Today I revisit my old original song from 2007: Chasing Love.
REVISITING MY OLD SONGS is a new series I'm launching on my Youtube channel.
Welcome to CHASING LOVE: Revisiting My Old Songs Ep.1
Coming from an exclusive all-girls Catholic school, I had a very narrow understanding of love and "relationships" back then. I'm limited to themes of pining, and my best attempt at love songs is to imagine how relationships play out based on the books and movies I consumed.
Chasing Love is just an earnest song about realizing how you don't always have to search for love. Sometimes, you have to let it find you.
This song might not be the most well-crafted one, grammatically and structurally speaking. It also might not make sense a lot of the times, but it is what it is... for now :)
P.S. In the recording, I sing "WALKING in the lines" instead of WAITING. I recalled the lyrics purely by memory and I forgot that the word is really meant to be WAITING. Sorry about that!
CHASING LOVE
Music and lyrics by Reese Lansangan
VERSE I
I used to go 'round walking in all wrong places
Screaming "Heads up!"
Searching for all those faces
Staring right back at me, yeah
Tell me that this messed up world is filled with loneliness
Wrapping your hands with another
Grants your second guess
Needing someone to fill me, yeah
But my mind says
CHORUS
Stop knocking on every door
This time around, my heart isn't as ready as before
Stop tapping on every window, oh
And if we must push through
We must be star-crossed lovers
Trip and get scared until you run for cover
No, no, no, no, no
I'm gonna get by fine
Waiting in the lines
Taking it slow, slow, slow, slow, slow
VERSE II
I used to think that love is something you should find
I can't believe that it can tap and capture you from behind
Who needs waiting?
I thought I knew much better
Than to sit around
Waiting for a lost love letter
That might bring us two together
But who's anticipating
And my mind says
CHORUS
BRIDGE
And my dear, dear Patience
is a faithful friend
He tells me good love always waits around the bend
And I've been naive
So I believe him
CHORUS
P.S. I didn't realize Emma Blackery did this as well! I think it would be fun to incorporate my old recordings into the video like she did. For the next episode, then!
