Escolta(Demo) - Jan Roberts, tangi

stay with me (short cover)

pagod tayong dalawa galing sa ukayan
humihikab ka na habang papuntang sakayan 
bandang santolan nagaantay nang masasakyan
umidlip ka muna sumandal saking balikat mahal

mahaba pa ang biyahe
matulog ka muna saking tabi
ako ang bahala makakauwi ka nang payapa
sa ngayon ika'y tititigan ngingiti sayong kagandahan
malayo pa ang sampaloc dahil tayo'y nasa anonas palang

[chorus]
Dahan-dahan kitang sinusulyapan
Mga problema'y nawawala sa aking isipan
Kapag kasama ka, ako na ata ang pinakamaligaya
walang problema, sana lagi nalang kitang kasama

A poem accompanied by original background piano music:


A Pause Of Thought by Christina Rossetti


    I looked for that which is not, nor can be,
        And hope deferred made my heart sick in truth:
        But years must pass before a hope of youth
            Is resigned utterly.

    I watched and waited with a steadfast will:
        And though the object seemed to flee away
        That I so longed for, ever day by day
            I watched and waited still.

    Sometimes I said: This thing shall be no more;
        My expectation wearies and shall cease;
        I will resign it now and be at peace:
            Yet never gave it o'er.

    Sometimes I said: It is an empty name
        I long for; to a name why should I give
        The peace of all the days I have to live?--
            Yet gave it all the same.

    Alas, thou foolish one! alike unfit
        For healthy joy and salutary pain:
        Thou knowest the chase useless, and again
            Turnest to follow it.


An analysis of the poem: 

Christina Rossetti's poem "A Peal of Bells" juxtaposes the solemnity of death with the vibrant celebration of a new life, symbolized by church bells. The poem reflects on the cyclical nature of life and death, highlighting themes of renewal and hope amidst loss. Rossetti's use of imagery and sound emphasizes the continuity of existence, suggesting that each ending is accompanied by a new beginning, thus intertwining joy and sorrow in the human experience.


Concerning the background music:
 
Neo-Contemporary Ethereal Fusion music is an attempt at an extraordinary and intricate musical journey that incorporates an array of innovative elements and artistic influences. Drawing inspiration from Neo-Classical, Avant-Garde, and Contemporary music, it standw as a tribute to the limitless possibilities to poetic exploration. 

This track showcases relentless commitment to pushing the boundaries of musical expression beyond the musical rules. 

Its Experimental nature invites listeners to embrace the unknown, as it delves into uncharted sonic territories. The result is an intricate tapestry of sound that challenges traditional norms and expectations.

A Peal Of Bells by Christina Rossetti

how many songs must i write
til i no longer sing for you
how many lies must i say
til i can say the truth

that you’re not in my blood
that i’m somebody new
that you’re not in my blood
oh no, not you

i know it’s gonna be a long way down
but i’ll be on my feet again, soon
i’ll do whatever turns me around
and i will be myself again, soon

i wrote my pen dry
every feeling for you
i let time go by
i was reeling from you

now you’re not in my blood
as much as you were
in my bigger picture
you’re now a blur

and i know it’s gonna be a long way down
but i’ll be on my feet again, soon
do whatever turns me around
and i will be myself again

and i won’t stop
believing love is true, is kind, is existent 
i know it’s just an exercise of patience, oh i know
i know that someone waits for me

=================================

note: i've been talking a lot about all the music i've been writing but the truth is, almost all of the tracks i've made so far just don't satisfy me yet. i wrote and demo'd this within a few hours both as an exercise and as a way of emptying my head so i can work on my other songs. that would be all


in my blood (love is true)

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

Di Na Babalik (E. Aguila 2009)

Laging tinitignan
mukha nating dalawa
mga lumang larawan
at mga lumang alaala

dating kinikilig
ngayon ngiti nalang
pinipigilan ang bibig
na sabihing miss kita

'di na babalik ang pagtingin
'di nagwawala ang damdamin

Alam mo naman kasi
sa tagal nating nagsama
kilala mo na ako
nababasa ang aking mukha

buti alam mo
ayoko na kasi ng gulo
masayang masaya ka na
'di na kailangan magkaeksena

'di na babalik ang pagtingin
'di nagwawala ang damdamin

Laging tinitignan
mukha niyong dalawa
sa bagong larawan
ng kasalan niyong langit ang tema


'Di Na Babalik (Demo for Shirley)

Discorama Queen

By the time the music's thru, you're gone
then i'm left to carry on alone
You know the crowd, can be really cruel sometimes
when you got no one to hold you in their arms

I could try to look for someone else
But i know that you can never be replaced
I’d  give up this crown and this glorious scepter
Dont wanna be the discorama queen if you're not there

I dont mind playing second best
i dont need the approval of the host and guests
i just want you to keep dancing beside me
i dont mind staying up all night
to loose you in the morning is such a fright
i just want you to keep dancing beside me

I want you to keep dancing with me 3X
