Empty Space - James Arthur (Luwirap Covers)

Lyircs:
Just like the wind, 
I've always been
Drifting high up in the sky that never ends
Through thick and thin, 
I always win
'Cause I would fight both life and death to save a friend

I face my destiny every day I live
And the best in me is all I have to give

Just like the sun (Just like the sun)
When my day's done
Sometimes I don't like the person I've become
Is the enemy within a thousand men?
Should I walk the path if my world's so dead ahead?

Is someone testing me every day I live?
Well, the best in me is all I have to give

I can pretend (I can pretend)
I am the wind (I am the wind)
And I don't know if I will pass this way again
All things must end
Goodbye, my friend
Think of me when you see the sun or feel the wind

I am the wind, 
I am the sun
And one day we'll all be one

I am the wind, 
I am the sun
And one day we'll all be one

I am the wind, 
I am the sun
And one day we'll all be one

I am the wind, 
I am the sun
One day we'll all be one...

I Am The Wind - Castlevania Symphony of The Night (Luwirap Covers)

I re-uploaded a new version of my original song I posted 3 years ago called Hindi Sinasadya. This time with better audio recording and quality. I got to learn some new tricks in Audacity this time.  I wrote this song with one person in mind. I met this person at a bar before new year of 2010. We celebrated new year together and after a week of dating, I was ghosted. So read between the lines...

Lyrics: Hindi Sinasadya

Malinaw pa sa aking alaala
Kung paano tayo unang nag kita.
Pagkakataon na sa buhay ay
Nag hahanap ng makakasama.

Mga mata'y nangungusap na, "Masaya akong ikaw ay nakilala."
Ngunit bakit ngayon ako'y humihiling na sana...

Kalimutan mo na tayo'y nagkakilala.
Hindi na mahalaga ang bawat sandaling nakasama.
Gayon pa man ay minahal na kita ng 'di sinasadya.
Minahal na nga kita ng 'di sinasadya.

Kung ibabalik ko ba ang nakalipas,
Ikaw ang lalapit at ako ang iiwas?
Malalaman mo ba ang aking pangalan
At ako naman ang mag aalinlangan?

Mga ngiti at tawa mong mula noo'y nagbibigay pag-asa.
Ngunit bakit ang tanging hiling ko nalang ay sana...

Hindi na pinangarap pang maging parte ng buhay mo.
Kung may halaga ako sa iyo'y hindi na ako iiyak ng ganito.

English Translation:
I Didn't Mean To

It is still clear in my vivid memory
How we met each other for the first time
It was the time when I was looking for
Somebody to spend my lonely life with.

Our eyes met as if saying, "Hey, I'm happy to be able to know you."
But now why is it all I ever wanted is for you to...

For you to forget that we have ever met.
It's not important how long the time we have spent.
But then again I have loved you and I didn't mean this to happen.
I have loved you but I didn't mean this to happen...

If I ever be able to bring back the past,
Will you introduce yourself and I will be shy?
Will I be able to know my name 
And I will be the one who would think twice?

Your smiles and laughter has always been giving me hope.
But right now all I wish is that for you to...

I never really wished for me to be part of your life.
Because if I really mean something to you,
Then I wouldn't be crying like this...

Sounds of a Broken Heart

Hindi Sinasadya - Remastered (Luwirap Originals)

Lyrics: To Where You Are

Spring and summer 
Autumn and winter 
Just like a change in weather. 
Your Smiles and Laughter 
Those Reflection in the mirror 
Everyday seems so fine and better

The promise you have made remains in my heart. 
And nothing will change even if we're worlds apart.

If I had wings I'll fly to where you are 
Just to remind me everything's okay.
But then again I'll stay here 
and wait for you to come back. 
For you to come back home.
	
It's scary out there but I'm alright, 
Knowing that you are by my side. 
When you are with me, I feel stronger 
And there is nothing left to hide

I figured it out from the very start 
That even if you're far away 
Nothing will keep us apart
	
All my life I've waited for 
Someone who will stay with me forever... Forever. 
But how I wish that even if 
You're always far away from me
I'll be fine... You'll be fine.

To Where You Are (Luwirap Originals)

For this song's 7th year anniversary, I re-uploaded a new and better version. This song was an entry for Himig Handog last June 2012. It didn't made the cut, so I uploaded it instead. This song was dedicated to my non existent, future child... If ever I would have any actually.  

Lyrics: Remember
Music and Words by: Luwirap

Hold my hand my dear 
I see the fear in your eyes 
I will hold you close in my arms 
Even the sun don't rise 

Even heroes have the right to bleed 
And angels have their way to weep 
But remember, remember I am here... 

People come and go in your life 
But I am here to stay. 
Do what makes you happier 
And I won't get on your way.
Remember, remember... 

