about

The first of a number of guitar pop singles, Ctrl + Esc is the landmark release of Bacolod City's happy-go-lucky indie popsters under the name Project Orange. It all started with a home recording demo released in 2018 that made waves with college students in their home province that eventually led to a buzz in the Manila indie scene. This 2019 studio version is their first proper release under pop label Lilystars Records. The mid-tempo groove is infectious, with Diana Mapa’s delicate voice and lyricism suggesting playful coquetry to lose control, like youngsters do.

lyrics

Let’s go far away
To a wondrous place
Where no one knows our name
Don’t care what people say

Where the trees, they talk
And the moon, it walks
And the music speaks to every beat
So come on, let’s go
Dance to your soul
And lose all control

So groove
Groove with me baby
Let’s move
Move our hearts like crazy
Let’s groove
Groove with me baby
And move
Move our hearts like crazy

Let’s hide away
Through the ocean waves
Where we can run
Feel the vibe
And leave ourselves behind

So groove
Groove with me baby
Let’s move
Move our hearts like crazy
Let’s groove
Groove with me baby
And move
Move our hearts like crazy

So groove
Groove with me baby
Let’s move
Move our hearts like crazy

Let’s groove
Groove with me baby
And move
Move our hearts like crazy
