"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)

A song about finding meaning

LYRICS:
Panahon
May mga sikretong binubulong
Kung lumipas na ba
Takdang oras na nakalaan

Sa atin
At parang ihip lang ng hangin
Tayo’y lilisan din
At kailanma’y di maiintindihan

Bakit pilit inaagaw
Ng tadhana ang bukas na tinatanaw
Kung ang buhay ay byaheng balikan
Bakit papunta pa lang ito’y tutuldukan

Ano kayang dahilan?

Panahon
Kay bilis lang minsan na di natin
Namamalayang nasayang
Oras natin sa paghihintay

Sa magpakailanman
At kapag ating naintindihan
Huli na ang lahat
Kaya’t sulitin ang bawat pagkakataon

Kahit pilit aagawin
Ng tadhana ang landas na tatahakin
Wag kang matakot
Mundo ay umiikot
Anumang kalabasan ng kinabukasan

Lahat ng bagay may dahilan

Awitin natin, sa mga bituin
Na ang kalangitan ay magpahiwatig sa atin
Ng liwanag, kanyang kaalaman
Na ang lahat ng bagay ay may dahilan

Lahat ng bagay, may dahilan


Dahilan

Lyrics:
Tell me where your treasure is
Tell me, what does your heart miss?
Tell me of the men you've kissed
In this city made of mist

Tell me of your search for truth
Through the lens of foolish youth
Tell me what you had to lose
In this life we did not choose

There's much to say
These sunken eyes won't stay awake for long
But I will stay
From morning light until the break of dawn

Raconteur (raw)

A song based on Psalm 51.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love (v1)
I was a sinner since birth (v5)
You taught me the wisdom that comes from above (v6)

Don't cast me out I have nowhere to go (v12)
Cleanse me and I will be whiter than snow (v7)

You ask for my life so I'll give it, though this grief has torn me apart (my own words)
Take my broken spirit, take my broken heart (v17)

You ask for my praise so I'll give it (v15)
I'm coming back to the start (my own words)
Take my broken spirit, take my broken heart (v17)

Broken (Psalm 51)

Meaingful Silence will be included in our upcoming EP, "From Morning Light/Till Break of Dawn", which will be released on Sept. 8, 2017.

Lyrics:
Don't worry 
About the things that have been bothering you for so long 
Don't worry 
About all of the ways this could go wrong 

Just tell me how you really feel 
You don't have to pretend when you're with me 
'Cause in the end 
I'm still your friend 

You told me 
You're afraid that I would get hurt 
Well don't you worry 
I'm not asking for much, you have my word 

Tell me how you really feel 
You don't have to pretend when you're with me 
'Cause in the end 
I'm still your friend 

And when you see that we were meant to be all along 
When it's all clear 
I will be here 
Singing our song
