Better than Bahay Kubo

         Life without music is like grinding peppercorns using a mortar with a broken pestle, it's like listening at my father's whining about the electricity bill, it's like you're in the middle of cooking something and you run out of LPG, it's like you're a prawn-lover but allergic to shrimps.....it's like....OK....I really need some friends.

         I think there's something wrong with my music. Every time I play something out loud, people around me do this.....

          I've been receiving death treats lately because I've been playing loud and annoying music in my room. The native folks aren't appreciative of my effort on bringing good vibes through music. Maybe it's time to let go of Yoyoy Villame's catchy tunes(for now at least) and try those "haven't-tried" genres that are ready to explore and dig in. So, before someone come up with an idea to make my music stop (i.e. throw grenade in my room), I decided to stop tormenting their peaceful lives and try out something worth listening. I'm currently listening to Foster the People album and I really like all the tracks from it.

IMHO...they're the modern day Beatles

        After a few playing cycles, the song entitled Houdini became my most favorite out of the ten tracks (Pumped up kicks is my second favorite). I pronounces it "Hu-di-ne" because I'm Batangueno. The lyrics was like written about my life..hehe....very inspiring. Check this out...

Houdini

Rise above gonna start a war
Whatcha want whatcha need whatcha come here for
Well an eye for an eye and an F for fight
They're taking me down as a prisoner's riot

Got shackles on my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
Fast enough it's hard to hide
Sometimes I wanna disappear

When I feel good I play under warm distress
Pass it up on ability
Well you got whatcha want you never knew
Perfect gift from me to you

Yeah yeah yeah

Got shackles on my words are tied
Fear can make you compromise
Fast enough it's hard to hide
Sometimes I wanna disappear

[Raise up to your ability]
Never knew what I could find
What could come when we realize
Don't no one want to compromise

[Raise up to your ability]
Yeah I'm scared but I'll disappear
Run around before I'll come with you
Like he's someone who lost his way

[Raise up to your ability]
I know that you want it
Cause it was easy to see
Oh more for ability

[Raise up to your ability]
Yeah you're undecided
Hey so I can see it
Hey I'm gonna wanna run away / Hey I'm gonna mound your way

Just focus on your ability
Focus on your ability
Now focus on your ability
Focus on your ability

Gain again what they want to steal
Gain again what they want to steal
Then they can't get what they want to steal
Can't get what they want to steal.



If you want something different, try Foster the people. It's better than Bahay Kubo.
