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!
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.
