Sayo (Paru-paro)

Until I Reach the Sun - Vol. 1 is the first part of a longer album. This collection of songs, written from 2012-2021 contains three, maybe four different stories. It begins with the story of a teenage boy who tries to make sense of life (It All Makes Sense, 2012). Then, it tells the story of a curious Icarus who burned himself by flying too close to the sun (When a Man Touches the Sun, 2012).  It also tells the story of an Alice-type figure who retreats into her dream world to escape her bleak reality (Wonderland, 2014).

The most notable of these stories is that of the prodigal son (Prodigal’s Anthem, 2015, and all the songs that follow, 2017-2021). The prodigal son left home thinking he was ready to face the world, only to find himself miserable and alone. But at the end of the journey, he was greeted with a warm embrace from the father he ran away from. His ending is one that we hope all the other characters experience, too. Their stories will be continued in Vol. 2.

These stories are meant for you, dear listener. We hope that the last one — the one about the prodigal son — would give you hope that that suffering can end in comfort, and isolation can lead us closer to presence.

There are many, many, many more songs in the vault. For now, we give you these seven. Thank you for listening to the stories we tell through songs.

From morning light/’til break of dawn,

Waltz Of Four Left Feet

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

She Don't Love Me

Makalimutin

Naisip mo bang iniisip kita ngayon?
Naisip mo bang nakikinig ako sa 'yo?

At alam ko ang iyong kailangan
Ano ang gamit ng pag-aalala, pag-aalala

Pagka't ikaw ay makalimutin
Ngunit ako ay laging mahahanap mo rin
Ang liwanag sa bintana mo
Paalala sa pag-ibig ko

Naisip mo bang ikaw ay para lang sa akin?
Naisip mo bang hindi ka na mawawala sa aking piling, aking piling?

Oh, ikaw na ay malaya
Oh, anong patutunayan
Bumibilis ang ikot ng mundo
Ngunit ako'y hindi magbabago

Pintig ng Pasko

Bibingka

(EP 2/2) A project I was blessed to do with Stages Sessions and a group of talented musicians who took the songs to a completely different level. I have hopes that we will be able to make new songs with better quality in the near future.

Push Lang

Hawak kamay, naglalakbay
patungo sa
ating inaasahang pag bitaw

Magkatingin nang may lihim
naghihintay 
na may magsasabing ayoko na

Alas onse na ng gabi
at ika'y hinihintay 
sa iyong pagdating
Nang makita ko ang iyong mga mata
'di ako maka tingin
Pilit ko mang umiwas
alam ko sa sarili ko
damdamin koy di lilipas
Kaya, sige pa dahan dahan
mo na akong layuan 
unti unti mararamdam kong din

Alam natin san 'to papunta
'wag na nating patagalin pa
Kung san man tayo kanina
umuwi nalang kaya 

Hawak kamay, naglalakbay
patungo sa
ating inaasahang pag bitaw
Magkatingin nang may lihim
naghihintay 
na may magsasabing ayoko na

Alas onse na ng gabi at
ika'y umiiyak
mag-isa sa gabi 
Nang makita mo 
ang iyong mga mata
'di ka makapaniwala

Alam natin san 'to papunta
'wag na nating patagalin pa
Kung san man tayo kanina
umuwi nalang kaya 

Hawak kamay, naglalakbay
patungo sa
ating inaasahang pag bitaw
Magkatingin nang may lihim
naghihintay 
na may magsasabing ayoko na

LaLuna - Hawak Bitaw (first single)

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
