Palamig by the Eraserheads

I recently joing a band that's main goal is to jam over Eraserheads covers. We pooled the songs we liked to sing (one of my choices was my favorite Bato), as much as possible we didn't want to cover the most popular ones from the 1st three albums. Palamig took me by surprise.

I didn't appreciate the Eheads' latter albums, but this one was really great. The sound is very different from early Eheads and actually approximates Ely Buendia's and Raimund Marasigan's latter bands (Pupil and Sandwich respectively).

It's just really fun when you re-discover old music!

Wala na bang magagawa
Meron bang dapat sabihin
Di man lang natatawa
Di man lang tumingin sa akin

Meron nga bang dahilan?
Dapat ba itong malaman?

Naglalaro sa ulan
Nanginginig sa lakas ng hanging
Giniginaw ang itong balat
Nagbibigay init sa atin

Nung tayo'y Magkahiwalay
Unti-unting pinapatay

Sa lamig
Tuyo't tigang na ang aking bibig

Putulin ang mga paa
Itapon sa umaapoy na baga
Bawiin ang lahat ng bumabagabag
Sa isip na puno ng galit

Kelan nga ba araw?
Parusa ang bawat galaw

Sa lamig
Tuyo't tigang na ang aking

Kelan nga ba aaraw?
Parusa ang bawat galaw

Sa lamig
Tuyo't tigang na aking

Tuyo't tigang na ang aking bibig...

Lookin' Up in Heaven by Paul Westerberg

I just bought this Paul Westerberg album, Folker, and absolutely loved this song.

Westerberg just writes the lyrics that hits you on the spot. Melodies are simple yet lovely.

Someday morning I felt afraid
Someone leaving in the world today
I looked low, I looked high
Only missed one friend
Before I go, I look high again

So I went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight
They asked me to stick around
But without you it just wasn't right
I went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight

Sunday evening I get the blues
Someone sleeping' in their tennis shoes
I looked low and I looked high
Only missed one friend
Before I go, I look high again

So I went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight
They asked me to stick around
But without you it just wasn't right
I went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight

I met a little angel, she asked me if I could step outside
"I'll make you forget her, I'll make you forget her
Baby, won't you watch me fly?"

Years go by now, now I have grown
Sunday night and I ain't alone
So you look low and I look high
And miss another friend
Before I go, I look high again
(I love you)

Lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight
They asked me to stick around
But without you it just wasn't right
So I went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight

They invited me to stick around, you know
But I told 'em there was another place
I had to check out tonight

I went lookin' up in heaven
But you wasn't anywhere in sight

The Great Debate by Dream Theater

This song starts of an instrumental with excerpts of news clips relating to genetic science thus the title of the song.

I feed it very dramatic and powerful.

What if someone said
Promise lies ahead
Hopes are high in certain scientific circles
Life won't have to end
You could walk again

What if someone said
Problems lie ahead
They've uncovered something highly controversial
The right to life is strong
Can't you see it's wrong

Human kind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide
Or the white coat heroes
Searching for a cure

Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake

Anarchistic moral vision
Industries of death
Facing violent opposition
Unmolested breath

Ethic inquisitions breed
Antagonistic views
Right wing soundbyte premonitions
In a labyrinth of rules

Are you justified
Are you justified
Are you justified
Justified in taking
Life to save life
Life to save life
Life to save life


This embryonic clay
Wrapped in fierce debate
Would be thrown away
Or otherwise discarded

Some of us believe
It may hold the key
To treatment of disease
And secrets highly guarded

Are you justified
Are you justified
Are you justified
Justified in taking
Life to save life
Life to save life
Life to save life


Humankind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide
Or to white coat heroes
Searching for a cure

Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake

We're reaching
But have we gone too far

Harvesting existence
Only to destroy
Carelessly together
We are sliding

Someone else's future
Four days frozen still
Someone else's fate
We are deciding

Miracle potential
Sanctity of life
Faced against each other
We're divided

Should we push the boundaries
Or should we condemn
Moral guilt and science
Have collided

Turn to the light
We defy our own mortality these days
Turn to the light
Pay attention to the questions we have raised

No Way by Pearl Jam

My favorite Pearl Jam albums are the first two they released, Ten and VS. I tried to listen to other titles one day on my way home from Makati and decided to try to listen to the Yield Album.

