Stay Away

This post is a show that sometimes love comes too good to be true.

Anne Mendoza again made everyone cry. haha. So her song, Stay Away, is a heartfelt song, telling of how love comes to easy and dreamy that you need to wake up from the reality that you were not meant for each other. Sometimes, we rush love. And sometimes we manage to make it like, yeah, this was my dream relationship. But, sometimes, love just ain't enough. Love was sometimes too good to be true. And sometimes, love was not all we needed.

Too much for that, here is Anne Mendoza with her new single (char!), Stay Away. Enjoy! :)

Is She Really Worth It?

Been very bad this night (oops, morning I mean). I'm supposed to study the lessons in ABE155 (Introduction to Marketing Management for the Agribusiness Enterprise, or simply marketing) but I decided to blog. Sorry I can't help myself. :P

Yeah, here is another Anne Mendoza's song. This is excerpted from miss Verna Sabsal's poetry. She got interested on the poem and made it an inspiration to make it more alive by music. I brand this as so damn good, I need to rewrite the lyrics and make it more of like the guy's perspective. And the start of the song has an excerpt from the movie "Just Friends". It somehow fitted the situation.

For those guys who are IN LOVE and have not received the expected, and girls who are HESITANT, here is Anne Mendoza with her song for you! XD

All Over Again (Piano Version)

I was just about to finish studying so I guess it would be worthwhile to take a breather sometimes and just blog the way out.

So Anne Mendoza could also play the piano. I have waited so long to hear this cool stuff that made more eyes cry than the original one. Plus, with a twist. She recorded it one night after being bored in their house. The acoustics makes it more sad. :|

You could compare the two versions if you want to. Just click here. :)

So everyone, Anne Mendoza again for the piano version of All Over Again. XD

Old Love Song

As you can see, this is my second Christmas Eve post.

So, making the yule tide colder, here is another fact. Love songs really never end. I know you remember the song "Longer" by Dan Fogelberg. Say, "King and Queen of Hearts" by David Pomeranz. Or "Always" by Atlantic Starr (you could say the other song by Bon Jovi). Making it more Christmas-y, "Last Christmas" by Wham. As long as it touches the hearts of people, it could always exist.

Just like feelings. As long as the memory is still there, it would haunt you. So it would be best to move on. But even though, when you turn back time (like turning the radio on), you still cry for it. Right? XD

Well, in relation to this, here's a song from Anne Mendoza, entitled Old Love Song. Enjoy! :)

Sana Nga Naman

Hey! This is gonna be my Christmas Eve post, since I have nothing to do. hehe.

Composing a melancholy in pure Tagalog is hard, but I think someone I knew did. Anne Mendoza just did. And I found it cool, trying to accompany some catchy beat.

Well, without any further ado, Anne Mendoza for her song, Sana Nga Naman. Enjoy! :))

Beautiful Days

This is another break, and it's like we are having a hard time apart. Fights, fussing, misunderstanding. But this I tell you, I'd still love her with this problems we overcame and those we are yet to overcome. The reason? It could be explained by this song. :)

So this is another Anne Mendoza's composition. But this time, she needed help from her two trusted bloc-mates, Trisha Anne Samantha Aligato and Betsy Tulio. Trisha (or Treeng, as she would like to be called) is also part of the group Koro Kantahanay, making her qualified to write and sing songs. Betsy is a writer on University of the Philippines Mindanao's official newsletter, Himati (no doubt she's part of the lyricists).

This song is actually recorded by Anne only as the three of them don't have time to record together. But still I consider this a worthy post. No one could make this music while studying. But the lyrics struck me. hehe. XD

Without further ado, here's the song! Hope you'll enjoy this. XD

All Over Again

Who would have thought that she would play some of the guitar solos at this song and would create a melancholic rhythm as Psalm Galope did? I never expected it as I heard it in while she used piano. More melancholic it is in piano, but I can't stand the way it was played with the guitar, specially with the lead part that made me smile. =)

Anyways, without further ado, Anne Mendoza Ladies and Gents! Such a performer. Enjoy!

U-turn

This should be another song of Shirley Anne Mendoza I am trying to upload for all to hear. She records most of her songs kasi, and she is approachable in this terms. haha. I also have two more budding composers coming up on my next blog, maybe (crossing fingers). But just wait, I'll be asking for their copywrite permissions sooner. XD

But for the meantime, here's Anne with her newest song, The Boy, este! U-Turn! haha. We listened at this song when she said she had a new song and then we recorded some parts. And now at last, she posted this on facebook. We like the song because of its sweet lyrics and catchy beat. Just listen to it. Go for it Anne! =)

Angel In Disguise

We were practicing for our KATINGUGAN pieces when we got bored and instead we went for a jamming. She then played this music, and we were singing along. I heard it from her account last summer, but I didn't get the chance to ask for her permission to post this thing.

Well, here is Shirley Anne Mendoza, appearing once again in my Blog post. KUDOS ANNE! More power!

Here's the video with the lyrics:

awit para kay juan dela cruz

I was trying to find something to blog about in the internet, until I saw myself tagged in this video my Choir-mate-slash-friend made. She, Shirley Anne Mendoza, is a freshman in The University of The Philippines Mindanao under the BA Communication Arts program. She is a member of a budding singing group in UPMin named KATINGUGAN.

She composed the song and compiled the pictures in the video. I think she is getting the hang of being in UP! =)

Here at last is the copy of the video!



anyways, the lyrics of the song so you could sing along..
Inyo bang nakikita
Inyo bang napapansin
Kalunos-lunos na kalagayan ng bayan natin
Atin mang bansa’y malaya kung ituring
Mamamayan sa kahirapa’y bilanggo pa rin

Mga kabataang sa kahirapa’y biktima
Kanilang kinubakasa’y di maipinta
Araw-araw nagdarasal ng kaginhawaan
wala na nga bang pag-asang sila’y aahon pa

Ikaw ako tayo lahat ay Pilipino
Bilang mamamayan anong magagawa mo?
Tayong lahat ay susi sa pagbangon ng bayan
Huwag hayaang magdusa kapwa mamamayan


Juan gumising ka at ngayo’y kumilos na
Gawin mong nararapat, gawin mo ang tama
Nasa iyong kamay ang pag-asang hinihintay
Ating bigyang liwanag kinabukasan ng bayan

isang mapaglayang araw po sa lahat! =)
