This song was written and composed by Paul Tolentino (a.k.a. Spree) paulustheonly.multiply.com , as he originally posted in his page HERE


i arranged the music for him and we recorded the arranged version part of our recording marathon last Apr 12-13. i also did the backup vocals (hehe)


enjoy!








closer
original words and music: spree
arrangement and backup vocals: ioHann

what up? let me just say this, i don't believe in accidents
this thing with you and me, girl, this is no coincidence
even though it seems like we're living under different times
do you have a minute? won't you listen to these honest rhymes
yeah, it's kind of a long shot
maybe i'm even out of place but
i just gotta say it right now
but i just don't know exactly how

some people tell me, "boy you're gonna have to wait so long"
but i really don't care as long as it's you, baby, i'll stay strong
can you promise me, you'd do the same for me
'cause if you're playin', then it's best you leave
i'm not here to play the game
tell me that you feel the same

how do i tell you that i care for you?
girl don't you know that i'm so into you?
when i'm with you, you make me better
i wanna know you more, i wanna get closer
tell me how do i tell you that i love you?

i know right now you're not ready for a relationship
but, girl, i'm in no rush, so hush.. for you imma wait
for the moment.. we gotta focus on our priorities
you've got school and i've got work 45 hours a week
and when i see you on the weekends
i wanna get stuck in the moment
i can come up with so many reasons
'cause to me these few hours are golden

some fellas trippin' bout us sayin' we can't be together
'cause time and space keeps us apart
i just tell them, 'whatever'
everything will fall into place one day
and that's the day i'm gonna sing
it's you i wanna spend forever with


I also made a short remix just for fun.. hehe. kudos to Paul for a great song ^_^


This embedded player plays the remix, scroll up play the other one for the original.

Heaven,my cat accompanied me all throughout my arranging and recording this song ^_^ He's my critic.







Once in a while, i do write cliche cheezy songs (which is a total contradiction to my style), but such songs are written for good reason... and sometimes the best way to express something is still through cliches -- especially on that kind of emotion.
i dedicate this song to Lady Chand as i promised, thanks for appreciating my music ^_^

For whatever it means to anyone... hope you like it ^_^



One Day
by ioHann

i know its so hard right now
when i try to get it all together
somehow i know, i wanna be with you forever
but things aren't as i expected
or how we want it to be
its so hard to accept it
and face reality
i'm doin my best to just to keep it real
i try my best just to make you feel
the thing i just can't say for now
but one thing that i know

(chorus)
I'll wait for you
no matter how long it takes
i'll wait for you
even if my heart breaks
along the way
i'm here to stay
and i dont care what they say
i will love you all the way
and one day we can start anew
one day you'll know what to do
and one day ... the day when i can be with you


its driving me crazy thinking all the time
when i can't be around you
and even if i want to
when i cant - even call you mine
youre the best thing that ever happened to me
that i want you to know
its not everyday that i feel this way
im never gonna let this go
i'm doin my best to just to keep it real
i try my best just to make you feel
the thing i just can't say for now
but one thing that i know

(chorus)
I'll wait for you
no matter how long it takes
i'll wait for you
even if my heart breaks
along the way
i'm here to stay
and i dont care what they say
i will love you all the way

(bridge)
and someday
it may even be far from now
and i know were gonna make it somehow
but all i ask of you
is to hold on to
this love thats so true
and till that day
i know i'll have to fight  for you
till  time is right i'll do whatever it takes
you know i'll wait for you

(chorus)
I'll wait for you
no matter how long it takes
i'll wait for you
even if my heart breaks
along the way
i'm here to stay
and i dont care what they say
i will love you all the way
and one day we can start anew
one day you'll know what to do
and one day... that day when i can be with you

that day is the time
when i can call you mine
look at me then you'll see
how much you really meant to me
