THERE'S NO TOMORROW FOR THIS HEART OF MINE
GOODBYE TO LOVE- this is my favorite carpenters song. ok, i am a rocker but still, the carpenters are cool. i sing this in a bluesy kind of way with a deep voice. hehe. in effect, an anti-carpenters style to a carpenters song

I NEED MY LOVE TO BE HERE
HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE - another beatles song. i sing this with a capo so the guitar sounds a bit like a banduria. i don't know, sowehow, the effect of the guitar with my voice sounds good.

WHEN YOUR DAY IS LONG
EVERYBODY HURTS - this is one of my favorite REM songs. they say this was written for their friend river phoenix, who died suddenly of a drug overdose. it's a great song of consolation for people who are down and out and suicidal.

VISIONS OF THE THINGS TO BE
SUICIDE IS PAINLESS. two weeks ago, pinanood ko ang "M*A*S*H" (yung masterpiece ni robert altman, hindi yung tv series). ever since, dina nawala sa loob ng ulo ko yung paulit-ulit na pagkanta ng "suicide is painless", the lyrics of which incidentally, was composed by altman's son. kahit saan na lang kinakanta ko ito - sa banyo, sa opisina, sa train (much to the amazement of the other passengers). nung di ko na matiis, kinuha ko yung gitara kanina at nirecord ang aking take sa kantang ito.

ALL I WANT MY WHOLE LIFE THROUGH
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS - alam nyo naman sa pilipinas, during christmas parties, we love to have impromptu singing extravaganza's. so, most of the time, you are asked to do a song number. boyscout ako... laging handa. this song is my spur of the moment christmas piece.

I MUST BE DREAMING
I'LL FALL IN LOVE AGAIN - the carpenters are cool. minsan kinakanta ko ang mga kanta nila dahil... sige na nga, aminin ko na, ang galing ng boses ni aling karen.
