An Un-Yuletide Carol

Drew — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 14:22:11 +0000

Define irony. When you think you’d be singing a duet of warm romantic Christmastime songs with a special someone and then blindsidedly end up doing a solo of a bittersweet remorseful Yuletide song. Haha. Go ahead, laugh with me. I find it funny Happy Holidays everybody. It’s December 1st… turn on your holiday spirits.


Yule Shoot Your Eye Out Fall Out Boy A Santa Cause 2004

These are your good years
Don’t take my advice
You never wanted the nice boys anyway
And I’m of good cheer
Cause I’ve been checking my list
The gifts you’re receiving from me
Will be

One awkward silence
And two hopes you cry yourself to sleep
Staying up, waiting by the phone
And all I want this year is for you to dedicate your last breathe to me
Before you bury yourself alive

Don’t come home for Christmas
You’re the last thing I wanna see
Underneath the tree
Merry Christmas, I could care less

Happy new years baby
You owe me
The best gift I will ever ask for
Don’t call me up, when the snow comes down
Its the only thing I want this year

One awkward silence
And two hopes you cry yourself to sleep
Staying up, waiting by the phone
All I want this year is for you to dedicate your last breathe to me
Before you bury yourself alive

Don’t come home for Christmas
You’re the last thing I wanna see
Underneath the tree
Merry Christmas, I could care less

Don’t come home for Christmas
You’re the last thing I wanna see
Underneath the tree (don’t come home for Christmas)
Merry Christmas, I could care less

Sana (Hopefully)

Have you heard this beautiful song called "Sana" by Shamrock? You can hear it being played as Teng & Leah’s theme song in Mars Ravelo’s Captain Barbell. Yeh, I admit I became an avid follower of this hit TV series in the Philippines now being broadcast in GMA Global. I don’t know, but there’s something about this childish telefantasya that hooks and reels you in despite of how corny it may seem.

Anyways, after numerous playbacks and attempts of decyphering the song’s deep lyrical content and meaning (my tagalog is limitedly shallow ), I just discovered that the song somewhat relates to my current hopeless romantic state. What does that mean? Go fig! Hmmm… so is Drew in love? Whadya think? I’m already in love just by listening to this song.


Sana Shamrock Are You Serious? 2005

Langit na muli
Sa sandaling makita ang kislap ng iyong ngiti
May pag-asa kaya?
Kung aking sasabihin
Ang laman ng damdamin

Pinipilit mang pigilin
Na ika’y aking isipin
Wala na yatang magagawa

Sana’y hindi ipagkait sa ‘kin ang sandali
Na masilayan ka at marinig man lang ang tinig
Laging bukas ang puso ko
Upang ibigin ka
Laging wagas ang aking pagtingin
At aking pagsinta

Pinapangarap ka
Tinatanaw sa ulap
Ang iyong mga mata
Dinarasal kita
Hinihiling na sana ay lagi kang masaya

Pinipilit mang pigilin
Na ika’y aking ibigin
Wala na yatang magagawa

Sana’y hindi ipagkait sa ‘kin ang sandali
Na masilayan ka at marinig man lang ang tinig
Laging bukas ang puso ko
Upang ibigin ka
Laging wagas ang aking pagtingin
At aking pagsinta

Pinipilit mang pigilin
Na ika’y aking ibigin
Wala na yatang magagawa
Sana’y hindi ipagkait sa ‘kin ang sandali
Na masilayan ka at marinig man lang ang tinig
Laging bukas ang puso ko
Upang ibigin ka
Laging wagas ang aking pagtingin
At aking pagsinta

I Think I’m Falling

Drew — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 03:26:45 +0000

Grabbing straight from the title of this entry… yeh, I do think I’m falling. Care to guess who? Secret! There’s something about the soulful music of M.Y.M.P. (Make Your Momma Proud) that sets you in a euphoric mood (even when you’re not).

Try listening to Juris, the lead singer of the band, whose sweet angelic voice will make you feel lost in romantic bliss, paired in harmony with the soft acoustics of Chin (the guitarist) and you’ll feel so close to heaven when you listen to them perform.


