What is Love

If it’s seven out of ten, tell me what’s missing from this equation. If it’s seven out of ten, tell me what’s missing from this relationship. 
Are we too young to settle down? 
Do we still wanna play around the fields of summer flings 
and transient things 
and everything that doesn’t count?

What is love anyway - 
it’s so easy to confuse the rush with the real thing. 
What is love anyway? 
How can you know when you’re behind the screen? 

If it’s seven out of ten, tell me when you felt the passion fading. 
If it’s seven out of ten, tell me that I’m right for being jaded. 
Are we too young to settle down? 
Do we still wanna play around the fields of summer flings 
and transient things 
and everything that doesn’t count? 

What is love anyway - 
it’s so easy to confuse the rush with the real thing. 
What is love anyway? 
How can you know when you’re behind the screen? 

Why do we try so hard 
to get to the other side when the grass is already green?
Maybe tonight I’ll wish they said that another try 
is what we need. 

What is love anyway - 
it’s so easy to confuse the rush with the real thing. 
What is love anyway? 
How can you know when you’re behind the screen?

What Is Love

Move On

The heart has a funny way of altering perception
I wanted so much more than just a chemical attraction
If you can build a wall then I can take the blame 
for thinking silly thoughts that someday you would want the same

So I’ll thank you for letting me know 
the incentive to let you go

I once longed to feel your love again 
but these one-way streets lead to no end 
and I know better than to wait 
for a moment that will never ever come
It’s time to move on...

The mind has a funny way of altering perception
I tried to analyze your explanations 
Now, if you can turn to stone then I can turn away
I’ll stop the silly things I tried to make you want to stay 

And I’ll thank you for letting me know 
the incentive to let you go 

I once longed to feel your love again 
but these one-way streets lead to no end 
and I know better than to wait 
for a moment that will never ever come
It’s time to move on...

Time to move on... What’s the use of holding on? 
I’m gonna let you go

I once longed to feel your love again 
but these one-way streets lead to no end 
and I know better than to wait 
for a moment that will never ever come
It’s time to move on...

Move On

A virtuosic piece for solo piano that starts with a nod to Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata, opens to a chord-loving Prokofiev-esque theme, a Bartok-flavoured folk-melody middle, with an epic montuno-inspired coda... all in short span of 80 seconds. 

TOCCATINA

Disney songs are the best !! 💖 I made this cover in anticipation of seeing the recent remake. I wanted to capture the simplicity of my favourite version of the tune sung by Mrs. Potts (Angela Lansbury).

Beauty and the Beast COVER

THINKING 'BOUT US

love so green it didn't have a chance
left to the winds of happenstance
but roots took hold inside of me
so thirsty for your company

remember when you moved away
i saved my tears for a rainy day
i shouldn't have let you go
i've always had trouble letting go

we never had our time 
so why can't i accept this?
do you know how many nights
i've waited around for you call me up and say

i've been thinking 'bout us, babe
i've been thinking a lot these days
it could still be the same, it could still be the same
i've been thinking 'bout us, babe
i've been thinking a lot these days
if we could start a new page, 
let's revisit those days
making love at my place place place
i've been thinking 'bout us lately


love so new i couldn't break my fall
time's supposed to heal it all
the dust that settled so long ago
still holds our story etched in stone

remember how you used to say
the past shapes who we are today
i shouldn't have let you go
i've always had trouble letting go

we never had our time 
so why can't i accept this?
do you know how many nights
i've waited around for you call me up and say

i've been thinking 'bout us, babe
i've been thinking a lot these days
it could still be the same, it could still be the same
i've been thinking 'bout us, babe
i've been thinking a lot these days
if we could start a new page, 
let's revisit those days
making love at my place place place
i've been thinking 'bout us lately

oh we've all got that sore spot
but we learn real fast how to hide the scars
i'm not afraid of getting cut
if it means you might show up sometime and say

hey, i've been thinking 'bout us, babe
i've been thinking a lot these days
it could still be the same, it could still be the same
i've been thinking 'bout us, babe
i've been thinking a lot these days
if we could start a new page, 
let's revisit those days
making love at my place place place
i've been thinking 'bout us lately

love so green it didn't have a chance
i shouldn't have let you go
i've always had trouble letting go

Thinking 'Bout Us

STRAIGHT UP

roll down the window
let in the fresh air
sun in your face
and wind in your hair

leave it behind you
this is a new day
no one’s around to
complicate

when every word's got a meaning
can’t really say what you’re feeling inside
there are times they’re gonna take it wrong
overthink and analyze it like the lyrics of this song

why can’t people just be straight up, straight up
why do i like feel i gotta deconstruct what they’re staying
why can’t people just be straight up, straight up
i don’t wanna play this guessing game


rumours have started
from all the hear-say
who knew how far
they’d take the cliche

fickle as always
popular 'pinion
stand to your ground and
part the waves

when every word's got a meaning
can’t really say what you’re feeling inside
there are times they’re gonna take it wrong
overthink and analyze it like the lyrics of this song

why can’t people just be straight up, straight up
why do i like feel i gotta deconstruct what they’re staying
why can’t people just be straight up, straight up
i don’t wanna play this guessing game

Straight Up

Music and Lyrics by Moulann

I remember we once shone so bright. 
we lit the entire midnight sky, 
but one sucked the other's helium 
and everybody thinks somebody's cheating them. 

We're binary stars waiting to implode, 
just another couple waiting to explode. 

Supernova, this is farewell it was good to know you. 
Supernova, the end’s the climax, see, I always told you 
that you will shine again 
and I will shine again. 

We were once on equal grounds. 
When did imbalance bring us down? 
Let the tension build up, let the temperature rise so high,
it burns every single one of our ties. 

We're binary stars waiting to implode, 
just another couple waiting to explode. 

Supernova, this is farewell it was good to know you. 
Supernova, the end’s the climax, see, I always told you 
that you will shine again and I will shine again.

Oh~

Supernova, this is farewell it was good to know you. 
Supernova, the end’s the climax, see, I always told you 
that you will shine again and I will shine again.

Supernova

Music, lyrics, arrangement by Moulann

*****

Darkness comes with silent spies, 
worries like to play at night. 
Memories in red dance with shadows. 

Waking to another dream 
liquifies reality. 
Emptiness breeds spirals and mazes. 

Morning will come again 
with sunlight creeping through the curtains. 
Morning will come again. 
The secret’s safe in cloudless skies and all is peaceful. 

Hope distills the truth untold, 
dormant wishes crush the soul. 
Heart full of holes leaking desires. 

Morning will come again 
with sunlight creeping through the curtains. 
Morning will come again. 
The secret’s safe in cloudless skies and all is peaceful. 

Darkness sings a lullaby, 
sadness found a place to hide. 
Memories in red dance with the ones in blue.
