KL City Lights

Stuck in my car,
The traffic still,
And the radio on,

But all I hear,
Is the sound of,
Impatience to get home,

The face that 
Looks back from the
Rear view mirror looks so dreary,

I light another cigarette,
And look out the window,
Time passes so slow,

Then the sun goes down and 
Out come all the KL city lights
And I realize
How beautiful they are

I could lose myself in,
All those KL city lights
Dancing in the sky,
Of a KL city night,
Open my eyes and soak it in,
I know I'll miss it when I'm
Far away, I'll be dreaming
Of the time I'm back in KL...

I open the door,
And tell the driver,
To take me home,

It's nice to know that nothing,
Much has changed,
Cab rides cost an arm and leg,

I'm riding in the back seat,
The taxi driver tells me,
We'll be a little late,

I look out of the window,
Time is passing so slow,
I say it’s ok

Then the sun goes down and 
Out come all the KL city lights
And I’m reminded
How beautiful they are

I could lose myself in,
All those KL city lights
Dancing in the sky,
Of a KL city night,
Open my eyes and soak it in,
I know I'll miss it when I'm
Far away, I'll be dreaming
Of the time I'm back in KL...

KL City Lights (demo)

I Will Sing to You

You say, you wanna live like Oprah,
And no ordinary life will suffice,
You know, that I wanna grow old with you,
I know that's what you want too, so I won't lie,

The big house in the hilltops,
With the garden and the peacocks,
Will always be imaginary things,

No holidays in Timbuktu,
Or bungee jumping from the moon
I highly doubt we'd be riding in a Benz,

I won't promise it'll be perfect,
But I’ll do, all I can...

When it's dark and gloomy,
I will sing,
I will sing till you're asleep,
By my side,
Till you wake,
With a smile,
And when it's dark and gloomy,
I will sing,
I will sing the songs so true,
In our hearts,
I will sing,
I will sing, to
You...

I'll bet, we can make it happen,
With ordinary, simple things in life
Who knows, maybe it'll better,
But for now can we just try to compromise,

How ‘bout quiet weekend getaways,
You drive, and I'll try to stay awake,
Forget the wine; let’s just have each a beer,

We'll hunch over a comic book,
Then watch one of those chick flicks too,
And I'll whisper that I love you in your ear,

I won't promise it'll be perfect,
But I’ll do, all I can...

When it's dark and gloomy,
I will sing,
I will sing till you're asleep,
By my side,
Till you wake,
With a smile,
And when it's dark and gloomy,
I will sing,
I will sing the songs so true,
In our hearts,
I will sing,
I will sing to you,
Till the day I,
Die...

KL City Lights (radio mix)

Psytrus is a t-shirt and jeans kinda guy. Having been in the indie music scene for the past 7 years as frontman of Slunk (now on hiatus), and later embarking on a different musical journey of self discovery. Trading the electric guitar and the expansive gadgetry for an acoustic guitar, Psytrus is baring all. Never being the one afraid to experiment, expect to hear sounds influenced by the alternative 90’s, the psychedelic 60’s and the kitchen sink.

Having made some waves playing solo acoustic, Psytrus eventually started performing with a backing band, The Third Party, (named after an inside joke). The Third Party is occasionally augmented with guest musicians on harmonica, saxophone, piano or violin to add a twist to the arrangement. Whether it’s Psytrus solo, or Psytrus and the Third Party, it all boils down to the story of a man and his guitar, with lyrics from the heart and music from the soul.

Psytrus operates Pulse Soundworks, a recording studio in SS18, Subang Jaya, Malaysia. Since Slunk and Psytrus and the Third Party, he has played/sessioned for numerous acts including FishEye, Rashdan Harith, Salam, Ray Cheong and most recently, HardCandy. Psytrus also writes and composes music for corporate use, most recent being “Atasi Segalanya”, the theme song for the Malaysian Olympic contingent.

If you bump in to him at a local pub playing his favourite covers, don't forget to say hi and buy him a beer.