It was a breakthrough in hearing these songs again and No Way was one of the strongest "Pearl Jamm-y" songs of the lot that could be placed in the first two albums. It has the same grit and angst.

Here's a token of my openness
Of my need to not disappear
How I'm feeling, so revealing to me
I found my mind too clear
I just need someone to be there for.. me
I just want someone to be there for.. me

All the static in my attic-a
Shoots down my sciatic nerve
To the ocean of my platitudes
Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd
I just need someone to be there for..
I just want someone to be there for..
Someone to be there for..

'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way

Ooh, let's call in an angel

'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I'm not trying to make a difference
I'll stop trying to make a difference
No way
'Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference
I’m not trying to make a difference
I’m not trying to make a difference
No way
No way, no way
Let's call in an angel
Who's calling an angel?

Flying High Again (Live) by Ozzy Osbourne

What i remember about this song was reading about it being used as an audition piece by Ozzy Osbourne to find the replacement for Randy Rhoads so that their tour might continue.

I read that Ozzy was on the corner of his hotel room bed and one of the eventual guitarist (could it be Bernie Tormé? ) played his electric guitar acoustically (not plugged in) and the performance moved Ozzy and he asked the guitarist if he would like to help Ozzy continue with the tour and close out the remaining shows.

I prefer the live version (from Tribute) as it has a faster tempo than the studio version which appeared on Diary of a Madman.

Oh no, oh no
Here we go, here we go now
Oh no, oh no
Here we go now

Got a crazy feelin' I don't understand
Gotta get away from here
Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waitin' for the sun to appear

Mama's gonna worry
I been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy

If you could be inside of me
You'd see, you'd see what light I see
Flyin' high again, alright!

I can see through mountains watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colors of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy? You bet

Mama's gonna worry
I been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy

If you could be inside my head
You'd see that black and white is red

Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again

Come on and join me

Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again
Flyin' high again

Oh no, oh no
Here we go now
Oh no, oh no
Here we go now

Daddy thinks I'm crazy he don't understand
Never saw inside my head
People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand
Never heard a thing I said

Mama's gonna worry
I've been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin sorry
It's something that I enjoy

Flyin high again
Flyin high again
Flyin high again
Flyin high again

Come on And Join Me

Don't Stop by The Rolling Stones

I've had some respect for The Rolling Stones (I was more familiar with the Beatles) for quite sometime before Don't Stop was released as the carrier single for the comprehensive best of collection of the Rolling Stones aptly titled "Forty Licks"

The song just shows how much they haven't changed and that rock n' roll and writing a good song ain't rocket science.

The video for this song featured images referenced from Stone's hits such as Satisfaction, Paint It Black.

Well you bit my lip and drew first blood
And warmed my cold, cold heart
And your wrote your name right on my back
Boy your nails were sharp

Don't stop
Honey don't stop
Don't stop
Baby don't stop

Well I love your screams of passion
In the long hot summer night
But you pepper me with poison darts
And twisted in your knife

Don't stop
Honey don't stop
Don't stop
Baby don't stop

Well the only thing I ask of you
Is to hand me back some pride
Don't you dump me on some dusty street
And hang me out to dry

Ah, Don't stop
Honey don't stop
Baby don't stop
Baby don't stop
Ah Honey

I'm losing you
I know your heart is miles away
There's a whisper there where once there was a storm
And all that's left is that image that I'll find a way
And some memories have tattered as they've torn

Don't stop
Don't stop
Baby don't stop
Baby don't stop
Honey Honey (don't stop)
Baby don't stop
Baby don't stop
Come on honey don't stop
Play on baby
Don't stop
Baby baby don't stop
Ah honey don't stop
Don't ya stop

I know I got ya some picture that I filed away
Honey don't stop
Don't you stop

New Year's Day by U2

I tried to take a listen to U2's War album, having bought it more than a year ago (or was it two) but having never listened to it since. I'm like that, i buy something but don't use it for quite sometime, fairly satisfied that I've already bought the item.

Never did i expect that this is probably once of the Quintessential Albums... an equal to Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby and All That You Can Leave Behind.

The album has Sunday Bloody Sunday, but what striked me was thins song, New Year's Day. It was utterly familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time for me, having heard this song used in a movie or two.

All is quiet on New Year's Day.
A world in white gets underway.
I want to be with you, be with you night and day.
Nothing changes on New Year's Day.
On New Year's Day.

I... will be with you again.
I... will be with you again.

Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspaper says, says
Say it's true, it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one.

