otherwise

if you haven't noticed, i'm a huge fan of music. life is just way too complex for me, which is why i need something that i can understand, ie. music, to explain to me what's happening. hahaha! i find it easier to have fun, feel sad, feel angry if i have music as an accompaniment to my life.

parang isang scene lang sa isang pelikula noh? para lang isang cliche... which sounds like cueshe... that sounds like tae... hahaha!

last week i've been listening to a lot of snow patrol... lately it's been dishwalla... (thanks to two of my contacts...) both bands are foreign... hmm... bakit kaya ganun...

feeling ko kasi wala pakong nakikitang local bands na kajive ko ang feel ngayon. di na rin kasi ako masyadong nakikinig ng radyo. it's usually the voices of my professors that i hear... it's been a while since i last had a good jam. the last song i sang with a guitar accompaniment was "Otherwise" by imago. ang galing talaga! haha! di ko inexpect na alam niya yung song na yun. hehe... sabi ko yata sa sarili ko noon, kung makakita ako ng taong kayang tugtugin yun, pakakasalan ko. kaya lang hindi pwede si kuya... for some reason, i always get linked to younger guys --_--' bawal ata ako sa mas matanda sakin... hahaha!

otherwise
-imago-

We all have raised our voices
We all have done our crimes
We've been excused of every lie
There's no such thing as perfect
So we could make those plans
Would you have it otherwise

And on the fulcrum we stand on, we aim for better view
Then you trip over fault lines of which you never knew
Then you start to mail all of the blame
Find it back on your door next day

Like twists and turns in radio plays and movies
Mount the script in your autobiography
Take the hero's place and the hero's name
Manufacture spiels for a stranger's sake
Oh, you bitch for truth
And you damn well know you're fake

We all have minced our words
Even exchanged euphemisms
Then we say we must go for truth
We have an ear for envy
Never a tongue for praise
Can't we have it otherwise

......damn we'll know you're fake......
