This Could Be It

Please tread lightly Step inside the garden of my mind Please speak kindly Tragedy and I are intertwined But I can paint the sky with colors Of my misery (hmm) If you come closer, you can read it In my history (hmm)

Please go slowly Gentle is the water in my veins But I would be careful not to Bother creatures lurking just the same 'Cause once I feel the tide as it rises My boat capsizes

And every minute passing Could be time that I am spending Talking to you on the phone It's been too long since I have been alone And I am hoping That this could grow into something But who am I to know how you define a home? Oh I don't know you yet But this could be it

Please be warned, oh I'm a bit straightforward when I sing And I have the tendency to Get obsessed with every little thing 'Cause once I have a grain of thought That I've planted It blooms in my head

And every minute passing Could be time that I am spending Talking to you on the phone It's been too long since I have been alone And I am hoping That this could grow into something But who am I to know how you define a home? Oh I don't know you yet But this could be it

'Cause once I feel the tide I drown, I fight the current Pulling me down I overflow and I try to hide it

Now am I too much for you Way too damn much for you? No such thing as too much So you better take it or leave it But this could be it

This could be it Oh this could be it

When It Happens

Do you fear death? Well, I don’t. I fear the things that might happen to the people I’ll leave behind when I die. I am terrified by the fact that they will weep and mourn for me. I am afraid that they will grieve for me for the rest of their lives. I am scared that they might not be able to forget me. I actually like the idea of death — bidding goodbye to this cruel world, putting an end to the problems I am suffering from — but the thought that my loved ones would feel the same sorrow I’ve witnessed at funerals haunt me tremendously.

This song literally summarizes everything I want to tell the people surrounding me. It’s the 5th track of the album Playing Pretend in the Interim by Reese Lansangan, a Filipino musician who is best known for her debut album "Arigato." This is a song about death and how people mourn for a week or a month and how they continue on with their lives afterwards. It describes how funerals usually go — people wearing black shirts, crying, grieving, and reminiscing.

“So weep for me my darling dear,

Tomorrow you’ll move on.

I will leave my body here,

But you’ve got miles to go,

In a life I’ll never know.

So, move on.”

These lines say exactly what I want to tell everyone before I die. They are allowed to cry, to grieve, and to recall every memory I’ve embedded in their minds and hearts, but I don’t want them to be miserable because of my death. I want them to move on, to still see the beauty of the world, and to be fine without me. After I die, there would still be amazing things ahead of them, and I would just want them to embrace my death and go on with their lives. Of course, I would still want them to relive their memories with me, to look at my photo album my mom created, to visit the cemetery and place the most beautiful and fragrant flowers on my tomb, but I wouldn’t want them to cry again and be woeful because after all, it wouldn’t bring me back.

So, when it happens, grieve for me, put on my best picture in a frame, and tell your heartwarming stories about me to my visitors. But just like what Reese said in her song, when my bones are laid to rest, please go on as you were before.

When it happens, please move on along.

Here is a playlist I made for myself last year. Each song a semblance of who I am, reminders to always be light despite all the dark.

Another quick mini portrait for a local artist whose album I immediately fell in love with (first listened to "Old Skin" and I was immediately hooked, played her album on Spotify the rest of the day 😅)

P.S. I can't capture on paint the smoky, grainy quality of the original pic: this is the best I could do 🙃.

Dear Reese,

This is the best opportunity to have a duet with you.

You’ve been my favorite since I heard your song, “For the Fickle,” and now, you released another painful song, “Orbiting.” Thanks to TikTok, I get a chance so sing with you. You even shared this video in your feed! I’m very grateful. 

Your music kept my soul alive, no matter what my season is. When I’m sad, I listen to you. When I’m happy, I listen to you. Your voice heals me. 

Being a part of the Secret Song Society was one of the best things in my life. In every way I can, I’ll continuously support you, and share to everyone how much of a good influence you are in my life. 

I know we’re not very close, but I hope we get to know each other more. I hope I get to know the rest of the members, too! 

I wish you all the best, and whatever good things you have now, you deserve these all.

"Leave my body floating away Let the rain come down This is what I'm used to It's what I'm made of You'll see Find an anchors deep in the sea For your fickle mind and your cold feet And I'm the only one swimming While you're still waiting by the shore I made a list of things I love Just in case you go All my life has been about Waiting for people to go Your love's uncertain Won't you hold it down in chains Oh, won't you break me now so I won't feel the pain But all I want is steady love Leave my heart in steady love And all I want is steady love Empty your hands and hold me Give me steady love" -Reese Lansangan; For the fickles.

It finally arrived! Definitely for keeps! 🍂

Every song in this album is BEAUTIFUL (love the color theme as well 🟠🟢).

Reese Lansangan, Clara Benin, Muni Muni are just some of Filipino artists that make me believe that our OPM is still alive and full of soo much potential. Love that little by little they are now making their way in (though I will miss when their songs are just part of my secret playlist, my little music corner where I know only a few gets to listen).

sharing the first song that paved the way in my listening and loving the entire album

In Defense of Get Music Indie-Go… Sort of.

Pointing out the pointlessness of this shitfest is as done and obvious as pointing out Shotgun Combo’s sexism. So I decided to defend it... sort of. 

MCA’s Get Music Indie-Go is lame. If you think it’s cool, you’re objectively wrong. And you’re lame. You’re more basic than the new Harry Styles record. 

The line-up (save for NINNO because I love that guy) looks like it was assembled by some corny dad who’s trying to win over the affection of his high school daughter whose knowledge of “indie music” begins and ends with Arctic Monkeys’ AM. They really just took some of the most bland and commercial-ready local artists and lumped them together in one gig. The final nail in the coffin is guest band An Honest Mistake, a generic pop punk band from Malaysia (signed to Warner, mind you) that belongs more in PULP’s Bazooka Rocks than anywhere else. 

Despite that, I do think that GetMusic Indie-Go, as stupid as the event’s name is, can do a bit of good to local music. Aside from the fact that they are giving some “college acts” (a term they love using that makes this whole thing sound even more ham-fisted) the opportunity to get exposed to a huge audience, this event may become a gateway for many to more interesting music. The cheapest ticket you’ll get is P1000, and that’s already a huge difference from the standard P150-P300 + one free beer at bar gigs. And by doing that, I think MCA already knew that if you’ve angrily commented on MCA’s Facebook about the ridiculousness of the price, then you’re not their target audience. If you regularly go to bars to watch gigs, you’re not what they’re looking for. The audience that they’re trying to get are the people that are young, dumb, and sheltered enough to think that this is worth it. Honestly, that’s not entirely a bad thing. Because if these young, dumb, and sheltered kids can’t be bothered to go to Saguijo to watch real indie, at least they��ll get a lengthy swig of it here. And although one of the most problematic parts of this event is that they use “indie” to describe something that contradicts the literal meaning of its root word, they are at least spreading the term. They’re planting it into the minds of the people who are clueless about it. By doing that, MCA makes people curious, makes them want to learn about it more. This is like how getting into Blink-182 can get you into The Clash, how Slipknot can get you into Morbid Angel, and how Kanye West’s Yeezus got a lot of hipsters in training to check out Death Grips. 

I highly doubt that Get Music Indie-Go will ever be taken seriously. Not with that line-up, and definitely not with that terrible, terrible name. Still, I don’t think it deserves the amount of hate it gets. At it’s core, it’s the strawberry-flavored lube that’ll help ease the uninitiated into the coarse vagina/asshole to more interesting music. We all needed that at one point after all. You’d be lying if you didn’t.
