Maybe We Might

Phnom Penh's anthem to love and living in the city performed here by Joshua Chiang and Scott Bywater on vocals and guitars, and me on cajon. The song, sung at the Alley Cat cafe's Sundowner sessions last Sunday (July 6), was a "surprise" masterminded by Chiang as a farewell song for Chino Nogales, who leaves today for Azerbaijan, after living in the city for more than 5 years. Chino is frontman of the city's well-loved latino rock band Bacano.  

Written by Jerby Santo, this  song was popularized by Jaworski 7, a mostly all-Filipino band formed in Phnom Penh in 2012. They disbanded as well in 2014 when Santo moved back to the Philippines.    

Phnom Penh is Missing You (cover)

Demo 22 Aug 15. Mealea and Mealai Sarawan - Vocals, Joe Wrigley - Vocals, guitars, bass, shaker, Om Ton - Tro, KCM Nayabinghi - drums

English Vocals:
Baby caught a train, covered in snow
Whistle went at dawn and away she go
Sure as the train wheels roll on the track
I know my baby ain't gonna come back

Azor, the rarest one
Made from fire of the sun
When fire melts the ice
Azor, again will rise

Khmer Vocals:
The river flows but never comes back 
Like you, it goes but never comes back
All day and night, it keeps going and never stops
I am waiting for you to come back to me

02 Lovers

I wanna walk down to Abbey Road 
With my hands tucked into my coat
And find a door, paint it black and blame it on Jack
'Cos I know he's not coming back

I wanna wake up to the summertime blues
And watch the sunset at Waterloo
And take a train down to Memphis in my blue suede shoes
'Cos Baby I've got nothing to lose.

On that lonely night
The sounds of yesterday took me by surprise
Oh I could blow my mind
And I'd rather burn out and not fade away
And I wanna be a hero just for a day
I wanna spend all my time in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame

I wanna clear the name of the Hurricane
'Cos I know he is not to blame
And take a plane to that place where the streets have no name
So I can hide from the poison rain

I wanna write my own redemption song
'Cos my list of sins is far too long
And save the world, bang a gong, ask, "What's going on?"
'Cos maybe we could all get along

On that starry night
Ziggy, Weird and Gilly played and it changed my life
I wanna leave it all behind
And I wanna remember what is it that Stephanie says
And the KKK can take my baby away
I wanna spend all my time in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame

I wanna walk down to Evermore
Where the Prince of Peace he fought that war
And stand tall, hear London call, God I want it all
'Cos I'm not another brick in wall

On that stormy night
The sounds of yesterday took me by surprise
Oh I could blow my mind
And I'd rather burn out and not fade away
And I wanna be a hero just for a day

On that starry night
Ziggy, Weird and Gilly played and it changed my life
I wanna leave it all behind
I wanna drive to the levee in my Chevrolet
And make love to Mrs Robinson and Maggie May
I wanna spend all my time in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame


I Wanna (Spend All My Time In The Rock 'n' Rock Hall Of Fame)

many ways to love a city

you wake me with your noises 
you test me with your habits
you hold me to your breast and say
never leave me, never leave 

you trust me with your secrets
you thrill me with your vividness
you shake me from my slumber and say
once again, once more 

many ways to love someone
many ways to love a city

you tempt me with your pleasures
you shock me with your carelessness
you fill my cup until it overflows,
overflows 

you drive me to distraction 
you disarm me with your promenades
you stand me in the rain and 
wash me clean, wash me clean 

many ways to love someone
many ways to love a city


Many Ways To Love A City
