She said everyone she meets
seems to be a ghost of someone else
That is if you believe in it
but then I guess we'll all need shells
I never thought that trusting
someone like me would be too hard
But then she should'nt believe anything
right from the start
I never thought having another handle
was such a big deal
When everything I said in there
and here was all real
Its not like I'm Doctor Jekyll
and Lone Wolf is Mister Hyde
They both bore my soul here
I had nothing to hide
A ghost is someone who haunts
but its her that haunts me
until now, its still her that I want
but I can do nothing but set her free
You see, its never my style to haunt people
I believe in free will, so I'll let her be
although I don't want her to go
She'll now be the ghost I'll never know...
I wish you find someone you can be comfortable with and can give you peace of mind my love... Be it here or elsewhere... Good Luck!

This is a song I just made by rekindling the angst I used to have during my teenage dirtbag years. Its still rough on the edges but sometimes its better that way!
Ever felt unaccepted? Ever felt you don't belong?
At least the good news is, you're not alone. Welcome to the club! You know what they say; "Misery loves company"! Time to get back to the old school kick-ass rock. No more Mister Nice Guy!
Who needs a society that only cares for the filthy rich and famous, the "beautiful people" with rotten souls, anyway? They say its a eat world out there, so let the dogs eat themselves. We're not amongst them. We're wolves baby! We devour the enemy!!!
Nobody wants to be like you, everyone hates you
You hate yourself more than anyone else
kinda like I do
So come with me, 'coz I hate myself
but I don't hate you
together we can conquer the world
there's nothing we can't do
They don't understand
they don't give a damn
they don't care about you
come take my hand we'll get away,
and we won't care too
Chorus:
Just let it out! All hell breaks loose tonight!!!
Just scream and shout! We will stand up and fight!!!
So bring it on! They'll all fall one by one!!!
Come one, come all! Now its their time to run!!!
Rejection, discrimination, blatant hypocrisy!!!
I'm so sick of your pathetic smiles!!!
I don't need norms of conformity!!!
You hate me 'coz you're all stereotypes!!!
You're all blind!
You refuse to open your eyes!
I don't know why.
You deserve your own kind!
to quote one of my friends; "You laugh at me 'coz I'm different. I laugh at you 'coz you're all the same!"

You, an illusion? (Still unfinished)

I was dreaming of a long distance love
I was flying so high up above
defying gravity, defying reality
endlessly searching for destiny
And then I saw you
so distinct from the rest
what I felt was all true
you inspired me the best
I know how insane and funny it sounds
but in you, new live I have found
my feet and my heart yearn to be homeward bound
my arms hope to someday wrap you around
I am still dreaming and dying for your kiss
I were to write wishes, you would top my list
but I guess you think of me differently

Trapped In A Postcard

This is your dream, not mine!
I wanted water, but you wanted wine
Your wanton desires of prosperity
Comfort and security your vanity
At the expense of my freedom
for utter loneliness and boredom
You say this is all for me
Well, I hope now you're happy
To see me locked up in this cage
Hear my chained soul's relentless rage!
Wanting to break free
Wanting to be me
I've been trapped in a postcard
for a hundred and fifty days now
I try to look forward
But it brings me down somehow
I've gotta' get out of here
This place is killing me!
If I still don't make it clear
Then to you, I'll never be!

Today, I try to live a life
and try to take things in stride
I try anew to brush tears aside
Another day to hide this pain inside
Today, I look forward to tomorrow
Despite emptiness, despite sorrow
But how much longer will I wallow
And what direction should I follow
Today, I try to wear a smile
get up and walk the extra mile
Is this my fate or just a trial?
Is all this waiting worth the while?

If I could only... I'm Sorry!

If I could only be what you want
If I could only be what you need
If I only knew where to start
If I could just make you believe
I'm sorry that I made you mad
I'm sorry for whatever I did
For I never want to make you feel bad
By my thoughts and words, and even in deed
All I want is to see you smile
To show I care every once in a while
To be there when you're sad and lonely
To do whatever it takes to make you happy
I'm sorry, If could only
be someone else, you'd rather want me
to be considered trustworthy
I'm sorry, I can only be me
If I could only turn back time
If you could only read my mind
And show to you this heart of mine
Then the truth in me, you'll find
I just want to make it clear
I'd never want to hurt you dear
There's nothing more on earth I fear
Than see you disappear from here
With all my heart, I'm really, really sorry!

Why?