Seven billion people out there 
Searching for the one. 
Even more are waiting for 
The right one to come. 

Even hardest rock turns into dust 
And tallest walls are tend to collapse 
But remember, remember I'm here... 

People come and go in your life 
But I am here to stay. 
I will make you happier 
Even more and more each day. 
Remember, remember...

Days go longer, Sun is brighter,
Every cloud and the blur is getting clearer and clearer
When I'm with you...

Remember - Remastered(Luwirap Originals)

Lyrics: I Used to Care
By: Louie Ralph

Every breath is a war 
And I don't think that I am winning 
anymore....

I'm tired of acting strong.
It only comes back and take away
Everything I've ever known.

Who would want to be alone?
But I forgot what feeling happy
Really feels like anymore

Hard times will reveal who your true friends are
But others just don't care about how 
Deep is your scar...

Chorus:
I'm tired of proving that my life
Is worth a little something but,
I try my best to smile and lie
Because I have to...

I'm turning my back not because
I wanted to forget it but,
Because I'm tired of being reminded 
How much I used to care.

Lost inside in my mind.
Worlds are starting to collide.
Surrounded yet they wouldn't understand.

These scars that tell the story Of where I've been,
And I wont let it tell me where
I should be going.

Bridge:
Every thought is a battle uncontrolled, 
Don't mind me, I'm just tired of being told. 

Every breath is a war 
And I don't think that I am winning 
anymore...

I Used to Care (Luwirap Originals)

Another entry I did for Himig Handog Ppop Love Song for the year 2014... As usual, it didn't make it in the top choices. But it's okay. These are the rare cases I able to compose Tagalog song.  Support OPM!

Lyrics: Ngayon
By: Luwirap Originals

Paano nga ba makakausad
Kung bawat araw na lumilipas
Ay pagsisisihan, panghihinayangan
Mga pangyayaring hindi maiiwasan

Balang araw ay maliliwanagan
Na ang nakalipas ay hindi na mababalikan
Hihiling sa langit ng konting oras
Upang sulitin ang... Ngayon.

Chorus:
Alaala ng kahapon ay ibaon na natin ngayon,
Kay dami pa nating dapat ipag pasalamat
Mag sabi ng katotohanan at umibig ng tapat.
Ang mahalaga ay kasama kita ngayon.
Kasama kita ngayon.

Paano nga ba maiiwasan
Makaramdam ng kalunkutan
Kung sa bawat pag ikot, napupuno ka ng takot
Ang pangamba'y baka ako'y makalimot

Sa sinumpaang pagmamahalang
Walang sino man ang makahahadlang
Tumingin ka lamang sa paroroonan
Ako'y makakasama mo... Ngayon.

Bridge:
Sa bawat luhang iyong pinatak
Sa bawat pangarap na 'di mo natupad
Tumayo ka at humarap,
Pulutin ang bawat pirasong nabasag.
Malupit man ang mundo, sa isang kagaya mo
Nandito lang ako, makakasama mo.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Lyrics: Right Now
By: Luwirap Originals

How will I ever move on
If everyday that passes
is all regrets, all remorse
Situations out of our control

Someday we will realize
That we can never bring back the past.
Wishing in the skies for a little time
to cherish the moment we call: right now.

Chorus:
Bury the memories of the past right now.
There are so much we could be thankful for.
Love deeper and faithfully, do not tell lies anymore.
The important thing is you are with me right now.
You are with me right now.

Now tell me how can you avoid
Feeling the loneliness from this void,
If fear creeps in every inch of your being?
Please tell me how could you stop worrying

About forgetting the promise I have made
of loving you until the very end.
Look at the horizon, our destination
I will be here with you right now.

Bridge:
In every teardrops that your eyes fall,
In every broken dreams that started to crumble
Stand up, a new morning rises.
Start to pick up those shattered pieces.
It is a cruel world out there for someone such as like you,
But know that I'm here for you,  right here with you, 
Right now.

Ngayon (Luwirap Originals)

This was one of the earliest songs I have written. It has undergone many iterations and revisions before it comes to this. The interesting part of this song is that, the melody came to me in a dream. I woke up crying and humming this tune. This song was actually the reason why I taught myself to learn basic guitar stuff... the only reason why is because I wanted to put music on this song that has been ringing in my head for so long. Now that I have the final output, I'm happy.

I Will Never was never the first title of this song. It used to be "Insert Name Here" I know... because the old chorus has this "This song ends in your name" line in there... And back then I thought that was smart to title it that. HAHA! Boy, I was so naive! HAHA!

Anyway, just for fun, I included the old chorus as a background voice at the end... Enjoy!

Lyrics: I Will Never
By: Luwirap Originals

In the past I believe
That happiness never exists
In this world full of hurt
But when I look in your eyes
Emotions keep on flying high
And now that I see

The way you hold me
The way you say my name
The way you make me feel

Chorus:
I will never, I will never, I will never
Let it go, let it go.
I will never, I will never, I will never
Let it go, let it go.

