travelin' man
(M. Baluyut, 2014)
travelin' man please tell me what to do
been livin' this life yet i ain't got no clue
travelin' man, are the answers in your hands?
walkin'and talkin', yer burnin'n you don't give a damn
telling off people to rise up and change their plans
travelin' man, i know you'll understand
(instrumental)
thumbin' for a bus ride, yer certain that there's nowhere to go
it's funny that you know the world's crazy but you don't let it show
travelin' man, i'm done with lies, tell me the truth
workin' from monday till friday, i'm toilin' mud and sand
meaning for some honey, for some action, God knows, I have a plan
travelin' man, tell me i'm doin' alright
(instrumental)
jaded and faded, tired of startin' anew
travelin' man, please tell me what to do
i wanna hear, i wanna see, i wanna feel, i want some lovin' from you
ease my burdens, embrace me with all yer might
travelin' man, come and share me some light
travelin' man, i give my life to you
(instrumantal)

Internet Kills
(M. Baluyut, 2014)
Internet kills social life
Internet kills some precious time
Internet kills peace of mind
Internet kills every time
Internet kills your reason to think
Internet kills precious time
Internet kills whatever you have
Internet kills peace of mind
And I know
Even if it doesn't show
Yes, I know
You can live without it
Internet kills relationships
Internet kills contact
Internet kills reason
Internet kills precious time
Internet kills connections with people
Internet kills precious time
Internet kills everything
Internet kills God - kills man - kills everything
And I know
This world has gone berserk
Yes, I know
Get out
You can get out of it
Get out of it
'Cos you can live without it
Internet kills
*COMPOSER'S NOTE: This song was taken on a single take, making up lyrics as it went along.It is a funny/ironic song about a yearning to live simply, yet one cannot easily bolt out of something that has been a huge part of one's daily living. So, for the sake of personal consolation, rationalization, and self-imposed detoxification, this song - about one's love-hate relationship with the internet - was made.*

My Imaginary Place Called Home
(M. Baluyut, 2013)
I wake up in the morning and the sky is blue
Your face is fresh and glowing as the morning dew
And there is no room for doubt
I don't really have to shout
And in this place we have ourselves a home, oh
Little baby's crying in her crib
There's so much joy and happiness for us to give
And bad mem'ries just won't count
In this place there is no doubt
The garden's green and it's time for fish n' wine
The kitchen's so divine
And I love you, too
Hmmm...
Hey honey, tend the flowers and I'll fetch some milk
In minutes' time the bacon's ready, you're smooth as silk
And the toast is golden brown
There's no really room for doubt
The morning breeze is fun and the grass is waving, oh
We work hard in the morning, and we rest at night
We travel here and there when we can find the time
And the baby's great and fine
And the dogs are having a good time
The night is kind and the stars are out tonight
And now we have ourselves a home
And I am not alone
There's just peace and quiet
Hmmmm...
And, my God, how good you've been
All of this despite my sins
I got myself a home and a great family
Everything's okay
Another baby's on the way
That's all I have to say

Wag Ka Na

wag ka na
(M. Baluyut 2014)
wag ka nang mahiya
wag ka nang iiyak
wag ka nang mangamba
wag ka nang titiklop
wag ka nang liliko
wag ka nang magtaka
'di ka nag-iisa
kelangan mo ng bakasyon
sa lahat ng mga lason
na lumulusob sa isipan
tara na't iwanan na iyan
(instrumental)
wag ka nang matakot
wag ka nang magkamot
wag ka nang masisindak
wag ka nang babalik
sa dilim na kumakapit
wag ka nang mawawala
sa sarili'y 'wag maaawa
ibaling mo ang atensyon
sa tunay na magpapasaya sa'yo
linasin mo na ang mga dahilan
pangarap mo'y iyong makakamtan
isipin nalang ng ganito
andito kami't nagmamahal sa'yo
sadyang tapat lang at nakaabang
halina't tumawa na at tumalon
limutin mo na'ng mga problema mo
gawin mo na ang nararapat sa'yo
wag ka na
wag ka na
wag ka na
hmmm-mmmm
