What a surprise!
Our second album just reached half a million streams!
Our second album just reached half a million streams!
I always considered the output of this album as the peak of Thoughts And Notions. With still so much potential to grow and become the best version of the band. But life happened. We went on a very long hiatus.
That’s why I never take for granted the opportunity to share our songs in this current digital music streaming age. Because I personally feel that we failed in making this album leave a mark in our local music scene. And this time we are given a new lease on life.
Half a million streams later, we are looking forward to the next half. And we won’t have been able to make it without your support.
So huge thanks to those who had taken the time to listen to this album. Hopefully, if you like them enough, please share it to those who you think would love the album as well. We are eternally grateful for your effort and support.🙏

In celebration for this milestone, here's some trivia that we would like to share with regards to how proud we are of this album.
1.) We never got to release the album nationwide, but we were able to independently release it in our hometown Cagayan de Oro which was made available in local record bars and coffee shops. We more or less sold 300 copies if we remember it right.
2.) In the lead up to this release, it had been our busiest time as a band as we did a lot of gigs and tours around the city and even played in far flung cities such as Davao (Nescafe Soundskool) and Manila (Rizal Park). As well as serving as opening act for prestigious bands and artists like Bamboo (the band), Christian Bautista, Rico Blanco, Powerspoonz, Sheila And The Insects, Hillsong Worship, among others.
3.) We had a contract (GUSI Records) for a national distribution record deal that we just weren't able to pursue as we went on a long hiatus. It could have been our second nationwide album release
4.) The indie concept album featured recycled envelopes with a DIY design your own CD Artwork that also features tons of merchs like a sticker, lyric card (that also served as a prayer card featuring the song Beloved Savior), artwork replica of a painting based on the Mandala Circle by Kelly Palagans-Ramos), and some more other stuff
5.) The carrier single of the album "Runaway Angel" was the song that got us nominated in the 2009 NU 107 Rock Awards under the URock College Band of the year Category. Years later, the chosen carrier single “Beloved Savior” for the digital music release made it on Spotify’s Official New Music Friday Playlist.
