bashs

you know i get scared sometimes

A loose rendition of Megumi Acorda's I'll Get by recorded in between school classes.

I'll Get By (Cover)

this is my set that was for a benefit gig by munimuni called 'gabi ng gabay'

I Dont Wanna Be Alone Stripped (an Original)

Waiting for the feeling to come back again
Don't know how you could misunderstand

Would rather burn like a witch at the stake
Than try my best to sit still down and relate

Sometimes I feel like...
I've got no friends...

Waltz Of Four Left Feet

A song about finding meaning

LYRICS:
Panahon
May mga sikretong binubulong
Kung lumipas na ba
Takdang oras na nakalaan

Sa atin
At parang ihip lang ng hangin
Tayo’y lilisan din
At kailanma’y di maiintindihan

Bakit pilit inaagaw
Ng tadhana ang bukas na tinatanaw
Kung ang buhay ay byaheng balikan
Bakit papunta pa lang ito’y tutuldukan

Ano kayang dahilan?

Panahon
Kay bilis lang minsan na di natin
Namamalayang nasayang
Oras natin sa paghihintay

Sa magpakailanman
At kapag ating naintindihan
Huli na ang lahat
Kaya’t sulitin ang bawat pagkakataon

Kahit pilit aagawin
Ng tadhana ang landas na tatahakin
Wag kang matakot
Mundo ay umiikot
Anumang kalabasan ng kinabukasan

Lahat ng bagay may dahilan

Awitin natin, sa mga bituin
Na ang kalangitan ay magpahiwatig sa atin
Ng liwanag, kanyang kaalaman
Na ang lahat ng bagay ay may dahilan

Lahat ng bagay, may dahilan


Dahilan

you
i saw your face in june
you didn't have a clue of my infatuation

clues that i gave out to you
you took my bait it seemed so easy
you've made it very easy

did i ever expect to get out of my recent wreck?
will we ever expect to get out of our recent wreck?

i did not expect a response
from a girl of distance and 
an obedience to my affectations

did you ever expect to get out of your recent wreck?
will we ever expect to get out of our recent wreck?

please, tell me about your day.


June

--
spent my winters trying to get warm 
because all my days were spent in your cold palms 
can’t tell the weather, but my head's in the clouds 
you told me "hold me closer and they won't find out" 

I've got my hands tied behind my back and 
I cant change the fact that 
I have rearranged myself to be there always 
all you gave me was the cold on your shoulder; can't do this any longer 
moments felt like it took forever, I know I should have known better 

tulad ng salitang sa gitna may gitling 
ramdam ko pag malayo ako sa 'yong piling 
magkatabi pero malayo pa rin 
kahit kailan sana tayo naman ay magkahulugan

A few things about the province life in the Philippines.
production by Harlow Beats

What's up? Timmy Tim's gonna tell a short story 'bout a kid who lived in a little town. I'ma tell you 'bout a probinsyano boy, used to play with his toys, made noise, and he turned it down. He lived the probinsyano life. Ever witnessed going home with stars so bright at night? Chillin' in Manila, but he's repping from the north, courts outdoor when the boy ballin', running back and forth.
He used to live with his grandma, had the asthma, but he wants to fucking run to Alabama. The boy first spit bars on a stage, with the hype to play no games, and he was just feeling it.
Spittin it, shit.. and the crowd was hella psyched.
"What's wrong with the world, mama?" hands on the mic.
It's like Kim Chui finally found her Mister Right, little Tim bowling his first strike.
(Ummm, nice..)
The little boy was thirteen years old, young, cold, bold, and his story just unfolded.
Got a big head, but with God he's healed, he's forgiven.
Changing this game is his mission.
I know the Philippines is not the perfect place, but take a look around, I'm telling you it's no mistake. Chill, surf in beaches, take a tour or simply bake, man.. This is the life. The probinsyano life.
The probinsyano life, call this little thing the probinsyano life.

Sounding absurd, he spoke curse words that were unheard in the city.
Witty feeling's tellin' him to feel the pride cause he has his own dialect.
Rubbed his neck, told himself he's gonna be the best.
The kid would start fishin' in the rivers, pretty deep. He would jump or just ride in the back of a jeepney, feeling free, paying eight pesos for the ride. Having fun, little Timmy feeling good vibes.
At home, all he does is watch the Game of Thrones, chillin in the summer weather, keep the AC on.
Call a couple homies, tell em' brodies he's alone. Play some Call of Duty on a PS4. Yo, at noon, all he does is chill up in his room looking through the view while he feels a little lazy too.
Eating Sinigang na baboy, munching with the crew, it's hot, but he's feeling pretty cool.
Shit, it's LIT!
The province life, he's really missing it. Biking with the lovely sunsets when he was a kid. Feeling sentimental 'cause he hasn't been at home, yo his province life was real dope! (NOPE)
He's simply deviant, the culture's fucking different.
The bigger buildings, type of living makes him look so innocent.
A citizen, little Tim ain't really gonna lie,
back in high-school Timmy lived the probinsyano life.

The Probinsyano Life

Tama na ang Drama

Di Na Babalik

Lyrics and music by Andrew James Jiao
(C) 2017

Old dreams and new places
Stable ground in changing times

My concept of home is not bound by space
Place is just part of it
I have been to far too much places to
Even make sense of it

I've been looking for some strange irony
Just to keep myself sane
So I ventured out to the coast so I
Can sail my troubles away

Old dreams and new places
Stable ground in changing times

Every part of me, there's an imprint of
Something I couldn't see
Mixed up with all the traces of the past
And all I wanted to be

I have learned that life is more than just a fight
For something that I believe
'Cause there's a space in this heart that longs for
Even a small ounce of peace

Old dreams and new places
Stable ground in changing times

Old Dreams and New Places

Nobody wants to be the one who breaks bad news
But is it better when it’s bad news for two?
I had a feverish nightmare that resembled life so close
That when it ended there was nothing else for me to do but laugh

And after all this talk of empathy
You still don’t cry at the movies
And if you’ve found a part of me to hide
Then good luck, don’t let me down

I dreamt we were at a party
You were in your favorite shoes
You leaned in close 
but I couldn’t hear what you were saying

So we stepped outside
And the moon was bright
You looked me in the eye
And all you had to say was

Sha la la la la…

Tagos (2019)

Langit Lupa Impyerno

When you don't have anything left to say, or anything to say at all.

lyrics:
I can’t seem to collect my thoughts or try to catch my breath
Both heart and mind run when thoughts of you start running in my head
I’m stunned, I’m lost in space, and this goes on for quite a while
And all I seem to muster up is a quiet little smile

I’m sorry, but don’t blame me if I have nothing left to say
‘Cause no words can ever hold 
No words can ever hold what you mean to me

I’m terrified of screwing up and making a mistake
‘Cause when I talk about you, I can’t miss a single thing
I can’t seem to say anything without looking like a mess
But with you, I have no worries because somehow I’ll make sense

I’m sorry, but don’t blame me if I have nothing left to say
‘Cause no words can ever hold 
No words can ever hold what you mean to me

No words can ever hold you
No words can ever hold your love
No words can ever hold you, love
