Last August 6, 2011 – I helped promote the coming 2nd Elements National Singing and Songwriting Camp. The mentor that played for both events was the incredibly talented Mr. Jay Durias, and we also had Mr. Noel Cabangon for the interview at Jam 88.3. Jay and I did a quick impromptu jam of my song – “Move it Up” and SouthBorder’s “Tulog” at both venues. A friend uploaded a video clip of the jam and is available on my video page. :)

Sander Briones

Alexander Briones aka Sander Briones is a singer songwriter who loves guitar driven music, which fuels him to make his own brand of songs that are raw yet technical, memorable but not too familiar.  A loyal disciple of the guitar, his gospel and blues roots are heard everytime the wood and strings on his guitar vibrate with music.  He continues to develop his skills by making music that he enjoys and loves.  More songs about God, love and life experiences are on it’s way… :)

About

Sander’s demo songs and lyrics:

Waiting Game
Words and music by Sander Briones

You can do anything you want to me
If you want to we can play all day and have a sweet spree
You can say anything you want to say
You can shout it to the world or whisper close to my ears and make my day

But you choose to do nothing,
Oh your silly waiting game
You choose to just say nothing
‘Cause you know it’s driving me insane

I know you know I’ll keep on waiting
I know you know I’ll keep on trying
I know you play your little waiting game
‘Cause you know I’ll have it no other way

We can go anywhere you want to go
You can please me but you tease me ‘cause you know I have nowhere else to go

But you choose to go nowhere
Oh your silly teasing game
You just have to keep me guessing
Cause you know your driving me insane

Move it up
Words and music by Sander Briones

I’ve got something to say
You know I’m coming to you
Your eyes gave you away
I know what to do

I’ve got nothing to hide
Have always been by your side
It’s fun being your friend
But you know that we can

Move it up, you and I, and if you want to we can take it slowly
We’re starting off, baby don’t deny, you know I’ll be you’re man, if you’ll only let me

It’s not a surprise
You can see it if you look in my eyes
It’s not a mistake
And you know I’m not fake

Just go with flow
Baby won’t you let your feelings show
It’s time that we dared
Let’s face it and move up cause I’m sure that we can

Move it up, you and I, and if you want to we can take it slowly
We’re starting off, baby don’t deny, you know I’ll be you’re man, if you’ll only let me

I”ll be your man…

Save Me
Words and music by Sander Briones

Where are the signs
Where does this road lead to
I ask of you

I followed the line
But it led me to that same old place I’ve been to
I don’t know what to do

I have what I need, but I am longing
I think I’m OK, but something’s missing
Would you?

Find me, do you think I’m lost
Help me, can you calm my thoughts
Hold me, can you take my hand and
Save me from myself

Am I going down
What is in store for me and you
Do you wonder too

I struggle and fight
But it’s wearing this battered body down
I worry and I’m giving it my all

I know what I need, but I didn’t listen
I don’t understand, so I’ll be asking
Can you?

Stop me from faking my smiles
Put an End to this silly show
Bring me to my knees and help me see
That I need your saving… grace
Grace

It’s Over
Words and music by Sander Briones

Once upon a time you said you love me.
You held me in your arms and you’re so happy.
You assured me you are mine until forever.
But now I’m drowning in my tears, it’s over.

Why am I waiting here when I know it will take forever?
Why am I sitting here while you play your games with another?
I just can’t believe it’s over.

The places that we’ve been they stand as witness,
To a love that came to pass and broken promises.

Why am I waiting here when I know it will take forever?
Why am I sitting here while you play your games with another?
I just can’t believe it’s over.

I have to move on, how can I carry on?
I need your smile, I need your touch
I need your love.
But I know I have to get all this from somebody else’s love.

Why am I waiting here when I know it will take forever?
Why am I sitting here while you play your games with another?
I just can’t believe it’s over.
