Francis Magalona's death is a definite loss to the country's music industry and a loss of one great talented person. May you soul rest in peace.
There are a number of songs that I like...
Mga Kababayan Ko,
Kabataan para sa Kinabukasan,
Meron Akong Ano! etc... but these three songs are my favorite :)
Kaleidoscope World, Cold Summer Nights and of course
Girl Be Mine. I bought a CD of
Happy Battle back in 2006 because of
Girl Be Mine. hehehe! (may pagka tomboy ata ako noon!?).
Girl Be Mine
Let the sun shine
Let the rivers run away
Coz it’s a beautiful day now
To play now
As I close my eyes and pray
Lord have mercy on me
‘Coz I’m feeling kinda lonely
Would you be, could you be…
My one and only
Took a train at a station
And almost lost my patience coz I was waiting
Damned rain delayed the train
Now I’m waitin’ in vain
Just to see your face
Is this the one that im supposed to be afraid of
Is this the one that im supposed to be ashamed of
Hard as a rock not soft like play-do
Everytime I hear a song playing on the radio
Let the wind blow
Let the wind touch my face
I wanna take a little break now
Shake now
This is what I have to say
I feel so fine…
So fine that it blows my mind
Tell the truth
When will you… be mine
And in my dream you are so real
So it seems
Inside my head a giant screen
Plays every scene
While I scream
I feel you everytime I go to sleep
Wake up in the middle of the night
And I weep
It’s gotta be mine
That girl is so fine
Girl be mine
Girl be mine
All it takes is a matter of time
And in my dream you are so real
Or so it seems
Inside my head a giant screen
Plays every scene
So you see
I feel you everytime I go to sleep
All it takes is a matter of time
Tell the truth
Will you be mine
Sunshine
Let the rivers run away
Coz it’s a beautiful day now
To play now
As I close my eyes and pray
Lord have mercy on me
You know im feeling kinda lonely
Could you be, would you be…
Let the wind blow
Let the wind touch my face
I wanna take a little break now
Shake now
This is what I have to say
I feel so fine…
So fine the it blows my mind
Tell the truth
When will you… be mine
Let the sun shine
Let the rivers run away
Coz it’s a beautiful day now
To play now
And as I close my eyes and pray
Lord have mercy on me
You know im feeling kinda lonely
Could you be, would you be
Could you be, would you be
Could you be, would you be
Be mine
Cold Summer Nights
I keep on blaming my self
I should have eaten my pride
how can i convince you
its just a matter of time
many times i've hurt you
with my foolish ways oh girl
now i know i have to pay the price
is there a way for u to turn around,
turn around and come back baby
ohh baby cant u see
CHORUS:
its been cold summer nights since we drifted apart
cold summer nights since you walked out that door
cold summer nights here on my own
coz i miss you baby, i need you here
RAP:
cold summer nights girl, i really miss you
you rocked my world
i wanna touch you and kiss you
its my fault
i never called you at home
i'm on the phone, wishing you could call
i'm all alone
is there a way for you to turn around and
come back to me
i hope you understand
that i'm your man and together we can
kiss and make up
'coz you know i cant stand
Kaleidoscope World
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
I was in Glorietta last week and saw this big tarpaulin hanging in the Activity center. I can't remember what it looks like but I remember wondering why they will shut off electricity in this Mall on March 28 from 8:30-9:30pm.. then I got this email from a colleague in Malaysia encouraging us to visit http://www.voteearth2009.org/home/ and participate... And then I understood.
