Inspiration

"Ikaw" (You) - Sharon Cuneta



This song is the song of all songs. It is how I love and how I would want to be loved in return. It is the song that pops into mind whenever I feel like singing in Tagalog. All of the songs that Sharon sings inspire me. And I could use a lot more of this right now. It starts with me.

Lyrics:

Ikaw ang bigay ng Maykapal*
(You are a gift from God*)
Tugon sa aking dasal
(As an answer to my prayer)
Upang sa lahat ng panahon
(So that all through time)
Bawat pagkakataon
(Every moment)
ang ibigin ko'y ikaw
(You'd be the one I'll love)

Ikaw ang tanglaw sa 'king mundo
(You are the light of my world)
Kabiyak nitong puso ko
(Half of my heart)
Wala ni kahati mang saglit
Na sa iyo'y may papalit
(No one could replace you even for a second)
Ngayo't kailanma'y ikaw
(There is only you, now and forever)

Ang lahat ng aking galaw
Ang sanhi ay ikaw
(Everything I do, I do it for you)
Kung may bukas mang tinatanaw
(If there is a future to look forward to)
Dahil may isang ikaw
(It is because of you)
Kulang ang magpakailan pa man
(Forever is not enough)

Upang bawat sandali ay
(So for each moment)
Upang muli't muli ay
(Again and again)
Ang mahalin ay
Ikaw
(You will always be the one I love)

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...

Play Pretend

"Animal" - Neon Trees I think of a car commercial. A group of fun-loving teens riding along in a convertible to the beach with their tanned limbs dangling from each side. I could see the waves crashin' against the cliffs as they drive pass with the sun and wind whippin' their golden blond hair over their bug-eyed sunglasses. I hear laughter and this song blasting in the background. I see newly-polished red toe nails and matching swimwear from American Apparel. I smell suntan lotion and tropical kiwi-strawberry body splash. A picnic basket filled with junk food sits side-by-side next to a big, red beer cooler chillin' in the backseat! Everyone's burstin' with bright smiles, white teeth, and energy! What a total California Summer cliche! My ultimate nightmare! But... it is a good song and sometimes a gal gotta step outta my element and play pretend every once in a while as if I will ever be able to fit into this stereotypical mold. Now all this Barbi...
