Through my older brother's influence by the time when I was in grade 4 (1993) I was already listening to music made by Guns N' Roses, Metallica and Nirvana. When I was in Grade 6 the music has extended to OPM with musical acts such as the Eraserheads, True Faith and Rivermaya.
In our Writing class (Handwriting is more appropriate) there's a part wherein you can tear off the pages off the book for you to use it as a slum book (yes... you and I signed alot of those during our elementary years). One famous girl in the class, Marie, wrote "Michael Learns to Rock" as her favorite band. Marie's the type of girl that most wanted to be a part of. She was smart, witty, talkative, had short hair and was the type who could hurt you if she wanted to. Back to the topic, I asked myself... who the fuck is Michael Learns to Rock...I've never heard of this band before. Hell! I'm familiar with Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Collective Soul, Sheryl Crow, Mr.Big, Skid Row, Poison... but Michael Learns to Rock?!?! Little did i know that there's are other Michaels in the music business other than the ONE named Michael Jackson.
How come this song is special? We'll for one thing, I was a witness to how powerful a song can be. There was a day when we had a Recollection as graduating elementray students and one last activity was to be done in the School Auditorium (how i miss those wooden chairs!), 25 Minutes was pumping through the sound system and almost everyone was singing the song. That was one sight to remember... and it could have been one of Michael Learns to Rock's greatest moments of all time... around a hundred grade 6 students singing their songs! Kids can be suckers for a lame love song!

After some time I've finally made up my mind
she is the girl and I really want to make her mine
I'm searching everywhere to find her again
to tell her I love her
and I'm sorry 'bout the things I've done
I find her standing in front of the church
the only place in town where I didn't search
She looks so happy in her wedding dress
but she's crying while she's saying this
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
25 minutes too late
Though you traveled so far boy I'm sorry your are
25 minutes too late
Against the wind I'm going home again
wishing me back to the time when we were more than friends
But still I see her in front of the church
the only place in town where I didn't search
She looked so happy in her wedding dress
but she cried while she was saying this
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
25 minutes too late
Though you traveled so far boy I'm sorry your are
25 minutes too late
Out in the streets
places where hungry hearts have nothing to eat
inside my head
still I can hear the words she said
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
25 minutes too late
Though you traveled so far boy I'm sorry your are
25 minutes too late
I can still hear her say......
