heard this years ago and had to come back. great song 

i first heard you in 2018. 4 years and i still come back. ( and you're still not on Spotify, how cruel). 

aw man, this is good stuff. wanna write a short scene with this song as prompt.

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

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

New Hannah+Gabi track. From the upcoming album "Years Gone."

Sucks to be Away

how many songs must i write
til i no longer sing for you
how many lies must i say
til i can say the truth

that you’re not in my blood
that i’m somebody new
that you’re not in my blood
oh no, not you

i know it’s gonna be a long way down
but i’ll be on my feet again, soon
i’ll do whatever turns me around
and i will be myself again, soon

i wrote my pen dry
every feeling for you
i let time go by
i was reeling from you

now you’re not in my blood
as much as you were
in my bigger picture
you’re now a blur

and i know it’s gonna be a long way down
but i’ll be on my feet again, soon
do whatever turns me around
and i will be myself again

and i won’t stop
believing love is true, is kind, is existent 
i know it’s just an exercise of patience, oh i know
i know that someone waits for me

=================================

note: i've been talking a lot about all the music i've been writing but the truth is, almost all of the tracks i've made so far just don't satisfy me yet. i wrote and demo'd this within a few hours both as an exercise and as a way of emptying my head so i can work on my other songs. that would be all


in my blood (love is true)

nice to see you could make it tonight
i shook off my feeling uptight
thinking how we were before's
just like how we are now
only happier

guess i'm glad that nothing has changed
no need for a photo framed
to recall how we were before's
just like how we are now
only freer

and someone's gonna take your place inside of my heart
someone's gonna take me away

nice to know that you're doing alright
and we've grown too old to fight
knowing how we were before's 
just like how we are now
that's that

and someone's gonna take your place inside of my heart
someone's gonna take me away
someone's gonna take your place inside of my heart
someone's gonna take me away

note: i am working on an EP!!! (or an album, if i can write enough songs that i'd be satisfied with)

this song is just an exercise, like "in my blood". i wanted to play around with garageband's guitar settings. i won't be including this on the EP, so even though this is a demo, i'd say this is the final version of this song. that would be all 

someone's gonna

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

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

lyrics:
someday, i believe everything will fall into place.
that silver lining i have tried to find all this time.

would you believe or would you leave?
or could you stay?

someday, i believe everything will fall into place.
though some things may try to avert my attention from you,
i know i will pull through.

but, i won't pretend.
time's not really a friend.

so, i try my best to see that at the end of my misery is you.

Pull

All the noises somehow cleared
And all the voices disappeared
Is this another mesmerizing question?
I found myself asking.

Tell me something I don’t know
Cause I have nowhere else to go
I have no one else to blame
Playing all these fragile games

But oh, when you waltz into the room
It’s a turbulence before a plane crash
It doesn’t matter where I land
As long as I can hold your hand

This evening I shall rest my case
Never knowing what to say
My reflections tell me wrong
But I kept pushing far too long

Tell me something I don’t know
Cause I have nowhere else to go
A solitary crow in a murder
Tell me, how much further?

But oh, when you waltz into the room
It’s a turbulence before a plane crash
It doesn’t matter where I land
As long as I can hold your hand

And I will travel faraway between the oceans
Separating our fickle stares and our bashful smiles
Don’t even deny, just give me a try
Cause words won’t be able to bridge me over

Cause your taste fills my senses
With diamond wrenches under the trenches

Backward sailings around my
Norwegian desires
Call it a game

Oh no, my sweet Leona
Don’t you even forget me
Come back, let me say once more:
“This is not goodbye”

This heart is yours for the taking
Don’t you turn your back on me again
Say it, say that you need me
Even if it’s a lie

Oh no, my sweet Leona
Don’t you even forget me
Come back, let me say once more:
“This is not goodbye”

This heart is yours for the taking
Don’t you turn your back on me again
Say it, say that you need me
Even if it’s a lie

Leona

~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)

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
