Soundcloud:
https://soundcloud.com/vikktor/untitled-iiI wrote this song with a little bit of experimentation in mind. I tried to fuse alternative rock with a cool reggae sound in the verse. I only have the acoustic version since all my files were destroyed by the 2013 Typhoon.
This song gave me the opportunity to become a part of an annual Singing-Songwriting Camp here in the Philippines.
Feedbacks are always welcome and highly appreciated; feel free to give any.
VerseRise above
Rise above, my lovely, native land
Open your eyes
to the predicament that lies at hand
Obstruction--freedom's demise
Pre-ChorusWhen will we learn
to extend our judgment and move against the flow
When will we prevail to save the people from the people of the people?
ChorusActions speak louder than words
VerseThe thrills of a nation
lies beneath recurring situations
Blunders and word contraptions
And then a-foolin' us with their silly incantations
Pre-ChorusWhen will we learn
to extend our judgment and move against the flow
It's not as if we can't think for our own sake
to be blind to our own mistake
ChorusActions speak louder than words
ChorusActions speak louder than words
A hundred million words can't quite make it
