This song encapsulates the enduring love and sentiment expressed throughout the lyrics, highlighting the theme of holding onto someone dear even when circumstances change.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I fell in love, and it took me by surprise
Saw the light in your eyes, it opened up the skies
But you're still healing, I can see it in your smile
And it breaks me sometimes, knowing you can't stay awhile

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish for you to find the peace you're searching for
To be the best version of yourself, and so much more
Though I’m aching, I'll stand by you
Even if I'm not the one who sees you through

[Chorus]
I still yearn for you, I still hope you're happy
Even if it's not with me, I'm trying to be free
Trusting the universe, though chances feel low
My heart still remembers, and it will always show
You’ll forever have a place in my heart, you know

[Verse 2]
Time will heal, and I believe you’ll make it out
You’ll rise above the pain, there’s no doubt
I used to wish you’d be here by my side
But now I only wish to see you shine

[Repeat Chorus]

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Whether you believe it, whether you see
You’ve changed my world, you set me free
And if we never find our way
I’ll still be here, come what may

[Repeat Chorus]

[Outro]
I still remember you, and I always will
You’ll forever be my light, even when the world stands still
You’ll forever have a place in my heart, you know.

Forever, You Know

A 2024 version of my high school composition, with a fresher vibe indeed.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I think I know what love is
The amazing sensation I feel throughout
My body every single time we touch
Everytime I hear your name
I instantly think of you
And how precious you are

[Chorus]
When I think back to the memories we have shared
I can't help but smile because with you I felt
Something I have never felt
I know it must be love
I know it must be love

[Verse 2]
We have never kissed, yet I'm ready and willing to give everything you need
You may love me, but you love someone else
Yet I still am as happy as I can be for you
When we argue my heart drops to the lowest part of my stomach
In fear of losing you

[Repeat Chorus]

[Instrumental]

[Repeat Verse 2 & Chorus]

[Bridge]
Love, love
Oooohhhh

[Outro]
It's 6AM in the morning
I've spent my whole night thinking of you
The memories, tears, laughs and years
Are sacred they mean so much to me
I promise pretty girl, you are my world
The true definition of beauty
I love you....

It Must Be Love

This is the first song I wrote during the pandemic back in 2020, and it's about someone seeking clarity in a romantic relationship, wanting to know if the other person's feelings are genuine or not.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I'll come and pick you up at night
It's been so good having you
Am I really giving you a feel of those butterflies?
That will be so good, so good

[Chorus]
Would you please tell me your feelings?
Is it real or is it not?
Would you please stop playing games coz I ain't got much time?
Is it real or is it not?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
What I'm showing here is the real me
Hope you're seeing it hmmm
Will it be possible to happen with that sunrise?
That will be so nice, so nice

[Repeat Chorus]

[Outro]

Answer Me

This song uses the Chemistry language to describe a deep and harmonious love connection, as sung by my friend from New York (her voice will appear again in a future release).

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Atoms in the night sky
Electrons drifting by
Bonding in the silence
Energy in alliance

[Verse 2]
Molecules align tight
Orbitals take flight
Fusion in the stillness
Reacting to the kindness

[Chorus]
Chemistry between us
Physical trust no fuss
Periodic table truths
In our elements we choose

[Verse 3]
Ions by the moonlight
Neutrons hold on so tight
Forces in our dance
Quantum love a chance

[Verse 4]
Catalysts ignite us
Equations never fight us
Balance in the flair
Love fills the air

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Chemistry between us
Equations never fight us
Balance in the flair
Love fills the air

[Repeat Chorus]

[Outro]

Our Physical Chemistry (feat. my NYC friend)

'Ber months na and you know it, pasko na sa Pinas =))

This is a fun song inspired by the typical early Christmas celebration in the Philippines.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
When the 'ber months roll in
We know it's time to begin
Hanging lights on every tree
A festive vibe you can't deny, you see

Malls are playing all the tunes
Jingles and bells under the moon
From September to December
Filipinos, we remember

[Pre-Chorus]
Twinkling lights and carols at night
Every street is shining bright
From the mountains to the shore
Christmas spirit, we want more

[Chorus]
'Cause we, we start the party early
Fill the air with love and cheer
It's Christmas time from September here
We celebrate all through the year

'Cause we, we can't wait till December
All together, hearts so tender
Filipino Christmas, it's so clear
We bring the joy, we bring the cheer

[Verse 2]
Families gather 'round the tree
Sharing love and memories
Puto bumbong and bibingka
Holiday flavors, oh, they linger

Parols lighting up the night
Simbang gabi, a peaceful sight
From the city to the barrio
Everywhere you go, you know

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

[Instrumental]

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

[Outro]
From September to the new year
Every day is filled with cheer
Filipinos, we know how
To celebrate right now

Christmas In September (feat. Friends)

It's a song based on recent life events.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I wake up every morning, put my shoes on tight
Head down to the station, catch the first train at light
Work my fingers to the bone, day turns into night
But the end of the month comes, and it just ain't right

[Chorus]
Working without pay, I'm feeling so blue
Giving all my time, don't know what to do
Promises were made, but they ain't come true
Working without pay, I'm losing my groove

