Nueva Era

Dying to Live is an emotionally compelling and uplifting EP that tells a powerful story of facing terminal cancer with unwavering faith, hope, and joy. It features Jos’ first four singles, including A Little Bit of Joy - a heartfelt pop song about choosing joy in the midst of hardship. Written during a songwriting retreat in Malaga alongside acclaimed songwriter Jeff Franzel (pianist for Frank Sinatra), the happy melody was crafted to bring a smile and inspire positivity even in life’s toughest moments.

The EP also includes the instrumental version of A Little Bit of Joy, offering a fresh perspective on the song’s inspiring spirit. 

Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, Dying to Live showcases a blend of heartfelt storytelling and exceptional production quality. 


Dying To Live (Jos McLaren) (Track 1)

“Perhaps” is a heartfelt ballad featured in the Da Ai Television drama “The Six of Us.” Set against a rainy city backdrop, the song portrays a quiet struggle between holding on and letting go. With delicate melodies and honest lyrics, “Perhaps” captures the lingering obsession and unanswered questions left behind by a love that couldn't be saved—each line hitting right where it hurts.

〈難道〉為大愛劇《我們六個》插曲，是一首關於愛情與遺憾的抒情作品。以雨天的城市為背景，寫下放不下對方的執念與自問。旋律細膩、詞意真摯，勾勒出那些曾深愛卻無力挽回的瞬間——每一句，都直擊心底最柔軟的地方。

歌詞：
那條人潮洶湧的街道　旁邊是斑駁的學校圍牆
當時雨水有多猖狂　當時我又有多心慌

一個不經意的呼吸　一句不該說的話
原來心冷之後　回憶就輕鬆被打倒

聽朋友談論你的近況　笑著佯裝沒有不好
沉默不語嘴角上揚　也許是最好的回答

難道是我不夠好　難道是我不可靠
曾經發誓成為你的小島
你卻要我別再叨擾

難道我們不重要　你不知道我有多懊惱
過去讓它過去是最蠢的玩笑
我做不到

後來我獨自走在那街道　怕在轉角看見你的微笑
你給了誰溫暖擁抱　誰代替了我的胸膛
好好把回憶收藏　好好把過去忘掉
多年後我也不過是　一張模糊的臉龐

記得我會仔細哀悼　我們荒廢的城堡
也許在某一個夢中　我又成為你主角

難道是我不夠好　難道是我不可靠
曾經發誓成為你的小島
你卻要我別再叨擾

難道我們不重要　你不知道我有多懊惱
過去讓它過去是最蠢的玩笑
我做不到

難道

Quiero Creer

“My Patient Tears” is a heartfelt ballad about identity, resilience, family, and unconditional love. With intimate verses and a soaring chorus, it captures the quiet ache of waiting to be seen and accepted by those closest to us (in this case - children of transgender parents). Built around a strong female vocal, the song balances raw vulnerability with strength, weaving tender acoustic guitar, warm piano, and gentle strings into a timeless soundscape. Both deeply personal and universal, “Patient Tears” is a story of holding space for love, even through silence and distance.

My Patient Tears

A haunting journey into the mind of a man obsessed with a love that exists only in his dreams.  the album paints a surreal portrait of emotional escapism—where the lines between memory, fantasy, and madness blur. Each track is a confession to 'Echo,' the spectral lover who vanishes with the dawn, leaving behind only the ache of what might have been.

Drowning in the Shallows

“Calling Out to You” is an intimate acoustic worship song that captures the raw, vulnerable cry of a heart reaching for God in the quiet places of surrender. Built around delicate fingerstyle guitar and breathy, emotional vocals, the song moves from emptiness to encounter — from the ache of striving to the peace of grace. Each verse unfolds like a prayer whispered into stillness, rising into a chorus that feels both desperate and deeply hopeful. It’s the sound of being found again by love that never leaves.

Lyrics

Verse 1
I’ve walked some roads that left me dry
Felt the ache when hope had died
Tried to fill my heart with highs
My way, my world — just empty lies

Now I’m here with open hands
No more running, no more plans
All I want is something true
A glimpse of love — a touch of You

Chorus 1
I’m calling out to You
With everything I am
I’m reaching through the silence
To touch Your healing hand
I’m calling out to You
My heart’s been torn in two
But if there’s breath inside my lungs
I’ll spend it calling out to You

Verse 2
You found me in my terror nights
Where shadows danced in moonlit light
You run full speed into my fear
Settling my soul like a grazing deer

I’ve tried to fix what I couldn’t mend
You meet me where the pieces end
And in that quiet, I can see
You never once gave up on me

Chorus 2
I’m calling out to You
With everything I am
I’m reaching through the silence
To touch Your healing hand
I’m calling out to You
My soul’s alive and new
Every tear that ever fell
Now leads me closer into You

Bridge
Let Your presence flood this space
Like rain upon my face
Wash away what’s left of me
Until it’s only grace I see

You’re closer than my breath can be
You’re the song inside of me

Chorus 3
I’m calling out to You
With everything I am
I’m reaching through the silence
To touch Your healing hand
I’m calling out to You
‘Cause You’re the one who’s always true
Every beat inside my chest
Still beats because of You

I’m calling out to You…

Calling Out to You

Like You Do

When You Were Mine

A cinematic spoken-word performance built around the metaphor of life as a film. “Life like a Movie” drifts through memories, missed cues, abandoned storylines, and characters we once were — all unfolding in a slow, atmospheric narration. With minimal music supporting the emotional weight, each line feels like a frame from a movie we’re still trying to understand.
A reflective, haunting piece for fans of dramatic poetry and cinematic storytelling.
