Hi guyyyysss!! It's been a while! How are y'all??? I honestly struggled with editing this song since i've readjusted to a new job, then combine that with an overall pandemic stress/frustration. 

Hope you guys enjoy this! Promise i'll do better in the next ones :) 


Lyrics:

On the day we met
I didn't know it yet
Who you're gonna be
that you'd light a fire in me
and you've set me free
with just the way
you look at me

You understood the way
I communicate
I didn't need to say
or over-complicate
'cause you did see me
Exactly how I want to be

And I'll remember
I won't regret
The times we've spent
The love we've made
just between
A language just between
You and me

You always seem to know
there's things I couldn't show
and when I fake my strength
You always see through it
'cause you know just
how it feels
To live behind a wall of fear

And I'll remember
I won't regret
The times we've spent
The love we've made
just between
A language just between

Those summer nights
The stars in the sky
They guide us through
From stories to songs
the inside jokes
only us will know
'cause we understood
The strings that tie us two

And I'll remember
I won't regret
All the times 
that we've spent
and the love we've made
just between
A language just between
You and me
You and me

Our Language

After more than a year... I'm back with a new song! Life got busy, re-adjusted to the "new normal" and had to re-learn production and mixing, a bit rusty but we're gonna work this out.

This is about a daydream of being able to re-live your childhood if you were as free, and confident as you were today. Being able to be who you really are, without restrictions, without societal norms.. just you. Hope you guys enjoy this one! More to come.. :)

Lyrics:
Let's pretend to re-live
childhood dreams and make-believe
We'll build our own castle
and run through the fields
Oh the boy who could cry
and the girl who loves to fight
We'll be everything we couldn't be

I know it's unfair
If we could go back again

So I'll be the princess
who didn't want a prince
Just someone like me 
Just someone like me
You'll be the prince
who didn't want a princess
Someone like you
Just someone like you
Let's pretend it's okay to be different
Like us

Let's go back to the time
when we had our valentines
You'll buy him flowers
I'll write her letters
We won't have to sneak out
or pretend the world can't judge us
Ee'll be everything we couldn't be

I know it's unfair
If we could go back again

So I'll be the princess
who didn't want a prince
Just someone like me 
Just someone like me
You'll be the prince
who didn't want a princess
Someone like you
Just someone like you
Let's pretend it's okay to be different

Cause in another life
We wouldn't have to 
Dream for better days
Or hide behind a cover
But don't you worry
We'll find a way
I'm with you
I'm with you

So I'll be the princess
who didn't want a prince
Just someone like me 
Just someone like me
You'll be the prince
who didn't want a princess
Someone like you
Just someone like you
Let's pretend it's okay to be different
Like us

Give It Time

The first of many! A beginner in mixing/producing music, promise i'll learn more :)

Lyrics:

Sometimes I wish that I could see through you
You say a thousand words
Then paint a different picture
Thought we harmonize
But you sing to a different tune
Darling now, where am I supposed to look?

Walking on thin ice
Slowly towards your path
Oh I seem to recognize
But I guess I got the wrong map
Flickering lights, dancing 'round the bay
Now I know, you were never meant to be chased
Oh well

But I like it anyway
Just a smile from you's okay
Oh I'll do it again
Even though I know it's hard
And my patience's running out
Oh I'll do it again

Although I know these things are never fair
I would gladly throw away all my remaining spare
Towards that wishing well
You know I don't believe in them
But I'd wish for you
Over and over again

Walking on thin ice 
Slowly towards your path
Oh I thought I knew every side
But then you show up with a new one
Blinking lights, dancing 'round the stage
Now I know, you were never meant to be chased

But I like it anyway
Just a smile from you's okay
Oh I'll do it again
Even though I know it's hard
And my patience's running out
Oh I'll do it again

Lyrics:

When I think of all the things I wanted from you
I realize there's only one thing
I needed to be true
Am I even worth your reasons
and all your whys
Even if I'll never understand
I don't wanna hear your lie