[Verse 2]
I see my brothers and my sisters, they're in the same boat
Trying to keep their heads up, trying to stay afloat
The bills are piling high, the rent's overdue
And there's no sign of that paycheck, no sign of a clue

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
You can only push a man so far
Before he breaks down, before he falls apart
I'm just a simple soul with a dream in my heart
But dreams don't buy bread when you're living in the dark

[Instrumental]

[Repeat Chorus]

[Outro]
Yeah, working without pay, it’s a damn crying shame
Gonna take back my life, gonna reclaim my name
No more working without pay, no more playing their game
Gonna stand up tall, never feel this pain again

Working Without Pay (feat. my SoKor friend)

This song is about realizing that love cannot be forced; and that it's better to walk away from a one-sided relationship to preserve one's self-worth and emotional well-being. Like the title, CFCs are dangerous to human health so stop it.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Never force a love that's dead
Sometimes you’re better off alone, instead
You’re holding on, but they don’t see
The truth of who you’re meant to be

[Pre-Chorus]
There will be times when being gone
Teaches you more than hanging on
Stop breaking your heart just to stay
In something that should fade away

[Chorus]
You can't force someone to care
Or make them always be there
You can't shape them into what you need
When they just want to leave
The one you crave might be the one
You’re better off without, so run
Some things come to pass, not stay
Don’t lose yourself along the way

[Verse 2]
You give your love, your everything
But you can't mend a broken ring
If they can’t give, then let it go
Don’t cling to what you used to know

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it’s hard when hearts collide
You see forever in their eyes
But all the tears you cry tonight
Will heal with time and make it right

[Repeat Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
It's better to be alone
Than settle for a heart of stone
If they see you as an option
They don't deserve to be your home

[Repeat Chorus]

[Outro]
Take my advice, don’t chase the ghost
Who doesn't want you, let them go
Never chase someone who won’t
Chase you back, you’re better on your own

CFC (Can't Force to Care) - Band Version

Another 2024 version of my high school composition, this time with a "good vibes" approach.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Nagiisa na naman
Naghihintay sa iyo
Pagod na pagod na ang aking puso
Maghapon, magdamag
Nahihilo sapagkat
Ikaw lang ang iniisip bawat segundo

[Pre-Chorus]
Ngunit sadyang maloko ang mundo
Pinaglalayo tayo

[Chorus]
Umaasang mapasakin kang muli
Muling mabalik ang maromansang sandali
Sana'y mapagbigyan mo muli
Pagkat ako'y isang lalakeng
Bitin na bitin

[Verse 2]
Nangangarap na naman
Na ako'y kapiling mo
Sawang sawa na ako sa ganito
Pero hindi mapigilan
Pagkat nasayo na
Ang kulang nalang naman ay ang puso mo

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Umaasang mapasakin kang muli
Muling mabalik ang maromansang sandali
Sana'y mapagbigyan mo muli
Pagkat ako'y isang lalakeng....

Bitin

Sometimes you can finish a song because work was cancelled due to a tropical storm..

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Fading in the ticking clock's shadow
A dance of dust in twilight’s glow
Chasing fragments of a fading tomorrow
In the maze where dreams and echoes go

[Verse 2]
In the labyrinth of daily thunder
Small joys like rain, we seldom find
Caught between the roar and wonder
Of a world that steals our wandering mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Mountains of moments, fleeting and frail
Through the keyhole of desire, we sail

[Chorus]
But oh, the chains of grandeur bind
While stardust slips through fingers blind
We crave the whispers, soft and clear
But where do we go from here?

[Verse 3]
Silent symphonies in the spaces between
Lost in the hum of the machine
We trace the paths of forgotten streams
In the tapestry of half-lived dreams

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Mountains of moments, fleeting and frail
Through the keyhole of desire, we sail
We crave the whispers, soft and clear
But where do we go from here?

‐-------------------------------------------

This song explores the struggle to find meaning amid the chaos of modern life, reflecting the tension between fleeting beauty and the burdens of ambition and success.

Just remember this, it's okay not to be okay 🤍

Uncertain Reverie

This song captures the whirlwind experience of living with ADHD, emphasizing challenges like disorganization, mental overload, and shifting focus, as well as unique strengths such as creativity, spontaneity, and freedom. It aligns with this month's advocacy by promoting an understanding of ADHD’s complexities while celebrating the value of neurodivergence and resilience in everyday life.

‐-------------------------------------------

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Morning light is shining bright
Forgotten what I planned last night
Trouble finding keys I need
Mind takes off at lightning speed

[Verse 2]
Coffee brewing thoughts are stewing
Plans I made now feel confusing
Lost in dreams that drift away
Focus wavers can't quite stay

[Chorus]
I'm a scatterbrain oh can't you see
Chasing thoughts that run from me
Life is chaos but I'm free
Living wild with ADHD

[Verse 3]
Concentration melts like snow
Where it went I just don't know
Jump from task to task I'm lost
Daily life comes with a cost

[Verse 4]
But the colors are so bright
Every day a brand new fight
Finding joy in every flow
Exploring places others won't go

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Verse 4]

[Repeat Chorus]