Why do we ask questions
that we know answers to?
What's with the complications?
Why can't it be me and you?
Why do I dare?
Why do I care?
Why do I always
want to be there?
By your side, even if unseen
If only to prove, my intentions are clean
Here in my mind, you seem so surreal
But I just can't help how I feel
Why do I shoot for the stars?
Why do I hopelessly scream?
Have I gone way too far?
Shall I hold on to this dream?
Why do you make me sad?
Why do I miss you?
Why do I want you so bad?
Why do I love you?!

The New Rivermaya?
|

I just saw Rivermaya perform "Awit Ng Kabataan" with who seems to be their new vocalist, who's name is yet to be known (and might as well stay that way) in MYX MO 2007 on You Tube, and I cannot help but notice (and comment on) the obvious. This replacement sounds like a second rate trying hard copycat, trying to be somewhere in between a Bamboo and a Rico Blanco clone, or a hybrid if you will. At first, he seemed to be ok but he couldn't sustain it during the high parts, oftentimes caught in between a vibrato and a scream. Its seems like he's confused with who to mimic; Bamboo or Rico? And neither of them did he do justice to!
First of all, you're the new frontman of a very popular band thats been through a lot of revamps and storms including the latest one, that could be lethal (having lost your leader and cheif songwriter) almost as often as we try to change presidents. I don't think you'll get fans (true ones) excited if you go out for the first time sounding like a mediocre cover singer singing an anthem that your own band has been known for. I mean, its alright if you're from a different band covering another and paying tribute to them. Some bands do a great job of sounding like the original but others do their own version and manage to "come original". Its your band now, dude! The new Rivermaya is supposed to be about moving on, not about getting stuck in the past, so get over Bamboo and Rico. You have to make your own identity as a singer. You're not in a cover band!
The only good things that I can see in this guy is that he looks good and young. I hope this isn't the only reason the band got him. Otherwise, a lot of long time listeners (like me) would be disappointed! It would be interesting to know and hear about what Bamboo and Rico would have to say about their former band's neophyte sub (off the record). I could just imagine! Well, I hope I just judged him early. I also hope the way he struggled and choked was just a case of first major gig jitters. I can't wait to hear the new Rivermaya songs just to find out if this guy really has something to offer. Otherwise, this does not bode well for the group that call themselves "Ang Banda Ng Bayan". Its hard to fill in the shoes of Bamboo and Rico, but that's exactly why you should have your own style! Sorry for being skeptical, but I hate to see a well respected band and one that I grew up (and old) listening to, lose its luster.
Good thing, the video was followed by Urbandub performing their new single. Listening to it for the first time, I can tell that they're trying to change up and variate a bit (like they always seem to) but the signature sound is still there (a mark of all great bands). Its not as catchy or as hard-hitting/driving as their previous releases, but the good thing about them is that the more you listen to their songs, the more you dig 'em and get hooked to their sound!
Anyways, here's the search string for all those interested and those who haven't viewed it yet; Rivermaya & Urbandub @ myx mo 2007. Feel free to post your comments, suggestions, violent reactions or what have you, hehe! 
Enjoy it with discernment. Peace out!
Mabuhay ang tunay na Himig-Pinoy!!!

Lookin' out of my lonely window
Wondering what lies ahead
It seems its only sorrow
Would I be better off dead?
Yesterday and tomorrow
Is just the same as today
In sadness, too long I've wallowed
Until you came my way...
I wish you were right here with me tonight
Whispering the words that make it feel alright
Nothing else here could ease this pain inside
Coz you are my star, you are my shimmering light!
As I walk back home to catch my train
Questions run through my mind
'Coz I've watched time go down the drain
Waiting for love so hard to find
And then there was you, so young and promising
But I guess I'm not just good enough
I've just been hopelessly dreaming
So for you, I made this song to sing
I wish you were right here with me tonight
Whispering the words that make it feel alright
Nothing else here could ease this pain inside
Coz you are my star, you are my shimmering light
I go to bed and close my eyes
I try my best to fall asleep
I'm sick and tired of living lies
As I try so hard not to weep
Why do they all say I'm this and that
and that there's someone out there for me?
Well, I don't need a pat on the back
So why can't you just be the one for me?!

My Waterloo

My Waterloo
She is my greatest dream
She fills me with desire
She makes my spirit sing
She lights in me a fire
As I count the endless nights and days
I see myself alone in haze
I try hopelessly to find ways
To figure out this crazy maze
But she will always stay a dream
However real she may seem
However much I burn for you
You will always be my waterloo!
