Alex & Esther Jong : Everybody Praise The Lord (Original Song)

Esther loves to sing and dance. I guess all children loves to do it as well. Anyway, how this song came along was that, she tends to sing a lot of songs when she was young. Plus, she tends to make up her own tunes and lyrics. This was one of the many songs she composed which caught my attention. so I went and asked Deluxe where did she listen to these songs. Deluxe told me she didn't know either, as she tends to sing a lot of songs where she would sort of "composed" on her on. Deluxe then sort of challenged me that maybe I should help fill up the gap of all her songs. And I thought it wasn't a bad idea as well. So hence this song came quickly so to speak that night. Will probably do a remake of this in the future when she grows up a little. Till then God bless.

Everybody Praise The Lord
Chorus :
Everybody praise the Lord,
I want to praise You Lord,
I want to praise You God!

Verse 1:-
I may be small, I may be 3 feet tall,
But in my heart I want to praise You God.
I wanna sing, and jump and shout for joy,
Cause in my heart I want to praise You God.

Pre-Chorus :
Cause You love me, just the way I am,
And You care for me, just like a little lamb.

Chorus :-

Verse 2 :-
I give You thanks for mom & dad,
I give you thanks for grandma & grandpa,
I give You thanks for all the things,
You're my best friend who's watching from afar.

Rap part taken from Psalms 23

Jigsaw Puzzle (Original Song)

I recall writing this song after I got back from hanging out with friends which was around 12-1am back in 2002. As usual then, I wasn't able to sleep so I ended up putting up jig saw puzzles together. If you been through what I been through, you tend to fill up the gap with a lot of things to put the mind at ease so to speak.

Anyway, while I was pretty much occupied with it inspiration tends to come in during these hour.  Hence, the song was written there and then.  But I didn't finished everything till 5.30 am, after numerous tries of recording trial and error. Hehehe.  So here's a remake of doing the song "Jigsaw Puzzle", and this time I got Deluxe to sing as well. Hehehe.  She only learned the song 5 mins, so forgive us if we may sound a bit messy.   One thing I noticed is that, when I play certain songs on the laptop it sound funny. But if I were to put my headsets on it sounded ok.  Dennis thinks it's because the lack of bass in it.

Would like to dedicate this song to all of my friends and family who have been supporting me all these years.  I wouldn't be here if it weren't for all of you.  Thank you so much for investing your time in my life.   So this song is for all of you.

Jigsaw Puzzle feat. Deluxe Bun
Verse 1 :-
From a distance I could see,
So many beautiful things surrounds me,
Life is full of mysteries,
As days passed it turns into history.

Pre Chorus :-
Time travel so fast, you won't feel it when it pass,
All the tears and joy, I still feel them from my head to my toes.

Chorus :
Life is like a jigsaw puzzle,
Each day you receive a brand new piece,
to be put and store in memory,
And when it's done it tells a story about me.

Verse 2:
Along my life I made a lot of friends,
The one I can depend,
All the friends that I made, will go their own ways,
But it's not the end.

Pre chorus :-
There were times I made them sad, there were times I made them glad,
I wanna say that I'm sorry, for all the things I did.

You're My All In All (Original Song)

Ok, this is another song that I composed back in 2002.  After the major heart ache that I got back then, I was pretty much in a wreck.  The song that I wrote in between of my song Why, to this song I've written quite a number of depressing songs. Lol.  But I thank God who took me out from my depression, and I didn't really write much after that.  I guess being too emotional you tend to think too much.  After that I pretty much moved on, which brings me to this year 2010 happily married to a wonderful wife, and having a beautiful daughter.  So God has His own plan for me.

This song has been very close to me, as I wrote it during the time when I had my quiet times back then. The funny thing was that, I actually heard this song being played in my mind and the melody was just like flowing out. So I quickly had to write it down, and do a simple recording just in case I might have forgotten about it. Hope this song will bless all of you, as much as it has blessed me. God Bless.

You're My All In All
Verse 1:
When I woke up this morning,
I'm on my knees and pray,
To thank the Lord in heaven,
For giving me this day.

You gave me air to breathe,
You shed Your blood so I may live,
Thank You lord for loving me.

Verse 2:
There were times when I feel lonely,
There were times when I feel sad,
But You showed Your grace and mercy,
Then things weren't so bad.

So many things I wanna thank You,
For all the things that You do,
Lord Jesus,
I wanna say I love You.

Chorus:
Thank You for setting me free,
You died on the cross,
Just for me.

You mend my broken heart,
You mend my broken soul,
Lord Jesus,
You're my all in all.

Why?

Feeling less inspirational now.  Don't know what to blog about.  Anyway, here's another song that I've composed years back.  Hopefully I can start get blogging by tomorrow. Hehehe.




Why?

Why does my heart keep on aching?
Why do I feel this pain?
Why does my tears keep on flowing?
It started when you left me that day.

Why do I feel lonely?
Why do I feel so cold?
Why do I feel so empty?
It started when you left me that day.

Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?
That made you leave me.
Is there something I could say?
Is there something I could do?
That would make you love me.

In my life I never felt so much like this before,
In my life there's only you by my side,
Now you're gone, I only wish that you come back to me,
But I know it's just too good to be true.

Bersatu (Original Song)

One of the 1st song that I've wrote back in 1998-99.  This song was performed by Alban, Ben and myself. Apparently our forth member Mars wasn't around that time, not sure where he was though. Probably in KL studying if I'm not mistaken.  Anyway, here is the song :-

Bersatu
Pada kali pertama kita bertemu,
Ku mendapati ku cintai mu,
Kau telah curi, Hatiku ini,
Kaulah gadis yang ku nanti.

Hari demi hari, lambat berlalu,
Fikiran ku mula bercelaru,
Ku rasa sunyi, tanpa kau disini,
Mengapa kau harus pergi?

Chorus:
Janganlah bimbang, Ku akan menunggu,
Ku berjanji pada suatu hari,
Kita kan bersatu.

Ku takkan lupa peristiwa yang lalu,
Ada yang sedih, Ada yang lucu,
Hatiku gembira, mengimbas kembali,
Sebab ku jumpa cinta sejati.

Ada yang menyatakan cinta sementara,
Ada yang menyatakan kita tak sehala,
Ku tak kisah, Apa yang dikata,
Asal kita gembira.

Bridge:
Dari hari ini, Ku berjanji,
Seluruh dunia sebagai saksi,
Ku tetap cintamu, Dari hati yang rindu,
Ku takkan menghampa mu.
