Old Familiar Sting...

OLD FAMILIAR STING
Words and Music: Briggs

Turn away then make me stay
Hold that moment
A little little longer
Piece by piece you're a tease
Pretend I am another

Fade into the night
Fake that distant cry

That old familiar sting
Cuts right through
Through my skin
That old familiar sting

Make believe it's your first time
Kill them shadows baby
Set them spaces free
Dissolved in solid tones
You spread me
Spread me in a haze

Fade into the night
Fake that distant cry

That old familiar sting
Cuts right through
Through my skin
That old familiar sting

Carry On

CARRY ON
Words and Music: Briggs

Well I'm reading between the lines
And I'm passing through a needle's eye
Would you carry me through the fire?
And if I should put my faith
On a love that won't prevail

And we break and falter...

Carry on
Carry on
Would you carry on?

SunDownMOUSE

Aldous blogged about one of our recent gigs where the band's billing was listed as "SunDownMouse". Click on this link for the full story.

But the whole point of this post is to present the fact that this isn't the first time the band has been billed as "SunDownMouse".

Below is a picture from the recent gig we had at Mag:Net in Katipunan.

Behold, as we travel back through time to December 14, 2003. This is a picture taken at Millenia.

SunDownMouse twice over. This must be a sign.

Failing Days

FAILING DAYS
Words: Jon Juliano
Music: Briggs Baritugo

Would you say you're sorry
Or would you waste my time
Talkin' bout the silly games we play
Suppose I said I couldn't work things out
Would you still stay?

Oh Maybe we could try to find
Some resolution to our Failing Days
And if we could go back to
Where it all began
Would we find our way

Will things ever get better
Or would it stay the same
Reflections of the past we used to share
Suppose I said I couldn't work things out
Would you still stay?

Oh Maybe we could try to find
Some resolution to our Failing Days
And if we could go back to where it all began
Would we lose our way

Our One Night Stand With Bela

This particular gig proved to be an interesting one. We were originally supposed to play back to back with Johnny Alegre of Affinity. We were really excited about that until Jopet, the band organizer for Bela Bar, texted me saying Mr. Alegre cancelled on the gig. We got initially disappointed because Affinity is such a kick ass band. And to be paired with them was a compliment on its own.

Jopet then asked us if we can play for the night. Of course, a gig is a gig, and we were fortunate enough for Jopet to hook us up with a gig in the first place. So we agreed to play two sets for that night. It's one of the last gigs with Balot, our drummer. So we'll take any gig we can get before Balot leaves for Australia by May....

For the full story, click on this link to Aldous' blog post about that night.

Below are some random pictures taken from that night. Enjoy.

Burned

BURNED
Words: Briggs
Music: Brew and Briggs

We all fall down sometimes...

The heart shuts down when It has too much to bear.
My soul is somewhere
Finding open doors
Deep beneath the ground - I stumble
(We all fall down sometimes...)

Chorus:
Shall I carry the cross
Everytime you change your mind?

I stand here alone now -In painful , naked glory
What breaks me
Until this moment
Is the tragedy of a life
Where every day's exactly like the others

Chorus:
Shall I carry the cross
Everytime you change your mind?

When the last absolutes are torn to pieces...
Shall I carry the cross
Everytime you change your mind?

We all fall down sometimes...

Unfuck

Unfuck
Words and Music: Briggs

I'm gonna take it slow do it and do it again
I'm gonna take it slow do it and do it again...

I'm gonna take it slow do it and do it again
I'm talking 'bout getting over
Memories written down in stone
Pain without space and time Between...

Because...
Time Time Time 3x
Is on my side

Well now the curtains are drawn
And I disregard my senses
Everything runs into everything else
Comfort in the thought that nothing is
Exactly how I'd want it to be

But...
Time Time Time 3x
Is on my side

In your struggle to be Real
In your struggle to be Centered
In your struggle to be You
Have you left a place for me?

SunDownMuse at Wharf Galley Rock Cafe, Naga

These are pictures and a video taken by the organizer of the production we played in at Wharf Galley Rock Cafe in Naga, back in December 2007. We had Chad and Gino from Liquid Jane, session for guitar and bass that night. Check it out.

Flesh and Bone

Flesh and Bone
Words and Music: Briggs
Alone in a crowd
Without happiness it seems
Without the Madness
Without the Curiosity

Moving along merely passing through
Moving along and not meaning to
Living this way
Rather than that
Living this way
Rather than that

Alone in a crowd
I speak without waiting for an answer
Always alone
Always alone
I am Flesh and Bone
Blind as a new born child

Sublime courtesy
Will you bury me
It is as it should be

Moving along merely passing through
Moving along and not meaning to
Living this way
Rather than that
Living this way
Rather than that