I... I will begin again
I... I will begin again.

Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh.
Oh, maybe the time is right.
Oh, maybe tonight.
I will be with you again.
I will be with you again.

And so we are told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

Say Forever by Rico Blanco

I first listened to this song almost a year ago, on the way to Rico Blanco's Your Universe launching in Gateway Mall in Cubao. I've feared listening to album (in most cases, i hate listening to an album for the first time, specially if i haven't heard any singles from it yet).

I remember sitting in the FX and popping out my mp3 player to preview what would be Rico Blanco's debut album as a solo arist offering for me. Lo and behold, what i heard was not a usual rock song.

It's highly evident that the song was heavily influenced by the 80's. The artist's incorporation of synths for the album was something i was expecting and hoping. Also features some sweet basslines (which i tried to learn last saturday) and vocal harmonies (especially the ones that take place in the chorus).

Plain awesome!!

I'm at the central station
Without a destination baby its true, its true.
A million miles from nowhere
Tryin to get to somewhere baby with you, with you.

Let's go outside stand by my side, say forever
You'll always be the one for me, say forever
I'm always there the one who cares, say forever

Doin' a hundred ninety
The autobahn she loves me more than you do. if you do.
Big city life conundrum
Trying to keep myself from fallin for you, for you.

Let's go outside stand by my side, say forever
You'll always be the one for me, say forever
I'm always there the one who cares, say forever

I'm in my final verse and
The situations worse i dunno what to do, do you?
From marrakesh to hong kong
The only thing i want from this world is you, and its true

Let's go outside stand by my side, say forever
You'll always be the one for me, say forever
I'm always there the one who cares, say forever

Come Down by Bush

I initially saw the video for this song in MTV, but found was not initially interested about it. That's until I heard the acoustic version of the song that came a part of the Kosovo Benefit album, No Boundaries.

I just love the acoustic version's simplicity. I guess the emotions shine through more with the stripped down version. Sting accompaniment doesn't hurt as well. This song is the primary reason why I coveted the Sixteen Stone album, which i searched for for years.

love and hate, get it wrong
she cut me right back down to size
sleep the day, let it fade
who was there to take your place

no one knows, never will
mostly me but mostly you
what do you say, do you do
when it all comes down

cause i don't want to come back down from this cloud
it's taken me all this time to find out what i need yeah
i don't want to come back down from this cloud
it's taken me all this all this time

there is no blame, only shame
when you beg you just complain
the more i come, the more i try
all police are paranoid

so am i, so's the future
so are you, be a creature
what do you say, do you do
when it all comes down

cause i don't want to come back down from this cloud
it's taken me all this time to find out what i need yeah yeah yeah

i don't want to come back down from this cloud
it's taken me all this all this time

shoot up, shoot up, shoot up you're high

love and hate, get it wrong
she cut me right down to size
sleep the day, let it fade
who was there to take your place

no one knows, never will
mostly me but mostly you
what do you say, do you do
when it all comes down

cause i don't want to come back down from this cloud
it's taken me all this time to find out what i need yeah yeah yeah

i don't want to come back down from this cloud
it's taken me all this all this time
why did you come down
i don't want to come back down from this cloud

Goodbye by Juana

I was able to catch this OPM song via MTV. One of the better love songs I was able to related to for a long while, that's why I grabbed a copy as soon as I saw one that was on a bargain.

Didn't mean to hurt you badly
Don't think that I am fooling around with you
So sorry for the time you've wasted on me
So sorry for the things that you went through
But I know that the problem's within me
You're so nice but your love don't deserve me
Or maybe I'm just so scared to fall in love again

I can still remember the days
So many times I've been hurt
So much trust I put on a relationship
So much suffering I got and the pain still remain
You know I like you but I don't wanna take the risk
So confused and I don't know how to deal with it
Need some time for awhile before I give my heart away

Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
I need some time for awhile before I give my heart away

Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
I need some time for awhile before I give my heart away

Now I know I wasn't thinking before
That's why I'm always ending up with Mr. Wrong
Learning from the past, don't wanna make a mistake
You could be Mr. Right or could be a fake
You know I like you but I don't wanna take the risk
So confused and I don't know how to deal with it
Need some time for awhile before I give my heart away

Woman in Chains by Tears for Fears

I was reminded of this song while I was listening to Joe Satriani's Rubina (from the Not of This Earth Album). They were utterly similar (at least to me). I just find this Tears for Fears song very powerful and moving, especially with the female second vocals (just checked and her name is Oleta Adams). Damn! This is heavier than those metal songs.

