Better Than Bliss

Better Than Bliss was a song Joyce and I wrote circa 2005. It became our favorite composition to play whenever we get to be invited to perform. The song tries to describe how it feels to be in love, but eventually concedes that such feeling is indescribable -"... it's better than bliss... I don't know what it is..." then finally,  the immediate longing physical nearness - "boy i miss your kiss." The melody was meant to be soft but upbeat. This video was taken at Bella Bar in Greenhills almost a year ago. Bogs on the shaker, Bey (my childhood friend) on the classical guitar named "Sunshine", Rah on the yellow Yamaha guitar named "Mango", my brother Ryan on the beatbox, and Joyce on vocals.




Better Than Bliss
by Rah and Joyce Nobleza

I
My eyes are roamin' out the room to find
a special someone out there meant for me
as I gaze at your smilin' face, so real
no words can express the way I feel

Chorus
Can you know, that your touch
saves me from being lonely
can you hear, my heart
beating you're my one and only
it's better than bliss
I don't know what it is
it's better than bliss
boy I miss your kiss.

II
Days and nights are cold
when you're not with me
still I remain so faithful, can't you see
come caress my body longing for you
no one else can love me the way you do

Refrain
I know you're there 'so far 'need you to be here
there is no other place that I rather be...

Chorus
Can you know, that your touch
saves me from being lonely
can you hear, my heart
beating you're my one and only
it's better than bliss
I don't know what it is
it's better than bliss
boy I miss, boy I miss your kiss

 Refrain
You have a way of telling me I'm the one
And that goes the same for me
And that I can't deny...

Chorus
Can you know, that your touch
saves me from being lonely
can you hear my heart
beating you're my one and only
it's better than bliss
I don't know what it is
it's better than bliss
boy I miss your kiss

I miss my Khikhi Monster days, we never got to perform live for an audience but the songwriting process is blissful in itself...
