the producers of CNN are exceptionally competent: in less than ten minutes, they were able to contact me, do a quick Q&A, and schedule a quick interview.

Daraan lamang nina Agat Morallos at Tina Balajadia

Di ko inakalang
Aabot sa dulo
Na magwawakas yaring pag-ibig mo

Parang isang awit
Minsa’y parang langit
Minsan mayron ding ligaya at pait

May lambing man ang himig
May tamis man ang titik
Balewala pa rin ang tinig

Mayro’ng hangganan
Mayro’ng katapusan
Akala’ y aabot kailanman
Pag-ibig mo pala ay daraan lamang

Dati’y laging nariyan
At inaawitan
Ang pusong akalang di ka bibitaw

Aking natutuhan
Ang ika’y hayaan
At tatanggaping di tayo kailanman

Daraan lamang nina Agat Morallos at Tina Balajadia 

dark side of the moon

pink-floyd-dark-side-of-the-moon-2

We used to play Side B of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon at the parties in Novaliches back in the day because you could slow dance with the girl of your dreams for over 15 minutes. Tigas titi time indeed.

I didn’t know why I liked this then but I just latched on to songs right away. I love it even more now because I learned about how the album was created and now understand the lyrics. It did help that David Gilmour played so fucking good.

The album cover is iconic. You see it in a rack and you immediately grin from ear to ear because you know right away what it is.

revolver

beatles-revolver

the beatles revolver and rubber soul are my personal favorites. this is the time when “love me do” turned into “norwegian wood” – the beatles were at the height of their songwriting power and were creating songs that were deep but catchy pop.

claus voorman, a friend from their hamburg days, designed the album cover. blew my mind, the first time I saw it. i was only 4 years old.
