I was asleep on my deathbed
when this song started playing on my Mp3 player.

Whispering a Prayer
By Steve Vai

Now two things happened
as I realized how beautiful this song was.

First,
Since I have been sick for days, I had to check if I was dead.
The puddle of drool on my pillow confirmed that I wasn’t.

Second,
I have experienced another miracle.

I fell in love with this song.
It literally woke me and forced me to get up and pick up my guitar.

I always believed that falling in love with a song
the first time you hear it
is a miracle.

Now this is my rendition of the song,
how the music came out of me,
since it is impossible for me to play like Steve Vai.

I mean, come on.

He is a Guitar God who lives in an Ultra World,
And I am just a humble musician from Planet Bullshit.

So here’s

Whispering A Prayer

Guitars by Ty Martell

An old 80’s song by Vitamin Z.

Ever since I heard this song way back in the day,
I’ve always wanted to play it.
I think this is one of the coolest songs ever.

Except now that I have done it,
All the coolness effect went down the drain.

But then again,
Here I am forcing you to listen to my crap.
And the least you could do is pretend you took the time to hear it.

Have pity on me.
My throat hurts.
My fingers are sore.
And my heart is broken.

Burning Flame

Music by – Vitamin Z
Voice, all instruments and percussion arrangement – Ty Martell

**Man! I got to re-do this one.
The more I listen to it, the more I hate it.

I’m going to bed.

//UPDATE:
After 53 takes, this is the best one that came up. I gave up.

Here’s another original from the guys that did that song
I posted a couple of days ago.
That would be me, Raymund and Melvin.

“The Three Stooges,” as we are well known to our friends.
Or “The Three Spawns of Satan” according to our moms.

Anyways,
Here’s another one we did, just before Christmas of ‘92 or ’93.
I am not really sure.

But I vividly remember where we did this one.

This song is actually about this girl and one of us.
I won’t tell you who, to protect our identities,
and to prevent further beatings.

So this “couple” broke up, right before Christmas,
And this guy was hoping to win the girl’s heart again.
And well…
That’s pretty much how this song came about.

You know how devastating it is
if you are not with your true love come Christmas time.

I mean, who’s going to give you presents?
And, who’s going to stop you when you act like a drunken jerk
at the party where you weren’t really invited,
and ended up passed out on the dance floor covered in your own vomit?

I think I have said too much already.
I do not want to compromise the “Spawn of Satan’s Creed.”

I hope you like this one.
It’s the first time I did an all acoustic amplification,
without plugging anything in.
We’ll except for the Bass and the Microphone.

It’s also written in Tagalog,
so, I guess you have to find your friendly neighborhood Filipino,
so they can translate it.
Of course that’s if you are not from the Philippines.

If you are, then find your friend who doesn’t know Tagalog
and translate this for them.

“Ang gulo mo, Denden!”

Anyways,
this one is called,
Tanging Hiling
