One of my first explorations into song writing. 

An Ode to my previous mini van, Suki, which often times left us at the side of the road whenever she/he/it decides it needs further TLC (8/27)

Don't you act up on me now
I need you to be well, 
Like how you're designed to be,
Don't act up on me now
I'd love to see you go with us
Accomplish what we're here for
It's a long trip,
Such beautiful view,
From where I'm standing, 
I could throw you a kiss
Such a long trip, such a beautiful view
It's a long trip,
With a beautiful view,
I wish you'd be this way,
Forever you'll stay this way

Andrew Mapula - Suki

Contributed guitar lines for the band's music. One of the songs we recorded in my bedroom, before the band telepathically called it quits. Around 2012 - 2014

(t)2014

I had a crush on someone but wasn't sure if all the smiles and laughter were just friendly or if they meant something else. I really hoped it was the latter but a few weeks later she flew abroad. I never made a move. Cringe

Maybe, just, maybe you do feel the same
Because a slight laughter after a greeting
is something that makes me feel sane

So maybe, just, maybe, you do feel the same because

2022. Lone musical venture. 

Little something I came up with, gonna get this formally recorded once I cop myself an audio interface

Andrew Mapula - Grapefruit Live

A hobbling attempt

Squier Jagmaster, Super Badass Distortion, Ibanez DE7, Boss PS-5, Focusrite 2i2

Andrew Mapula - Grapefruit

Another earlier lone songwriting venture 3/4/14
I DIY made the drumtracks using a software called acoustica beatcraft (trial)
Used a Schecter Omen 7 String guitar for bass (sort of) and guitar tracks

Loss for words
Lack of knowledge on the matter (post-breakup empathy)

If I could just stay awake for another hour, 
another day,
I'd spend it with you. 
I'd lie awake with you.

I don't know if it was regret creeping on me when I wrote this. But I really wished I had another day to stay awake and spend it with them.

Glenn from Chainzaw Records left his M-Audio interface at home so I decided to try out recording on my own. Guitar parts only just for fun
