SOUNDCLOUD CRUSH
Music and Lyrics: Jerome Cleofas
Female Vocals: Angel Luz Biando

Nang una kong mapakinggan ang himig mo ang sabi sa sarili ko
Teka lang, sino to? Ang swabe lang tumatagos sa puso ko
Kaya mula noon ay sinusundan na kita
Kinikilig sa tuwing naririnig ang yong mga likha

Soundcloud crush kita
Hindi mo ba ito nadarama
Sa tuwing naririnig kitang kumanta
Ang feeling ko ako'y nasa langit na
Soundcloudcrush kita
Ang tinig mo'ng kumumpleto sa araw ko
Ang boses mo ang susi sa'king puso
Ikaw ang soundcloud crush ko

Umaga pa lang andiyan na ako
Online agad chinecheck ko ang account ko
Titingnan lang ang messages ko
O baka naman nagreply ka na sa comment ko
Sa himpapawid maraming ulap kasama na ikaw ako
Kaylan kaya ako hihipan ng hangin patungo sayo

Soundcloud crush kita
Hindi mo ba ito nadarama
Sa tuwing naririnig kitang kumanta
Ang feeling ko ako'y nasa langit na
Soundcloudcrush kita
Ang tinig mo'ng kumumpleto sa araw ko
Ang boses mo ang susi sa'king puso
Ikaw ang soundcloud crush ko

(A) Nakuha mo'ko sa awit kaya aawitan din kita
(J) Oh wag ka sanang magalit, ito'y simple lang namang paghanga
(J) sa bawat pagrepost at bawat pagpindot ng maliit na puso sa ilalim ng yong mp3 file
(A) Sa bawat comment mo kinikilig ako baka lang sakaling nabisita mo ang aking profile
(J) At sana'y narinig mo ang mga himig kong bigay na bigay
(A) Para lang iyong mapansin
Kaya like lang ng like lang ng liiiike...
PAG MAY TIIIIME!

SoundCloud Crush (Music and Lyrics by Jerome Cleofas) [feat Angel Shao Biando]

Sometimes, we find ourselves in a loving but frustrating relationship with another person: an overprotective parent or relative, a controlling partner or spouse, a dominating colleague or boss, an abusive friend. While it is true that we love and are loved back, at times in the expression of this love, we lose who we are in the process. We let these people we love steer the direction of our lives or even change the way we define ourselves.

Later on we realize, that it shouldn't be our social ties that define who we are. And that at the end of the day, our being and becoming is completely in our hands.

I wrote this song more than 5 years ago (so forgive me if walang rhyme yung iba hahaha). I don't recall why I wrote it. But it sure was very empowering when I did.

I'M ENOUGH
Music and Lyrics by: Jerome Cleofas

Well, I've been singing the same lines
Over and over again
And I'm tired of trying to follow
Your footsteps 'cause I know that I
Can and I will make it alone
I've got my own meaning of being strong

'Cause I'm enough, to be complete
I don't need someone beside me just to tell me how to be me
'Cause I'm enough and I believe
I can change my own destiny
And I can reach my dreams as long as I am me

Now I've opened my eyes
Now I've seen the light
And I'm never going back again
I've broken my walls
I've taken my step
Yes I'm leaving you now

'Cause I'm enough, to be complete
I don't need someone beside me just to tell me how to be me
'Cause I'm enough and I believe
I can change my own destiny
And I can reach my dreams as long as I am me

Now look at me I know you see someone different from want you want me to be
But can't you see that this is what i wanna be, I'm my best when I am free
So don't change the way, I am
I've got my own visions and I've got a better plan

'Cause I'm enough, to be complete
I don't need someone beside me just to tell me how to be me
'Cause I'm enough and I believe
I can change my own destiny
And I can reach my dreams as long as I am me

I'm Enough [Music and Lyrics by Jerome Cleofas]

This song is dedicated to all who love us despite our imperfections.


