Khattam-shud

KHATTAM-SHUD (It is finished)
Words and Music: Briggs

You sharpen my anger
To its murderous edge
I’m driven to desperation
Man you got me on my knees
There’s a kind of burning
Baby deep inside
There’s a thousand colored stories
Surrounding your lies

Safe from the world
Bring me back home
Safe from the world
Faith take me home

So this is where the twilight ends
Find solace in the silence
Turn my head away from the screaming
Man she sparkles when I’m high
There's a kind of burning
Don't you feel it deep inside?
I bear the sadness of the truth
That it was all just a lie

Safe from the world
Bring me back home
Safe from the world
Faith take me home

She dances as the heads roll by…
Sing praises at the scene of the crime…
She dances as the heads roll by…
Sing praises at the scene of the crime…

3 Day Sickness

3 DAY SICKNESS
Words: Briggs Baritugo
Music: Brew and Briggs Baritugo

No matter how many times
You try and make things right
You're living a fantasy
Yeah brother just let things be
And you say everything is more than it seems
And I say, you are not
What you're cut up to be
People change, is that what it means when you say
We're hitting another dead end?

Time has passed me by
Days turn into nights
This is how it is
The third day of my being sick

Moving in little circles
Time and again
We make ammends
Wishing you were here
Come and take me away

Time has passed me by
Days turn into nights
This is how it is
The third day of my being sick

Balot's InfectoGrooveThang

This post is to bid farewell to longtime SunDownMuse drummer, Ryan Villamayor (Balot). Below is a playlist of bootleg recordings of our set at Balot's despedida gig in Bela Bar, last Thursday, May 15, 2008. After that are glimpses of Balot in various gigs and events over the past few years.

Balot, we will sorely miss you. And even though SunDownMuse will continue on with a new drummer, we will always remember the funkadelic, jazzmalicious groove that you brought to SunDownMuse.

SunDownMuse on Philippine Star

Here is another blast from the past press release. This time, SunDownMuse was featured on the Philippine Star last September 23, 2005. Apparently, the same article was printed in an issue of Rev Magazine on the same month. Check out the scans of the article below.

Psychobitch

PSYCHOBITCH
Words and Music: Briggs

I gotta million reasons to have you killed
Would you deny me the thrill
To go for the kill
Agonizing over
Agonized over
Black and white
Days and nights
Ooh you thought I'd give up the fight
Give up the fight

Schizophrenic Psychoholic
You go on singin' your tune
Singin' your tune

And even if you've got money
To buy your friends
And the world thinks I am the losing end
Well I beleive in karma man
Oh you've got it comin' man
'Coz you get what you make
Oh you get what you make

Schizophrenic Psychoholic
You go on singin' your
Vagrant lies
Your silly silly smiles
The world awaits your passing
Pull the trigger if you can
Pull the trigger if you can
Trade in your hour for a life filled with lies
Psychobitch on the loose
I think I'm gonna start singing
The blues...

I gotta million reasons to...
Blow you away,
Cut you into Pieces
I gotta millions reasons to go for the kill

OzBound Gig: Ryan Villamayor's Despedida Gig

A message from our drummer Balot regarding his depedida gig...

-----------------------------

Hey Fwendz!!!
Me and my band produced a despedida gig before I leave for Australia. This will be on May 15, 2008 at Bela Bar in Greenhills. Bela Bar is situated in P. Guevarra st and only a few meters away from Wilson. If you're coming from Ortigas(from the Galleria), turn left in order to land on Wilson then go straight up to where the one way lane ends then turn right in P. Guevarra. The gig will definitely start at 9pm since it's a Thursday and I have to report to work on the next day. Here's the line up...

Milagros Dancehall Collective
SunDownMuse
Goodbye Tracy
Liquid Jane

These bands have been very dear to my heart and I would like to adopt them if I can. We have taken care of the entrance fee for the night so all you have to do is come and share some jovial moments while listening to music that I love.

So mark your calendars, planners, palm(the gadget and the real thing)...don't forget to invite others...

Loaded

LOADED
Words: Briggs
Music: Ryan Villamayor and Briggs

This would be the day
I spread my wings and fly away
It's a new day it's a new dawn
It's a new life for me
Faith in my strength that it would
Carry me through
My struggle to be free

But I...
I got no courage
To let you Down
But I don't know what it is that I want
I got no courage to shut you out
But I don't know what it is that I need
So slowly drag me down
Let my feet caress the ground

Well I'm doin' it doin' it right
On borrowed time
Watch myself, feel myself Unfold
Curve after curve after curve
Find my way through
My meaning misconstrued

But I...
I got no courage
To let you Down
But I don't know what it is that I want
I got no courage to shut you out
But I don't know what it is that I need
So slowly drag me down
Let my feet caress the ground

Here are pictures taken by our good friend, Saira, of our gig at Penguin Gallery in Malate last May 3 for Sunshine Productions. Our percussionist, Dos, couldn't make it to the gig. And we road-tested Jerold, our new drummer, once Balot leaves for Australia. Enjoy.
