The Last One Awake (TLOA) is a moniker I go under specifically for Folk/Storyteller Music. It's a genre where we emphasize lyrics and feeling.
Signal Light is a song written about looking for "The Love of your Life" from a brother and sister perspective. A young boy in search of love and his sister telling him to be patient and he might just find her.
Growing up and going through highschool I always found myself crushing over a senior. I directed this music video alongside super talented Filmmaker, Clifford, in order to illustrate how growing up in a Malaysian Public School and crushing over your senior might feel.
I'm thoroughly happy to share this story with you, please let me know if you like it!
Lyrics
(TLOA)
Dear oh dear, I must’ve gone too far,
Now I’m lost and it is dark and,
All but ordinary,
The view from here is kind of scary,
My oh my, how shy this girl must be,
Its been so long I’ve still not seen,
her but I know for certain, she’s somewhere out there,
Somewhere to
Pick up my signal light,
My signal light,
I’m searching for you, you, you, you
Pick up my signal light,
My signal light,
I’m lookin for you, you, you, you
And soon I’ll be, in your arms,
eventually,
(Mia)
Boy oh boy you've travelled way too long,
Look at who you have become,
(TLOA)
What if she won’t remember or
Recognise this man before her,
(Mia)
No oh no you mustn’t think that way,
Who am I to make the rules before I’ve met the one,
She’s somewhere out there,
Waiting to
(TLOA)
I’ve looked the world in search of you,
Could you still be searching too?
I can’t wait to tell you: “Miss! Ev - ry - thing led up to this!”
Now, I am certain,
you are my person...
(Mia)
Cast your light,
into the night,
and someday soon,
she'll find her way too,
Cast her light,
into the night and,
someday soon she'll find her way,
(TLOA)
I'm looking for you.
