Re-wrote a chord progression I've had with me for a while! Inspired by....a crush.

Maybe im trying to hide them
Maybe i'm still afraid of feelings going
All over. Twisting my nerves and

Maybe im overthinking
Cause im still hoping you'd notice me
Hi hello, what are you doing to me

I don't want you know
So maybe i'll just whisper it before I say a name 
here I go

I want to hold your hand
I wanna tell you goodnight not just in my head, oh what a rush
I want to leave notes in your car
I want to get rid of this make-believe
That's too real, oh golly, I hope it's just a crush

Maybe i'm trying tell you
Maybe i'm dropping hints, i need to stop it
But hey what's this, are you looking this way and

Maybe i'm getting obvious
But hey I'm saying it through this song
Go figure it out, this is what you're doing to me

Everybody knows (I think)
I'll close my eyes and not think of your name
Your face appears, my heart goes

I want to hold your hand
I wanna tell you goodnight not just in my head, oh what a rush
I want to leave notes in your car
I want to get rid of this make-believe
That's too real, oh golly, I hope it's just

A crush
So many complications it entails
Ignore it, it just grows into a bigger scale
Fine, I have a crush...on you

Maybe (it's a crush)

Homework for AMP! <3 

(I'd probably record this again to give it some quality =)) BUT YEY I FINALLY MADE A COVER WHOOHOOH)

Thinking of You (cover)


I finally remembered to upload this!!!

This is the very first recording of this song, hence my awkwardness (you can hear it, I swear)

This is song, contrary to popular belief, is not about friendzone-ing anyone!!! It's actually about that mutual understanding that you really are just friends with someone, and it's great the way it is. This song was inspired from my curious feelings for people I've encountered the past year, I love you guys, in a friend kind of way. (I also miss you lots)

It is also inspired by Yumi Sakugawa's comic, I  Think I Am In-Friend-Love With You (http://www.yumisakugawa.com/post/36749463370/i-think-i-am-in-friend-love-with-you-excerpt)

So, here it is! I better recorded version of Friend Love. :)

Much thanks to Andrew for playing for me! (u r gr8)

Vocals: Reese Sta. Maria
Guitar: Andrew De Pano

Lyrics:
We've been saying hi
but I hold back my hello's
Thinking of buttercups
Attention span cannot be shorter

You smile all the time
but bring out mellow tones
Makes me want to sit with you
and maybe try to talk for longer

I can't imagine, though
the thought of you and me
looks wrong, out of place
no, there's no fantasy

Cause I think

I'm in-friend-love with you
no holding hands
no dates on weekends, too (nuh-uh)
I'm in-friend-love with you,
your jokes, your sweet kind words
I'm not confused, I'm sure

Knowing glances mean,
I know just what you feel
minus all the cheesy stuff
that gross us out
no, we don't need that

I'll be here for you
and you'll be here for me
I'll call you out, you'll do the same
and then hang out - I'll share my cookies

You can't imagine, too
the thought of you and me
oh no, I really can't
no, really, no fantasy

Cause I think

I'm in-friend-love with you
no holding hands
no dates on weekends, too (nuh-uh)
I'm in-friend-love with you,
your jokes, your sweet kind words
I'm not confused, I'm sure

And when the day comes
that the friend part disappears....

I'm just kidding, that's never gonna happen
hahahahaha...........*let's talk about something else now*

Cause I think

I'm in-friend-love with you
no holding hands
no dates on weekends, too (nuh-uh)
I'm in-friend-love with you,
your jokes, your sweet kind words
I'm not confused, I'm sure

Friend Love (ft. Andrew de Pano)

In a desperate attempt to end my music-drought, I've decided to make a few (a lot) of crappy and sucky acapella covers. The goal is really just to familiarize myself with recording tools again, and finally learn how to harmonize properly.

Technically this track is my 2nd recording, but it's the first song I tried to work with.

Chakapella's are finished in about 2-3 takes per voice track, with no regards to the amount of background noise. Haha!

Let this be the beginning of progress.
Gracias chicas!

Chakapella #1: Make You Feel My Love (A Cover)

Aaaaand we have Chakapella #2! This time it's a (really really..omg as in 5 whole steps) lower version of Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive! It's my go-to song on the karaoke, and I've had this song stuck in my head for quite a while.


Once again, enjoy!

Chakapella #2: I Will Survive (A Cover)

After months of barely making it through the week, another Chakapella is here!!