TAMA
Music and Lyrics by Jerome Cleofas
Copyright 2014

Nagsimula ako’ng may lamat ang pagkatao
Mula sa lahat ng aking nasugatang puso
Laging nabibigo
Pag-asa’y natutuyo
Salat sa pag-ibig nang nadatnan mo ako

Sa’king mundong nababalot sa kadiliman
Tanging liwanag lang ang ‘yong natagpuan
Sabi ko ayoko na
Ngunit ba’t andyan ka pa
Tinitiis ang gabing aking dala

Dahil sa iyo nalaman kong maaari akong magmahal
At mahalin

Sa kabila ng aking paghihirap at pagkakasala
Sa huli nalaman kong ako ay pinagpala
Sa tuwing nasisiliyan ko’ng payapa mong mukha
Batid kong sa buhay ko, may nagawa akong tama

Sa’king pagkadapa ako’y ‘yong tinulungan
Sa bawat kong hakbang ako’y inalalayan
Sabi ko pabigat na ‘ko
Hayaan mo na lang ako
Ngunit ngingiti ka lang at hahagkan mo ako

Sa kabila ng aking paghihirap at pagkakasala
Sa huli nalaman kong ako ay pinagpala
Sa tuwing nasisiliyan ko’ng payapa mong mukha
Batid kong sa buhay ko, may nagawa akong tama

At sa aking mundo, maraming pintong nagsarado
Marami na sila na iniiwanan na ako
Ngunit sa piling mo, ako’y nakukumpleto
Sa tuwing tititigan mo ako at sasabihin mong

Sa kabila ng ating paghihirap at pagkabahala
Sa huli alam ko na tayo ay pinagpala
Sa isang mundong puro mali ang nakikita
Alam ko na sa iyo, natagpuan ko ang tama

Batid kong sa buhay ko, may nagawa akong tama


Tama       [Music and Lyrics by Jerome Cleofas] #SCPhils

Tagasalo

Bakit tuwing inaaya kita
Nauuwi lagi sa susunod na
Linggo o buwan o kung kailan mang
Araw na wala kang ginagawa
Lagi na lang pinagbibigyan 
Pumapayag na lang sa mga dahilan 
Kahit minsan wala naman katuturan 
Ano bang magagawa?

'Pag wala ka ng ibang mahanap 
Na tao/bagay na magpapasaya sa 'yo
Ako yung tipong kay daling mahatak 
Bubulong ka lang nandyan na agad ako
Taga handog ng mga libreng yakap
At may kanta para sa bawat eksena mo
Sandalan lagi ang mga balikat 
At mga luha mo, akong tagasalo

Sino kayang sisihin nila
Yung bang taong manhid
Walang nadarama
O yung batang paslit
Na umaasa pa
Na may pwede pang magawa
Sino kaya ang naging biktima 
Siya bang nalulungkot at nagdadrama
O siya bang nagbigay ng lahat sa kanya
Ngunit wala namang nagawa

'Pag wala ka ng ibang mahanap 
Na tao/bagay na magpapasaya sa 'yo
Ako yung tipong kay daling mahatak 
Bubulong ka lang nandyan na agad ako
Taga handog ng mga libreng yakap
At may kanta para sa bawat eksena mo
Sandalan lagi ang mga balikat 
At mga luha mo, akong tagasalo

Tagasalo (Acoustic)

This is a song I wrote about my spiritual journey during my Elements 2014 audition. We all go through powerlessness and hopelessness not realizing that all that we need is God's love inside of us. During that period of stressful self-doubt, God proved how my miniature view of myself will is nothing compared to His big plans for me. 

BAKIT AKO MAG-AALINLANGAN?
Music and Lyrics by Jerome Cleofas

Minsan ay naiisip ko na tao lang ako
Na marupok nadarapa't nagkakamali sa'Yo
Panginoon, nalilimutan ko
Na mayroon akong halaga sa mata Mo
Ngunit minsa'y nabubulag ako

Sa tuwing may pagsubok at unos sa buhay ko
At sa t'wing bumibitaw ang tiwala ko sa'Yo
Panginoon, pinatutunayan mo
Na walang imposible basta ito ang hangad mo
Kaya ako'y tumatayo sa'Yo

CHORUS:
Bakit ako mag-aalinlangan?
Kung ang pag-ibig Mo ang aking tangan
At ang pagpapala Mo'y 'di kailan man magkukulang
Mananalig ako at 'di mag-aalinlangan

Kapag may harang sa daan na tatahakin ko
At pag di natutupad ang pinapangarap ko
Panginoon, ipinapangako Mo
Na tutupdin Mo ang lahat sa tamang panahon
Sa oras na nalulugod Sa'yo

CHORUS:
Bakit ako mag-aalinlangan?
Kung ang pag-ibig Mo ang aking tangan
At ang pagpapala Mo'y 'di kailan man magkukulang
Mananalig ako at 'di mag-aalinlangan

Bakit mababahala?
Kung puspos ang biyaya
At wala Kang pagsubog na ibibigay na 'di ko makakaya
Kaya lahat ay iaalay ko na

