Easy

i wrote this in high school.
forgive the static! i'm just using an iMic and my laptop's ancient haha

oh darling 
you make me keep on yearning
desire starts for me to come near you
thinking it was you coming from that view

it was my mistake
it was only a fake

as my hands sweat
the hair on the back of my head stands
the feeling of choking 
just like when your hand's around my neck

i'd still adore you, or maybe not just yet

knowing it really wasn't you still a thought comes to my mind
knowing she looked like you will give me something to hold on to

as she came near, i gave in to the fear
i kissed her lips and her words were clear

"you can't get me here"

A Fake

All thanks to Plutonic Group Syncs for the music production. 

What a feeling, a feeling inside this heart of mine
Just a feeling that some one like you wont understand 
Its at hand, its not the other way around

Coz when you love you don't have to wait for something back
And that's love, love, that's how you do love
And that's love, love, that's how you do love

Still so young yet I'm used with a broken heart
When I was younger felt like this but falling apart
But I'm now I'm older who knows how to hold my heart

Coz when you love you don't have to wait for something back
And that's love, love, that's how you do love
And that's love, love, that's how you do love

Feels like I'm waiting for something to happen
You don't have to feel something
All you have to is to listen 
With my heart
With my foolish and stupid hear
With my heart
With my foolish and stupid heart

What a feeling, a feeling inside this heart of mine

THEA - How you do love

only used garageband so i apologize for the faulty quality of the audio. huhu.

tama nga, hinding-hindi mawawala
tama nga, hinding-hindi mabubura
mata'y nagkadikit sa isang sandaling ayokong mawaglit
bago magpaalam, ilalahad na ang nararamdaman

ako'y biglang nagising 2x

sa panaginip lang ang ating tagpuan
sa aking pag-idlip lang tayo'y magkikita

bakas na ngiti
manghang-mangha sa kagandahan mo
sabay lapit, sabay halik
sabay umasa na ito'y totoo

ayoko nang magising 2x

sa panaginip lang ang ating tagpuan
sa aking pag-idlip lang tayo'y magkikita

hindi makapaniwala na ang hirap mong limutin, o sinta
hanggang dito na lang ba tayo magkikita?

ilang araw nang lumipas
hindi makalimutan ang sinabi mo
"sana'y naging tayo"

I'm at the beach and I'm all alone, ooh
Sand fills the gap in my toes, ooh
Where the wind blows, no one really knows, ooh
Forgot how it is so tell me how it goes

Under the night sky
Feeling the breeze against my skin
Under the moonlight
Ooh

I wish that you are here with me
Feeling the waves again
Pretend to be who we want to be
All over again

These faces can't compare to you
The feeling I get when I am with you
Why'd you leave and make me feel that I was wrong to fall for you
Now I regret I've ever felt this way

The city lights don't help how I feel, ooh
Counting the days 'till I feel those waves again
I crash in my bed and wish that I forget you
Forget you

Forget You

Lyrics:

Baby, we could go all the way
I could spend everyday
Wasting time with you
I don't think you realize
what you mean to me

Come closer
Let me whisper
These words to you
Before the night ends
And we go our separate ways

I want this ooooh
I need this ooooh
Tell me, do you too?
Oh tell me, do you too?

Baby, let me feel your hand
Do you now understand
What you are to me
And how I feel about everything
You and I could be

Come closer
I want you near me
I need you to show me how you feel
Before it gets too late




Do You Too?

a raw recording of a possible rusty machines track.

ako’y nagkamali
labag sa aking damdamin 
ang makita kang tagilid
ubos na ang pasensya mo
sa katanghan kong pa ulit ulit
at walang hangganan na pinapahalagahan

pinangakong aalagaan
hindi katulad ng iyong mga dating kasintahan
na tinapon ang puso mong hindi pagod magmahal

ang hirap magpigil
hindi ko kayang iwasan ang sadyang paglapit
ng mainit na piling ng iba na hinanap ko sa iyo
alam ko namang nawala

bakit ang bigat bigat
di na ako makahabol sa iyo

bakit hindi matapos-tapos ang lamig 
kahit dulot ito ng puso kong maligalig 

tayo’y nagkamali
labag sa ating damdamin ang 
tapusin ang unti-unting kumukupas 
at makupad nating pag-ibig
wag na nating ipilit pa

Lyrics: 

Walking round an empty house
I build a wall on my disguise 
oh oh I know its lonely here
Its only me and just a tear
Its time to go and say goodbye
I look at the man above the sky
oh oh I pray please save me here
Remember me? Its me my dear.

I am lost again
Can you be a friend?
Oh oh I feel so lost again
Can you be a friend?

Its getting colder there outside
I'll save this place for us to hide 
Oh oh I know I am getting there
A shout of hope on my despair
Listen closely to me now
I am not a man I am just a child 
Oh oh I know  inside of me
But I will grow and and I will bleed

I am lost again
Can you be a friend?
Oh oh I feel so lost again
Can you be a friend?

