"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)

Weekdays

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)

This song is about finding a home with someone, and it doesn't matter where you are as long as you're with them.

LYRICS

Sa madilim na sulok dun ka lang nagmumukmok
Kamay ay nakadukot sa bulsa ng 'yong suot
Panyo mo ay hinugot, basa na at lukot-lukot
Puno ng luha mo

Kahapon lang nakita nakangiti at masaya
Mas maliwanag pa sa araw sinag ng mga mata
Ngunit pagsapit ng gabi walang tigil ang pagpatak
ng mga luha mo

Sa iyong paghihintay
Lumamig mga kamay
Nagmistulan ng bangkay
na nilimot na, 'di na maalala

Siya ang dapat na kasama mo
Ang magdadala sa 'yo diyo
Siya naman kasi'ng pinili mo
Bakit siya hindi na lang ako
Ba't ngayon 'di mo siya matanaw
Kung kailan dapat ka nang masayaw
Nangakong yayakapin ka pa raw
Bakit ngayon 'di man lang lumitaw

Sabi mo pa sa'kin, 'di ka iiyak
Luha mo'y 'di na papatak
Pwede bang ulitin, 'di na iiyak
Luha ko'y 'di na papatak

Prom

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