CHORUS:
Bakit ako mag-aalinlangan?
Kung ang pag-ibig Mo ang aking tangan
At ang pagpapala Mo'y 'di kailan man magkukulang
Mananalig ako at 'di mag-aalinlangan

Bakit mababahala?
Kung puspos ang biyaya

Mananalig ako at 'di mag-aalinlangan

KAHEL AT BUGHAW
Music and Lyrics by JEROME CLEOFAS
Copyright 2015

Ang taglay niyang kulay ay bughaw
At sa kakisigan niya ako’y napukaw
Ako nama’y kahel na marikit, isang baluktot na yagit
Na hindi maituwid kahit ano’ng ipilit

Musmos pa lang nang kami’y magkalaro
At sa mga kalaba’y ‘di sumuko
At kahit na ako’y sinasaktan, dahil ‘di pangkaraniwan
Sabi ni bughaw ako ay kaibigan, at siya ang aking pananggalang

At mula noo’y ibinigay ang puso ko
Sa isang pangarap na hindi magkakatotoo
Dahil ako’y isang kahel na ligaw
Na umiibig sa isang bughaw

At noong kami’y magbinata
Sa aki’y meron siyang pinakilala
Isang babaeng marikit, na maganda at mabait
Kaya si bughaw kay pula naakit

At sa altar siya’y naghintay
Sa babaeng aalayan niya ng buhay
Ako nama’y naro’n lang sa tabi, nakangiti kahit masakit
Ngunit ang makita siya na maligaya, ay sapat na upang ako ay sumaya

Dahil sa kanya pa rin tumitibok ang puso ko
Siya ang tanging pangarap kong hindi nagkatotoo
Ngayon ako’y isang kahel na uhaw
Na umiibig sa isang bughaw

At ang mga tao’y lumipas na
Siya ay nagkamilya at ako’y tumandang mag isa at

Sa huling hibla ng aking buhay
Si bughaw sa aki’y naka akay
Sabi niya kahel kong marikit, sa palad mo nakaguhit
Ang pangakong ako ang ‘yong kaibigan, nandito lang ako kailan pa man

At hindi ko man ibinigay ang puso ko
Sabay naman nating tinupad ang mga pangarap mo
Salamat kahel at hindi ka bumitaw
Salamat, nagmamahal, bughaw

Kahel at Bughaw [Music and Lyrics by Jerome Cleofas]

Coffee has a weird effect on me. Even just a small amount makes me crazy. This is a result of that.  I hope you guys like it!

Puyat Sa Tulog (demo)

wrote a little something that shows how i feel every 3 am in the morning
thank god i'm alive


might never be as strong as I seem
might never be the light you would need
I'll never be the blood you would bleed
but I can be your constant star, maybe?

when you fall through the depths of the night
and the shadows above you are all you could find
I am lost but I'll keep you in sight
look up and see the view
oh in the dark you'll find the truth

my constant star will be with you

Thank you for stopping by.

happy 16th bday

GAZE AT YOUR EYES
music and lyrics by: Jerome Cleofas

I see your eyes, they're empty
It's been a while, since you've been happy
When did you learn to put yourself 
At the back of the line
But here I am, I'm glad to meet you
Pulled by unusual force, I'm bound to free you
From the sadness you took, and you kept and that held you 
For the longest time

Won't you stay for one more night

CHORUS 1:
Let me gaze at your eyes
See the hurt that's inside and
Take them away from you
I wanna teach you to fly
Tell me when was the last time
Someone took care of you
It's about time that you do
Let me love you

You see the world around you
And all the pain that it bore you
And all those disapproving looks that it gave you
When you fell for me

Would you give in to sanity
Or a life without me
Oh the choices you make will dictate
What the rest of our lives will be

Will you be away from me?

CHORUS 1:
Let me gaze at your eyes
See the hurt that's inside and
Take them away from you
I wanna teach you to fly
Tell me when was the last time
Someone took care of you
It's about time that you do
Let me love you

One step behind you fall everytime
Until you get passed outside my door
If soon I will be, a speck of your memory
Tell me what else am I here for?

But God knows I did my best
And if I leave, no I don't love you less
'Cause in my sky in my night, you're the star
I just chose to love you from afar

CHORUS 2:
So let me gaze at your eyes for one final time
Until I'm taken away from you
Though apart we will fly
Just believe everytime
I'll always take care of you

So let me gaze at your eyes
Before I give my heart away
I wanna see you when you fly
Oh, yeah. I'll always love you..
