"I’m super excited to announce this release. It’s a cover of a song by a fellow Afro-Filipino, Joe Bataan. His music first caught my ear back in 2009 when Ryan Kattner of Man Man played it for me. I was immediately hooked by Joe’s music because, to me, he represented the impossible--he felt so comfortable in his skin and he had so much confidence and appeal. I had the pleasure of meeting Joe at an incredible dinner with friends at Jeepney, a Filipino restaurant in New York City. Joe was at the center of the table, talking to us like we were family. I played Joe the cover that night through the restaurant stereo and he was so happy to hear that his music stood the test of time and reached me. Now, 45 years after the original song hit the airwaves, I’m honored to bring this song to new ears. Thank you for your support.

Lyrics:
I can’t see who’s hiding in the weeds
I think he’s my friend, he could be a thief
You ain’t being discrete
I’m out on the street again
Heaven is an island thats not far away from here
Right behind both of my eyelids, in between both of my ears
Natural forces keep on smiling, casting spells made out of tears
A charming man who goes the distance, tries to be a puppeteer
Tries to control every motion, has to always interfere
Baby let it go, let it go
Once in a lifetime, it’s radical
Sparks fly, irrational
Watch it all burn to the floor, irrational
Dont let it go if you think you have it
Don’t let it go, hold it with a passion
Smoke and mirrors got you looking at distractions
Even though it’s got you hoping that it’s magic
Im under a spell, with tunnel visions
Nobody to help these superstitions
Its hard to tell, nobody listens
I can’t see who’s hiding in the weeds
I think he’s my friend, he could be a thief
You ain’t being discrete
I’m out on the street again
Park that car
Drop that phone
Sleep on the floor
Dream about me
Once in a lifetime, it’s radical
Sparks fly, irrational
Watch it all burn to the floor, irrational
Dont let it go if you think you have it
Don’t let it go, hold it with a passion
Smoke and mirrors got you looking at distractions
Even though it’s got you hoping that its magic

Lyrics:
Its a long day living in Reseda
Said she’s got a perfect plan, feeling devious
She’s got some internet friends paying premium
Just to watch her spend it all on the weekends
Everybody says she’s acting different
Plus her mom and dad never really listening
No one else knows except the two of them
And they let her go out no question
We both grew up in a small town
Where it’s freaky (freaky)
Everybody knows when you make a sound
(At the drop of a dime)
Everybody knows
I spent too much time looking backwards
In my past life, it’ll haunt ya
Halloween every time I think about ya
Sweet nothings make you sing like Frank Sinatra
Accidentally time travel every time I scroll down
Then its back to the future, pull up to a ghost town
Where it’s freaky, freaky
Freaky little thing that you do to my mind
Gemini switching at the drop of a dime
Should’ve left you in a past life
Oh my God what did I do to deserve ya
Now Im worried every day if I hurt ya
I dont wanna give you pain or desert ya
Some days I just can’t explain the hurt ya
I know what I know and I know its alright
I’ll go with the flow for the rest of the night
Weird how nostalgia
Comes back to haunt ya
Never been here before
If I did it was a blur
Voices that tell you
Who is the realest
With no hesitation
Voices to block out
All of the haters
With no satisfaction