You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in chains, woman in chains

Calls her man the great white hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope, ooh
Woman in chains, woman in chains

Well, I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal (A poor man's deal)
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
(Your eyes of steel)
Well, It's a world gone crazy keeps woman in chains, woh woh woh
Woman in chains, woman in chains

Trades her soul as skin and bones
(You better love loving and you better behave)
Sells the only thing she owns
(You better love loving and you better behave) ooh ooh
Woman in chains (the sun and the moon), woman in chains

Men of stone, men of stone, hey baby, no no no, ooh

Well, I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal
(The time can't heal)
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well, you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy keeps woman in chains

It's under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart (somebody somewhere is trying)
But I won't understand (to breathe)
I will not accept the greatness of man
It's a world gone crazy keeps woman in chains
Gone crazy keeps woman in chains

So free her, so free her, so free her
So free her, so free her (the sun and the moon)
So free (the wind and the rain) her, so free her
So free her, so free her, so free her, so free her
So free her, so free her (the sun and the moon)
So free (the wind and the rain) her, so free her

Let's Go Down to the Town Oasis by Papas Fritas

I'm not a big fan of Papas Fritas. I don't know much about them, except for hearing them on some magazines and online articles. I bought the "Pop Has Freed Us" album on a CD sale, thinking that it was a low risk buy. The song "Let's Go Down to the Town Oasis" is just pure pleasure. I tried to listen to the album on a bad day and this song instantly perked me up. I like the vibe, instrumentation and the vocal harmonies.

Let's go down to the town oasis
Meet you there at half past five
I'll bring cards, my hearts and aces
You bring yours and I'll bring mine

While we're there we'll catch a picture
Rest our feet and free our minds
Meet some friends we've known forever
Drink to me cause I'm not buying

Tell a tale drink an ale
A bottle of white wine
Tell a tale drink an ale
We all got the time

Here's our friend old Captain Kenny
Serves your drink with a crooked smile
Here's to him and here's to whiskey
Served straight up or in your eye

Why wait for rain when the sun's in the sky
Why look for pain in a smile

I don't think I'll be there tonight
Drink to me another time

Tell a tale drink an ale
A bottle of white wine
Tell a tale drink an ale
We all got the time
All we got is time

And Your Bird Can Sing by The Beatles

With my mp3 player on Auto-pilot, it reacquaints me with this Beatles classic from the ground braking Revolver album.

George Harrison's guitar just roars and screams, powerful vocal harmonies abound as with other Beatles songs. And as usual Paul Mccartney's bass playing is steady.

I remember looking at the cover of Revolver and not being able to understand what the hell it was about. I even though it was a mountain with Beatle's faces on it. When i got older, i realized, that yes there are faces on it, but it was not definitely shaped like a mountain

You tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me, you don't get me

You say you've seen seven wonders and your bird is green
But you can't see me, you can't see me

When your prized possessions start to weigh you down
Look in my direction, I'll be round, I'll be round

When your bird is broken will it bring you down
You may be awoken, I'll be round, I'll be round

You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swing
But you can't hear me, you can't hear me

Harana by The Eraserheads

To be honest, it's just recently that I became familiar with this song. I pretty much got lost track of eheads songs after the 3 classic albums and a so-called Christmas album.

I'm pretty much amused with the catchy lyrics, overall band presence and of course the synth parts! (I've been interested in synths recently). I like the ending part where Ely goes thru cyclical "harana" chanting. Very powerful!

Thanks to the rarely heard function in my MP3 for getting me acquainted with this song.

Wag nang malumbay
Ang pag-ibig ko ay tunay
Sabihin man ng 'yung nanay na
Wala akong silbi sa buhay...tunay

Kung ako ang papipiliin
Ay nag amsterdam na ako
Wag mo lang akong pipilitin
Na wag gumamit ng gaheto

Buksan mo ang yung bintana
Dungawin ang humahanga
Bitbit ko ang gitara
At handa ng mang-harana

Na..na..na.naaaaa..

