"Brand New Troubles"

I got brand new troubles
but you're not one of them
love me double
for all my reasons

I got brand new troubles
you gotta be one of them
make me settle
for all my treasons

(Leave my heavy head in the water
leave my heavy head in the water
it's safer down here than on your chest)

I got brand new troubles
but I'm not one of them
seize my battles
for all my reasons

Brand new troubles
you gotta be one of them
leave me rattled
for all my treasons

(Leave my heavy body in the river
leave my heavy body in the river
it's better down here than on your lap)

I'm singing "Dah da da Dah da da Dah da da Dah da dah"
I'm singing "Dah da da Dah da da Dah da da Dah da dah"
I'm singing "Dah da da Dah da da Dah da da Dah da dah"
I'm singing...


(Leave my heavy head in the water
leave my heavy head in the water
it's safer down here than on your chest)

(Leave my heavy body in the river
leave my heavy body in the river
it's better down here than on your lap)

I'm singing "Dah da da Dah da da Dah da da Dah da dah"
I'm singing "Dah da da Dah da da Dah da da Dah da dah"
I'm singing "Dah da da Dah da da Dah da da Dah da dah"
I'm singing...

"Flowerbed"

Put on your fancy hat
we're going out for a walk
out in the sun

Fake a laugh, a time or two
to make me feel 
less lonlely

Trouble comes bumping us in the night
we'd stay indoors to avoid the fight

(You can sleep on my flowerbed
my flowerbed, tonight
You can sleep on my flowerbed
my flowerbed...)

Take your eyes off my shoes
hold out your arms
and let me in

You're closing in for a kiss
a big dramatic scene
on the silver screen

Love comes bumping us in the night
we'd stay off the streets to avoid the fight

(You can sleep on my flowerbed
my flowerbed, tonight
safe and sound...
You can sleep on my flowerbed
my flowerbed, tonight
our bodies collide...)

Baby, behave yourself
fix your shirt, sit up straight
And may be control yourself
you're making no sense, no sense at all

Baby, control yourself
fix your shirt, sit up straight
And may be behave yourself
you're making no sense, no sense at all

(On my flowerbed
my flowerbed, tonight
safe and sound
You can sleep on my flowerbed
my flowerbed, tonight
our bodies collide...)

the REASONABILISTS first came together in September 2017 when Paing Lynn Aung asked David Moe (ex-Drums) to record the demos he had written. Due to musical differences, David Moe decided to help out with the drums for live performances only. Kyaw Lynn Aung (Paing Lynn Aung's brother), who just finished highschool, was dragged into the band to help out with the bass duties. Later then joined by Paing Lynn Aung's longtime friend Okka Kyaw decided to take over the role of a lead guitarist after jamming a few times with the band.

After playing a few gigs, the band got in contact with Han Htue Lwin (Kyar Pauk) from the band Big Bag, who also runs an independent record label "Bipolarbear" from his house. He decided to produce the band's first EP album "Amour" after hearing the demos.Ye Khine Oo (Tu and the Loft, No U-Turn)was then brought into the band to replace David Moe in 2018 to record the band's debut 4-track EP album "Amour", which put the band on the map. The mixing and mastering was done by Phyo Min Naing.

"Amour" kickstarted the band's musical journey, taking them to perform at one of the biggest music festivals in Myanmar; Voice of Youth Festival 2018. The band then went onto tour around India, in December 2018, marking their first ever international festival at the "Orange Festival 2018 - Dambuk - Arunachal Pradesh", followed by "Monsam Music Festival" and "Wildernest Festival".

In 2019, an independent label "JAMIT! Records", which was the starting ground for the band, signed a deal to release the band's full-length album "Day/Night". The band performed various gigs around Myanmar, remarkably at Voice of Youth Festival 2019 yet again. "Day/Night" was released on February 2020, just right before Covid, followed by a coup and the revolution in 2021. In 2022, the band released a track for "JAMIT! Amhat 2" compilation album. The band just performed at LGBTIQ+ Week Myanmar on June 2022 at Institut français de Birmanie to mark the International Pride Month, after being idled for over 800 days.
