First single from the third record, "Haláng".

Dayami

Ambition is nothing new for Chocolate Grass. Without August Wahh singing the blues in her creamy upper register or the band stripping the core elements of ‘70s soul in a bohemian vigil, their songs would feel stale and uninspired, the kind which lacks the ridiculous complexity that has drawn us into their music in the first place. This is why “Better than a kiss itself” works in a Chocolate Grass context: the keyboards and horn arrangements are both mesmerizing in its runs and pauses, and its psychedelic, jazzy warmth does something that fellow contemporaries seemed to lack—passion and intensity. There’s hypnotic playfulness in the way Chocolate Grass articulate sensuality and rage like both elements intertwine at one point. When August gushes over a summer romance and belts out, “Sometimes it’s better than the kiss itself,” it all sounds more like a command than a confessional in itself. Her voice is a towering presence, an intense weapon that razors your feelings with the deepest cut. Restraint may not be in her vocabulary, but her voice adds fuel to the band’s show-stopping display of force and talent, a fearlessness that trades control for maximum emotional effectiveness.

Araw't Gabi_ from the movie RED

This is the first original I'm posting here on this account. Finally had the guts hahaha hope you enjoy! Still a rough recording but out of all the one's I've been working on I think this is worth sharing!

--------------------------------------------
Waiting for someone who'll never be yours
It sounds stupid bizarre but you stay a little more
Yes you wait
Oh you wait

Imagination fantasy it's all in my head
All the things we'd have said this addiction won't end
While I wait
Oh I wait

Oh this feeling just won't end

Take your time
Oh

Waiting for somone who'll never be yours
It's like running in circles up unending floors
Yet you wait
Oh you wait

Sitting here silently nothing in store
What is this even for shaken up to the core
But I'll wait
Oh I'll wait

Oh I'm trapped in here again

Take your time
Oh

There's no turning back for me I'll be
I'll wait till the mountains cross the sea
Till all the secrets are set free
Meeting you there on bended knee

Wait - Josh Buizon

This song is a product of my teenage years spent reading YA (Young Adult) books and falling for fictional characters. Pure cheese, no shame.

Super grateful to @EanAguila for producing this song! I don't think I would have released it without your help. Thank you so much!!

LYRICS:
Verse 1
I feel alive in your eyes
You shouldn't be surprised
You give me butterflies
You don't even try

CHORUS:
And in the dark I feel your heart 
I find your gaze it doesn't waver from my face
I see you now I saw you then I'll see you for ever more

Verse 2
I see so much beyond
This road that I stand upon
And you are by my side
There's no need to hide

CHORUS

Bridge:
And if you are a world away
I know that we will be okay
Cause what we have is so surreal
It's more than tangible I feel
It's how I find you in the dark
Or how you somehow feel my heart
It's how I saw you then I see you now I'll see you for
Ever more

Ever (Now on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer)

Nice Choreography

(멋진 안무)

(尼斯编舞)
(Niza Coreografía)

Hold me closer, feel my steady feet
Twirl and kiss your cheeks and then repeat
Turning to a nice choreography
'Til the music stops, let's wait and see

Circling the floor, dimming the lights
What is this for? - Dreaming tonight
With other folks dancing in beat
Why will you want to go back to your seat?

Holding back, deciding what to do with me tonight
Going with the flowing and deciding what to do with me

Tonight I think I want to stay asleep
I'll avoid all of the wide and busy streets
Turning to a nice catastrophe
Please do not disturb just let me be

So

Did you memorize your lines?
Did you memorize your moves?
Did you memorize your whole routine?

Do you memorize your lies?
Do you think that I'm a fool?
Do you really think I couldn't see?