When I think of all the times I needed a friend
I grab a book and listen to Billie instead
Does it ever bother you
That the dead knows you more than the living
If you ever need someone just
Listen to me singing

Cause maybe this year
I'll grow some new skin
To fight off old versions of who I used to be
Might be the worst
Might be the best
But I'll go on 
It goes on
Maybe this year I'll find what I've been looking for

When I think of all the times I spent just wasting away
I realize, it's me who put myself inside that jail
Though I know it helped me to where I am today
Can't seem to forget the pain I felt yesterday

But maybe this year
I'll grow some new skin
To fight off old versions of who I used to be
Might be the worst
Might be the best
But I'll go on 
It goes on
Maybe this year I'll find what I've been looking for

Lyrics:
2am seems to know 
all of my demons 
You'd be the one fighting them for me 
Staying up all night 
'cause i can't control my mind 
You'd tell me 'it's okay to cry' 

And we savoured what we had 
And we savoured what we didn't have 
I never really saw that you were there 
until you were gone 
and now i hope 
you're having fun 

We used to dream of places 
where we would go 
Child-like fantasies and wishes 
we know it all 
The crazy things we do 
oh how i do miss you 
Now it's all written down in blue 

And we savoured what we had 
And we savoured what we didn't have 
I never really saw that you were there 
until you were gone 
and now i hope 
you're having fun 

It wasn't my lack of sincerity 
it's my fears, and a whole lot of insecurities 
You don't need to see all the negativity 
And i always knew 
You deserve better than me 
Better than me 
Better than me 

And I savour what is gone 
And I don't know why I'm still holding on 
You're off for a better start 
And I need to let this go 
Just so I hope you're happy and free 
Just to let you know 
You deserve better than me

Lyrics:
All this time I've been blinded 
by those airplane lights 
i wonder who i could've been 
if i loved differently 
would i end up in a different place? 
A different person? 

Polaris, lead me to brighter things 
Polaris, lead me to better things 
Polaris, I believe in you 

Everyone's been through something 
that changed them eternally 
And it comforts me 
to think that we are 
looking at the same northern star 
We don't seem so far 

Polaris, lead me to brighter things 
Polaris, lead me to better things 
Polaris, I believe in you 

Polaris, lead me to brighter things 
Polaris, lead me to better things 
Polaris, I believe in you

A bit delayed, but here is the May song! It's been quite a busy month, but satisfying. I can't believe we're almost halfway through the year. This song started out with the chord progression, then the beats and so on. Hope you guys like this one! 

I've been learning more and more about mixing, though i know i still have a long way to go. So if you guys have comments, or feedbacks or tips or whatever, feel free to message me :D it'll be nice to hear from you guys :)

Don't let the stars tell you
what you wanna do
(it comes naturally)
Don't let your mama tell you
where you have to go
(it comes naturally)
Don't let the system
dictate who you have to be
Don't let me change your mind
Let it come naturally

There comes a time
where you lose yourself
(it comes naturally)
Everything that you do
won't ever make sense
(it comes naturally)
The people you always
thought would be there
will be the first to leave
But don't let it scare you away
Let it come naturally

'Cause naturally
Life is a funny thing
And we can't do nothing
but ride along in this crazy journey
'Cause naturally
Life is a strange thing
And we can't do nothing
but ride along all the way

Officially halfway through the year! Here is the June song, also Happy Pride month! I've written this i guess a few years ago, and is very close to my heart. This song is for my LGBTQIA+ peeps, the struggles (and joys) of being part of the community. Continue being who you really are guys <3

Please excuse if my mix ain't that clear or etc. it's been a very stressful few weeks T_T

Lyrics:
In the dark
Honey I'll love you
where no judging eyes will stare
In the dark
Honey I'll kiss you
'til we both need precious air
In the dark
there is freedom
in the dark
there's me and you love
it won't matter
if we're lovers
we don't need to hide in the dark

Soon enough
this world is changing
they'll understand our ways
That love is transcending
mostly blind
no doubt to bear
In the dark
i know it's unfair
to hide what's beautifully made
it wont matter
if they see us
we'll no longer hide in the dark

