I wrote a song for Aubrey Plaza, if she were a place. But she's not. It's also not a song about her being a place. This was sung with a rough voice, after having sung it the night before. Be happy!

Aubrey Plaza (Sung Into A Cellphone)

Some new strings were plonked onto my old faithful guitar, and they sounded stellar. Thanks to Kristopher Chong for taking the time to record it!

Out Of Time (recorded at Merdekarya, 12 March 2015)

A few months ago, Armand Tanzarian, Shaneil Devaser, Tristan Devadason and I jammed. This is the last song from that session. My voice was a bit rough, but I'm quite proud of this. BTW, this was the first time (and last) that we played this.

I See The Wall

I wrote this from the perspective of an old man who preys on those who pray. Don't be offended.

Lyrics!
====
Little girl 
I love you more than Jesus
I love you more than Jesus
More than Jesus loves you

Little girl
I need you than Jesus
I need you more than Jesus
More than Jesus needs you

Wham bam, spick and span
You’re so young and pure
I got what you need
I can be your cure

You read that holy book
Like it’s the gospel truth
Come on, take my hand
Maximise your youth

Little girl 
I love you more than Jesus
I love you more than Jesus
More than Jesus loves you

Little girl
I need you than Jesus
I need you more than Jesus
More than Jesus needs you

Someone should tell you
That there’s more to life
More to hatching kids
And being a faithful wife

Come on, little girl
Take a look what’s around
Get spirituality 
When we’re going down

I know you need more 
Than the dogma and the bores
Than the sermons and the feats
Than the preachers who don’t teach
I can give you more
More than you will ever learn
Take my hand, you will not burn
Take my hand, you will not burn

I Love You More Than Jesus (Rough Demo)

This is a cover of Rozella's "Dark Side". And by 'cover', I mean the overt layering of a minimum of ambient swooshes, five guitar chords and lots of whispering.

Dark Side // a poor Ian Tai cover

I cover Morrissey! And that's about it, really.

First Of The Gang // a poor Ian Tai cover

Just a quick minute-long cover of a Daiyan Trisha chorus. This was fun to make, and I thought I'd share it.

Ekspresi Kami

Hoping to turn this into a full-fledged song one day. As always, it’s for that special one out there. Bru ha ha.

Lyrics:

You had the face of God 
So I took you home
In the dead of the night
We were alone

You had the face of God
So I took you home
In the heat of the night
We came undone

And you can’t deny it
You cannot buy it
It’s love

You might wanna bless it
Can’t second guess it
It’s love, love, love, love


You had the face of God 
So I took you home
In a world of weeds
You are a stone


You had the face of God 
So I took you home
Like glass in the breeze
You are the one

And you can’t deny it
You cannot buy it
It’s love

You might wanna bless it
Can’t second guess it
It’s love, love, love, love

You Had The Face Of God (Demo)

I cranked out an instrumental and asked anyone if they wanted to do their own thing on it...and Jay Ridzwan said yes. This is just for fun, so be gentle with us.

I came up with the instrumentation, while Jay's sung his own melody and lyrics. I mixed everything, and the rest is here. Enjoy.
