sound tRip

Travelling a familiar road would be unnerving without the company of your sound system. True?

Not totally. I've gone on the roads of the Laguna-to-Quezon route for a number of times now but the scenes still awe me; yeah it's familiar but they still look stunning to me, even without a system.

So what am I trying to say?

My point is that music has the ability to distract you from what you actually see and take you far to the depths of imaginations. Layo no?

Last Christmas break, while I'm stucked inside Paj tarnishing the car seat with a butt-mark and observing how woodwashed the old houses are now since I last saw them, the noisy and very bakya Love radio distracted me from my annual paint-analysis and before I knew it, I've already made a story, a sad story, out of the songs I heard.

It all started when I first saw you.
I think I’ve finally found
the one that I’ve been looking for.
I knew that it was you
as soon as you walked thru that door
No, I didn’t know what to say,
just one smile you brightened up my day.
And now all I really want to do today is
I wanna get close to you ( I wanna get close)
cause I couldn’t take my eyes off you (can we get close).
Oooh baby, I’m blinded by you (everyone knows) everyone knows,
and it shows I wanna get close.

As days went by
Bawat araw sinusundan
'Di ka naman tumitingin
Ano'ng aking dapat gawin
Kailan (kailan), kailan mo ba mapapansin ang aking lihim
Kahit ano'ng aking gawin, 'di mo pinapansin
Kailan (kailan), kailan hahaplusin ang pusong bitin na bitin
Kahit ano'ng gawing lambing, 'di mo pa rin pansin

But you still won't notice me
Ninais kong mapalapit sayo, ninais kong malaman mo.
Ang mga paghihirap ko balewala lang sa'yo.

You happened and I got obssessed
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am.

Even went crazy
I see you through the smoky air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare
You're so close but still a world away
What i'm dying to say is that
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I've never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new
You'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you
Crazy for you.

Deeper and deeper I've gone
Because I fall so deep
You never know how far I go
And I know why hearts beat desperately
I fall so deep.

Your presence almost drowned me
He's a brick and
I'm drowning slowly off the coast and
I'm headed nowhere.

Then strange things happened
Self-denial is a game
Its strange i never would've
wanted if until there was you.
Because i have learned that love is beyond
what human can imagine,
the more it clears the more i have to let you go.
But now i don't understand why im feeling
so bad now when i know it was my idea.

And slowly everything went blue
It's all because of you, I'm feeling sad and blue
You went away, now my life is just a rainy day
And I love you so, how much you'll never know
You've gone away and left me lonely
Untouchable memories, seem to keep haunting me
Another love so true
That once turned all my gray skies blue
But you disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
And I'm wishing you were here with me

We started to drift apart
Kahit anong mangyari
pag-ibig ko'y sayo parin
at kahit ano pa
ang sabihin nila'y di magbabago
o mahal, maghihintay ako kahit kailan
kahit na umabot man ako'y na sa langit na
at kung di ka mkita, makikiusap kay athala
na ika'y hanapin...

But I won't give up
Pagkat sa isang taong mahal mo ng buong puso
lahat ay gagawin makita kang muli

Instead I let go.
But now I feel lost, don't know what to do
Each and every day I think of you
Holdin' back the tears, I'm trying with all my might
Because you've gone and left me standing All alone
And I know I've got to face tomorrow On my own....
But baby....
Before I let you go
I want to say I love you
I hope that you're listenin' 'Coz it'strue,baby
You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that no one else will do,
yeah So before I let you go
I want to say it..... I love you.

The end.

aaaaawwwwwww.... isn't this romantic? hahaahahaaa.... la lang.
