Baby One More Time (Britney Spears Cover)

I found this really talented guy on youtube, (he’s name is Joel.) (http://www.youtube.com/user/GroovyPiano) and asked him if I could use it as an instrumental. he said yes, so here it is! :)

All tracks were arranged by (Except the vocal tracks) this man—> http://www.youtube.com/user/GroovyPiano

Single Ladies (Sara Bareilles Version Cover)

My first ukulele recording. This song is for Daddy James who gave me Klemmer, my new baby. :)

Finally, after 10 years, nakapag jam narin kami ulit. we’ve been together for about 2 years, but we only had one gig and 5 jams all in all. napaka inactive lang eh, hahaha! I love them, though. They’re so great! this one of the songs we jammed last friday. Love this song! wish I could take the credit, but I didn’t write it. :(

AYOKONG MASANAY

and Jed Dumawal (Masterplan) 

Halos araw araw tayong magkasama

madalas narin tayo ang magkausap

magkasundo sa lahat ng mga bagay

sa lahat ng oras lagi kang karamay

ako’y napapaisip sa pinapakita mo

pwede bang sabihin mo ito’y wala sayo

CHORUS:

Ayokong masanay sa bagay na pwede namang wala

gumising sa umaga, laman ng isip ko’y ikaw

magkunwari sa sarili na wala naman talaga

o pwede bang sabihin na?

Gusto kong pasukin na ang puso mo

sisilipin ang tunay na nilalaman nito

masasaktan lang ba ako

pag nalaman kong magkaibigan lang talaga tayo

(repeat chorus)

BRIDGE:

sa bawat araw unti unti ng nahuhulog na ang puso ko sayo

sabihin na kung may nararamdaman ka

ayokong masanay magmahal ng mag isa

WHENEVER YOU’RE READY

LYRICS:

You say you love me baby 
But when I look at you, there’s nothing there 
And when I kiss your lips baby 
Its like your mind is wandering somewhere

I know it’s nice to have someone 
To look at her and say “you’re the one” 
But you can’t force a flower to bloom 
Let it go, let it be

Do not confuse yourself with love 
And wanting to be in love 

CHORUS: 
It’s all right, it’s okay, 
If you’re not feeling this 
We’re not going anywhere 
This is not the way love’s supposed to be 
I don’t wanna be your girl 
If I don’t mean anything to you

You say you can’t live without me baby 
But by the way I see it, you’re better off without me 
You just need someone to be there for you 
But I can’t play that role for you

Do not confuse yourself with love 
And wanting to be in love

BRIDGE: 
Love is not found in another person all the time 
Look within yourself and maybe you will find 
The sense of wholeness you’ve been wanting all this time 
I’ll be waiting here; you know I will, whenever you’re ready

My new song, “Another Day”. I think the title is lame, but I cant really think of a title now, so if you have a better idea, tell me. ;p I was inspired to write this after I watched “Lockdown Women” on National Geographic Channel. People questioning their self worth is such a heartbreaking thing for me.

“Another Day”

She’s been walking around with her head down

Trying to figure out what to do with her life now

She spent 7 years behind bars, drowning in fear

The guilt hasn’t disappeared

Even after all those grueling years

“What’s my worth? What’s my worth?”

She whispered to herself

This time, she’s out of tears

“I had my turn, had my turn

 But I just wasted it”

This time, bitterness starts creeping in

It’s not about who you were but who you can become

Stop staring at your past now, ‘cause those days are gone

Your worth isn’t defined by the things you did and didn’t do

Look at the sun shining just for you

Another day just for you

It’s past 2 in the morning but he’s still drinking

It’s his way of escaping the reality he made for himself

Left his family for another woman

Now left him for another man

Craving for his abandoned life

But his wife has already made up her mind

”What’s this life? What’s this life?”

He uttered to himself

Regretting everything he did

He can’t cry, he can’t cry

Holding everything inside

Convinced he deserves every bit of this

Its not about falling down but rising up

Take your time standing up, but don’t you dare stop

Remember that grace is given in the presence of our mistakes

It’s not about where you’re from but where you’re going

You may have lost your way, but better days are coming

Your worth isn’t defined by the things you did and didn’t do

Look at the sun shining just for you

Another day just for you

I recorded this waaaaaay back in 2008. (Remembered it this morning, thank you, Insomnia) I’m very proud of this just because its the first track that I recorded without asking for the help of my musician friends. I did this alone, thank you very much. Didn’t post this here in my music blog because.. maybe I wasn’t confident enough to let the world hear it. but now I am. :D hehe. 

Having My Cake, Eating It Too


It’s nice to wake up in the morning without your face on mine

 I’ve rested my mind and i feel as if I’ve been forever sleeping

I’m lying on my bed alone enjoying the space that I call freedom

I should have had pushed you off my bed long before

My telephone bill has fallen straight to the ground

‘cause ive got no one to call to remind someone to come home every night

and i don’t have to waste my time listening to your same old lines

there you go saying so and so

I don’t care anymore

Chorus:

You lost me, I didn’t lose you

I’m just clearing that statement for you

you better turn around, don’t look back

say goodbye to Mr. Luck

bite your tongue, stop lying’cause i’m not listening anyway

I’m having my cake and eating it too

ever since you’ve gone away

You may think that i’m on my knees every single night

praying that you’d come home but let me tell you boy

you must be really really dreaming

the greatest gift you’ve given me 

is the day you stepped out that door

you can say whatever you wanna say

I don’t care anymore

chorus:

Bridge:

How does it feel to have a taste of your own medicine

taken for granted, baby you deserve this

so ill watch you fall down

chorus again :)
