There’s this Jazz bar back in the Philippines,
where me and my friends sometimes used to hang out at.
Okay that is not entirely true.
We pretty much grew up in this place. We were there a lot!
The place is called ESL (East St. Louis).
So, this music post is a tribute to the enjoyment
we have shared while we hung out at this bar.
(Or from whatever we remember,
with all the alcohol consumption that damaged our brain.)
I was just going to call this “The ESL,”
but I changed it to “ESL Posse.”
Since that was what we used to call ourselves,
and I seem to enjoy saying that word.
Posse.
This music is pretty similar to the songs they used to play
while we were in this bar.
A bit of a Jazzy, Bossanova-esque style.
The melody just kept churning in my head for weeks.
I must have heard it somewhere before.
Probably at the bar’s restroom while I was throwing up.
But that’s not important right now.
Not much Guitar effects on this one.
I tried to achieve a sound that is raw, clean and real.
Just like how real me and my friends were when we were together.
And when I say together, I mean we would all wake up in someone’s bedroom,
trying to figure out where in the hell we were.
Hung over, or hungry.
Fighting who gets to use the bathroom first.
You know. Together.
Posse!!!!!
Tol, I miss those days…
How I wish that we could do that again… There’s a new ESL bar located at the Fort in global city, Taguig. Have’nt been there yet…
I hope you could visit the Philippines, so we could go there and bring back the memories together with our families…
Excuse…naiiyak na ko!
