Guns N' Roses - Estranged (Official Music Video)

I love the "killer guitar melodies" Slash dished out in this song... beautiful! One of the longest and most emotional tunes of GN'R, having one of the most awesome guitar solos in any of their videos... standing on stormy waters!! Straight up brilliant concept with movie-like cinematography!!!




"ESTRANGED" by Guns N' Roses

When you're talking to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
Alone....


So nobody ever told you, baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you, baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see


1, 2...


Old at heart, but I'm only 28
I'm much too young to let love break apart
Young at heart, but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart

I don't know how you're supposed to find me, lately
And what more could you ask for me?
How could you say that I never needed you?
When you took everything, said you took everything from me....


Young at heart, and it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart, but I mustn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out

Still talking to myself
And nobody's home
Alone....


So nobody ever told us, baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us, baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see


When I find of all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way, find another day
With all the changing seasons 
Of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time

And now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
You don't talk so loud, and you don't walk so proud
Anymore, and what for?


Well I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own
And drifting all alone
If it doesn't show, give it time
To read between the lines

'Cause I've seen the storm was getting closer
And the waves, they get so high
Seems everything we've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die....?


I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it through
This time, oh this time...
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die....

Ebe Dancel - "Paalam Kahapon" official music video

Katulad ng panahon sa labas ng aking silid-opisina sa mga oras na ito, muling pumapatak ang ulan sa isang sulok ng aking buhay. Wala man akong pinagpapaalaman, bahagyang umaasa sa posibleng bagong pagbati. Hindi rin nagsasara ng pinto, magbubukas lamang ng mga iba pa...

Napakaganda talaga ng kantang ito. Ebe Dancel, isa kang henyo ng musikang Pilipino!


(Hindi ko pag-aari ang video)



“PAALAM KAHAPON” ni Ebe Dancel

Paalam na kahapon, kay layo na pala ng noon
Di ko inakalang
Darating ang umagang
Ito…

Parang kanina lamang
Nung tayo ay mga bata
Walang kinatatakutan
Sa bukas ay walang pakialam…

Iwanan man kita, nakaukit ka na sa puso ko
Malilimot ba kita?
Nakaukit ka na sa puso ko
Oooohhhh-oooohhhh….


Paalam na kahapon, kailangan na ako ng ngayon
Alaala mo’y ikakahon
Ngunit kailanma’y hindi kayang
Itapon…


Ooohhh, tila utos ng mundong mabuhay akong pasulong
At huwag paurong
Patawarin mo ako kung
Unti-unti akong binago ng mundo… oooohhhh…
Ng mundo… oooohhhh…

Iwanan man kita, nakaukit ka na sa puso ko
Malilimot ba kita kung
Nakaukit ka na…?
Iwanan man kita, nakaukit ka na sa puso ko
Malilimot ba kita kung
Nakaukit ka na sa puso ko?

Ooohhh-ooohhh…..
(Nakaukit ka na…)
Oooohhhh-oooohhhh…..
(Nakaukit ka na…)

Sa puso ko….

"Angels or Devils", from the album "Stripped" by Dishwalla original lead singer JR Richards



As they say, “Nothing beats the original”. JR Richards is, and always will be, the best lead singer of Dishwalla. He just cannot be replaced (sorry, Justin Fox). Original frontmen of famous bands will always leave a tremendous void when they break away. They carry much of the sound and identity of the band itself. They are their group’s “voice”, after all.

I truly hate December now. I always feel this way towards the end of every Gregorian calendar year, since 2014. HAHAHA… very specific!!! I just can’t seem to absorb that I simply won’t get what I long for... always stopped on my tracks and dumbfounded. Why can’t I finally accept it?! I’m sick of feeling like an idiot over and over!! I really hope that this is the last. Yes, I’m saying it: I am fed up trying! I am so angry and sad at the same time. But it always is a better choice to be sad rather than be angry… Time to fight my demons again.


“ANGELS OR DEVILS” by Dishwalla, as performed by original lead vocalist JR Richards

This is the last time
That I'm ever gonna come here tonight
And this is the last time I will fall
Into a place that fails us all inside

Well I can see the pain in you
And I could see the love in you
And fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time…

The angels they burn inside for us
And are we ever, are we ever gonna learn to fly?
The devils they burn inside of us
And are we ever gonna come back down, come around?
I'm always gonna worry ‘bout, the things that couldn't make us cold…

This is the last time
That I'm ever gonna give in tonight
And are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear to see

Well I can see the pain in you
And I can see the love in you, oooohhhh….
And fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time…

The Angels they burn inside for us
And are we ever, are we ever gonna learn to fly?
The devils they burn inside of us
And are we ever gonna come back down, come around?
I'm always gonna worry ‘bout the things that could break us

If I were to give in, I’d give it up and then
Take a breath, make it deep, 'cause it might be the last one you get
Be the last one that can't make us cooooold, la la la la la la,
That couldn't make us cooooold, la la la la la la, ooooohhhhh…..
I'm always gonna worry ‘bout the things that couldn't make us cold…

DECEMBER 25, 2018

“I knew you’d come back when I already have someone else waiting for me.” Those were the words I saw on your social media public post.

It looked so vivid that I actually thought it was real when I woke up. I felt you would probably totally block me again; I AM partially blocked in reality, anyway. (Well, actually just partially blocked in 1 account and virtually blocked in all remaining social network accounts.) I know that for a fact. BUT IT IS INDEED YOUR RIGHT TO DO SO. I tried to check and look at what I COULD see, and realized it was just a dream. Or was it?

Yes… after a long time, I dreamt of you again. Exactly on the day I swore I will start forgetting. I should have known that being (one of) the first to greet you would have psychological repercussions!

I’m not sure I understand what it means, or if it ever was meant for me in the first place. But I had a strong feeling: that I’ve been defeated, probably a very long time ago. From the looks of it, maybe things won’t change back to the way they were before. Maybe we’ll keep avoiding each other until one of us settles down. I tried to start communicating with you but I could only go so far as a casual birthday greeting on a message board of our common friends. I know you won’t talk to me privately anymore… besides, why would you need that? I keep thinking the suplada/mataray/antipatika you would answer back at me. Sorry, that’s what you always made me feel ever since my confession. I just don’t want to “dislike” you further for that. Naiinis na talaga ako sa 'yo minsan! And maybe that's a "good" thing.
