Dried Emotion can be Tragic

August 30, 2007

Walking home the other day with an earphone stuck on one ear listening to one of my old fave songs, emoting at every word, taking a ride on my own emotional rollercoaster I almost saw what could have been the nicest tragedy I could ever imagine happening on me.

*warning, suicidal emo shit below*

So yeah, ever since the bloom of the Kami nAPO Muna album, I’ve been asking where this song was and who revived it for the tribute. Yes, ladies and gentlemen through the influence of my own mother I’m a die hard fan of Apo Hiking’s songs even when I was just a little girl, while everyone else were dancing through the tune of 100% pure love plus more of the Universal Motion Dancer’s Butterfly and I saw the sign, and some other danceable songs which I think I better keep to myself now before you start throwing tomatoes at me saying “booohoooo….”

The melody of the song really struck me at a young age, just the melody coz I never really knew or remember the lyrics, not until I heard it again being played on the radio just recently. The melody was so strong (the same feeling I get after watching a powerful play) that after learning how to play ‘London Bridge is Falling Down’ on the piano, I was able to widow the first few lines of this song (which is really quite simple anyway).

With the power of technology (thank you Google!), finally, I’m able to savor the song more.

 

And by savor I meant listening to it every time I wish to emote, including that other day (points at first paragraph above)…

Here’s what happened:

(It would be better if you LISTEN TO THE SONG while reading what’s happening with me then)

TUYO NA’NG DAMDAMIN

MINSAN KAHIT NA PILITIN MONG UMINIT ANG DAMDAMIN
DI SIYA SUSUNOD, AT DI MAGLALAMBING

(wonders about my own love life):ha?:

MINSAN DI MO NA MAPIGIL MAPANSIN
NA TALAGANG WALA NANG NAIIWAN NA PAGMAMAHAL

:sigh:(sighs)

REFRAIN:
AT KAHIT NA ANONG GAWIN
DI MO NA MAPILIT AT MADAYA
AMININ SA SARILI MO
NA WALA KA NG MABUBUGA

(more sighs):sorry:

PARANG ‘SANG KANDILA NA NAGDADALA
NG ILAW AT LIWANAG
NAUUBOS RIN SA MAGDAMAG

:anongnangyari:(feeling heartbroken now)

(INSTRUMENTAL)

(by this time I crossed the street… still listening I over heard screeching tires just behind me and believe me… almost simultaneously coming to the end of the instrumental I saw myself in slow motion turning to see the source of the sound only to realize a car was actually inches away from hitting me and then…)

    Vintage APO — music and words that reach to your core; make your heart burn and melt, and simply overwhelm you.

    “Parang ’sang kandila na nagdadala
    ng Ilaw at Liwanag
    Nauubos rin sa magdamag”

    Tragic, raw, and sadly very real — yet still beautiful.

    Pero ingat lang Andy. Matutong maghunos dili.:)

    But nice post. Bigla ko tuloy naisalang ang APO album ko at para tuloy gusto kong bilhin yung latest APO tribute album (Kami nAPO muna ulit) first thing in the morning tomorrow. Ikaw ha, endi ka naman nila publicist no? Hehe Suba lang Andy.:)

    BTW, Jim Paredes is a blogger too ha. You know this right?
