Art by touristwatches and holyskirts

today i saw your little ring hiding in the sand
i put in in a canary cup to put it in your hand
before you walked away 
your little crochet hat unraveled and you sang
that's why i'll never pass by lou's coffee shop
or speak of it again

woo!

you don't have to apologize because i don't write cards each year
there are some things i'll learn to accept
and some i'll learn to fear
so go walk away 
i'll pop some champagne 
bottoms up while i can
that's why i'll never pass by lou's coffee shop
or speak of it again

Lou's Coffee Shop (Demo)

This song is a product of my teenage years spent reading YA (Young Adult) books and falling for fictional characters. Pure cheese, no shame.

Super grateful to @EanAguila for producing this song! I don't think I would have released it without your help. Thank you so much!!

LYRICS:
Verse 1
I feel alive in your eyes
You shouldn't be surprised
You give me butterflies
You don't even try

CHORUS:
And in the dark I feel your heart 
I find your gaze it doesn't waver from my face
I see you now I saw you then I'll see you for ever more

Verse 2
I see so much beyond
This road that I stand upon
And you are by my side
There's no need to hide

CHORUS

Bridge:
And if you are a world away
I know that we will be okay
Cause what we have is so surreal
It's more than tangible I feel
It's how I find you in the dark
Or how you somehow feel my heart
It's how I saw you then I see you now I'll see you for
Ever more

Ever (Now on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer)

sunlight used to be in my eyes
until they brought me down 
and started raining, raining
raining on me
everything used to be
so simple and true
it was always about 
always, always
always about me and you

so tell me how do i forget
all the stories we have shared
to each other
why do they bother

cause loving you
is just a dream 
i wouldn't want to wake up from
cause loving you
is the greatest risk I've ever taken
cause loving you
is something they would never understand

yes i do believe 
i do believe in wishing upon a star
i talk to them at night and say
please lead me, lead me
lead me to where things used to be

Slight

you with your headphones on
i thought i saw 
some trace of january's warmth
on your favorite t-shirt
how it made me wonder why
you never swing by
anymore
by my door

you and your tired eyes
now i see in pictures 
has it really been this while
since i held you close
to me 
oh these things are changing fast
some never really last
it happens all the time
and you've got to make yourself
feel fine

artwork by Ryōichi Ikegami

anymore

All the noises somehow cleared
And all the voices disappeared
Is this another mesmerizing question?
I found myself asking.

Tell me something I don’t know
Cause I have nowhere else to go
I have no one else to blame
Playing all these fragile games

But oh, when you waltz into the room
It’s a turbulence before a plane crash
It doesn’t matter where I land
As long as I can hold your hand

This evening I shall rest my case
Never knowing what to say
My reflections tell me wrong
But I kept pushing far too long

Tell me something I don’t know
Cause I have nowhere else to go
A solitary crow in a murder
Tell me, how much further?

But oh, when you waltz into the room
It’s a turbulence before a plane crash
It doesn’t matter where I land
As long as I can hold your hand

And I will travel faraway between the oceans
Separating our fickle stares and our bashful smiles
Don’t even deny, just give me a try
Cause words won’t be able to bridge me over

Cause your taste fills my senses
With diamond wrenches under the trenches

Backward sailings around my
Norwegian desires
Call it a game

Oh no, my sweet Leona
Don’t you even forget me
Come back, let me say once more:
“This is not goodbye”

This heart is yours for the taking
Don’t you turn your back on me again
Say it, say that you need me
Even if it’s a lie

Oh no, my sweet Leona
Don’t you even forget me
Come back, let me say once more:
“This is not goodbye”

This heart is yours for the taking
Don’t you turn your back on me again
Say it, say that you need me
Even if it’s a lie

Leona

~tis the season~

on days of rain and of thunder
i make some room on the bed
so i can prepare for companionship
once it's no longer just all in my head

on days of sun and of salt
i sit in the shade and look enviously
at those unafraid of the water
as if they were so different from me

take me to the moon and back, somebody please
i want to know how it feels

on days of work and of thanklessness
how nice it must be to hear,
"hello, how are you, what's wrong
would you like to talk it over a beer?"

it may be so that i'm just a fool
with my lofty fantasies
but it was never for lack of trying 
that love has never come to me

take me to the moon and back, somebody please
i want to know how it feels

(note: i now realize the mixing is quite loud.. i am sorry)

Recorded at Watusi Studios, Manila (2015-2016)

Hey baby baby, it's been so long
For a second, I thought you had gone
But I always had something on my mind
If I asked you, would you say that you tried?

It's too soon to say that I'm sure
And you're not easily swayed by words anyway

Don't you know? 
I can't keep waiting without knowing what's the deal
So it goes,
And people keep talking without saying what they feel

Just let me know when it's real

Hey baby baby, when you called
I assumed that you knew it all
Thought I spelled it out as clear as day
For me to get to you, what should I say?

Maybe my intentions seem blurred,
And you're not easily swayed by words anymore

(Stop overthinking)
Just let me know when it's real
(You can't change the feeling)
Just let me know when it's real

And my heart's got to decide
I can't keep it inside
And you can't change my mind no more

And people keep on talking without ever saying whatever they truly feel

Let Me Know When It's Real - Ilang Ylang-Ylang?

An indie cover written by Michael Masser and Gerry Goffin. As popularized by Whitney Houston
