Title: Kab ntsig

And if you didnt know, kabntsig is a spikey/hairy caterpillar that can sting you if you touch it. The song uses the metaphor of a caterpillar who’s closed themselves out and away from the world in its cacoon. Given that it has the ability to hurt anyone who touches it, one can live with the guilt and pain of always hurting others, even the ones you love. However, one should not blame themselves for the damages done. it is a reminder that one must face hardships to be able to grow wings and be able to travel a distance one has never traveled to before.

I’m not crying, you are! Just kidding but yeah…decided to put this song on some piano chords and I kinda love it😅 this one is called Neej Neeg. Just some raw recording with a little too much reverb😅

Let’s see if you can catch the purposeful mistake
Comment and share if you catch it

Came up with this super familiar vibe piece a while back. Didnt share it at the time because It reminds me a lot of another song but I guess I’m cutious if y’all are interested in this type of vibe. Ohh and if ya can guess what this song reminds me of😁😉

So….I’ve been kinda busy😅 been on a journey to learn more about the production side to music and yeah ig this is the start of it.

This one had different titles previously but I think I’m going to finalize the title to be “Sijhawm Ntawd”

Little short cover 😉 hope ya enjoy it😁

Went back to work on this song. Definitely different from how it used to be. Also wanting to make it edm too so.....hehe

Where it begins (tsheb maum Van)
By chuani

As a lyricsist and an artist, it’s quite difficult to not express something when things are presented to you. Recently, there’s I’ve been around friends who’s lost loved ones around this time of the year and it is really tough for them…so my sympathetic self can’t help but myself in their shoes and write about it, so this is a song about losing a loved one, in particularly a parent. And the reason it doesn’t sound as sad is because I chose to make this a song about memories and not about the sadness within it.

In writing the song, I asked myself what i‘d remember most about my own parents and how many people could relate to. And I think the most common thing hmong people had growing up is that family van. So many memories made in the van alone that it might have been an object of memories for many, even for myself. But then I made it more personal and made it about my own memories of listening to music in that van and remembering it being the spark of my love for music…

The song starting off about the milage in comparison to the age of our parents and how they always seem to be so strong both mentally and physically in our eyes. Taking us to many places and teaching us everything they can. Then it talks about the old og songs that our parents would put on and we were forced to listen to them…then we got used to it and even sing along with them. The joy and comfort within that van is everything to us is what the song is really about and how it will always remind us of our family and loved ones who’s gone.

So that’s where it all begins, in that maum van😁

Lyrics:

Tshaj ob puas phav mais los
Nws tseem khiav cuag li tshiab
Tsis hais Hauv nroog los yog saum roob
Tsis hais hiav txwv los yog hav zoov

Nws tau coj kuv mus rau txhua qhov
qhia rau kuv txog txhua yam kuv tau pom

Kuv yuav Nco nws txhua zaj nkauj luj thooj
Uas nws ib txwm tau mloog
Nco nws txhua lub suab nthe
Thaum peb sib cav sib ceg

Nco nws txhua zaj nkauj luj thooj
Uas kuv ib txwm tau nrog loob
Nram qab lub tsheb maum Van
That’s where it all begins

(A weird piece peace of spoken words to express what it feels like to be emotional being Hmong)

Some lyrics I wrote right before the end of the last year to kick off this year!!

Over these past few years, I’ve been through ups and downs, but I know everything will go into places. Let’s just laugh about the past and march forward😉

Just gonna drop this here… lol when you start the song with white but last min changed it to green, but leaves the lyrics in white so you keep singing it in white as you read the white lyrics😅

This one is called: Le Nuav