When the world was made
they forgot to write our names
'cause a love like this
can't possibly be something wrong
(it's not wrong)
maybe we'll burn in hell
but i know that i'll be well
'cause loving you feels like i'm already in heaven
(you're my heaven)
But i talked to god last night 
she told me she loved me still     

In the dark
i can see you
your lovely soul within
How lucky for me to find you
in a world full of make-believe
In the dark
i know we've been through
I'm ready to tell them now
that i love you
with all of my heart
no matter who, what, where you are

Hellooooo.. I know, it's not July anymore haha. But i've actually finished the arrangements/composition of this song way early in july. I just didn't have the words for the longest time. So I just took a break for a little while, found some inspiration and finally finished it. 

Sooo, I watched this movie (that i've put off) and dosing myself with (too much) Brian Wilson. Enjoy this one! :)

Lyrics:
Erase, erase me from your memories
I know you wanted to

How easy is it?
To get up and walk away
Acting like we're not from
the same tree
But i fell for your impulsive ways
Oh I'll do it again
Just to relive the pain

I struggle to be remembered
while you crave to forget

Erase, erase me from your memories
I know you wanted to
You love a spotless mind
there is no alibi
I'm just tired of goodbyes

You spend all your days
recreating things we did
replacing me instead
You kept all my habits
while erasing every trace of me
I feel like i'm fading

I struggle to be remembered
while you crave to forget

Erase, erase me from your memories
I know you wanted to
You love a spotless mind
there is no alibi
I'm just tired of goodbyes

I struggle to be remembered
while you crave to forget
Maybe the mind can be erased 
but the heart never will

Erase, erase me from your memories
I know you wanted to
You love a spotless mind
there is no alibi
I'm just tired of goodbyes

At least just say goodbye
pretend that we have time

Lyrics:
Cried to my mama last night
thinking 'bout you
Told my mama I saw you
doing things you said you would do

'She doesn't care if I'm not there
She doesn't care if I am there oh 
Tell me mama what am I supposed to do?

'cause she ignited something in me
Made me feel like I have never felt that way before
Maybe in another life
with a clean slate in mind
We could try it again
but until then'

Cried to my mama last night
talking 'bout you
Told my mama I heard you
singin' all the songs we used to 

'She pretends that I'm not there
She pretends I was never there oh
Tell me mama what am I supposed to do?

'cause she ignited something in me
Made me feel like I have never felt that way before
Maybe in another life
with a clean slate in mind
We could try it again
but until then'

Cried to my mama last night

Lyrics:
When I was young
I never really paid attention to
prince and princesses
weddings on the top of a hill

Always tryin' to wish on a shooting star
hoping one day I could make my
dreams come true

When all is said and done
I never meant to hurt you
but I told you from the start
I could never give away my heart

Always tryin' to live on the safer side
I just can't erase all I've seen
or maybe that's just how I'm built

But what if I'm just incapable
of this thing called love?
What if I'm just not good enough
will you see me in a different light?

But what if I'm just incapable
of this thing called love?
What if I'm just not good enough
will you see me in a different light?

Lyrics:
Every time
Every time I escape
the clouds of doubt
they seem to know each place
I try to hide in
I think they know me deep within

Parents say that
'you'll go far from here
you'll see the sun rise up on a winter day'
but why do I still find myself
in the same places

Hey now golden child
Stop living in your head for a while
you deserve to live a life
free from all the lies

And now it's getting harder
to take a big step
What if I realize
I'll never go anywhere
Should I even take the chance?

