mylab, kung nababasa mo ito, para sa iyo ang kantang ito. a reaffirmation of sorts, gusto ko lang sabihin, mahal pa rin kita kahit ulyanin na ako ngayon at puno na ng puting buhok. maraming salamat sa labimpitong taon. with … Continue reading →

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past

nag record ako ng cover version ng “If you see her, say hello“, dedicated sa lahat ng mga member ng SMAP. galing ito sa sentimental “blood on the tracks” masterpiece ni dylan. a poor copy compared to the original, if i might add, but worth listening to, kung gusto ninyong intindihin ang lyrics.

kung napapanood ninyo ang californication: sa episode #5, pinayo ng character ni david dochovny ang kantang ito sa anak niya nung first time itong naka experience ng heartbreak.

nung una ay quote galing kay keats ang pinayo ni dochovny pero humirit ang anak niya ng “is that the best you can do, dad? how about something from this century”, hence the dylan song as fatherly advice.

i love it when shows on TV reference lines from songs i like.

Patience

Little Boxes

ang isa sa paborito ko sa cable TV ay ang series na “weeds”. ang main theme song nito ay “little boxes” ni malvina reynolds. nag record ako ng dalawang cover versions.

The High Version – dedicated sa mga tinanggalan ng betlog na kaboses ni michael jackson
The Low Version – dedicated sa mga tulad kong may boses na galing sa ilalim ng lupa

which one do you think is better?

Hey, You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away

batjay — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 21:53:04 +0000

one of my earliest favorites – “You’ve got to hide your love away“. where did i first heard this? i can’t remember if it was in the “help” movie. i was so young at the time.

HOW YOU GONNA SEE ME NOW?

bukod sa aking very special gift (ahem) ay may kanta rin ako sa iyo this year mylab, especially recorded sa loob ng banyo ng apartment natin para may echo epeks. hehehe. alam ko, hindi ito love song in the normal way that love song goes. sino ba naman ang gustong makarinig ng kanta tungkol sa isang alcoholic, pero alam ko na gusto mo ito. happy 16th year anniversary.

with so much love,
jay
