X2M - New Manila Sound Album

If you would hold me the way you used to do
I'd turn away and make you look like a fool
If only you would kiss me my heart will melt inside
But baby I will set emotions aside

And even if you beg and plead
And try to sweep me off my feet... no, no, no
It's not enough to see you try
I'd prob'ly let you fall down and cry

This time it's over, can't you understand?
When we go out you won't be holding my hand no more
No need to wonder what is there to feel
The emptiness I'll leave behind you will be so real

It's about time you realize not everything's about you
And it's just right for I am so much better off without you

X2M - Beg & Plead

I called you up last night
You said that you were just a bit confused
But lately I have noticed
You're missing out on things we used to do

I know there's something wrong
I feel it every time you hold me close
And when you kiss my lips
You try to hide it but somehow I know

Don't show me that you sympathize
And make me live a world of lies
Just let me know if you don't love me anymore
Don't ever look into my eyes
Coz I can see right through your smile
Somehow I know that you don't love me anymore

I only live to love you
I just thought that I should let you know
If you don't feel the same way
Don't ever be afraid to let me go

X2M - Just Let Me Know

Bakit ba 'di mo aminin sa akin ay may pagtingin?
'di naman ako nangangain pasulyap-sulyap sa akin
Lagi kang nambibitin

Bakit 'di mo aminin na may gusto ka rin sa akin? (Pakipot ka lang)
Akala mo ba ako'y nagbibiro?
Bakit 'di mo makita na gusto kitang kasama (hindi ko alam)
Ano ba'ng kailangang kong gawin

Bakit ba 'di mo masabi halata naman sa iyong ngiti
Kailangan pa ba akong makiusap mga mata'y nangungusap
At ako't nangangarap

Isang libo't isang tawag na ang aking nagawa
Na-'delete' mo ba ang number ko?
Ngunit kahit masayang ang oras
Ikaw ay hihintayin ko

X2M - Aminin

What's that thing you've been trying to say?
...you know I'm not listening anyway
What's that thing looming over your head?
...it's messing up everything you've said

Why did you make me stay on the line
...just to tell me you're doing fine?
Why did you never say
...you had these feelings all this time?

If you could see it in his eyes would you take it?
If she's the one that you despise would you fake it?
And if I could see beneath the disguise could we make it?
Then maybe we won't keep asking questions...

What's that game you've been trying to play?
...you know I'm not interested anyway
Why're you keep asking what's goin' in my head?
...when you should be worrying 'bout yours instead

Why did you make me wait on the line
...and be the one to complain and whine?
Why did you never stay
...when you had these feelings all this time?

What's with all these questions?
Does it even matter anymore?
Could I prob'ly make a suggestion?
I will just be fine if you leave me alone this time

X2M - Twenty Questions

Lahat ng aking pagtingin ay sa'yo nakalaan
Kung mayroon kang nanaisin ay lagi kang pagbibigyan

Ngunit bakit ka biglang lumisan?
Ito ba ay aking kasalanan?
Bakit mo ako iniwang nagiisa

Nagiisa
Lumisan ka't ako'y nasaktan
Nagiisa
Hinahanap hanap pa rin kita

Dati'y napansin ko na nakita ko sa'yong mga mata
Yakap mo'ng damang dama dahandahan nang nawawala

Kahit di mo man sabihin
Sa kilos mo'y malinaw na nakikita
Di ko na nadarama ang lambing sa ‘yong halik

X2M - Nagiisa

I don't feel like eating breakfast or dinner at night
Without you on my sight
I don't feel like shaking my stress away
Don't wanna dance in the rhythm of sway
Uhuh uhuh

I look like a madman, with my head spinning round and round
I feel like a dead man, going down 6 feet underground

Chorus:
Coz I've been feeling blue without
And all the skies are gray now that you're not on my way
And I need you to come closer
And I need you to hold me tighter
Come on, Come on

I'm not being clingy but don't be stingy
Give me all of your time 
I'm not really easy but I just want you to know that you don't have to take me for a wine and dine

I sound so desperate when I talk like this
Come and stop it, put your mouth on my lips
Give me one sweet kiss, give me one sweet kiss

Repeat Chorus



Come on by Kim Collado ft. Ace Dyamante

Fool's Paradise - Electrodemo (instrumental)

X2M: Ten to Midnight is New Manila Sound:  Classic melodies in a Modern Arrangement, with a little bit of Pop, Jazz and RnB mixed into a solid form distinctive of the 80s Manila Sound.

X2M was formed on January 1, 2009 when AJ and X met and jammed for the first time.  The name came from the fact that they technically became a band at Ten to Midnight of that same day.

X2M humbly began when AJ Antonio sent X (aka, matanglawin at PhilMusic) a private message with regards to an essay X wrote.  The two later met and jammed for the first time, each armed with several songs both have written over the years.  That night, at ten to midnight, over beer, wine and "pulutan," the Band, X2M was born.

The band remains low profile, performing mostly during SongwirtersPh's "Songwriters' Night", with mostly online presence on Facebook and their website (http://TentoMidnight.webs.com).  The Band has released their first album on June of 2011 and is currently working on their second.  Their first album contain 5 Tagalog songs, written by AJ, and 4 English songs written by X.  They collaborated on the 5 English song.    

X2M promotes the power of online collaboration and home recording.  During live performances, X2M is joined currently by Andrew Harder on Bass, Joven Palencia on Drums (Randy Arevalo alternates), Marvin Bea and Sander Briones alternating on Rhythm.  AJ plays Lead Guitar and X is on vocals.  Janine Liao also stands in for Keyboards, and as the Band's female vocals.
