Thank you so much, Sam!

Misguided Ghosts by: Paramore (cover) *For Nikki

MALAYA KA NA is a song about finding strength in letting go, keeping that fire of love alive and still hoping for the best no matter how painful the journey of love will be.


Special thanks to Jegs Benedict for helping me (in giving so much more life and color to this song *i luv u*) produce this song!

And also super thank you to the talented Nelle Fernandez for doing this song's artwork! It's her own visual representation of the song and I really like it!

Lyrics:
Nung gabing sinabi mo sa akin
Hindi mo na mahal
Pilit kong nilabanan ang tadhana
Ngunit sino ba?

Ako para sayo parte ng nakalipas
Di mo na maibabalik ang tamis
Di mo na maibabalik ang ngiti

Ikaw ay sumuko
Sa 'di tamang panahon
Naiwan sa agos
'Di pa makaahon

Mahirap man sabihin
Malaya ka na

Tatangapin na lang ang katotohanan
Di na aasa pa
Sa takbo ng ating kapalaran
Di na kita kayang abutan

Puro pagtatanong
Wala naman kasagutan
Di na nga maibabalik ang tamis
Di mo na maibabalik ang ngiti

Ikaw ay sumuko
Sa 'di tamang panahon
Naiwan sa agos
'Di pa makaahon

Mahirap man sabihin
Malaya ka na

Magpapaubaya na lang sa tadhana
Susunod sa agos bumalik man sa simula
Anong malay natin
Baka pagtagpuin muli

Ikaw ay sumuko
Sa 'di tamang panahon
Naiwan sa agos
'Di pa makaahon

Mahirap man sabihin
Malaya ka na

Malaya Ka Na

I wrote this for the people who have continuously supported me despite all my self-doubt and insecurities! You are all lovely humans! Thank you! <3

Special thank you to the wonderful people who I have collaborated with in this project/demo:
To my good friend, the amazing Dan Tristan haha, thank you for helping me record and lending your mixing and mastering skills to this song! 
And also the talented Frances Pintor, who made this beautiful artwork! 

Locked doors, scared of my own ghost
I'm loading boxes in my mind
Frustations, doubts of any kind

But you are a thousand mingled rays of warmth
Keeping me safe
Making me feel that I'm worth it

And everytime, I feel so weary

You tuck me in your arms
You tell me everything will be fine
Say a hundred times
Flowers bloom when you look into my eyes
Into my soul


Built walls, hated my own skin
I'm not the easiest person to love, darling
You have seen the worst parts of me
And you said we can't have roses without the thorns

I wrote this song for you~

I Wrote This Song For You (demo)

((🎧 listen with earphones 👂))

Wrote a song about being anxious and apologetic at 2AM. Sometimes we reflect about our day (or our lives in general) and get drowned with all the worry and pressure.

Here's a little reminder for everyone to be kinder to ourselves. Sleep early (if you can 😉), drink lots of water 🥛 (drinking mine now while typing this) and let go of all those gloomy thoughts when you lay down on your bed to rest 🛌. For now, dream and let tomorrow worry about itself. 🌤

Will you, will you forgive me?
I only wear blue
With my dirty sneakers 
And my dizzy daydreams
I need some distraction
Fighting the demon that's in my head

So I'll just tell myself

Go get some sleep
Come and rest your head
Allow yourself to dream instead

Am I too loud?
Am I too quiet?
Sorry if I'm late again
Sorry I can't be everything you need
I'm not what you need

Sleep Talk (original)

Aaminin ko na takot ako
Dumating ang araw
Yakap ko'y hindi ikaw

Kaya iguguhit ko
Sa palad ang mga ngiti mo
Hanggang sa makabisado
Ang daan pabalik sa'yo

Aanhin ko ang bukas
Kung sadyang taksil ang oras
Sa paglubog ng buwan
Lumbay ay hahagkan

Hindi ipapangako
Ang magpakailanpaman
Siguro, walang sigurado
Pero dito lang ako
Kahit na takot ako
Dito lang ako

Aaminin ko na takot ako
Dumating ang araw
Yakap ko'y hindi ikaw

Sigurado (original)

Dialing your number again
Though I know, you're not gonna pick it up
Talking to myself again
Trying to recall
Whatever the hell I've done is wrong

I know people say things
They don't quite mean
I must admit
You can tell the meanest things when you're upset

How to make these nightmares go away
If you keep your head on the bad side of the bed

Take it slow
Admit the things we don't know
We've got a long way to go

Take your time
It ain't about me and mine
We gotta leave spaces to grow

What if I listen
What if you talk
What if we stop pointing fingers
Before we turn into strangers

Do we need to know
Which way the river flows?
Do we sink or swim?
All these excuses are wearing thin

Spaces (demo)

Hi! I'm MJ, singer-songwriter who strongly believes in the power of storytelling and giving people safe spaces to feel confident about themselves and their stories. Finds comfort in expressing my own fears, musings on sadness, love and loss through songs.

Thank you so much for listening!

MJ Legaspi