Oh oh I feel so lost again
Can you be a friend?

Enjoy!  

THEA - Shout Of Hope

recorded via garageband with scarlett solo

correction, girl please
a misunderstanding of some sort was misplaced 
did you think my replies were out of the ordinary?

they say you’ll always want what you can’t have
but that’s not the case for me 

what did i do?
she thinks i’m coming over 
how would that look?
beside her, inside her, all over her

you’re out of control, i can’t believe it
making up stories convincing yourself it’s real
but trust me, your head’s not right

i was quite loose and full of passion
don’t get me wrong!
because i was thinking straight 
and holding your hand will never make sense

what will i do?
she’s got all of these illusions 
what can i say?
i can’t stand being this cougar’s prey 

save me from her

Mixed and Mastered by Joshua Andres
Music and Arrangement by Rusty Machines
Lyrics by Iggy San Pablo

a track of what might be part of our upcoming EP! 

lyrics:
stranded in time
lost on the screen
slowly losing high
was i out of line?

tracing the steps 
advice is something unnecessary
or so i thought
now scenes of reactions come to mind 

was it something i said?
hurting you was never meant 
was it something i said?
just don’t say goodnight….

there’s a space between us
but i fear that’s just me trying too hard
to be a part 

was it something i said?
hurting you was never meant 

was it something i said?
offending you was never meant

was it something i said?
hurting you was never meant

was it something i said?
maybe we were never meant

was it something i said?
hurting you was never meant

was it something i said? 
just don’t say goodnight….


Trying Too Hard

here's a preview of what's to come! i'm planning to record an album of 10 songs and will distribute it intimately to friends. mixing and mastering still need a lot of tweaking thus this is not the very final version of this song. this is a passion project of mine which i've wanted to do ever since and hopefully i'll be able to finish everything and distribute the material around early 2016. 
===================================================
album art: Figure on the Beach by John Sumpter

recorded using GarageBand
words, composition, & arrangement: iggy san pablo

lyrics:
sometimes i can’t ask you why
maybe it’s just a matter of time
why can’t we just talk this out 
but i’d be lying if i said let’s stop

the waves were pulling us together
despite the walls that we’ve built
can’t we just stay a bit longer
until the sun comes up
until i know you a little better

why do these things happen in life
i want you, you want me, but fuck that
i feel like i’m julian and you’re courtney love
“meet me in the bathroom," that’s what she said.

but i mind, it’s true i mind
you’re not trashy, which is why i fear giving in 
‘cause loving you is not part of the plan
        
maybe this is for the best 
timing, circumstances, situations
have a funny way of presenting themselves
we didn’t want to ruin it
but we can’t say we didn’t want it

can i know you a little better?





Until

We're trying new things! First song for 2016

Recorded in Garageband

writing these feelings down for you to forget
swearing him off to suppress your regret
you think you gave him everything
but that’s the reason you’re suffering

we can’t always have it our way 
the stars align darling but not in a day

looking at places where you thought you’d find
that lover who would understand your mind
don’t keep on wasting your time
longing for boys with their petty clever lines

when did you lose your sight?
on the concrete you’ve fallen hard,
with no maps to guide you, i’d get lost too

reading the pages of your memories
from blots and creases of your old diary
that’s when you realized what was real
you had to die just to feel

lyrics:
someday, i believe everything will fall into place.
that silver lining i have tried to find all this time.

would you believe or would you leave?
or could you stay?

someday, i believe everything will fall into place.
though some things may try to avert my attention from you,
i know i will pull through.

but, i won't pretend.
time's not really a friend.

so, i try my best to see that at the end of my misery is you.

Fish Song

Hide The Drinks, I'll Be Okay

City Sleeping, You Are Cute

the fish song (lime mix)

She walks away when I call her to lay
She don't wanna stay one more stupid day
Oh she shut the door 
She don't want me anymore 
She ran away when I told her to stay 

And I know I know it's not true 
And I'm standing out here with you
And I'll try I'll try to fix you baby 
So please

She walks away when I call her to lay
She don't wanna stay one more stupid day
Oh she shut the door 
She don't want me anymore 
She ran away when I told her to stay 

And I know I know it's not true 
But I saw him out there with you
And I'll try I'll try to fix you baby 
So please

lyrics:
well look how this turned out for the both of us
decided to stay forgetting what went wrong
when you came along it wasn’t easy too
i tried to play it cool but i don’t know

it’s all my fault
i can’t blame anyone else
we don’t have to be so different
i might’ve said too much

i’m sorry for acting on my selfishness
being too caught up on my loneliness

chorus

when the sun goes down
i drown myself 
when you’re not around 
i lose my consciousness

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
