Do you remember your first date?
This song could sum up most of my first dates too.

You know how it goes: you rehearse what to say, try to act cool, be smooth, be funny — basically hold it together just long enough to impress her.
And then she walks in. Looking like actual sunlight. And my brain just.. blue screens. No chill. No words. No survival.

She smiled, and I panicked.
I became a sweaty, overthinking clown trapped in a polite meltdown spiral.

Meanwhile, her?
She was effortless. Calm. Just sipping her drink like she wasn’t sitting across from a malfunctioning anxiety robot trying to flirt.

And now, of course, there’s a song about it.

Maybe you’ve had a date like that too?
If so, this one’s for you. 🤍


[Lyrics]

My mind spinning, round and around, oh my
What if she finds me boring, just the same?
What if she leaves before she speaks my name?

My mind plays out a thousand things I’ll say
But knowing me, I’ll mumble or look away
I bet my voice will crack like shattered glass
Or I’ll say hey and somehow call her lass

Now, I see a bright light, approaching slow
My breath just stops—I might lose control
My mind drifting, is that? she’s real? not a dream? oh my

She walks like time just slows to let her through
While I stand frozen—what am I to do?
I know that face—why’s my chest so tight?
Is this panic or sweet delight
I blink once, twice and thrice—she’s still in sight
Geez, she’s glowing like the moon last night

Please focus, don’t drift away
She’ll think I’m dumb if I don’t know what to say
Pay attention, don’t let it show
That I’m too lost in her just watching her glow
I need to hold on, escape this daze
Or she’ll call me out for my weird blank gaze
Don’t freeze, don’t choke—don’t, mess this up
Before it's too late

Her lips are moving, I hear her sweet tune
But not the meaning—my brain’s marooned
My mind distracted, her hair, her lips, and her eyes, oh my

She talks, I nod, pretend I’m real smart
But truth be told, she’s melting my heart
She asks me things—my brain hits delete
I nod too much—Geez, why can’t I speak?
She tilts her head, I blink and choke
Why did I just laugh? That wasn’t a joke

Please focus, don’t drift away
She’ll think I’m dumb if I don’t know what to say
Pay attention, don’t let it show
That I’m too lost in her just watching her glow
I need to hold on, escape this daze
Or she’ll call me out for my weird blank gaze
Don’t freeze, don’t choke—don’t, mess this up
Before it's too late

Her lashes flutter, I try to meet her warming gaze
But now my thoughts are lost.. inside a maze
My mind’s enchanted, who is this dazzling light? oh my

I swore I’d keep my cool and play it right
But now I’m drowning deep in her delight
Breathe! breathe
Speak! speak
Don’t let her see! see
That I’m hypnotized, while sipping my tea
If beauty’s a crime, then lock her away
I’ll stare ‘til I vanish, lost in the sway

Please focus, don’t drift away
She’ll think I’m dumb if I don’t know what to say
Pay attention, don’t let it show
That I’m too lost in her, just watching her glow
I need to hold on, escape this daze
Or she’ll call me out for my weird blank gaze
Don’t freeze, don’t choke—don’t mess this up
Before it's too late

I should turn away—yeah, that’d be right
But here I stay, just lost in her.. lovely light
But my mind knows.. knows, it knows, it knows

She’s pretty, she’s glowing.. she’s out of my league
While I am the king of all nervous fatigue
She’s stunning, she’s perfect.. she’s all that I lack
While I am the clown in a panic attack

Please focus, don’t drift away
She’ll think I’m dumb if I don’t know what to say
Pay attention, don’t let it show
That I’m too lost in her just watching her glow
I need to hold on, escape this daze
Or she’ll call me out for my weird blank gaze
Don’t freeze, don’t choke—don’t, mess this up
Before it's too late
Before it's too late

First Date: Error 404

[Hook]
We talkin’ in circles, nerves on display
Sayin’ too much when there’s nothin’ to say
Your lips movin’ fast, but mine got a plan
Let me show you somethin’ better than a man who just stands
Still — close that gap, no script, no bluff
Maybe next time, you’ll kiss more, and talk less, love

[Verse 1]
Yeah, you laughin’ at jokes that ain’t even land
Sippin’ your wine while you gesture your hands
I get it — it’s nerves, not a lack of control
You cute when you ramble, but girl, I know the goal
I ain’t here for a TED Talk, let’s cut the suspense
You flirt like a poet, but I read past the tense
I’m leanin’ in slow, while you quote some stats
Like, “Did you know octopuses dream?” — what’s that?
You’re brilliant, I swear, but I’m losin’ my mind
One more fact drop and I’m pressin’ rewind
So hush just a sec — let me rewrite the scene
With lips, not lines, I know just what you mean

[Hook]
We talkin’ in circles, nerves on display
Sayin’ too much when there’s nothin’ to say
Your lips movin’ fast, but mine got a plan
Let me show you somethin’ better than a man who just stands
Still — close that gap, no script, no bluff
Maybe next time, you’ll kiss more, and talk less, love

