Lyrics:

What I've wanted for a moment or two now
Seems has almost passed a full decade
I can feel as slowly spark has turned to stone
And I fear that I'm depreciating

I don't know where to turn to now to keep the faith
So I'll take my bow if my luck runs out
I'm nothing great

I'm what you want me to be

Wake up fearing for my future every night
Do I give up way too easily?
Do I expect to be carried to survive?
Am I nothing but a common leech?
Oh well

I don't know where to turn to now to keep the faith
So I'll take my bow if my luck runs out
I'm nothing great

I'm what you want me to be

Well the time has come to move my life along
No I can't bury my love yet in it's grave
But I've got to get, got to get going
There's nothing left to do except escape

I don't know where to turn to now to keep the faith
So I'll take my bow if my luck runs out
I'm nothing great

I'm what you want me to be

"All I See is Beauty"

Lyrics and composition by ML Ruubz
All vocal and instrumental performance, recording, and production by ML Ruubz

JBD2 Piano Sketch 1/4

---- Lyrics ----

I look at you,
And all I see is beauty.
It draws me in,
Closer and closer to you.

Your beauty is sunlight on my eyelids,
Seeping through my skin,
Into my heart,
Warming the depths of my soul.

Whenever I see you,
All I see is beauty.
It draws me in,
Closer and closer to you.

You've got that beauty that kindles the fire of my soul.
Oh, and you've got a pretty face, too.

I hold you close,
And all I feel is love.
It lifts me up,
Closer and closer to you.

Yeah, I'm a sunshine girl
Who lost her mind in the snow.
Got blown away by the wind
But never gave up on finding home.
Swam on through the storm,
As it washed all seasons away
And only left the faded greys.

Oh, you.
All I see is beauty.
It draws me forward,
Closer and closer to you.

Whenever I see you,
All I see is beauty.
It draws me there,
Closer and closer to you.

This one's for all the cheesy lovers out there! It was recently boyfriend's birthday, so I whipped up a few songs for him. Hope you enjoy this one!

In other news, the whole new place thing isn't really working out for recording purposes -_- everything in this studio apartment is pretty noisy, and my furniture is a bit too tall for me that it is a hassle to try to hang up blankets every time I want to *properly* track vocals. Also this is Perth, so I don't have many blankets.

But enough excuses! I have some piano sketches of ***woooo brand new material*** (e.g. this song) that I will be posting over the next few weeks.

Peace :)

Piano Sketch: All I See is Beauty - ML Ruubz

"Every Day"

Lyrics and composition by ML Ruubz
All vocal and instrumental performance, recording, and production by ML Ruubz

JBD2 Piano Sketch 2/4

---- Lyrics ----

Another day,
Another medicine
To stop the pain
From thwarting sense again.
In the dark, I grasp
For imagery of you and I - 
Tell me that
We are still real.

Every day,
You know I'm fighting
For another day
To see your smile, and
I know it's kind of hard
To believe in me,
But one day, baby,
I'll set us free.

Not making sense.
Wanting to disappear.
Tries again,
But again it's shit you
Don't want to hear.
I'll run alone,
If it means sparing you.
I can't tell the nightmares 
From truth.

Every day,
You know I'm fighting
For another day
To see your smile, and
I know it's kind of hard
To believe in me,
But one day, baby,
I'll set us free.

One day, baby, I'll set us free
And, love, I'll make you happy and healthy and
I'll join you in our dreams.
One day, baby, I'll set us free.

This one's for anyone who's ever suffered through any illness or hardship, or loved someone who was going through it. Peace <3

Piano Sketch: Every Day - ML Ruubz

"Fall Out"

Lyrics and composition by ML Ruubz
All vocal and instrumental performance, recording, and production by ML Ruubz

JBD2 Piano Sketch 3/4

---- Lyrics ----

My heart is too in love with you.
Yeah, my heart is too in love with you.
It wants your words,
It wants your music,
It wants your time,
It wants to know it isn't in love
On its own.
But I'm lonely,
So lonely, so
I must fall out of love from you.

My body's too in love with you.
Yeah, my body's too in love with you.
It wants your touch,
It wants your rhythm,
It wants you close,
It wants to hold hands
And be laughing with you.
But I'm cold,
So cold, so
I must fall out of love from you.

My soul is too in love with you.
Yeah my soul is too in love with you.
It wants your drive,
It wants your dreams,
Your deepest desires,
It wants to pray with you at mealtimes
And at night.
But I'm lost,
So lost, so
I must fall out of love from you.

This one's for anyone who's ever been lovesick. Enjoy! xx

Piano Sketch: Fall Out - ML Ruubz

"Good Times"

Lyrics and composition by ML Ruubz
All vocal and instrumental performance, recording, and production by ML Ruubz

JBD2 Piano Sketch 4/4

---- Lyrics ----

What cuts a classic from the cliched?
And where's the turning point from popular to overplayed?
Imagine a world that doesn't harbour hate - 
Or would that be the toughest crowd to entertain.

What cuts the fuckery from fun?
And where's the turning point from give-your-all to overdone?
Remember all the times you wanted to give up?
Now, look how far we have come.

Yeah, baby,
Look how far we've come.
Look how much we've grown.
Look how far
From the start we are
And look at all the good times
We've got to go.

I used to overthink.
I used to overthink. I used to overthink -
Overthink everything, anything, nothing - 
Overthink things.
You used to jump to stupid concludes.

But now I know that you're my only one:
The only world in which I belong.
You're righting errs you never realised were wrong
And I'm re-writing verses to fit your songs.

Look how far we've come.
Look how much we've grown.
Look how far
From the start we are
And look at all the good times
We've got to go.

---- Info ----

The JBD2 Piano Sketch Quartet is compleeeeteeee!

As some people may (or may not) notice, I used a different keyboard in this little project. Normally I record on a 73-key semi-weighted. In this project, I used an 88-key fully-weighted. Which means I had a lot of fun banging A0s in the bass hand. :3 Forgive me, having 7 octaves is a sorely missed luxury!

Finally, this one is for anyone who has reached a milestone, or will be completing one soon. School, relationships, career, hobbies, life, whatever. This is my congrats anthem for you :) (Well, the draft version.) Peace! xx