I've been searching far and wide
For the meaning of my life
Until I see you
You make me feel that I belong
When I'm with you I feel so strong
Hoping that these were real

If everything is wrong then
I don't wanted to be right.
Because I believe in you
And everything feels right

Bridge:
You can leave me
For someone who could give
More than anything that I can offer
But I will stay here
And I will never leave
Until you see that I'm still here
Waiting for you.

(Old Chorus:
This song ends with your name
Hoping to wipe those tears away
Your smile makes me feel like home
And I will never...)

I Will Never (Luwirap Originals)

Lyrics: Pag-Amin
By: Luwirap

Sa una pa lamang
Ng aking nararamdaman
Isip ay lubhang naguhuluhan

Wag sanang lumipas ang araw
At mapawi ang mga salitang
Nag pupumilit masabi
Isang pag amin na di na mababawi mula sayo.

Kung ang damdamin ay mag babago
Dala ng ihip ng hangin
At ang puso ay matatangay
Sabay sa pag agos na walang tigil,

Sabihin mo kung may mag babago
Kung aaminin ko sayong....

Kung hindi mo ito malalaman,
At dalhin ko ito hanggang kamatayan,
Wala nga ba sa'tin ang masasaktan?

Kung ikaw ay ako, kakayanin bang pigilan
Ang sidhi ng damdaming di na malalabanan?
Isang pag amin ng kaibigan mong
Laging nandyan para sa'yo...

Kung ang damdamin ay mag babago
Dala ng ihip ng hangin
At ang puso ay matatangay
Sabay sa pag agos na walang tigil

Sabihin mo kung may mag babago
Kung aaminin ko sayong...

Mahal kita?
Mahal kita...

Kung ang damdamin ay mag babago
Dala ng ihip ng hangin
At ang puso ay matatangay
Sabay sa pag agos na walang tigil,

Sabihin mo kung may mag babago
Kung aaminin ko sayong...
Mahal kita?

Lyrics: Confession
By: Luwirap

In the beginning
of when I started this feeling
confusion is the only thing that it brings.

I hope these days won't pass by without me saying 
the words I've been meaning to say, I think I'm dying
to say this confession that I know I will never be able 
to take back from you.

If only this feeling would change its course 
with every time the wind blows.
And my heart will go where the current flows
To a direction nobody knows...

Tell me if everything will change
if I decided to tell you that....

If you wont ever notice,
I'll keep things hidden, bring it to my grave,
Both of us wont get hurt, right?

If you are me, tell me, can you resist it,
fight the fire within that is trying to escape?
A confession from someone
you always consider as a friend...

If only this feeling would change its course 
with every time the wind blows.
And my heart will go where the current flows
To a direction nobody knows...

Tell me if everything will change
if I decided to tell you that....

I love you?
I love you...

If only this feeling would change its course 
with every time the wind blows.
And my heart will go where the current flows
To a direction nobody knows...

Tell me if everything will change
if I decided to tell you that....
I love you.

Pag-amin (Luwirap Originals)

I have a new favorite Idol group and it so happen that it's 100% Filipino! This is one of their upcoming single called Hanggang Sa Huli that is taking the rounds in social media for being sooooo amazing!

Lyrics: Hanggang Sa Huli
Original by: SB19
Covered by: Luwirap

S'aking puso'y nag-iisa
Mayroong himig na
Kumakatok sa pinto ng aking ala-ala
'Di na dapat tumitig pa sa'yong mga mata
Ngayon, ikaw na lang ang nakikita

Ang ala-ala ko'y 'di nagbago
Sa panaginip ko ay naroon ka

At kahit pa ang mundo ay mag-iba
Ako'y laging nandito
'Di man ako para sa 'yo
Puso'y hindi magbabago
Walang iba, walang iba
Wala nang hahanapin pa
Pag-ibig ko'y sayo
Sa iyo hanggang sa huli

Siguro ngay nararapat na ika'y limutin na
Pag-ibig ko'y isang hangin na 'di mo madarama
'Di na dapat tumitig pa sa 'yong mga mata
'Pagkat ikaw pa rin ang nakikita

Tanging pag-asa ko'y biglang naglaho
Ngunit pag-ibig ko'y di nawala

Kung pinagtagpo tayong dal'wa'y para sa isa't isa
kung nasabi ko ba ang lahat noon ay may magbabago ba?
Sa aking bawat paghinga, dalangin ay makapiling ka
At kung ito na ang huli, nais kong malaman mo na

Mahal kita
Mahal kita
Mahal kita

Walang iba, walang iba
Wala nang hahanapin pa
Pag-ibig ko'y sa 'yo
Sa iyo hanggang sa huli
