Eylsia Nicolas, the luminous alter ego of Lisa Pamintuan, is an artist I’ve come to cherish as she carries stories in her voice. Her life reads like a cinematic journey. It’s brilliant, tragic, and ultimately redemptive. A woman of many reinventions, Eylsia has turned life’s heartbreaks and triumphs into art that doesn’t just speak—it feels. Her music captures that rare alchemy where resilience meets vulnerability, creating moments that stay long after the final note fades.
Her song, “Wake Up in the Morning All By Myself,” is a quietly powerful reflection on solitude. From the opening moments, the song feels like a private confession shared in the soft light of dawn. The instrumentation is restrained yet evocative. There’s patience in the production. The mix gives her voice plenty of space to breathe, wrapping it in warm reverb that evokes distance and intimacy.
Eylsia’s vocals are the song’s purest revelation. She doesn’t reach for grandiosity or theatrics; instead, she delivers each line with a quiet conviction that draws you closer. There’s a tremor in her tone that feels human, lived-in, and honest. When she sings about waking up alone, you believe her—not because she sounds broken, but because she sounds whole in her awareness of loss. That’s the rare strength of her delivery: she embraces the fragility of the moment without letting it define her.
The performance unfolds like a gentle sunrise. It’s measured, unhurried, and real. Eylsia allows silence to play its part, trusting us to meet her halfway. Each pause, each note feels intentional, creating a meditative rhythm that mirrors the act of learning to live with oneself again.
In theme, “Wake Up in the Morning All By Myself” speaks to the resilience born from solitude. It’s not a song of despair but a song of reckoning and quiet renewal. Eylsia captures that bittersweet space between loneliness and self-acceptance, where strength grows slowly, like dawn light breaking through the blinds.
Eylsia Nicolas stands as an artist who doesn’t just tell her story—she embodies it. “Wake Up in the Morning All By Myself” isn’t just a song; it’s a chapter from a life that has known both the storm and the stillness after. It’s proof that even in our most isolated moments, there is beauty in breathing, in waking, and in simply being with oneself.
