Painful Love

Lyrics and Composition by:
Ms. Crystalline

VERSE 1
How can you cause me so much pain?
Yet all I can do is love you?
Broken promises, broken trust
Tell me you can fix my heart

VERSE 2
How can I cry so much tears for you?
Yet I’m drowning deep in love . . .
Call me crazy, call me blind
But I see what I want

BRIDGE
I want you
I need you
I’m not giving up on you….

(Spoken)
I reach my arms out to hold you
Only to fall into the deep abyss of your love
Never ending, never more real
Even if it is painful love I feel
You’re worth the pain
Because you’re everything to me

VERSE 3
How can you cause me so much hurt? 
Yet I’m losing you slowly
Holding on, holding strong
 I will fight for you

(Spoken)
I want you to know that
Even if my heart bleeds for you
At least you’ll know it’s here beating for you…..

Painful Love (Original Demo)

A very rough recording of a song dedicated to my home country, which I have never gotten to know well and have left too many times.

Love is (Simple and Beautiful)

Lyrics and composition by:
Ms. Crystalline

(Verse  1)
Never thought I’d feel this way
It was an improbable love
Nobody saw it coming

(Verse 2)
But somehow the chemistry grew
I didn't know it would be you
Standing there all along

(Chorus)
Love is simple and beautiful
No one has ever made me feel this way
It’s a joy to be with you
You’re truly the one that I do adore

Verse 3
Maybe I think too much
I should just let it be and
Let love lead the way 

(Bridge)
Love like this is rare
It doesn't come by often
Must treasure what you have

(Chorus)
Love is simple and beautiful
No one has ever made me feel this way
It’s a joy to be with you
You’re truly the one that I do adore

(Coda)
Never thought I’d feel this way
How could I have known 
That it was you

Sunday Morning (Maroon 5 Cover)

An original music composition I composed, produced, arranged and sang.

Apple Of My Eye

Music, lyrics, and vocals by: Ms. Crystalline

Softly whisper in my ear
The words I want to hear
Wipe away all these lonely tears
I've been crying for all these years
 
Nothing in this world can compare
The way you show me how much you care
Your love is my heart's symphony
You and I are destiny

CHORUS
I can't believe you're here with me
You and I are meant to be
It's your love I've been waiting for
You're the one that I adore

You bring colors and opened up the door
I couldn't have asked for anything more
I'm the lock and you're the  key
There is only you and me


INTERLUDE

I've been searching the stars in the sky
For a love that could qualify
We fit so perfectly together
Life is going to get so much better

CHORUS

INTERLUDE

CODA
You are forever the apple of my eye
Oh my oh my oh my

Apple Of My Eye (Self-Produced Original Demo)

I composed, produced, arranged the music instrumental, and did the vocals for my version of the interpretation to the lyrics my friend John Chuidian had beautifully written in his piece "Stars in Siem Reap".

Stars in Siem Reap

Lyrics by: John Chuidian
Music produced, arranged, composed, and vocals by : Ms. Crystalline
Additional Piano and Mixing/Mastering: Gary Cheung

Yesterday was ten thousand miles away
Another world I dream of night and day
Watching the moon over the river
Waiting on a bridge almost forever

(Chorus)
For the stars in Siem Reap to come out tonight
Take me where memories still burn bright
Back to the time where our bodies first met
Holding hands under the mosquito net

(Verse 2)
Sharing your stories and hearing your dreams
Showing me you are more than what you seem
Playing my guitar to your smiling eyes
That I think of when I look at the night skies

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
I know this sad song I play (sing) here tonight
About the stars I long for every night
Wait for me on the other side of sleep
Somewhere only we know back in Siem Reap

(Chorus)

This is my first time to record and sing a Tagalog cover song by Maja Salvador. I hope I did it justice with the official minus-one!

Words and Music by: Jonathan Ong

P.S. I really admire your compositions for Maja Salvador, Mr. Jonathan Ong!

Bakit Ganito Ang Pag-Ibig (Maja Salvador Cover)

An original song I composed, sang, arranged, and produced.

Words

(Verse 1)
                       
Here I am sitting on my bed 
thinking of you tonight                            
I said I wasn't gonna write another song but 
you're the only thing on my mind
So with these simple chords that I know
I pour out my heart and soul

(Verse 2)
Trying hard to control the tears
Rolling down my face
It's been days since I last heard from you
You said you needed your space
To be alone to think things through
You disappeared out of the blue 

(Chorus)
I'm sorry babe 
I didn't mean to hurt you
All my words just came out wrong
So afraid to lose you
For things I can't undo
Don't make me cry
Give us a try

(Verse 3)
Photographs of memories of how we were in love
I guess they don't mean much anymore
It hurts just to think about all the sweet times 
that we had together
Can we talk and work things through
Tell me this isn't true

(Repeat Chorus)

Experimenting with the harmony. Special thanks to my guitar teacher, Jeck for his acoustic instrumental interpretation of my song.

You'll Always Be (Original)

By: Ms. Crystalline

Do you remember me?
You gave me my very first kiss 
You held my hand and
Saved me from all my loneliness

I was down 
the day you left town
I was going to miss your beautiful smile
I loved you with all my heart
Even if we were a world apart

Years has passed
Still I think of you

To me 
you'll always be 
seventeen 
with eyes like the sky
You showed me a glimpse of heaven
I never thought I'd find in the this world

I was scared and afraid
I wanted so much to love you
It broke my heart that 
I couldn't give you want you wanted
At that time

These days I cry if I can feel for another 
The way I felt for you
I can't help but wonder if you ever think of me 
Even if you're now with somebody else

I'll never forget that day
I couldn't make you stay

To me 
you'll always be 
seventeen
with eyes like the sky
You showed me a glimpse of heaven
I never thought I'd find in the this world 2x

They say it's hard
To get over first love

You'll Always Be (Original Demo) - Acoustic Version

This is actually my first original song that took me a while to write, produce, and make it come to life.

It's quite a sad song, it's about the moment you're drowning painfully in love, because you've blindly fallen in a sort of unrequited love.

The lyrics are below.

-Ms. Crystalline

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAINFUL LOVE (Original)

VERSE 1
How can you cause me so much pain?
Yet all I can do is love you?
Broken promises, broken trust
Tell me you can fix my heart

VERSE 2
How can I cry so much tears for you?
Yet I'm drowning deep in love . . .
Call me crazy, call me blind
But I see what I want

BRIDGE
I want you
I need you
I'm not giving up on you....

(Spoken)
I reach my arms out to hold you
Only to fall into the deep abyss of your love
Never ending, never more real
Even if it is painful love I feel
You're worth the pain
Because you're everything to me

VERSE 3
How can you cause me so much hurt? 
Yet I'm losing you slowly
Holding on, holding strong
 I will fight for you

(Spoken)
I want you to know that
Even if my heart bleeds for you
At least you know it's here beating, beating.... for you.....

Painful Love (Self-Produced Original Demo)

Sneak peak to the original recording of my new song.  I will have a final version coming up soon.

It's just the electric guitar.

I'm In Love (Self-Produced Original Demo)

Ms. Crystalline started songwriting as a therapeutic and cathartic experience. With cheerful tunes to melancholic lyrics, her first album "To Fall in Love" takes the listener on a journey through the emotional times of falling in love.  She continues to create music to emphasize the importance of the therapeutic healing process through the cathartic use of art. Along the way,  she hopes that in sharing her songs drawn from personal and inspired stories, others can be encouraged to re-claim the creative artist in themselves.
