Lilian Bui Releases Her 3rd and 4th Original Songs

Lilian Bui, who’s been releasing her original songs in a series on Youtube is now at her 3rd and 4th pieces.

One of the tracks is called ‘Up’:

This song was inspired by Disney Pixar’s animated feature Up. I am a huge fan of this movie for a plethora of reasons! Also, I’d like to dedicate this little ditty to the most “badazz” person I know, a Mr. Henry “Badazz” Pham. You are my inspiration and so much more. (^^^)

Next is a track is called ‘Under the Painted Sky’:

Here is the next original song. I ended up writing this while sitting in my kitchen a snowy day in Maryland. The lyrics are inspired by days I’ve spent wandering around the city by myself observing everything around me. I hope you enjoy!

I’m really digging this girl’s style. She keeps things simple and charming. She makes nice choices for her instrumentation. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the songs!

Lyrics for both songs after the jump.

Lyrics:
“Up”

1st chorus:
I said I don’t believe in magic
I said I don’t believe in dreams come true
I thought the colors had faded
And my heart was jaded
Until I fell in love with you

2nd chorus:
I said I can’t make it over the rainbow
At least not anymore
But you stopped me from cryin’
And you sent me flyin’
Right to your sunny shores

You always knew
What to say, what to do
You’d make me smile, you promised
And crossed your heart
Oh, lucky me
When you finally made me see
That this is where the happy ending starts

Repeat 1st chorus

Bridge:
You bring out the dreamer in me
And you do it so easily
Now my hopes are soaring
Taking wing up high
Like balloons lifting a house into a clear blue sky…

Repeat 2nd chorus

You always knew
What to say, what to do
You’d make me smile, you promised
And smile straight from the heart
Oh, lucky me
When you finally made me see
That this is where the happy ending starts

Under the Painted Sky

Intro:
As I wander along through the crowd
I find myself thinking out loud that…

Under the painted sky there is beauty
Beyond what words could describe
To what do I owe this reverie
Under the painted sky

Bridge:
Lovers, sonnets, and friends
Children playing pretend
Oh, how I wish I could fall in love
Under the painted sky

Under the painted sky there you were
Holding a rose in your hand
The clocks froze in time
The stars realigned
Only poets would understand

Bridge:
Laughter, candles, and wine
Unparalleled design
I think that I just might fall in love
Under the painted sky

Did I know as I wandered today
To wonder at feeling this way
What if I were to fall in love
Under the painted sky?
