Limang taon na akong nagsusulat ng mga kanta... (Ang galing no? pero hindi pa rin lalagpas ng limang kanta ang nagagawa ko...) Gaano man kakaunti ang mga nasulat ko mula noon hanggang sa kasalukuyan, sigurado akong hindi ko man lamang maiisip mag-umpisang magsulat kung hindi sa dalawang tao... Si Jewel at si Barbie...
Dalawang babaeng hayop magsulat... sabi nga nila, hindi mo talaga malalaman ang tunay na mga mensahe ng mga manunulat ng kanta kung ang alam mo lamang na linya ay yung mga linya nung sikat nilang kanta... yung napadalas sa radyo... sa madaling salita, mas mabubuklat mo ang mga saloobin nila kung bubuklatin rin at pakikinggan ang mga kantang hindi popular, mga hindi narinig sa countdown, mga hindi ginawan ng mtv... yun na nga ang ginawa ko...
Kaya heto... mga linya sa mga kantang dinaanan lamang habang hinahanap ang Belinda Bye bye... Linaktawan lamang nung mahanap na ang Hands at Foolish games...
Mga linya ng buhay... by Barbie and Jewel...
"Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No Longer lend your strengths to that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery and you shall lead
A life uncommon."
"It's dark and I am Lonely
Only Coz I have time to be lonely
It's dark and I am lonely
Coz I've the money to be lonely."
"We are given to God to put our faith therein
But to be forgiven we must first believe in sin."
"Little boy blue, lost his shoe, one day paddling in the water...
He cried and he cried, he cried and he realized that it's more fun to run without shoes."
"We've made houses for hatred, it's time we made a place
Where people souls may be seen and made safe...
Be careful with each other, these fragile flames
For innocence can't be lost, it needs to be maintained."
"Why do we listen to a pretty paper doll,
we are missing our whole life...
Run to the mountain, and feel the ground on your feet
And you can say you are alive."
"When you find yourself falling down
Your hopes in the sky but your heart like grape gum on the ground
And you try to find yourself
In the abstractions of religion and the cruelty of everyone else
And you wake up to realize
Your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive"
"These aren't pains, the burdens I cradle
They have names, and now I am able...
To face them, change them, or bless them...
....
Healing's from the Inside...
When I look close enough I see...
Healing's from the inside...
Peace is in a place within me...."
"And when you're standing in deep water
And you're bailing yourself out with a straw
When you're drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well it's these little times that help to remind
It's nothing without love"
