I tried to do a Video Song post, but it sucked so we’ll forget that.
Moving on.

This song is from a Philippine TV show called “My Binondo Girl.”

There are only two reasons why my friend Jojo would call me early in the morning.
Either she will go vendetta on me because I made fun of Twilight,
or she wants me to check out a song and see if I can do it.
And yesterday was the latter.

She told me about this popular new TV show in the Philippines
which apparently, a lot of my friends are crazy about.
I really have no idea what the storyline is
because I do not have the Filipino Channel
and I am too cheap to subscribe.

Anyway.
Here’s a cover I did of this song
which was composed by one of the actors on the show.

I agreed to do it because I like the lyrics and the message it conveys.
It’s about this guy professing his love to this girl.

They said he wrote it because he was inspired
when he does his scenes with a pretty co star.
Or maybe he really does have feelings for her.

It takes a lot of guts to tell someone how you feel about them.
So, good luck to him. I hope he gets the girl.

I wouldn’t know, would I?
I don’t subscribe to TFC.

So here is,

Ako’y Sa’yo Lamang (I’m Only Yours)
Music by : Xian Lim
All instruments and voice by : Yours Truly

Lyrics begin here:

Sana’y ako ang pag bigyan ng puso
Pangako sayo ikaw ang iibigin
Araw gabi ikaw ang nasa isip
Unang tingin ako’y nabighani

Tunay ang nararamdaman
sayo magpa kailanman

Ako’y sayo lamang
Ibibigay higit sa kaya
Ako’y sayo lamang
Bigyan mo sana ng pag asa
Sayong sayo lamang
Tiwala mo ay iingatan
Ako’y sayo lamang
Iyong iyo lamang ako

Here’s a little thing I covered for the Holidays.
I chose this one and not other traditional songs
because this song gives a message to Believe.

Christmas and its spirit is fading.
Hope and Joy are hard to come by
in these trying times.

Here’s something that made me remember that
even at times of darkness and of grief,
there might still be hope yet.

We just have to believe.

Ghosts On Christmas Eve
Music by: Trans Siberian Orchestra
Voice and all instruments by: Ty Martell

Lyrics start here:

—
In this room where shadows live
And ghosts that failed learn time forgives
Welcome, friends, please stay awhile
Our story starts with one small child

Who spends this night in attics dark
Where dreams are stored like sleeping hearts
And so it’s here that they must wait
Till someone wishes them awake

For somewhere on this night of nights
She’s looking to believe
Here among the ghosts on Christmas Eve

And there near an old looking glass
There was a trunk from Christmas past
That she had somehow missed before
But now decides she will explore

‘Twas filled with toys and one old wreath
And several letters underneath
So as the evening hours leave
The child sat down and started to read

For somewhere on this night of nights
She’s looking to believe
Here among the ghosts on Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve
On Christmas Eve
