Untitiled Song

What: Untitled song

When: Early 1997

When: My bedroom (Kuching)


Having only started learning to play the guitar a couple of weeks back, I was inspired to write a song based on the limited chords that I know.

The obvious key would be in G major, because for me this is one of the very few chords/notes in music that has a chameleon value when it comes to emotional representation. I chose finger plucking because that was the sound and feels that I was looking for;


Beat: 4/4

G-F#-Em-D-Cadd9-Em

The birth of Evanflow Songbook

What: The birth of Evanflow Songbook
When: September 2008
Where: Rheinsberg, Germany

After borrowing the LAN cable from the frontdesk, I got online from my quaint hotel room in Rheinsberg, North West of Berlin. I went on blogspot to search for the availability of “Evanflow” and to my pleasant surprise IT WAS!

Evanflow Songbook

What: The idea of Evanflow

When: September 2008

Where: 30,000 ft above the Pacific Ocean


At 30,000 ft moving at 782 km/h, the idea suddenly came to me. A blog, a way I could keep note of my thoughs, my words and ultimately my songs. But what will i call it? Once again it just came to me, in one of those odd moments where your mouth reacts before your thoughts (illogical I know but just bear with me on this). I just suddenly mouthed "Evanflow", my mind in the next split second was actually thinking "Even flow", like the Pearl Jam hit. But "Evanflow" just kinda sounded cool. It just slips off your tounge like a silk lollipop.

So welcome to Evanflow songbook, in here I'd like to share with you my thoughts, my words, and my songs.
