SomedayDream



As we go through a phase where the OPM scene is conquered by foreign acts, all those Filipino songs that linger inside cabs, jeepneys, convenience stores and probably in every teen's mp3 player are replaced by a language that an ordinary pinoy can't understand, it is a different feeling knowing that a different-sounding pure Filipino artist is frequently hitting the radio charts.

It was a rainy afternoon when we dropped by a recording studio and Rez aka SomedayDream happened to be there. We were there to listen to a friend's new album that has already been released months ago, and then a catchy unfamiliar digital pop song started playing caught our attention. To describe it easily, it is somehow similar to the previous independent artist Owl City. I thought, for a 20-year-old new artist, in the dark age of the OPM scene, how can he pull this off?

But a few months later, I got to tune in to my usual radio station and his first independently released song "Hey Daydreamer" is climbing the charts on speed. DJs were receiving calls who the artist was and also were surprised that he is Pinoy. The track is not your ordinary feel-good song that would just make you sway and sing along. It would make you tap your feet and clap with the rhythm. (So I suggest that you will never do that while driving.)

Somedaydream is Rez himself. Similar to Chris Carraba as Dashboard Confessional that started being a solo artist then grew as a band. One thing about SDD is it makes us anticipate for his next songs that will soon invade the airwaves and hopefully start a new trend to rebuild the striving music industry.

Love The Way You Lie (Eminem ft. Rihanna)

Song of my life. Geezus.



I was just trying out youtube instant where as you type letters, the video it suggests is shown live and it changes along as you type. I randomly typed "L" and this is the first thing that appeared. I first heard it live when I was watching the VMAs but I didn't care at first. So I watched the video and saw Dominic Monaghan (Lost) and Megan Fox (who doesnt know Megan Fox? Raise your hand and give yourself a slap on your own face) until the song made a lot of sense. Words started to seep inside me until the third chorus broke my heart.

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife
In my windpipe
I can't breathe
But I still fight
While I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right
It's like I'm in flight
High of a love
Drunk from the hate
It's like I'm huffing paint
And I love it the more that I suffer
I suffocate
And right before im about to drown
She resuscitates me
She fucking hates me
And I love it
Wait
Where you going
I'm leaving you
No you ain't
Come back
We're running right back
Here we go again
It's so insane
Cause when it's going good
It's going great
I'm Superman
With the wind in his bag
She's Lois Lane
But when it's bad
It's awful
I feel so ashamed
I snap
Who's that dude
I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her
I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength
( * )
You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe
When you're with them
You meet
And neither one of you
Even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills
Used to get 'em
Now you're getting fucking sick
Of looking at 'em
You swore you've never hit 'em
Never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face
Spewing venom
And these words
When you spit 'em
You push
Pull each other's hair
Scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down
Pin 'em
So lost in the moments
When you're in 'em
It's the rage that took over
It controls you both
So they say it's best
To go your separate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
Cause today
That was yesterday
Yesterday is over
It's a different day
Sound like broken records
Playin' over
But you promised her
Next time you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane
( * )
Now I know we said things
Did things
That we didn't mean
And we fall back
Into the same patterns
Same routine
But your temper's just as bad
As mine is
You're the same as me
But when it comes to love
You're just as blinded
Baby please come back
It wasn't you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship
Isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens
When a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is
I love you too much
To walk away though
Come inside
Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity
In my voice when I talk
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed
I'll aim my fist
At the dry wall
Next time
There will be no next time
I apologize
Even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
I'mma tie her to the bed
And set the house on fire
( * )


This tells a story of where we should all learn how to draw the thinnest line between self-destruction and love. But who are we to set rules, right?

Tadhana - Up Dharma Down

Last week, UDD announced a new single for GMA's new soap and today, I heard the song which by the way, could stand on its own and I am a hundred dalmatian sure that this is gonna be a hit.

Oh the words. And Armi's enchanting voice.

Tadhana - Up Dharma Down

Sa hindi inaaasahang pagtatagpo ng mga mundo
May minsan lang na nag-dugtong, damang-dama na ang ugong nito
Di pa ba sapat ang sakit at lahat na hinding-hindi ko ipararanas saýo
Ibinubunyag ka ng iyong matang sumisigaw ng pag-sinta

Ba’t ‘di papatulan ang pag-suyong nag-kulang
Tayong umaasang hilaga’t kanluran
Ikaw ang hantungan at bilang kanlungan mo
Ako ang sasagip saýo

Saan nga ba patungo, nakayapak at nahihiwagaan
Ang bagyo ng tadhana ay dinadala ako sa init ng bisig mo
Ba’t di pa sabihin ang hindi mo maamin
Ipauubaya na lang ba ‘to sa hangin
‘Wag mong ikatakot ang bulong ng damdamin mo
Naririto ako’t nakikinig saýo
