I Wouldn't Mind

I'm at the beach and I'm all alone, ooh
Sand fills the gap in my toes, ooh
Where the wind blows, no one really knows, ooh
Forgot how it is so tell me how it goes

Under the night sky
Feeling the breeze against my skin
Under the moonlight
Ooh

I wish that you are here with me
Feeling the waves again
Pretend to be who we want to be
All over again

These faces can't compare to you
The feeling I get when I am with you
Why'd you leave and make me feel that I was wrong to fall for you
Now I regret I've ever felt this way

The city lights don't help how I feel, ooh
Counting the days 'till I feel those waves again
I crash in my bed and wish that I forget you
Forget you

Forget You

my backspace button’s worn
from the things i never said
i never can afford
to be casual instead
but if you could be so kind
don’t remind me that i’m blindly hung up over you

do i seem to care too much
with how i pretend not to care
you’re too cool for me
but i guess you’re not aware
that i exist but it’s okay
i’ll be over it someday
you’ll look me in the eye
and i won’t melt right in my place
but i really hate your face
and how it it makes me wanna cry
there’s an ache in my dumb heart
that only passes when you smile
and it shines for miles
it reminds me that i’m blindly hung up over you

would you still be just as kind
if you knew what’s on my mind
i’m stifling a sigh
and i hope she treats you right
and the things i’ll never say
will cease to tear me up inside
the feelings bottled up within
will someday crystallize
into memories so nice
that remind me i was once so hung up over you

backspace me

As we approach our anniversary, here is something to keep you on the edge of your seat! This is a stripped version of our song "Magic". If you like this, wait till you hear the full version. To friends and fans, we love you all. 

Magic

Talking to myself
(Crying for attention or a desperate cry for help)
She is watching as I fall under her spell
She's in to me as far as I can tell

Talking slowly for hours as I lay down on the floor
Keep you warm enough; isn't that what love is for?

Bound by broken starts
The brightest eyes appear as dull and dying stars
"You lied to me you said there was a cure for broken hearts
To my surprise our love ain't tearing me apart"

Babe, that's how I know that it's magic.

Talking to myself,
baby. Desperately I'm searching for your name in shelves
You're the book I'll never finish for myself
You're the girl I'd never ever ever.. (?)

"And I'm falling out of love again"
I never did this before
so I won't let it go.

Tearing up make up from a magazine
But everybody knows that you're so obscene, girl
Strike another pose like or even and share
"But everybody knows that you're self aware"
No.

Di Na Babalik (E. Aguila 2009)

Laging tinitignan
mukha nating dalawa
mga lumang larawan
at mga lumang alaala

dating kinikilig
ngayon ngiti nalang
pinipigilan ang bibig
na sabihing miss kita

'di na babalik ang pagtingin
'di nagwawala ang damdamin

Alam mo naman kasi
sa tagal nating nagsama
kilala mo na ako
nababasa ang aking mukha

buti alam mo
ayoko na kasi ng gulo
masayang masaya ka na
'di na kailangan magkaeksena

'di na babalik ang pagtingin
'di nagwawala ang damdamin

Laging tinitignan
mukha niyong dalawa
sa bagong larawan
ng kasalan niyong langit ang tema


'Di Na Babalik (Demo for Shirley)

you with your headphones on 
i thought i saw
some trace of january's warmth 
on your favorite t-shirt

how it made me wonder why 
you never swing by 
anymore
by my door

you and your tired eyes
now i see in pictures
has it really been this while
since i held you close to me

oh these things are changing fast
some never really last
it happens all the time 
and you've got to make yourself feel fine

Anymore

~tis the season~

on days of rain and of thunder
i make some room on the bed
so i can prepare for companionship
once it's no longer just all in my head

on days of sun and of salt
i sit in the shade and look enviously
at those unafraid of the water
as if they were so different from me

take me to the moon and back, somebody please
i want to know how it feels

on days of work and of thanklessness
how nice it must be to hear,
"hello, how are you, what's wrong
would you like to talk it over a beer?"

it may be so that i'm just a fool
with my lofty fantasies
but it was never for lack of trying 
that love has never come to me

take me to the moon and back, somebody please
i want to know how it feels

(note: i now realize the mixing is quite loud.. i am sorry)

lovelessness

Arranged by Rusty Machines
Written by Iggy San Pablo
Distributed under Wide Eyed Records Manila

Song produced by Nick Lazaro at La Balls Recording Studio

lyrics:
well look how this turned out for the both of us
decided to stay forgetting what went wrong
when you came along it wasn’t easy too
i tried to play it cool but i don’t know

it’s all my fault
i can’t blame anyone else
we don’t have to be so different
i might’ve said too much

i’m sorry for acting on my selfishness
being too caught up on my loneliness

chorus

when the sun goes down
i drown myself 
when you’re not around 
i lose my consciousness

chorus
