Written for my sister Denice on her 18th birthday.

This song was originally written for my Mom, but I tweaked the verses to make it more applicable. Hope my sister doesn't mind sloppy seconds for a song hahar!

Code of Kin
Original song by Reese Lansangan

Verse I:

Sister Sister, come outside, I'll show you
There's a big, big world that's waiting to get to know you
And we we will run, we will run, run run

Come now sister, dont be afraid
Just say what you want, don't let that flicker fade
Don't be afraid

Chorus I:

Cause you've got your beautiful mind, you're a warrior 
Young and brave enough to pick your fights, to pick your fights
Let the salt water give you brand new eyes
So all you come home to is this side of paradise

Verse II:

Sister sister back inside I'll hold you
Don't believe the lies the lions told you
And little one are you torn apart
by the past that haunts your heart
Oh we will, we will run

Chorus II:

Cause you've got the strong strong heart of a soldier
So anchor all your dreams to the skies
Let the salt water give you brand new eyes
So all you come home to is this side of paradise


Bridge:

Sister if they shame your honor
Take your words and make it your armor now
Sister won't you curse the day
When they try to take your soul away from you now

Chorus III:

Cause your spirit is a spirit made of iron
Unbreakable by pain or lies
Let the salt water clear your tired, tired eyes
So all you could see is this side of paradise

Outro:

Sister Sister, come outside, I'll show you
There's a big, big world that's waiting to get to know you
And we we will run, we will run, run run

Lyrics: 

VERSE 1

I fidget in my seat when you begin appearing
Your black frames make you so endearing
If you want the truth, I just really really want 
To stare at you while I pretend to like the boy beside you

But then I know you're with this pretty girl
You're single but unavailable
So I have to shut my mouth and be discreet
But I still think you're neat, and sweet

To eat some cupcakes with you after class
I'd ask you but I'd hate to seem so awfully fast
And you're on the phone again
Calling up your very very special friend
Who'll never be me

CHORUS

Boy, I think we'd look good together 
I'd share you my umbrella in the stormy weather
We'll march inside the classroom causing quite a stir
How could an ugly girl get such a handsome man beside her?

Be my trophy boy, while you have an affair
Go frolic with your girl at night, I'm ready to share
I shouldn't care so much, because all I could do 
Wait for another trophy boy who's so much cuter than you

VERSE 2

I wish that I could rest my chin upon your manly shoulders
Tell you all about my day and bug you over and over
But I know you're with this really pretty girl
Cause you're so single but so unavailable (seriously, wtf)

Oh you look so good when you're writing things down
Imagine all the things we'd do if we could shake up this town
Together, on the phone again
Calling up your very very special friend
Who'll never ever be me

CHORUS 

Oh boy,  I think we'd look good together
I'd share you my umbrella in the stormy weather
We'll march inside the classroom causing quite a stir
How could an ugly girl get such a handsome man beside her

Be my trophy boy, while you have an affair
Go frolic with your girl at night, I'm ready to share
I shouldn't care so much, because all I could do 
Wait for another trophy boy who's so much cuter than you

BRIDGE

Oh I'll never get to say hello
Because a girl isn't supposed to show
Just how much she thinks about a boy
Who doesn't even know 
She's sitting in the back row
Watching

And as psycho as this seems to be
I'm not asking for too much, please agree
I just want to be friends with you
Go down the stairs with you
I'm perfectly content with small talk

CHORUS

Ed Sheeran is a brilliant singer / songwriter and although I adore his + album, it's my first time recording a cover of one of his songs. Small Bump is such a tender and fragile song, and I sincerely hope I did good in this cover!

LISTEN WITH EARPHONES, I BEG OF YOU!

Small Bump (Ed Sheeran Cover)

This song makes me so happy. And always makes me think of mushrooms, hence the track art. Haha! I experimented with a few other real and software instruments. Somewhere in the track, you'll hear parallelisms with some parts in NBSB. 8D 

A silly video version of this cover is in the works.

Mushaboom! (Feist Cover)

Reese Lansangan is an indie pop-folk artist who writes songs about good grammar, creepy stalkers, and the solar system among other things. 

Slightly crude and sometimes crass, she’s relentless in letting the world know of her opinion. With her signature wit, tongue-in-cheek humor, and vocal looping prowess, Reese commands the stage with her awkward banter and her ability to connect with people who appreciates general weirdness, injected into pop earworms.
