I got a call from a very close friend of mine today. I was awakened by her call and she just said "I want to hear your voice". While she was saying this, I told her that is a song. She didn't know about this song and I told her the lyrics so I remembered this beautiful song. I have this song saved on my portable music player.I know this is what I needed during these times and a friend who will always give me company. Thank you, you give me strength to keep moving on. Your vote of confidence and voice of encouragement sustains...

Lyrics | Abba lyrics - Fernando lyrics My mom loves to sing, no wonder I'm so inclined to music. In fact, the rest of my family members are: my dad, who sings duet with my mom; my sister who sings so great especially with beer in hand; my big brother, who had for himself his own videoke machine and; our youngest brother, whose song I have previously featured here in my blogsite (title: STAY). Fernando is a song that would remind me greatly of my birthplace: it's called San Fernando, La Union (North of Manila, here in...

This is an Abba song that my mom used to sing in what we call "magic sing". We were one of the fortunate families who got the first edition of such gadget for entertainment. It was circa 90s. Of course, prior to that, my mom had already been singing, even before she was born (wink)... singing is her twin.Funny thing that I remember this song so much because next to singing, my mom is also fond of that "sports". That kind of sports you will usually see in casinos. When this song was played or sung by her, I almost always...

This is where I would start my Mamma Mia saga. Everyone knows about this musical movie consisting of Abba songs. For the succeeding posts, let me impart with you my stories behind some songs of Abba.It all started with the song Chiquitita.I remember watching a televised singing contest with my parents. It was "Ang Bagong Kampeon" hosted by (the late) Bert Marcelo and Ms. Pilita Corales (translation: "The New Champion" circa 80s). It was the first time I learned about the song when one of its contestants sung it as a contest...

Such a timing song! I intend to blog about David Cook's rendition of Mariah Carey's Always Be My Baby, but I have to keep that hanging for the meantime.My writer partner just blogged about parting ways and as I was browsing the internet, I came accross this song by an artist who happened to be another personal favorite. I guess this is a new song after "Light On". It's like this song sung the present feelings and thoughts of music247, my fellow blogger here.Come Back To Meyou say you gotta go and find yourselfyou say that...

Ill Never Go - Erik SantosThe site of him saying goodbye is still very clear in my mind. I can exactly recall how, every second I was with him that very day counts.We both decided to give each other a space. I wish I could stop the time so I'll never have to say goodbye. It breaks my heart little by little letting him go, but it was a step we both have to painfully undertake. I've never acted like this before. It was such a humbling experience -putting myself down- just to make him stay and hold on to the relationship....

I believe this is the second song I will post by Billy Joel (I came to know him because of this song). This is the most influential song to my thirst for knowledge. This embraces a lot of things in our lifetime (even before I was born).I consider this a very influential song because when I entered high school, I know I had an edge in our History class because I was already oriented about some places, events and persons around the world because of this song. I love singing, I will claim that over and over again. Because...

A recent loss to my favorite artists here in the Philippines is Francis M. As one newspaper headline said it: "Cancer claimed Francis M's life". The news was really devastating. I have appreciated Francis M when I was still in high school. As a teen-ager in the 90's, he was an icon. I remember a lot of his songs and this song I loved the most. This was more of a rap and I remember I love listening to this music using my brother's walkman (truly vintaged). I love the way this song was sung and he was just so good. I memorized...

I was with my cousin the other day. We were just having some fun time at a restaurant when suddenly the owner brought out their "videoke". She (my cousin) asked me to sing -have I mentioned singing is my second nature? Perhaps she knows me enough to have not asked me if I can sing at all but she asked me to sing. I'm a song lover, no wonder I have this blog site. However, being confronted what to sing at that moment, my mind was blank. I have sang a lot of songs already and I don't know what to sing. She told me about this...
