I Wouldn't Mind

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

flowers

who’s that boy?
he's tappin by your window
flowers in hand yes he demands another chance
who’s that girl?
hiding by her pillows
bags packed in case
she’s going away forevermore

no good will come from this and i bet
juliet and romeo but not yet
run away my baby
where did u hide?
(x2)

where's your boy?
crying by the stairway
guess it’s too late she left me forevermore
where’s your girl?
flying in her aeroplane
oceans away
babe that’s okay i’ll wait for u

no good will come from this and i bet
juliet and romeo but not yet
run away my baby
where did u hide?
(x2)

never let you go [repeat till end]

flowers by your door got me feeling bored

Flowers

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

Ilang Ylang-Ylang? is a pop collaboration and a way for Mariah Reodica and Jazz Nicolas to fulfill their dreams of being in a Manila Sound band in the 70's.

Arranged, composed, and performed by Mariah Reodica & Jazz Nicolas
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?
