The Final Set

I am a big a fan of YOUTUBE and its uploader. If I missed something offline, I would search youtube and I would be able to find it. Take for example the ERASERHEADS concert last March 7. I found a lot of high quality video of the concert, if you would watch every video that is availabe you might seem to have watched the whole concert. lol. But of course nothing beats being there LIVE!

I was thinking how it was so ironic that before the first and second concert someone dear to Ely passed away. First was his mom during their first concert and now Francis M. Actually Francis M is supposed to guest on the concert and sing this with the band.

I hope the album that FrancisM and Ely buendia collaborated would be released soon.

Kaleidoscope World

Yesterday, the ashes of Francis Magalona was laid to rest in Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina. While I was watching the footages of the burial on tv I cannot help but be happy and sad. FrancisM was too young to die. He was only 44 and have left eight children behind. But hates of to his wife, Pia, who really shows courage and strength throughout the ordeal. I saw almost her interview and really I am amazed of how she can be so calm and you can see she in her eyes she is mourning but she was able to not show it.

Anyway, I can’t help but smile when they played Kaleidoscope World. It is one of the greatest song of Francis M. Not only was the rhythm nice but also the message of the song. And here is the MTV of it. Which depicts the lives of us FILIPINO.

Read also the lyrics. As his wife said FrancisM’s song all have meaning. If we can only read into them they we can see the message.

So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin

Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most, yeah

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin’ round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can’t talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don’t ask me how don’t ask me why

Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most, yeah

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin’ round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

I remember singing this with the husband in our MAGIC SING last New Year’s Eve. We both love the song.

Don’t you like it?

When you don’t have anything to write on your TO DO LIST. But I think if you are in the situation as the one above you would be irritated, right? That’s what I am feeling right now. Just when I am not in the mood to do anything I have no choice but to move and work. Well, my mind is in a jumbled state right now so I am writing incoherently. But one thing I am sure….I AM NOT IN THE MOOD!