Wag nang malumbay
Ang pag-ibig ko ay tunay
Sabihin man nang yung kapit bahay
Na di ako nag susuklay
Oh..tunay

Kung ako ang papipiliin
Ay nag congressman na ako
Wag mo lang akong pipilitin na
Isuli ang bayad nyo

Tumutunog ang kampana
Hali ka na sa dambana
Bitbit ko ang guitara at handa ng
Mang harana

(harana) Na..na..na..naaaaaaaa

I Would Die 4 U by Prince

This song comes of the ending of the movie Purple Rain. The song is just plain awesome and caps off a movie which i found "feel good" if not inspiring. I like the part when he starts the song with this weird looking dance, and of course the hand gestures while singing "i would die 4 u".

Overall, this captures Prince at his finest during the 80's.

I'm not a woman
I'm not a man
I am something that youll never understand

I'll never beat u
I'll never lie
And if youre evil I'll forgive u by and by

U - I would die 4 u, yeah
Darling if u want me 2
U - I would die 4 u

I'm not your lover
I'm not your friend
I am something that youll never comprehend

No need 2 worry
No need 2 cry
I'm your messiah and youre the reason why

cuz u - I would die 4 u, yeah
Darling if u want me 2
U - I would die 4 u

You're just a sinner I am told
Be your fire when you're cold
Make u happy when you're sad
Make u good when u are bad

I'm not a human
I am a dove
I'm your conscious
I am love
All I really need is 2 know that
U believe

Yeah, I would die 4 u, yeah
Darling if u want me 2
U - I would die 4 u

Yeah, say one more time

U - I would die 4 u
Darling if u want me 2
U - I would die 4 u
2 3 4 u

I would die 4 u
I would die 4 u
U - I would die 4 u
U - I would die 4 u

Iisang Bangka Tayo by The Dawn

I was able to see The Dawn just recently but they were not without Francis Reyes. I was not disappointed though, JB Leonor kept on pounding. Before there set started, I told my office friends Jon Ray and Deo, that i won't be able to take the music sitting down.

They digged down some classics for the set and several songs from their new album Sound the Alarm.

To be honest, i would still preferred to have seen Francis Reyes-equipped The Dawn, especially for this song. I just love the vocal harmonies and fierce guitar playing. The re-recorded version that appears in the Tulad ng Dati album, modernizes the classic version, which is able to stand on its own. The Dawn is a classic band that i wished i admired more... i admired earlier.

Kay dilim at kay ginaw sa kalawakan ng dagat
Ubod lakas kung humiyaw ang galit na hanging habagat
Ngunit buo ang puso mo’ng ang daluyong ay sugurin
Magkasama tayong katahimika’y hahanapin

Saan ang tungo mo mahal ko’ng kaibigan
Saan sasadyain hanap mo’ng katahimikan
Basta’t tayo’y magkasama laging sasabayan kita
Pinagsamaha’y nasa puso kaibigan kabarkada

Iharap natin ang layag sa umaawit na hangin
Kapit-bisig tayong ang gabi ay hahawiin

Dahon ng damo, tangay ng hangin
At di mo matanaw kung saan ka dadalhin
Ngunit kasama mo ako, nakabigkis sa puso mo
Daluyong ng dagat ang tatawirin natin

Ating liliparin, may harang mang sibat
Ating tatawirin, daluyong ng dagat
Basta’t kasama mo ako, iisang bangka tayo
Anuman ang mithiin ay makakamtan natin

It's Been Awhile by Staind

I'm not sure if time travel is possible or if it would be possible at one point in time. What I do know though is that music has the power to bring you back the feelings that were present for the moments that you cherish from the past.

Staind was one of the Nu Metal bands I was really fond of, along with Limp Bizkit and Korn. Mike Mushok's guitar work (along with Incubus's Mike Einziger) inspired me to work on my dreaded guitar chops. Aaron Lewis singing voice and emotional lyrics was a highlight for the band as well.

I choose this song as this is one of the many standout songs from their sophomore album, Break the Cycle. I still remember seeing the video for the first time and holding a copy of the album after it was given to me by my father who dropped by a ShoeMart in makati to grab me a copy of the new album.

