this particular jam was entitled "dreamscapes," but i'm not sure if this is the song's final title. Alex wrote the lyrics and did the vocal melody, while the chord pattern was Kiko's idea. i did bass duties on this piece and NAGPUTUKAN ANG MGA KALYO KO sa sobrang sakit! ang lousy ko, pakshet... hindi naman kasi talaga ako marunong mag-bass, sumusunod lang ako sa chords most of the time - oo, alam kong wala ako sa presinto, pero yun ang paliwanag ko.
this was "recorded" during the late Sunday afternoon of March 1, 2009 at Kiko and Mai's house in Tandang Sora, using Alex's phone.
we'll probably jam again this Sunday, and afterwards i'll be in office hell - and i don't know when we'll be able to pull off another one of our "pulpulero sessions." God, i hope they'll be semi-regular sessions. and i'm humbly praying for that.
here are the lyrics written by Alex:
as soon as you're alone, you never have to worry 'bout the monsters in the closet and the nightmares you've been keeping to yourself.
I don't know how you do it but I never can, never can reveal it, yeah
and yeah I can't do it like you, yeah
yeah I can't do it like you, yeah
I can't do it like you, yeah
I can't do it like you
do it like you do it now, you do it and you do it
Keep away from trouble.
The dreamscapes are illusions but they are all true, all are true inside of you.
Never let me see them. Your eyes are terrifying, they are so untrue, but they're enough to burn me and
yeah I can't do it like you, yeah
yeah I can't do it like you, yeah
I can't do it like you, yeah
I can't do it like you
do it like you do it now, you do it and you do it

parang scandal ah...heheh biro lang. alam mo pre, eto yung mga pinakamasasayang stage nung pag-banda, yung naguumpisa pa lang. Passionate pa mga kabanda mo, wala pang mga ere. Puro music at pagtugtog lang talaga, walang bullshit. Minsan masaya sumikat o makakuha ng maraming gigs, pero di ko ipagpapalit ang mga panahong tulad nito.
ReplyDeleteSaka pucha astig tunog ah...sige lang.
salamat pre. actually, pitik-pitik lang naman ito - realistically speaking, ang hirap talagang mag-coordinate ng skeds kaya bihira mangyari ang ganito. andiyan yung day jobs, family time, at yung kanya-kanyang mga gawain, to name a few. wala nga kaming "pangalan" eh, as in talagang tugtog-tugtog lang - and yung mga pa-ere namin sa isa't isa, yun yung fun part sa mga moments na ganito. yung tipong nag-gagaguhan kami para matawa lang at hindi masyadong ma-pressure o kaya eh wag kaming mahulog sa trap na "taking ourselves too seriously". well, at least yun ang sarili kong pananaw - ewan ko lang kina Alex at Kiko. basta, masaya ako sa mga ganitong tagpo.
ReplyDeletesa maniwala ka't sa hindi, takot akong sumikat kasi totoong may stage fright ako. pero isa din ito sa mga pangarap ko, ang makagawa ng musika - kaya hangga't kaya, sige lang nang sige - at kahit pulpol ako, basta totoo yung nararamdaman ko sa pagtugtog, masaya na ako. hindi gaanong importante sa akin yung technical proficiency, although aminado akong gusto ko ring gumaling kahit papaano.
