~This blog is dedicated to my musician friends. I know this is not enough, but I hope it's something. *hugs
Music is more than art. Music is a creative and tricky way of expressing oneself and what life is about. That's what musicians deliver, good musicians can let one see the world in minutes.
The conflict arises with hollow minded people now saying musicians especially those playing rock genres are all about noise, chaos, and 'improper' dressing. Reggae people on the other hand are labelled as 'potheads'. I'm not an expert or whatever but I would dare to take a stand on it. YOU PEOPLE ARE SHALLOW.
If musicians don't get paid for playing some tunes it's not a problem really on their side, for most musicians basically want to play for fun, and most importantly for the love of music. It's comparable to playing a sport to make it simple, you love to play so you play - you spend money for it even. When money comes in, it's a bonus.
Musicians I daresay are geniuses in hiding. To make a good song requires more than talent. You need to kill some braincells thinking about what to say, how to say it, and how to blend it with the perfect tune. As I observed my friends do, they brainstorm and let their spirits out making the lyrics of a song, checking every word and rhyme. The syncing of rhythm that comes next, requires an extensive amount of effort and thinking. A 3-5 minute song is not an out-of-luck project, it is well thought (except if it's a Willie Revillame song, like duh?). I could say more, but I'm sleepy so I'll stop up to this point. Hee-hee :P
I'm inspired with this song by The Chonkeys:

Lyrics of Tignan Mo – Chongkeys
Bakit ang mga madre, sister ang tawag.
Bakit ang mga pari, father ang tawag.
Bakit yung ibang mga teacher, maam/sir ang tawag.
Bakit tawag sa banda ay kakaiba… hindi maganda…
Kami raw ay mga…
Adik, manyak, gago, siraulo
Mga adik, mga manyak, mga gago, siraulo.
Magulo, maingay, walang asenso, walang kita.
Magulo, maingay, walang asenso, walang kita.
Baduy!
Bakit yung ibang mga pulis, buhaya ang tawag.
Bakit ang mga artista, plastikan ng plastikan
sa amigo at amiga…
E bakit yung ating gobyerno, kurakot ng kurakot
sa pera ng bayan…
Bakit tawag sa banda ay kakaiba… hindi maganda…
Kami raw ay mga…
Adik, manyak, gago, siraulo
Mga adik, mga manyak, mga gago, siraulo.
Magulo, maingay, walang asenso, walang kita.
Magulo, maingay, walang asenso, walang kita.
Baduy!
Bakit ikaw, kayo..(kayo!)
Tingnan nyo muna sarili nyo.
Bakit ikaw, sila..(sila!)
Tingnan na muna sarili nila.
Anong nakikita mo? anong nakikita nyo?
Totoo ka ba? totoo ka ba?
Ang Chongkeys may sasabihin…
Wag nyong husgahan, wag pintasan, sarili mo’y tingnan
Maging totoo sa sarili, sa sinasabi
Hindi lang labas ang totoong kaanyohan
Respeto bigay ko, respeto bigay nyo…
Tingnan mo! Pakinggan nyo! Nasa puso ko, nasa isip ko!
Tingnan mo! Pakinggan nyo! Nasa puso ko, nasa isip ko!
Pakinggan mo…
