Listening to this and thinking about the girl I'm dating. Hi, Louise!

When will you put this song in spotify? :D

Love this song so much. Hope it's on Spotify soon! 🤍

I always go back to this song just to feel good. : )

you can do anything you want, just don't hurt me

kyaa

with Alden Abaca on drums and Karel Honasan on bass, this song was re-recorded from a college thesis I had made an original score for, some couple of years ago. Now released under the Dakila Artist Collective album to promote awareness on Climate Change, I hope you support the cause as well.

Eventually we'll fall asleep, and dream about these past three weeks,
Or lie awake and dedicate, our thoughts to finding what it means,
But when it is all said and done,
I can't think of anyone else,

Nothing is just as it seems, at least that what it seems to me,
And everybody has a path, but some will walk reluctantly,
Well you can throw your map away, 
Cause I'll be here another day or two

Hope will take its toll
And ignite your soul

 We were told as we grow old, that one day we would find ourselves,
But as we aged, everything changed, and we were locked by different spells,
Well love is such an abstract art, 
And we each have a different part to play

They will find that overtime, that they can't help but play along
And as we wait they hesitate, for fear that something may go wrong,
But when the smoke has finally cleared,
Things are not just as they appeared,

Hope will take its toll
And Ignite your soul

"Run" 

From The Ransom Collective's debut EP, available September 20th, 2014. 

Written, recorded, and produced by the The Ransom Collective, 2014. 

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

Longing For

sunlight used to be in my eyes
until they brought me down 
and started raining, raining
raining on me
everything used to be
so simple and true
it was always about 
always, always
always about me and you

so tell me how do i forget
all the stories we have shared
to each other
why do they bother

cause loving you
is just a dream 
i wouldn't want to wake up from
cause loving you
is the greatest risk I've ever taken
cause loving you
is something they would never understand

yes i do believe 
i do believe in wishing upon a star
i talk to them at night and say
please lead me, lead me
lead me to where things used to be

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)

Recorded at Watusi Studios, Manila (2015-2016)

Hey baby baby, it's been so long
For a second, I thought you had gone
But I always had something on my mind
If I asked you, would you say that you tried?

It's too soon to say that I'm sure
And you're not easily swayed by words anyway

Don't you know? 
I can't keep waiting without knowing what's the deal
So it goes,
And people keep talking without saying what they feel

Just let me know when it's real

Hey baby baby, when you called
I assumed that you knew it all
Thought I spelled it out as clear as day
For me to get to you, what should I say?

Maybe my intentions seem blurred,
And you're not easily swayed by words anymore

(Stop overthinking)
Just let me know when it's real
(You can't change the feeling)
Just let me know when it's real

And my heart's got to decide
I can't keep it inside
And you can't change my mind no more

And people keep on talking without ever saying whatever they truly feel

Let Me Know When It's Real - Ilang Ylang-Ylang?

Discorama Queen

By the time the music's thru, you're gone
then i'm left to carry on alone
You know the crowd, can be really cruel sometimes
when you got no one to hold you in their arms

I could try to look for someone else
But i know that you can never be replaced
I’d  give up this crown and this glorious scepter
Dont wanna be the discorama queen if you're not there

I dont mind playing second best
i dont need the approval of the host and guests
i just want you to keep dancing beside me
i dont mind staying up all night
to loose you in the morning is such a fright
i just want you to keep dancing beside me

I want you to keep dancing with me 3X

Discorama Queen
