But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
HOMEWARD BOUND - simon and garfunkel classic. a song that came to mind last weekend. there we were - a pinoy couple uprooted from singapore trying to spend their first christmas in california and terribly missing home.

TILA MAS MAHIRAP MAINTINDIHAN
isa sa paborito kong kanta ng apo hiking society. kung di ako nagkakamali, galing ito sa "pagkatapos ng palabas" lp na ni-release nila under the old JEM record label. i remember my dad took me to the JEM record office in cubao during the late 70's at nakita ko roon sina danny javier. he gave me a copy of the record together with a lot of other goodies.

Casual conversations how they bore me
in 1979, supertramp released an LP called "breakfast in america". classic record dahil walang tapon na kanta. ang isa sa mga paborito ko roon ay ang kantang "casual conversations".
pakinggan ninyo ang cover version na ginawa ko. mayroong "overdub" of sorts. kinanta ko ng tatlong beses using my primitive recording equipment. di ko alam kung maganda o hindi - parang gregorian chant ng mga ngo-ngong monk.

WITH EVERY MISTAKE, WE MUST SURELY BE LEARNING
while my guitar gently weeps. george harrison's masterpiece. this version doesn't have eric clapton. ngyehehe. just me singing with a sloppy guitar.

NOTHING IS REAL
strawberry fields forever. another beatles cover - my favorite john lennon song together with "a day in the life". i always think about what our world would have been had john not been murdered. sayang - he was really a gifted artist.
he died 25 years ago today.

FOR TOMORROW MAY RAIN
I'll follow the sun. a beatles cover - this song was a favorite when i was a kid. pag inaawit ko ngayon, binabalik ako ng kanta sa novaliches. lugar na pinaglakihan ko.
