Singer/composer Tony T Nguyen has often done a lot of things behind the scenes, hosting events and composing music for other artists, but every once in a while he steps out on his own in a big way. For this song “Two of Us” he enlists the writing help of Kristine Sa while Connie Lim lends her vocals to the track. The video is pretty impressive, filled with plenty of Minority Report-esque effects and stylish flourishes abound. It’s a great visual for an intriguing track. I’m always a fan when artists aren’t afraid to get creative with their work. If you like the track, pick it up on iTunes or Amazon!
Two of Us
Male:
The numbers on this clock
They haven’t changed for days
Is this how I should feel
Transcending time and spaceFemale:
We move and inch
and all this commotion, this release
I’m at a loss for words
What is this feeling in me?Male:
Well there was a time that
The most simple thing is all we need
As if I once knew itFemale:
There was a world where
What matters is simple as can be
There was nothing to itBoth:
My skin and flesh can see
The deepest part of meMale:
My heart remembers all that space
My lips remember how you taste
Another time, another placeFemale:
Heartbeats racing
Fingers tracing
Empty spaces
Raw emotionCrawling under
Spilling over
Still together
Still in motionScream in silence
Quiet guidance
Safe reliance
Deep as oceansBoth:
I can faintly recall how it wasMale:
So here we are
Wherever here and now may beFemale:
I close my eyes
But I still see you seeing me
