One of my very first original songs. Enjoy!

“This is Love”
Words and Music by:
John Sosmena
Verse 1
I wanna look into the sunrise, and see you hand in mine
I wanna look into the sky when the emotions start to fly
‘Cause this may be a dream, a vision unforeseen
But reality is just around the corner
Refrain
And when we touch, we tremble in fear
Not knowing where love would bring us, far or near
‘Cause baby, ooh baby, I can’t help but say, but say
Chorus
This is love, this is where I want to be
This is love, infinite possibilities when
You and me come together for now and forever
‘Cause you, and me, we’ll make the perfect couple in perfect harmony

Verse 2
(Now) jealousy is one thing
(And) fighting is cliche
(But) baby broken-hearted man is something we don’t understand
(A/the) restless heart for hours, beating like its gone bad
Knowing he just lost it all, it’s frightening, it’s sad
Refrain 2
‘Cause when you touch my hand, I tremble in fear
But knowing you’ll love me, even though I’m wrong
It makes me shout and sing, shout and sing
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
And I’m biting lips, twisting my tongue
‘Cause all the things I wanna say aren’t comin’ out
But when see you face
And when you make that smile
I am reminded
I wanna shout at the top of my lungs (that)

Christmas Lane (Original;Rough)

Another one of my Original songs for this Christmas. 

Lyrics: 

"A Happy Christmas Eve"

Words and Music by John Sosmena

V:
Here, we stay, wrapped around the fingers of the flame
You and me, kissing in the moonlight under the Christmas tree
Emotions rise, and soon enough our lips collide in sweet serenity

PC:
I can feel the season’s touch wrapped around my soul
Keeping me warm, keeping me in peace
And the girl I don’t deserve
Is here, beside me

C:
It’s a happy Christmas eve, a joyful celebration with the family
The season of the year when we all shed some tears and feel complete
[C2:] A happy Christmas eve, the wonders of the memories we keep
(Oh it’s) A happy Christmas eve for me

V2:
Romantic candlelights, swimming in the heart of all emotions
Angels in the snow,  I can see the rainbow as you come and go

PC2:
I hate to see you leave so soon, my dear
Promise this, ‘cause I will miss you warm embrace



P.S. Kudos to Marika Desembrana for the second verse!

A Happy Christmas Eve. (An original)

A BETTER VERSION OF THIS CRAPPY-O RECORDING TO FOLLOW VERY SOON! :-)

"Believe"

Music and Lyrics by John Sosmena

Many time's I've failed the same old thing
And it's not easy to accept
And most of the times, I'm drawing all these line of insecurity
And I want to say it's all my fault

That if I try harder, push stronger
I'd reach the point of no return
And I'll keep fighting, keep trying to keep the fire burning
For us, dear. For us, dear

'Cause I believe, we'll make it through the storm
I believe this love will carry on
I believe, I believe
I believe that you and I hold on

Our differences collide and we get stuck in the crossfire of our feelings
Our thoughts and emotions the create conclusions but don't solve problems

I can hardly breathe when I hear the sound of you laughter
It echoes across the room and stops my hearbeat

My feelings they grow stronger each day I see you face
My body trembles each time you embrace me
My heart it keeps on shouting please don't leave me alone
My soul it years to be with you

Believe (Prototype)

A very rough recording of my latest composition. Note: All of my original songs will definitely be re-recorded once the EP is good to go, so don't be shy to comment and criticize if you need to! I would love hearing from my supporters! :)

Simple. This song talks about decision. Can we make that crucial decision to tell the people we care about that we like them, or should we wait?

I hope you all enjoy!

Should I wait?
Words and Music by John Sosmena

If I could turn back time, would I make my move too soon?
If I don't stop this feeling, would I risk the hurt and pain?

But maybe I'd like to try, maybe I'd like to see what happens
When I say the words I've been holding up for months on end

Should I wait until tomorrow? Wait 'til the sky grows dark?
Should I wait until you finally understand? You might be the one.

The feelings built up inside
The scars and shadows left behind
From walking in the dark
And hiding in the corners

Will I find the strength to say the words I've been holding up for months on end

Should I wait until I see it
'Til I see the smile I've wo
Should I wait until I finally realize
You are the one

Should I Wait? (Unlisted)

A late night, 20-minute song, in honor of John Green's wonderful book: "Looking for Alaska"

I hope you enjoy!

Alaska

Words and Music by John  Sosmena

Alaska

I've hung my chest, far from home
I've walked in circles, chasing the shadows of old
My heads bowed down, in the sight of perfection
I see you, in all your shame, your guilt, and your glory

And I can't find the strength to stand
Or fight for what I feel is right
Just that one night in your bedroom
We kissed, we felt each other
And I knew that it was over

Did I see it all before? Was it truly all my fault
To see you drive so fast and watch you fade away?
Alaska, I wanted you to stay

Do you remember all those time when we slipped past the Eagle?
Remember the words- all those words you said?
Will you tell me that you missed me from the grave
Will I tell myself it's over when I clearly want to hear you say

I love you. I wanted you more. I yearn for you- for so much more
I remember we walked, we talked
we talked, we danced, we touched,
we danced we touched to the avenue of grace

Did I see it all before? Was it truly all my fault
To see you drive so fast and watch you fade away?
Did it hurt when you forgot?
Was it as painful as the crash, or so much more?
Alaska, stay in my heart
Alaska, bring me out of the dark
Alaska, will you stay in my heart
Always
Always
Always
Always
Will you stay in my heart always
