The first Christian song I've uploaded. Enjoy!

Beautiful Things (Gungor cover)

"Take off your shoes now, you've come a long way. You've walked all these miles and now you're in the right place." Song's been stuck in my head for quite a while. :) Enjoy!

July (BOY Cover)

Lovebug (by Kali and Benny)

"It's hunting season, and the lambs are on the run, searching for meaning." Begin Again was one of the best movies I've seen so far this year!!! Plus, I couldn't get this song out of my head. So, here's a cover of it. hope you guys like it! (this was recorded with Josh Buizon's Blue Microphones Snowball Mic)

Lost Stars (from the movie Begin Again)

First performed during Faith Vidanes' debut! I finally found time to record it. :) Hope you guys like it! Belated happy 18th, Faith!! <3

Verse:
You are the moon that glows in the sky
Lighting up the world when it's blue
Stars they dance, though late in the night
Don't you know they dance just for you?

There you are, above darkened clouds
Smiling at the world from afar
With the stars, you wander around
May they follow you wherever you are

Here I am, just another boy
Singing songs that others have sung
Tryna find the words to employ
To adore the goddess of love

Pre-Chorus:
Oh, you've got me in a daze yeah,
No, it's not a childish phase
You gave me one look and now I can't get my mind off of you
(And it's all because)

Chorus:
I see the galaxies when I look in your eyes
And I can't speak no I can't speak at all
I swear to Zeus you're Aphrodite in disguise
Don't think that you could hide it from me
No I never thought I'd get this close to someone so divine
Oh I can't breathe no I can't breathe at all
Aphrodite could you could you please be mine,

Verse:
Here you are, I've waited so long
Hoping you would sit down and stay
And with the stars, I'm dancing along
Like a fool, so you'd look this way

You're the moon that glows in the sky
Lighting up my world when it's blue
And here I sing, though late in the night
Hope you know I sing just for you

Aphrodite (collab with Bryant Ayes)

In Memoriam (The Oh Hellos cover)

     Figure it out
.

(Nope, we haven't figured it out either.)

Lyrics:

The old year's gone, the new year's come
The new year's come along with new surprises
Hum, darling hum, darling hum along with me

The old hymn's gone, the old hymn's gone
The song we used to sing has turned to ashes
Hum, darling hum, darling hum (indistinguishable sounds)

From the ashes

We're no phoenix we don't rise up
But baby we pick ourselves back up
We're no phoenix we don't rise up
But baby it's Friday night kind of luck [sic]

So pick it up
Pick it up (3x)

From the ashes

Baby It's Cold Outside (a cover duet with Sary Valenzuela!!!)

The seasons come, the seasons go
No body lasts forever no
We're bound to leave and get left behind;
I'd rather be the one who leaves
And not the one who's left to grieve
The one who's left to lose his mind

And so I write this letter to the Maker, the greatest mystery
To Creator,  the cause of everything

To the God in outer space
Feel my pain and show your face, Oh Lord I don't know
Wise men say you hear my call
Then turn this brokenness 'to something beautiful

The seconds pass, the clock moves slow
Wise men say it takes time to grow 
Well all I need is someone by my side;
No one wants be deceived
Lose faith in something they believe
Deep inside, deep inside

I write this letter to the Maker, there's much I have to say
To Creator, who gives and takes away

To the God in outer space
Feel my pain and show your face, Oh Lord I don't know
Wise men say you hear my call
Turn this brokenness 'to something beautiful

I write this letter to the Maker, who died upon that tree
To Creator, who gave it all for me
Who's tasted death for me

To the God who took my place
How I long to see your face, Lord I want to know
To the God who hears my call
Turn this brokenness 'to something beautiful

The God In Outer Space

Based on the last page of a Stardust, a novel by Neil Gaiman. :) The whole verse is based on lines that Gaiman wrote.

Verse:
Before Time comes and takes what isn't his
Into his storeroom full of dust
Before he comes, Yvaine I'll tell you this
Some things just aren't meant to last

Before Death comes and whispers in my ear
All of the secrets that she keeps
Before she comes, Yvaine please listen, dear
As Stormhold weeps and Faerie sleeps

Pre-chorus:
Take a look back at all the roads we've crossed
We've gone to Babylon by candlelight
And though at times we've gotten lost
Now we're all right

Chorus:
So don't let your eyes get drenched in rain
We did not walk this road in vain
Yvaine
The love we share will never change

My only queen
My fallen star
I love you near
I love you far

Yvaine

Removed all of the effects. I think I might like this version better. What do you guys think?

Yvaine (w/o Effects)

What I'm about to say will take the kind of courage used to
Cut a wire from a bomb
The kinds of things that you will hear, will resemble
A bottle of wine fermented too long

My mouth is dry, I'm up in the sky,
My stomach's starting to dance
Before I die, I have to try,
I'm gonna take the chance

But oh, there's a risk that you'd go away
From the friendship we're enjoying right now
But there might also be regret if we throw away
The more-than-friendship we'd be missing somehow

So...
I was thinking maybe later you would wanna go out?
We could walk around oval as usual, asking what life is about
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together touched my life to the core
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you, and I want to love you more

Tell me tell me tell me tell me how to get to you
Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell what you want me to do

And if you're listening and thinking "Is he talking 'bout me?"
Maybe maybe maybe maybe

You are a work of art
I'm captivated by the things that you do
Though jealous of the man who tries to win your heart
My goal is that he'd envy me too

So...
I was thinking maybe later you would wanna go out?
We could walk, and talk, and travel, read, and watch, and figure out what life is about
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together proved our friendship true
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you, and maybe it's time that you knew
I know for certain that I love you, and I hope you love me too 	 

Maybe (original)

Edge Of Desire (a John Mayer cover)

Cherry Wine (a Hozier cover)

i hear them calling
they're calling out to me
they tell me freedom is here
yeah freedom's finally here

all the while rain is falling
just like notes on a symphony
they tell me not to feel fear
'cause freedom's finally here

'take one bite to take the fall
i'll be right next to you through it all'
with these words i saw
with these words i saw

i once was caged but now i'm free
and i don't really wanna go home
i once was blind but now i see
yeah i don't really wanna go home
i've paid the price, i know the cost
don't preach to me, i know i'm lost
and if my father calls for me
tell him i don't wanna go home

tell me again
what's it like on the other side
are you still living in fear?
aren't we all just human
we turn to dust when we die
sacrifice every year
to please the gods we hold dear

'take one bite to take the fall
we'll be right next to you through it all'
with these words i saw
with these words i saw

i once was caged but now i'm free
and i don't really wanna go home
i once was blind but now i see
yeah i don't really wanna go home
i've paid the price, i know the cost
don't preach to me, i know i'm lost
and if my father calls for me
tell him i don't really wanna go, don't really wanna go home

no i don't wanna go back to where i couldn't run
do you see me now? i've only just begun
i won't stop to lay my head
until i've reached the sun
no i don't wanna go back to where i couldn't run

prodigal's anthem (or 'the gods we hold dear')