Parents say that
'you'll do amazing
you'll see the stars shine brighter than yesterday'
but why do I still find myself
in the same places

Hey now golden child
Stop living in your head for a while
you deserve to live a life
free from all the lies

You don't need
to be afraid of taking the leap
'cause you deserve to live a life
The way you want it to be

Lyrics:
When I close my eyes
I don't feel that much older
I know it's been a year
Things have changed but I feel
like I'm lost all the same
not really knowing
Through all of these changes
I'll find it again

And I know in time
I will be alright
I've learned
that to grow the only way's to go
through every pain
through every longing
through all of the failures
I'll try again

And maybe now
I'll admit that I am weak
for I am afraid
to tell you how I feel
through every tears
through every silence
maybe i'll believe that
There's a you for me

So I'll be seeing you

When I close my eyes
I don't feel that much older

Lyrics:
Between the lips
Oh between your teeth
They say it's a metaphor
to die or to live
Inhale all your love
Then trap it in your heart
Slowly release it
with a breath
A sigh

Huff it and puff it
Oh the cigarette, love
Harmful yet enslaving
Once you start
there's no stopping
Huff it and puff it
Oh the cigarette, love
Oh Oh you're my cigarette, love

Everyone's addicted
to something so real
One that could take away
the pain from within
A little bit more
and a dash of that
I don't care baby
I could never get enough

Huff it and puff it
Oh the cigarette, love
Harmful yet enslaving
Once you start
there's no stopping
Huff it and puff it
Oh the cigarette, love
Oh Oh you're my cigarette, love

Huff it and puff it
Oh the cigarette, love
Harmful yet enslaving
Once you start
there's no stopping
Huff it and puff it
Oh the cigarette, love
Oh Oh you're my cigarette, love

Maybe you'll see something new 
If you stepped out of your room 
See something beautiful 
If you stopped doubting

Nothing will ever happen 
if you keep on repressing 
Don't be afraid to groove and 
Step out then make a move 

Don't wait for any sign 
They don't always point to right 
You weren't made to follow 
every single guideline 
Nothing will ever happen 
if you keep on rejecting 
Don't be afraid to groove and 
Step out then make a move 

Take a breath 
Then let it all out 
Just because you aren't there yet 
Doesn't mean you'll never make it now 
Everyone is fighting 
so don't you lose yourself 
in the process 
Just let your body groove and 
step out then make a move 

Make a move 
Just make a move 
Just make a move 
Make a move 
Just make a move 
Just make a move

I see you just flyin' away
Away from me again
Up in the air
With little to care
About the hearts you bare

Running away
A million miles a day
Behind misty clouds
And the darkness of the night
You better hold on tight
Cause it's gonna be
A bumpy ride

Goodbye to your airplane lights
Goodbye to the memories
In daylight
Will I ever see you again?
Oh my darling I know I know
This is the end

I see you just flyin' away
Away from me again
So many things were left unsaid
And they're hanging by a thread

How could I be so blinded?
You're never meant to stay in one place
So I'm taking a step away
Soar higher, soar higher

Goodbye to your airplane lights
Goodbye to the memories
In daylight
Will I ever see you again?
Oh my darling I know I know
This is the end

Goodbye to your airplane lights
Goodbye to the memories
In daylight
Will I ever see you again?

Lyrics:
Why do I always fall
For the ones who can't seem 
To love completely
Is there something wrong
With how I perceive love
The way it is?

Tell me how
Could I ever learn to
Trust in myself
And to trust your sweet words?
Should I let my guard down?
But if I let my guard down,
Will you?

If I could find
My way back to the start
Would you be there to believe?
Cause I'm afraid of
Giving away my heart,
Of learning to let myself fall

Why is it so hard
Believing in something
I wished for could
Actually come to be true
Can't help but question
And find so many reasons
To push you away
Just to keep my heart safe

Tell me how
Could I ever learn to
Trust that we'll be alright?
Should I let my guard down?
But if I let my guard down,
Will you?

If I could find
My way back to the start
Would you be there to believe?
Cause I'm afraid of
Giving away my heart
Of learning to let myself fall

Tell me how
Could I ever see past
All the pain and the lies
I've been haunted by
I think that I'm falling
But now that I'm falling,
Are you?

If I could find
My way back to the start
Would you be there to believe?
Cause I'm afraid of
Giving away my heart
Of learning to let myself fall
