Lyrics:
Snap, snap, snap a photo or two
Gotta tap, tap, tap that screen all day
Flap, flap, flap wings, crush that high score
What’s hap, hap, happening with my friends today

I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough

The world needs to know
That deep inside I'm all alone
Need that attention, sweet recognition
Or I'll die thinking and sinking with thoughts of my own

Chat, chat, chat, so much to say
Level up, up, up, achievement spree
Look at, at, at me now, popularity race
Cup, cup, cup, fancy art.. cup of coffee

So pristine, but just a preteen doesn’t even need caffeine

The world needs to know
That deep inside I’m all alone
Need that attention, sweet recognition
Or I’ll die thinking… I’m screaming
The world needs to know
That deep inside I’m all alone
Attention, recognition

Or I’ll die thinking and sinking in thoughts of my own
Pain in reflecting, and finding solutions to my
Problems, conundrum, mind in an asylum, gone numb
I’m just the sum of my smartphone and a wifi zone

The world needs to know
The world needs to know
The world needs to know
That deep inside I’m all alone
Need that attention, sweet recognition
Or I’ll die thinking and sinking with thoughts of my own
With thoughts of my own
Put down the phone

Sweet Recognition

Lyrics:
V1
She caught you red-handed
Stealing stares at her again
Were you surprised, oh were you surprised to find her eyes
Looking right back like a mirror reflection?
PC1
She came over to say
"Are you here to stay?"
"Cuz you're not gonna waste my time today"
You were taken aback
And said, "As a matter of fact,"
CH
My mind's not made up
But I get a rush
When our sights align
It's like our souls touch
We could have some fun
Not asking for much
And she says, "Well"
Come back when you know what you want
V2
She dropped you like a hot potato
Although her words were fatal, one more time you'll
Give it a go with a different approach
Jab, jab, sidestep, ooohh... Good try though


Come Back (Live)

This girl can really sing some jazz. 
Check out our quick cover of Ella Fitzgerald singing Imagination!

Imagination - Ella Fitzgerald (Cover by Li Yen Chong)

My first ever composed and recorded track. 
Just myself with a rusty old electric guitar, a ZOOM G1XN, a computer, and Sony Acid Pro. 

Draw (Instrumental)

I wanted to try something new, so here's a cover of something I'm not used to doing. Also, check out the link below to Khalid's commentary on the lyrics. Good stuff!

Location - Khalid (ohwell joel Cover)

Joel is a 22 year old aspiring musician and songwriter from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia currently in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

From learning the guitar at twelve and forming a high school alternative rock band at fourteen, to performing on the Contemporary Music Center Holotour in the Fall of 2014, Joel desires to continuously bring his music to the next level.

Everyone has a story and wants to be heard. Sometimes, it can be difficult to express yourself through merely speaking words, but when you put a melody to the words and music behind it, a message that transcends intelligently arranged alphabets speaks up. That’s what Joel is interested in: singing the unsung lyrics and playing the unwritten tunes.

He enjoys listening to and is influenced by an array of bands: Switchfoot, Mutemath, Paramore, John Mayer, Panic! at the Disco and Colony House.
