30 Seconds to Mars

I just recently discovered this band "30 seconds to Mars." I was actually on the mall looking for a new headset/earphone to replace my IPod earphone since the right piece is no longer working. While strolling and looking for a store that sells good quality earphones, I passed by MAC store that sells, of course, IPod series. I tested and listened to one vacant free-to-listen ipod (but i listened not because I am interested with the Ipod since I already have my own IPod touch but to test the quality of headset they are using, which on that time is a Bose headset). But oooppss, that god damn headset cost P8000!! What the.. Before that, the song playing on the Ipod was a song from the band 30 seconds to Mars, "The Kill." I enjoyed the song and memorized the name of the band. The song was catchy and easily get my taste of music since I am into rock genre. When I got home, I hurriedly search the internet and downloaded that song. After sometime, I have discovered some of their popular singles and after a week, downloaded their 2 albums!

Music. Journey. Paramore. to misery business.

Music has been part of my life and I think everyone's life too. Yes. I am a certified addict when it comes to music. I dunno... I think same with how other people connect with this language, I feel a part of me was complete once I started listening to songs. You are full of emotions and people of different nations and race connect to a universal language called music. 

Love songs, R&B, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Alternative... name it. Music of different genre but with the same purpose... to express oneself.

LSS - Terminal -

I just came across the song Terminal sung by Rupert Holmes on my Ipod. I can't even remember when did I put that song on my playlist... hmmm.. going back... it's also a very good timing that I was riding the bus when this song starts playing on my earphones.. and the song goes like this.. (see also my interpretation below)

I've come back this mornin' to where I first came alive
Here within this terminal where the buses arrive 

I was a commuter on the 804
Work for a computer on the 19th floor and...

You came down the aisle of the bus and you sat by my side
Shoulder up to shoulder we shared that 9 o'clock ride
Oh, my heart was screamin' as you left your seat
Followin' your movements I was at your feet and...

Oh, down into the terminal both of us smiled
So we entered the terminal just as you smiled
"Won't you leave out work for today?" you ask of me then
So I phoned-in-sick on the way to the home of a friend
We were all alone from 10 A.M. till 3
Really thought the fire had gone out of me but...

You awoke the sleep of my life from gray into red
Made the weary wonder of Wall Street rise from the dead
Could have held up budding my entire life
But I had to get home to the kids and the wife and...
So I left for the terminal where I began
Baby, no, I wouldn't have left if I'd been half a man

So here I am this morning where love had asked for the dance
Here within this terminal where I passed on a chance
Lord, I'll never find her though I've truly tried
Probably she's found another bus to ride and...

I am now about to begin the last of my days
I'm within what others would call a terminal phase
I myself can only say it's livin' dead
Ridin' to the office with a song in my head that goes...

La da da...
And you know it grows
La da da...
Oh, la da da...
Oh, la da da...

My Interpretation
This is a very sad story of a man finding his true love in a wrong time and wrong situation. You can feel in the lyrics that the man really fell in love... and as if the woman was really her soulmate... Some part of the lyrics says "You awoke the sleep of my life from gray into red. Made the weary wonder of Wall Street rise from the dead." This only shows that the man felt life again after meeting the girl. And he wanted the woman to be with him forever but unfortunately he is already a father to his kids and a husband to his wife. A less than half a man he was. He would have choose to be with the girl if he was not committed.  He gave up his personal happiness for what is currently important also for him... A given up true love for what he thinks must matter on his present life. And he was left going crazy over love.

Love really makes people crazy. That's true.

tanya markova

Ilang araw na din akong na LSS sa kantang PICTURE PICTURE. 

Isang araw ay nagbablog ako ng mag guest ang bandang tanya markova sa show na wowowee.. Nung una ay hindi ko pinansin. Muka kasi silang papansin sa itsura nila. Maputing muka na parang gawgaw na ewan. Sabi ko, another trying hard na band na naman 'to. 

Wala kong intensyon na makinig sa music nila. Nagkataon lang na hindi ako nakaheadset that time while browsing my facebook. And to my surprise, parang may dating ung kanta nila.. catchy ung song. And then i stopped browsing for awhile and turned my ears to their song.

Mukang nabitin ako kaya i went back to browsing.. but this time sa youtube na. Di ko pa alam pangalan ng band nila kaya nagtanong pa ako sa kapatid ko.. "sino yang band na yan?" "tanya markova kuya.". So type ako sa youtube. "TANYA MARKOVA". Aba may lumabas, at un nga ung single nila na picture picture. May music video na din pla sila.. So i've checked.. hmmm.. ayus ah. malinis pla sila tumugtog.. kasi halos parehas ung dating sa live at sa recorded.

I've also checked some of their songs at okay naman. iba ung genre nila at catchy mga songs. simple pero may dating. Nacurious din ako why tanya markova name na band nila. Ung tanya pertains to Tanya Garcia.. crusj daw nila lahat. Ung Markova, ewan ko.. hahaha! baka trip trip lang. o baka naman si Tanya Garcia ay mukang bakla??? hahaha! di naman cguro...

Kaya ayan, change music muna ko sa blog ko. Set aside muna emoness... :) Ung tumutugtog po ay ung Picture Picture.. obvious naman ata.. first few words ng lyrics panay Picture(2x).. haha! 

Looking forward on buying their album.. Pero Silent Santuary muna bilin ko. haha! :)

Someday

Someday you’re gonna realize
One day you’ll see this through my eyes
By then I won’t even be there
I’ll be happy somewhere
Even if I cared

I know you don’t really see my worth
You think you’re the last girl on earth
Well I’ve got news for you
I know I’m not that strong
But it won’t take long
Won’t take long

'Coz Someday someone’s gonna love me
The way I wanted you to need me
Someday someone’s gonna take your place
One day I’ll forget about you
You'll see, I won't even miss you

Someday someday

Right now I know you can tell
I’m down and I’m not doing well
But one day these tears they will all run dry
I won’t have to cry, sweet goodbye

Julia Sheer

I was browsing and looking for talented people on the popular site Youtube when I came across a video by Taylor Swift. I am not a fan of Taylor Swift (haha!). But when I started to listen to Julia's cover, I begin to appreciate Taylor Swift's song. Now, I am getting a daily dose of Julia Sheer every time I logged to youtube. I even downloaded some of her cover and original songs. She is not popular like Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift. But I know she will be someday. Here's one of her cover videos.