[Verse 2]
Now it’s me droppin’ lines like I’m fillin’ the space
Tryna charm, tryna win, tryna match your pace
You keep changin’ the subject when I inch in close
“Did you always wear glasses?” Girl, who even knows?
The vibe’s been beggin’ for a plot twist move
We’re trippin’ on convo when the rhythm is smooth
I ain’t rude, I just know when to cut to the chase
And you smilin’ like you dare me — that look on your face
So I pause mid-word, pull you outta your speech
Let my mouth do the rest, girl, lesson complete
Now your hands on my chest, and the air got thick
You finally quiet, and I’m lovin’ it quick

[Hook]
We talkin’ in circles, nerves on display
Sayin’ too much when there’s nothin’ to say
Your lips movin’ fast, but mine got a plan
Let me show you somethin’ better than a man who just stands
Still — close that gap, no script, no bluff
Maybe next time, you’ll kiss more, and talk less, love

[Verse 3]
Now silence the anthem, tension released
Eyes closed, breaths synced, chatter decreased
You lean back stunned, then you bite your lip
No punchline needed — you caught the script
Maybe next time, you won’t list your fears
Or tell me your dreams for the next ten years
Just let it unfold, let the chemistry run
We can whisper later, but tonight — this is fun
’Cause I ain’t tryna marry you over one drink
But I am tryna make you forget how to think
So here’s to less talk, more vibe, no fuss
One kiss in, and you lean in — hush…

[Outro]
Next time we meet, skip the nervous test
No quiz, no facts, just lips, no stress
I’ll bring the charm, you bring that dress
And maybe you’ll kiss more… and talk a little less

Talkin’ Us Outta It

Most men overcomplicate first dates — or worse, wing it without a plan. In this video, I break down the three elements that make a first date not just good, but unforgettable: intrigue, comfort, and logistics.

Whether you’re new to dating or looking to sharpen your skills, these principles will help you date like a pro and dramatically increase your chances of getting a second date.

The Scientific Truth About Marriage & Attraction

84: How to ace a first date (by two very different daters)

Amore

First Date (Slowed & Reverb)

A slow-burn pop/R&B story about the moment you think love is done… and then one quiet night changes everything.
"Steady In Your Stride" follows a tired heart rediscovering its spark — the soft glance across a room, the gentle laughter, the drive home replaying every second, and the text you hope for but never expect.

Minimal, emotional, honest.
A song about second chances, subtle chemistry, and the magic of meeting someone who wakes up a feeling you thought was gone.

If you’ve ever felt that tiny shift — that calm, quiet moment that hits deeper than fireworks — this one’s for you.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I'd been running circles
Just drifting day to day
Thought that love was over
Too far and slipped away
Then I saw you enter
So gentle and so sure
Something in your presence
Felt peaceful, soft and pure

[Chorus]
You move soft and steady in your stride
Your laugh warm and easy, open-eyed
No rush in the moment, no pressure in the air
Just a quiet comfort I didn't know was there
You carried something quiet in your stride
Waking up that abandoned feeling inside

[Verse 2]
We were talking gently
A quiet little place
You were telling stories
I memorized your face
Then I drove you homewards
Still hearing how you laughed
Didn't know the echo would linger on my path

[Chorus]
You move soft and steady in your stride
Your laugh warm and easy, open-eyed
Still no revelation, no lightning in the air
Just a simple feeling settled in soft and fair
You were moving lightly, steady in your stride
And a feeling was growing by my side

[Bridge]
Driving through the quiet
Heart pushing me toward you
Wanted to text what a night
But I held back playing cool
Then my phone lit softly glowing in the night
Every hidden feeling opened into light
You wrote tonight was magic
And everything felt true
Something lost for ages rose up and broke through

[Outro]
Then my phone lit dimly
Yet again in the night
And you wrote I hope we meet again
Maybe tomorrow night
Maybe tomorrow night

Hey! I’m Vala — and that goofy goofball next to me? That’s Q. Together, we’re Va'q. 💫
We make mushy, gushy, hearty songs about our past, present, and future — with a little help from AI.

Our music is rooted in real emotion: how we met, our first dance, first date… the fears, joys, and ridiculous thoughts we both seem to share. (We’re basically the same person. 🤪)

Q writes most of the time, and I pitch in with guitar or piano when the vibe’s right. He plays bass too — though that poor thing’s been gathering dust lately. 🤐

We’re into jazz, all kinds of rock, and love dabbling in new genres when the mood strikes. 🎷🎸

Our songs often feel like short stories. They may run a little long, but they come straight from the heart. More than anything, we hope our music reaches your heart — even just one song. If you feel seen, understood, or moved — that’s a win for us. 💕

Give us a heart, and we’ll keep pouring ours into every next song.
Much love from us —
Va'q ❤