I Think I’m Falling M.Y.M.P. Various Songs 2005

I Wanna tell you baby
That you’re the one that im thinking of
But your heart is still with ~~her~~ [him]
And i think ~~she’s~~ [he's] the one that you love
I only want you happy
Even if it’s not with me
Maybe one day
You’ll open up your eyes and you’ll see

(chorus)
That i think i’m falling
Maybe i’m falling for you
Yeah i think i’m falling
Baby i’m falling for you

(verse 2)
From the first time
You laid your lips on mine
It feels like the smile on my face
Will last till the end of time
But im not so sure
You’re the one that i should pursue
My mind tells me no
But my heart only says that it’s you

(chorus)
That i think i’m falling
Maybe i’m falling for you
Yeah i think i’m falling
Baby i’m falling for you

(bridge:)
Only time will tell
The mystery has yet to unfold
Who’s gonna feel love’s warmth
And the other left in the cold

(chorus)
Yet still i’m falling
Maybe i’m falling for you
Yeah i think i’m falling
Baby i’m falling for you
That i think i’m falling
Maybe i’m falling for you
Yeah i think im falling
Baby i’m falling for you

Be My Escape

Drew — Sun, 07 May 2006 18:57:36 +0000

Lord, my own impatience and insecurity were holding my faith in captivity. Forgive me for forcing it out of my own strength when I should just surrender it all to you, Father. I’m sorry. All I was trying to do is save my own skin… ohhh… but so are You

Be My Escape (Acoustic) Relient K Apathetic EP 2005

I’ve given up on giving up slowly
I’m blending in so you won’t even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention
It’s my one last shot at redemption
Cause I know to live you must give your life away

And I’ve been housing all this doubt
and insecurity
And I’ve been locked inside that house
All the while you hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though there’s no way of knowing
Where to go
I promise I’m going because…

I gotta get out of here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get out of here
And I’m begging you, I’m begging you, I’m begging you to be my escape

I’ve given up on doing this alone now
Guess I failed and I’m ready to be shown out
You told me the way and now I’m trying to get there
And this life sentence that I’m serving
I admit that I’m every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt
and insecurity
And I’ve been locked inside that house
All the while you hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though there’s no way of knowing
Where to go
I promise I’m going because…

I gotta get out of here
Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake (yeah)
I gotta get out of here
And I’m begging you, I’m begging you, I’m begging you to be my escape

I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made
And all I’m asking is for you to do what you can with me
But I can’t ask you to give what you already gave.

Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt
and insecurity
And I’ve been locked inside that house
All the while you hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out
That might be the death of me
And even though there’s no way of knowing
Where to go
I promise I’m going because…

I gotta get out of here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get out of here
And I’m begging you, I’m begging you, I’m begging you to be my escape

Hating Who I’ve Been

Drew — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 07:03:53 +0000

What is wrong with me? I’ve been backsliding from my faith. The worst part is, I’m aware of this person I became and I’m disgusted of it. Help me Lord and please forgive me for my sinful ways.

Scars Papa Roach Getting Away With Murder 2004

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I’m Drunk and I’m feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I’m pissed ‘cuz you came around
Why don’t you just go home?
‘Cuz you channeled all your pain
And I can’t help you fix yourself
You’re making me insane
All I can say is…

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you’re drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassion’s in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

I’m drunk and I’m feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You should’ve never come around
Why don’t you just go home?
‘Cuz you’re drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
I left my heart open
But you didn’t understand
But you didn’t understand
Go fix yourself

I can’t help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I’m sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can’t help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I’m sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
And my weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel

Escape

Drew — Mon, 29 Nov 2004 07:11:09 +0000

Escape – Enrique Iglesias
(You can run, you can hide
But you canï¿½t escape my love)

Hereï¿½s how it goes, you and me, up and down at this time
Weï¿½ll get right, where to fight
Cause love is something you canï¿½t shake
When it breaks
All it takes is some trying

If you feel like leaving
Iï¿½m not gonna make you stay
Soon youï¿½ll be finding
You can run, you can hide
But you canï¿½t escape my love
You can run, you can hide
But you canï¿½t escape my love

So if you go
You should know
Itï¿½s hard to just forget the past so fast
It was good, it was bad but it was real
And thatï¿½s all you get in the end of the matter

Hereï¿½s how it goes
All it takes is some trying
You can run, you can hide
But you canï¿½t escape my love

The End

August 16, 2002 – October 26, 2004

You and I Both – Jason Mraz
Was it you who spoke the words
That things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice and I’m looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing

Oh but at often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright light turns to night
Oh until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

‘Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others only read of
Others only dream of the love
Oh the love that I love
la la la la

See I’m all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words
More words than I had ever heard
And I feel so alive

Oh then you and I you and I
Not so little you and I any more
Oh, and with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving
Is the glory of a boy

‘Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well then i’m almost finally out of
I’m finally out of
Finally de de de de de de de,
Well i’m almost finally, finally,
Well I am free, free, free

And it’s ok
If you had to go away
Oh just remember the telephones
Well they’re working it both ways
But if I never, ever hear it ring
If nothing else I’ll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else
And that’s ok
‘Cause I’ll remember everything you sang

‘Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well then im almost finally out of
I’m finally out of, finally de de de de de de de de,
Well i’m almost finally finally,
Out of words.
