Bold As Love by John Mayer

Bold As Love is a Jimi Hendrix original and is one of the song's I've never really heard of. It was just only the title that chases me, similar to other Hendrix songs such as Little Wing, All Along the Watchtower, Foxy Lady. The title itself speaks for itself I guess and most critics tout them as great in matters of guitar playing.

I've appreciated other Hendrix songs although they came to me in different forms. Voodoo Child (Slight Return) was used by Hollywood Hulk Hogan as his intro song, Red House was performed by the Satriani, Vai, Johnson version of G3. Machine Gun was everywhere... name dropped by other guitar great as one of the greatest guitar performances ever recorded.

The day came to appreciate Bold As Love. I even thought that the correct title was "Axis:Bold as Love" although upon research i found out that this is the title of the album which the song came from. I guess the appreciation was easier because of John Mayer's voice, which can be easily understood unlike Hendrix's slurs and because it was recommended by JonRay, the best unsigned guitarist in the Philippines! We were on our way to a place were other's wouldn't dare to thread on. But that didn't matter, we listened to the song and I found another one to place in my songlist :)

Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground

Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
They quietly understand
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
But wonder why the fight is on

But they’re all, they're bold as love,
Yeah, they’re all, they're bold as love, love, love
they’re all, they're bold as love
Just ask the axis

My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war,
and Ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring,
But its very unsteady for the first go round

My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I’m trying to say it’s frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from,
Giving my life to a rainbow like you

But, I’m, I'm bold, I’m bold as love,
Yeah I’m bold, I'm bold as love, love, love, yea..
I’m bold, Im bold as love
Just ask the axis
He knows, he knows, he knows,
He knows everything.....

I'm bold, I’m bold as love,
I'm bold, I’m bold as love... ooh..
Hear me talking to you..
I'm bold, I’m bold as love.

Note: That night, we ended up dancing to the incessant prodding of Side A's Joey G. Damn you Joey G. Damn you!!!!

Hi! by Truefaith

Truefaith was never really a favorite band of mine. But throughout their career they have been churning out tunes that are original and distinctly OPM.

Hi! is a personal favorite. There's a thing about bumping into someone unexpectedly and swapping life stories just amazes me without end. Especially when that someone is very close to your heart and being.

The park is empty, my beer's already warm
And the shoppers have all gone home
Drunken and weary, I almost thought I forgot
About that someone who hit that spot

Love was a thing you wanted to know
And so with one wish, I did gave a show
Now that you're back with a half-baked smile
Just skip the bull, let's talk for a while

Hello, how have you been
Who've you been seeing this past few weekends
I know it's not me
I know that it's you I'd love to be with

When you want to be free
It's so funny how you should hurt someone
And that someone was me
I'm just a man, not much with plans
But I do believe in what I stand

Love was a thing you wanted to know
And so with one wish, I did gave a show
Now that you're back with a half-baked smile
Just skip the bull, let's talk for a while

Hello, how have you been
Who've you been seeing this past few weekends
I know it's not me
I know that it's you I'd love to be with

Hello, how have you been
Who've you been seeing this past few weekends
I know it's not me
I know that it's you I'd love to be with

Love will tear us apart again, and again, and again

Hello, don't say good-bye, don't say good-bye
Just say hello, just say hello
Don't say good-bye, don't say good-bye
Just say hello, just say

Hello, how have you been
Who've you been seeing this past few weekends
I know it's not me
I know that it's you I'd love to be with

Hello, how have you been
Who've you been seeing this past few weekends
I know it's not me
I know that it's you I'd love to be with

Hello, hoh hoh, hoh hoh
Hello, hoh hoh, hoh hoh hoh
