My Grown Up Christmas List

My Grown-Up Christmas List
Metafour

image of Santa Claus

Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies

Well, I’m all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I’m not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here’s my lifelong wish
My grown up christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
and wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree

Well heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
(there’d be)

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown up christmas list

This is my grown up christmas list.

Apo Hiking Society




photo source.

From wikipedia

The APO HIKING SOCIETY first gained recognition in 1973 when they gave a farewell concert at the plush Meralco Auditorium in Metro Manila. Just out of college, the group was the talk of the Ateneo University and adjoining campuses for their music and humor.

It was only when two of its four members were about to retire from the field of amateur music, however, that the APO, then known as the Apolinario Mabini Hiking Society, finally had a city-wide audience. One of them was scheduled to leave for Turkey as an exchange student. The other had a position waiting for him in his father's advertising firm.

Why a talented young man of 21 would want to go to Turkey, every young man in the early seventies would probably understand. But what the APO could not understand was their fourth member's decision to leave the irresponsibility of being unemployed to join the ranks of the corporate world.

The trip to Turkey did not materialize and the APO, now a tentative trio, pushed on steadily towards fame and fortune.

Looking back, the APO members Danny Javier, Boboy Garrovillo, and Jim Paredes do not regret never having been regular wage earners. Their farewell concert, which had SRO audiences for two stormy nights, not unexpectedly became a hit record the following year.

List of Songs:

1. Nakapagtataka
2. When I met you

3. Saan Napunta ang Panahon

4. Batang-Bata

5. Ewan Lyrics

6. Awit ng Barkada

7. Pumapatak na naman ang Ulan

8. Di na Natuto

OPM - Basil Valdez- LET THE PAIN REMAIN





LET THE PAIN REMAIN

Basil Valdez
(W. Cruz)

uploaded by cathcath.com



Love comes, love goes,

But a sudden feeling never lets me be
Somehow I know
Quite a part of me isn't changed
Since you've been gone Like a sturdy tree
That's seen a thousand seasons,

I've to shed my leaves in winter
To grow them back in spring
To welcome life again
To welcome you

So goes my life;

Still believe in dreams of having you around

Too bad mem'ries
Feed the mind and not the heart
Where I want you to be
So I ask myself what you have left behind for me
To go on each day to live
As if I have you once again
What else is there that's real

But all the pain that I feel
Chorus:
So let the pain remain forever in my heart

For ev'ry throb it brings
Is one more moment spent with you
I let the pain
Bring on the rain
If that's the only way
If there's no other way
To be with you again
Too bad mem'ries
Feed the mind and not the heart
Where I want you to be
So I ask myself what you have left behind for me

To go on each day to live
As if I have you once again

What else is there that's real

But all the pain that I feel
Chorus:

So let the pain remain forever in my heart

For ev'ry throb it brings
Is one more moment spent with you

I let the pain Bring on the rain
If that's the only way

If there's no other way

To be with you again

So let the pain remain forever in my heart

For ev'ry throb it brings

Is one more moment spent with you
I let the pain
Bring on the rain

If that's the only way
(If that's the only way)
If there's no other way
To be with you again
So let the pain remain forever in my heart

For ev'ry throb it brings
Is one more moment spent with you
I let the pain
Bring on the rain
If that's the only way
(If that's the only way)
If there's no other way
To be with you again.

Lead me Lord
Lead me by the hand and make me face the rising sun
Comfort me through all the pain that life may bring
There's no other hope that I can lean upon
Lead me Lord
Lead me all my life

Walk by me
Walk by me across the lonely road of everyday
Take my arms and let your hand show me the way
Show the way to live inside your love
Lead me Lord
All my life

CHORUS:
You are my life
You're the lamb upon my feet
All the time, my Lord, I need you there
You are my life
I cannot live alone
Let me stay by your guiding love
All through my life
Lead me Lord

Lead me Lord
Even though at times I'd rather go along my way
Help me take the right direction
Take your road
Lead me Lord and never leave my side
All my days, all my life

CHORUS:
You are my life
You're the lamb upon my feet
All the time, my Lord, I need you there
You are my life
I cannot live alone
Let me stay by your guiding love
All through my life...

You are my life
You're the lamb upon my feet
All the time, my Lord, I need you there
You are my life
I cannot live alone
Let me stay by your guiding love
All through my life
All through my days
Lead me, oh Lord
All my life.

She first appeared on Philippine pop charts in 1978 as a 12 year old, singing the tune "Mr. D.J."

RICO J. PUNO



uploaded by cathcath.com

Rico J was discovered by Vicor executives when he was 22 years old. His
first hit was "Love Won't Let Me Wait" released through the Sunshine Label,where he introduced a novelty he became famous for -- substituting Tagalog lyrics in singing foreign hits. He was named Most Promising Entertainer of the Year in the Aliw Awards after one year in the musi industry. He was chosen Entertainer of the Year by the same award-giving body in 1977.
His top three selling albums are "The Way We Were," "Rico J. Puno," and "Spirit of Christmas." Rico’s first solo performance at the CCP entitled "Rico in Concert" with the Manila Symphony Orchestra made him the leading pop singer in the Philippines; while his concerts in Araneta Coliseum and his American tour in 1978 broke records in audience attendance. At one point, he was even the highest paid performer in the Philippines. His trademark voice and new approach in the Pinoy pop sound was compared to such American classic stars as Elvis Presley and Sammy Davis yet it was uniquely his own. Puno is known as "The Total Performer" who appeals to all kinds of audiences.

From Wikipedia:

Eraserheads was one of the most popular Pop/Rock bands in the Philippines, formed in the late 1980s and disbanded in 2002. Many music journalists and music enthusiasts regard the band as The Beatles of the Philippines because of their creative songwriting, catchy lyrics, and willingness to experiment with various styles of music. The Eraserheads was also regarded as the band that opened the commercial doors for other aspiring Filipino Rock bands. The band's debut album, Ultraelectromagneticpop, released in 1993 by BMG Records, was a commercial success, leading the way to the eventual breakthrough of many fellow artists like Parokya ni Edgar, Rivermaya, and Yano. It also brought band-based music into mass awareness.
Many of their fans fondly call them E-heads.
