"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)

This is my first original song! Hope you like it, and there's hopefully more to come :)

Lyrics:
Oh how does one survive your grace?
You lick your lips as you say it to my face.

"This love between the two of us, would never last.
You don't love me, you love the memories of our past."

I'll wait
Tenth grade

"I swear to you, honey, this love I have for you is real.
For years it hasn't faded, it is still the way i feel."

"Well it's nice to know you like me, and I like you quite as well.
But the way I like you is different, I'm sure that you can tell."

"Well how can I make you feel more like I do?
Cause no matter what is goin' on, I always think of you."

"I do not know my dear friend, if I will ever reciprocate.
But I guess with time some things might change, and if you want to you can wait."

"There's nothing else I would want more, if it means a chance with you.
To make up for all the lost time and all the chances that I blew."

"Why is it that you feel this way? What is so special about me?
I'm just a normal girl you've known for years, now what is it that you see?"

"To be honest babe I don't quite know, don't think I'll ever know for sure.
But I will never feel this way again, and I never have before."

"You know this conversation ain't real? It's only in your head.
Writin' down the way you feel on a notepad in your bed."

I'll wait
I'll wait

I'll Wait

Edge Of Desire (a John Mayer 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')

Muntikan Na

Dito Lang

Hindi mapakali
Di makapahinga ang gising na damdamin
Sa lalim ng gabi
Tinig na naririnig, sadyang nagsasabing 

Hindi alam ang gagawin
Sa bukas na darating 
Hanggang kailan mananatiling mag-isa?

Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang
Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang

Ningning ng mga bituin
Liwanag ng gabi, sa buwan nanggagaling
Nais kong magising 
Nang 'di nag-iisa at ikaw ang kapiling

Kapit lang, giliw ko
Nandito lang naman ako
Paggising mo, hindi ka na mag-iisa
Wag mangamba 

Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang
Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang ako

Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang
Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang

Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang
Tulog na giliw ko
Ako'y nandito, laging nandito lang ako

Tulog na giliw ko
(Tulog na giliw ko)
Ako'y, nandito, laging nandito lang...

Dito Lang (Acoustic Version)

Meaningful Silence (solo)

Do You Want To Be Mine (solo)

you took a train heading out to nowhere
thats where you were headed in the first place
new job
new city

you knew the names of people you wouldnt call friends
and you were just another pretty face
in the new job
in the new city

in a station middle of nowhere
thats where i saw you with a suitcase
new life
old city

i missed
your smile
i know
its been a while
old friend
its all right
youre here
dont cry

hey baby
your sorrow
ends here today
youre strong
independent
im here to stay

Your Sorrow
