Curbside Romance (demo)

when you float, you can see
all around
don't look down

when you're down on your knees
and afraid, go look up

in the arms of the one that you love,
i hope that you breathe in all you want,
all you can, but don't drown

started markmuffins initially as a lofi/indie rock project back in 2018. i'd consider myself naive to whatever sonic landscapes i could've potentially dabbled on but i was happy with my former output/s. fast forward to today, where current events + thinking about the future of this project just drains me.

id like to consider this EP to be a short(?) farewell, to dabble on other sounds i'm interested in exploring. (pls look forward to them!)

recorded in the span of 6 months, a 'moodboard' of how i'd want this project to sound like.

paalam!

Nice Choreography

(Niza Coreografía)

Hold me closer, feel my steady feet
Twirl and kiss your cheeks and then repeat
Turning to a nice choreography
'Til the music stops, let's wait and see

Circling the floor, dimming the lights
What is this for? - Dreaming tonight
With other folks dancing in beat
Why will you want to go back to your seat?

Holding back, deciding what to do with me tonight
Going with the flowing and deciding what to do with me

Tonight I think I want to stay asleep
I'll avoid all of the wide and busy streets
Turning to a nice catastrophe
Please do not disturb just let me be

So

Did you memorize your lines?
Did you memorize your moves?
Did you memorize your whole routine?

Do you memorize your lies?
Do you think that I'm a fool?
Do you really think I couldn't see?

Nice Choreography

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

artwork by Ryōichi Ikegami

anymore

you came by when i was looking for a place to stay
to my surprise you let me stick around all day
i know i can't keep you, you're not mine
but i like to pretend i'm worth your time

when it's late i wait for you to come around and say 
"hey, it's okay to stay" so i stop feeling down all day
i know i can't keep you, i'm not yours
but i like to pretend it's something more

more? (demo)

We're trying new things! First song for 2016

Recorded in Garageband

writing these feelings down for you to forget
swearing him off to suppress your regret
you think you gave him everything
but that’s the reason you’re suffering

we can’t always have it our way 
the stars align darling but not in a day

looking at places where you thought you’d find
that lover who would understand your mind
don’t keep on wasting your time
longing for boys with their petty clever lines

when did you lose your sight?
on the concrete you’ve fallen hard,
with no maps to guide you, i’d get lost too

reading the pages of your memories
from blots and creases of your old diary
that’s when you realized what was real
you had to die just to feel

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

yego nepomuceno - guitars

james marco - drums
kean reformado - production, mixing

you are the ocean
a floating secret in the sea
you are the spirit
of the voices echoing mine

you are a chapter
the last one on my mind
floating in circles
your face is stuck in my eyes

this room is empty
and all i can do is smile
her mind's divided
maybe she's just empty inside

i am devoted to you
i don't know but i do
i swear i'd die for you
i do

just say that you're mine
and i'll be okay
i wouldn't know how it'll be arranged
just say that you're mine
day after day
hour after hour
week after week
i'll pray
