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

Weathered Hands

Re-recording of this 2003 song with Ted Key (Organ) and Adrian Secker (Piano). Adrian has played live with us a couple of times this year so it was a project to recreate the live sound in the studio. Back in 2003 there was no streaming and the original recording (song title 'Jack Johnson' ) was on CD and received local radio airplay for a few weeks. Spotify wouldn't accept a song titled with another artists name - hence the title change.

Jack Johnson

Driving up the Kawera gorge to Queenstown
Looking out the windows at the cars
Then you go and make a small commotion
Pointing out the V-dub that went past

Did you think you saw Jack Johnson
Did you see a surfboard and guitar
I think you’ve had way to much my friend
Cause everybody here looks like a star

Coronet is lovely as an ice cream
We’re carving up the snow having a ball
Then you go and make a small commotion
Pointing out a cool dude on a board

Sunday and we’re on the beach hung over
Recalling when the Eichardts was a bar
I feel like some kiwifruit pavlova
You’re still musing bout that V-dub car

Everybody Here Looks Like A Star

Taboo Run - La Muzik Ote

saya, sakit atbp. (rough demo 2019)

Para sa mga taong nakikipaghabulan pa rin kahit malinaw nang tinatakbuhan ka na talaga palayo. Matutong tumigil at bumitaw. Tanawin mo na lang mula sa malayo.

LYRICS:

I.
Maliwanag ang buwan
Naghahabul-habulan
Ang ating mga aninong 
Minsan nang nagkatagpo

II.
Sa rami na ng dumaan
Bakit natatandaan pa rin
Ang kalawakang naramdaman
N'ong kamay mo'y nahawakan ko

Pre-chorus:
Heto na naman tayo
Kailan ba matututo?
Wala naman nang magbabago pa

Chorus:
Ganito na lang ba 'to?
Hanggang sulyap na lamang ba sa malayo?
Ganito na muna 'to
Bibitawan muna ang higpit ng kapit mo

III.
Kung ating sisimulan
Sa'ting nakagawian
Ay magagawan ba ng paraang
Maibalik sa kahapong nakaraan?

Pre-chorus:
Heto na naman tayo
Kailan ba matututo?
Wala naman nang magbabago pa

Chorus:
Ganito na lang ba 'to?
Hanggang sulyap na lamang ba sa malayo?
Ganito na muna 'to
Bibitawan muna ang higpit ng kapit mo

Bridge:
Ano nga ba talaga ang gusto kong marinig mula sa 'yong mga bibig?
'Pag sinabing wala na nga, maniniwala ba ako? 
Maniniwala sa iyo

Na ganito na lamang 'to
Hanggang sulyap na lang talaga sa malayo
Ganito na muna 'to
Binitawan mo na ang higpit ng kapit mo

Chorus:
Ganito na lang ba 'to?
Hanggang sulyap na lamang ba sa malayo?
Ganito na muna 'to
Bibitawan muna ang higpit ng kapit mo