It's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
and it's been a while
Since I first saw you
It's been a while
since i could stand on my own two feet again
and it's been a while
since i could call you
But everything I can't remember as fucked up as it may seem
the consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

It's been a while
since i could say that i wasn't addicted and
It's been a while
Since I could say I love myself as well and
It's been a while
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like i always do
It's been a while
But all that shit seems to disappear when i'm with you
But everything I can't remember as fucked up as it may seem
the consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

Why must i feel this way?
just make this go away
just one more peaceful day

Its been awhile
Since I could lok at myself straight
and it's been awhile
since i said i'm sorry
It's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
It's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
But everything I can't remember as fucked up as it may seem
I know it's me i cannot blame this on my father
he did the best he could for me

It's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
and it's been a while since i said i'm sorry

Daliri by KJWAN

I have to be honest, i think this is one of the heaviest filipino songs ever written... oh ok, at least the heaviest mainstream OPM song i've heard, I just love how the song was crafted, with equal parts for a rad-guitar solo and "bagsakan" parts. I absolutely love the intro. The video for this song was awesome looking as well. I don't like the end part of the recorded version of this song though, the improvised --- "out take" of a very stupid conversation. Let's keep it out of the records guys. Or at least be tasteful about it.

Marami ang nagsabi
Daliri mo'y may labi
Kung minsan sinasabi
Ang hawak mo ay sungkit
Ang init ng 'yong kapit
Tuluy-tuloy ang higpit
Nawawala ang alaala
Nawawala ang sakit

'di mo na maalala
Kung saan ka pupunta
'di mo na makilala ang iyong…

Kung minsan may nagsabi
Ang puso mo ay itim
Halik ng buwan sa hangin
Sabik sa mga salarain
Saan ka hahanapin?
Kailan ako titikim?
Nawawala ang alaala
Nawawala ang sakit

Nadapa sa Arina by Juan Dela Cruz

I grabbed a listen of one of Juan Dela Cruz's reissued CDs. Grabe! This song totally rocks... if Eraserheads' Alapaap caused controversy because of its drug-inspired lyrics, thus should would have caused alot of controversy back in the 70's. I love the straight-up blues rock and how the vocals were laid out for this song. Hanep talaga!

Ano itong nangyayari sa akin
Nangangati ang aking ilong
Kamot dito, kamot doon
Hangat' sa butas ng ilong ay umo-oblong

Nadapa ako sa arina
at na ngati ang aking ilong
Nadapa ako sa arina
at naumpog ako sa bubong
Nadapa ako sa arina ulit
at ah, ako'y na lasing

Hay naku! Rapsang rapsa... Hey!

Pahinging pambalot, at baka ito matapon
Ang arina na aking ini-score
Oh eto oh, dalian mo at malakas ang hangin
sige baka liparin, ikaw din ang mabibitin

Nadapa ako sa arina
Medyo kanina
Nadapa ako sa arina
at muntik ako maduling
Nadapa ako sa arina
pero ang galing

Ang sarap eh

Aghh, nanginginig nanaman ang buong katawan ko
Kapag arina ang naiisip ko
it's so galing but very malabo
i'm so groovy man, haha

Nadapa ako sa arina
ahh.. whooh sarap
Nadapa ako sa arina
halika na
Magswimming tayo sa arina
Wow.

Hey Man!
Peace Man!
Wow it's so galing

Love Story by Katharine Mcphee

I saw this song performed live on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, I'm no American Idol fan, but all I kept thinking was, how can you compete with that? Nice face, nice legs, nice figure. And this is a great song. I actually fell in love with the funky guitar riff and the bass line, and I'm being honest.

I think it was the summertime
When I laid eyes on you
I didn't even know your name
Somehow we'd end up in the same room
It never crossed my mind
I never saw you like that
I should've listened to my best friend
She knew it would be a perfect match

It's a typical love story
Started out as friends
We met way back when
This is just a typical love story
The boy you never wanted just steals your heart
I never saw it comin' 'til I fell so hard

I always made up some excuse
Saying you that weren't my type
Didn't want to face the truth
Didn't want to cross that line
'til one day I saw you
Out of the corner of my eye
You were flirting with some girl
And inside I thought I would die

It's a typical love story
Started out as friends
We met way back when
This is just a typical love story
The boy you never wanted just steals your heart
I never saw it comin' 'til I fell so hard

Can't believe its happening
When I least expect it
My prince under disguise
How you fooled me with those eyes
When I feel like letting go
In your arms is where I know
I am wrong
From the beginning we always belong

Love Love Story
Love Love Story
Love Love Story
(Love)
Love Love Story
(Love Story)
Love Love Story
(This is my)
Love Love Story
(This is my love story)
Love Love Story
Love

This is my love story

It's a typical love story
Started out as friends
This is how it ends
This is just a typical love story
The boy you never wanted just steals your heart
I never saw it comin' 'til I fell so hard
