all of your frustrations
you confirm your biggest fears to the most pragmatic ears
and them pretend that it could somehow make you safe
but when i am around you i am nervous screaming silently while scanning every detail of your face
all this fear that i will never really feel this way again
lights the fire that burns me into being brave

you're my fleeting summer fuck up
i'm your tropical mistake
i have never been more glad to be afraid

benjamin

Birthday present for Mother. Luv yu.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTz4nEnMpBg&feature=youtu.be

Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the boy who eats his breakfast on his bed
Nothing seems to fit 
Those raindrops keep falling on my head
They keep falling, 

Cause i just done me some talking to my mum
And i said i love the way she got all her things done
Working two jobs 
Raindrops keep falling on my head 
They keep falling

But there one thing i know
My momma always loves me
She wont leave me
It wont be long till happiness comes up to greet we

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesnt mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Cryings not for me cause
I aint gonna stop the rain by complaining

Happy Birthday Mom

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head (Cover)

Sometimes

Aside from wringing stripped-down confessionals for her solo acoustic project, Kai Atienza fronts psychedelic soul band Analemma whose debut EP Evodia shows fearless creativity despite the inherent lack of subtlety in terms of production. Inarguably the best song of the record is “Bounce,” an iridescent showstopper whose flair for theatricality and sonic unpredictability is a revelation in itself. Ambition is pretty much the virtue here, but it’s done in such a tasteful way. From the dramatic shifts in structure to the soulful delivery, the track morphs from a skittery electro-R&B jam to a prog freak-out that brings to mind Janelle Monáe on acid—whatever that means. Spin this track in repeat and indulge:
