Morning Sun Words & Music by Chan Minh © JCMuse It's been so long Welcome to the world I bathe in the morning sun I open my eyes I can't go to sleep Think I could find the one Do you hear me when the world won't listen I'm wide awake, nobody wants to feel alone I've been here before My eyes have told some lies I'm looking for absolution A reason to apologize Do you hear me when the world won't listen I'm wide awake, nobody wants to feel alone Do you hear me when the world won't listen I'm wide awake, I don't want to feel alone Never fear what is understood You can read me like an open book Do you hear me when the world won't listen I'm wide awake, nobody wants to feel alone Do you hear me when the world won't listen I'm wide awake, I don't want to feel alone

LOOKING FOR ORION Words & Music by Chan Minh © JCMuse To tell you the truth I was passing by I didn't have a clue Felt the thorn in my side But fate would have its way We were drawn into this moment Everything feels real Everything feels real I remember when we were innocent The stars fell down when we touched sky We were rockets ships shooting through the atmosphere Until our worlds collide We drove out together And parked where the stars align Looking for Orion Making sense of time But fate would have its way We were drawn into this moment Everything feels real Everything feels real I remember when we were innocent The stars fell down when we touched sky We were rockets ships shooting through the atmosphere Until our worlds collide Heaven knows what the night can do There's no place and time for us to hide I've fallen for you I remember when we were innocent The stars fell down when we touched sky We were rockets ships shooting through the atmosphere Until our worlds collide

THE REST OF OUR LIVES Words & Music by Chan Minh © JCMuse I fold away those hollow years Let the tears down my face There was an Angel a grace that I found I've made the best of all these years Felt the mercy from above Found a way out from a place underground And now I believe in love Do you believe the heart won't lie Do you believe in the rest of our lives I'm telling you now what this means I'm counting all that we will be I believe in you and me I pull away from a lonely place And I still see people cry But there's always beauty when I see your face And now I believe in love Do you believe the heart won't lie Do you believe in the rest of our lives I'm telling you now what this means I'm counting all that we will be I believe in you and me Do you believe the heart won't lie Do you believe in the rest of our lives I'm telling you now what this means I'm counting all that we will be I believe in you and me I'm telling you now just what I see I'm counting all that we will be I believe in you and me

LIGHTS OF DECEMBER Words & Music by Chan Minh © JCMuse She keeps me awake Floating pictures in my mind I walk down the streets of days gone by I'll never know where I'm going But I can't deny All the lights of December All the dreams that we made Don't wanna be alone I just want to hear you call All the words in the world Cannot bring you back I'll carry you with me Knowing I'll keep your memory The snow keeps falling It always felt like I've moved on You're slowly fading with each step I take Now a new year is dawning I'm trying to make things right All the lights of December All the dreams that we made Don't wanna be alone I just want to hear you call All the words in the world Cannot bring you back I'll carry you with me Knowing I'll keep your memory So I walk down the streets alone Every face feels like I'm far from home When the world comes crashing down Do you feel like giving up? Carry on Just carry on When the world comes crashing down Do you feel like giving up? Just carry on Carry on...

IF YOU NEED ME Words & Music by Chan Minh ©JCMuse (Girl)
 You seem tired and broken down 
All your will is gone But you know I'm still hanging around 
Yes I will (Guy)
 You seem weary of my touch I can heal you If you tell me you need me 
 Yes I will
 (Both) 
Love is what we have on our minds 
 Love is what we cannot define
 And can it be all I've been after
 Has been found 
Feels like you're carrying the weight of the world Oh, let me show you the strength of the heart
 This time there’s no denying Where we’re bound (Guy) In a sense we’re the same (Girl) Trying to make amends with people who've hurt us (Both) Just let go of the blame (Both) It doesn’t break you when you cry You know it’s only for a while (Both) Feels like you're carrying the weight of the world Oh, let me show you the strength of the heart 
This time there’s no denying Where we’re bound (Both) 
Love is what we have on our minds 
 Love is what we cannot define
 And can it be all I've been after
 Has been found 
Feels like you're carrying the weight of the world Oh, let me show you the strength of the heart
 (Guy) It doesn’t break you when you cry (Girl) You know it’s only for a while (Guy) Let me show you (Girl) Let me show you (Both) Where we’re bound

THE HARDEST PART Words & Music by Chan Minh & Jason Myers © JCMuse I need to know that you are listening Cause right now I'm afraid to speak I need to know if you're letting me go 'Cause the road is cold alone And I wanna make it better And I didn't want you back And I wanna make it better Cause right now living is the hardest part I know I promised you a love song But the words will not come out All these feelings that I'm having Leaves me without a doubt And I wanna make it better And I don't want you back And I wanna make it better Cause right now living is the hardest part Seems like it's been so long Waiting on your call Why keep pretending We know this ending So why can't I say goodbye And I wanna make it better And I don't want you back And I wanna make it better Cause right now living is the hardest part And I wanna make it better And I don't want you back And I wanna make it better Cause right now living is the hardest part

about

Click on individual tracks for more details.

This is the 1st in a series of 7 Eps of different styles.

To say that these songs have required countless hours of blood, sweat and more sweat would be an understatement. This is a result of my intense love for music and learning how my all-time favorite artists wrote and recorded. Every decision made with the songwriting, music and production have been painstakingly thought out on numerous sleepless nights. This is passion.

The sound of this EP is more electronic heavy and the songwriting is more for an alternative audience.
