Yeah, OPM!

I thought my love for OPM ended some time during my college years. As I've been far away from home, and from the day-to-day exposure to Pinoy music for a long time, I never imagined I would have this yearning back. I miss the Pinoy rock bands, listening to their music while slumping on the couch during siesta or a rainy afternoon.... There have been strong influences and inspiration around me, and I thank them for reintroducing me to it somehow.

Here's to my memory bank. Just thought this was worth posting. Words and music by APO, revived by Kitchie Nadal.

Pag-Ibig

No'ng tangan ng nanay ang munting mga kamay
Ika'y tuwang-tuwa, panatag ang loob
Sa damdaming ika'y mahal

No'ng nakilala mo ang una mong sinta
Umapaw ang saya at siya'y ibang-iba
Sinasamsam ang bawat gunita

Hindi mo malimutan kung kailan nagsimulang
Matuto kung papa'no magmahal
At 'di mo malimutan kung kailan mo natikman
Ang una mong halik, yakap na napakahigpit
Pag-ibig na tunay hanggang langit

No'ng tayo'y nagkakilala nang hindi sinasadya
Ikaw lang ang napansin, nahuli sa isang tingin
At sa pagbati mong napakalambing

Hindi ko malimutan kung kailan nagsimulang
Matutong ikaw lang ang mahalin
At 'di ko malimutan kung kailan ko natikman
Ang tamis ng 'yong halik, yakap na napakahigpit
Pag-ibig mong tunay hanggang langit
