Sinta by Sugarfree

This is the very song that introduced me to Sugarfree. I've heard of the songs like Mariposa and Burnout but Sinta made me a fan. Watching TV one lazy morning and I crossed upon the video....Arggh!!! It must really feel good to have that someone.

Simplistic lyrics and honest songwriting at its finest!

ako'y
isang malungkot na bata
palakad lakad lang
wala rin namang mapupuntahan
madalas, madulas
at nung parang ayoko na

buti na lang nanjan ka
buti na lang nanjan ka
sinta
pano na lang ako kung wala ka?
sinta
pano na lang ako kung wala ka?
pano na lang ako…

minsan
ako'y naligaw ng daan
tinalikuran ng kaibigan at
biglang napagiwanan
at madalas, ako'y madulas
at nung parang ayoko na

buti na lang nanjan ka
buti na lang nanjan ka
sinta
pano na lang ako kung wala ka?
sinta
pano na lang ako…
pano na lang ako…
pano na lang ako…
ohh ohh uhh ohh...

ako'y
isang malungkot na bata
pano kung ligaya ko'y bigla na lang
mawala?
at sabi mo malayo pang bukas, tapos
na ang kahapon
ang mahalaga'y ngayon
nandito ka ngayon

oh, sinta
pano na lang ako kung wala ka?
sinta
pano na lang ako kung wala ka?
pano na lang ako…
pano na lang ako…
pano na lang ako…
kung wala ka...

Tag-Araw by AfterImage

Tag-Ulan, Tag-Araw is one of the classic albums I heard during my grade school years. It was an OPM blast when this was released... E-heads, Rivermaya, Introvoys, Yano!, The Youth, FrancisM... great OPM music was everywhere.

I was just impressed with the feel good songs that this album carried. It was composed of a solid selection, although some of them might be considered cheesy now adays. I realized how good this album was, when i was listened to it during one of the usual flooded days on our house, when i was already in high school. This album is just plain awesome, and I'm choosing the song Tag-Araw to represent me today, as it reflects how I feel

Ikot ng mundo, tila ay bumabagal
Ngunit alam kong di na rin magtatagal
Ang aking hinihintay ay makakamit
Pagkat bughaw na ang kulay ng ating langit
Pilitin man ay di mo na mapipigil
Ang kanyang pag-ahon, ang kanyang pag-gising

Ikaw lamang ang nais kong kapiling
Kung darating ang tag-araw
Lagi na lamang aking nasa sa isip
Ang pagsapit ng tag-araw

Sana ang init mo'y aking maramdaman
Araw na nagdaan ay di ko mabilang
Sa 'king paghihintay ako'y nasasabik
Pinapanalangin na ang iyong pagbabalik
Wag mo na sana sa akin ipagkait
Ang tanging hangarin na ika'y makapiling

Hanggang kailan kaya ako maghihintay
Upang ang tag-araw sa akin ay kusa nang ibigay

1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins

I just really can't put into words how this song makes me feel. It has this very calming guitar riff that i just can't shake off my head when i first time i heard it. There's also charming about the video... teenagers spending some care free time under the sun, with Billy Corgan at the back seat of some ones car, singing this song!

Every time i ride a taxi or someones car and there's sun glimmering thru the windows i can't help but remember 1979.

Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all

And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see

That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go
Beneath the sound of hope

Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it to see

That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now
As you see there's no one around

Street Walker by Michael Jackson

This song is really BAD! The Baddest Michael Jackson song ever... this is so bad that it's badder than Bad. With us being dancing maniacs during our early ages (our parents held impromptu dance parties for us, turning off the TV and playing or old stereo systems with Michael Jackson songs and other "in" music at that time, with our neighbors as guests), Augy bought a Special Edition copy of Bad wherein this song appears. You would really have an idea how good MJ was at that time, as this song was taken out of the Original Bad press as they already don't have enough room to cram other songs for it.

I read an article comparing two icons from the 80's... Prince and Michael Jackson. Although Michael Jackson doesn't play any music instruments as compared to the virtuoso Prince, he still finds ways to produce his own music and have his vision be executed by talented musicians behind him. Look for a video of MJ beat boxing the beat of this song just to get a grasp of how good he really is in terms of music.

Why don't you give me some time)
(Won't you give me some time)

Something About the Way You Look Tonight by Elton John

I remember the most beautiful person I've met when ever I hear this song. No it's not Princess Diana or Marilyn Monroe or a girl that I was infatuated with. Her name was Dionisia and she was my Lola. As usual, my brother Augy bought a copy of this single and we listened to it with her on our living room (which is also Augy's bedroom).

It would be within the year when she would leave us. She's the most generous person I know! No kind words would be able to give justice really. I remember a time wherein I was very afraid of seeing ghosts that she even offered a space in her bed for me to sleep in. That's the kind of grandma she was. Ask my brother Augy, he would know.

There was a time
I was everything and nothing all in one
When you found me
I was feeling like a cloud across the sun

I need to tell you
How you light up every second of the day
But in the moonlight
You just shine like a beacon on the bay

And I can't explain
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside
And I can't describe
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
The way you look tonight

With a smile
You pull the deepest secrets from my heart
In all honesty
I'm speechless and I don't know where to start
