How about some Music...?

Philippines
April 28, 2007 8:39pm CST
Now that I have reached my 500's. I wanted to start a different discussion. From cooking recipes, health tips, friendship, and Love, now, how about some Music? I wanted to share one of my favorite song. I must admit I had teary eyes the first time I heard it. This song is performed by a well known local singer here in the Philippines. "She was born on November 1, 1980, in Pasay City, Marifil Niña Girado a.k.a "Nina-the soul siren" and she was raised in Quezon City with three other siblings. Before casting glorious light on the bleak music scene, Nina, found satisfaction soothing tired souls at the local clubs". "Songs of love and loss, songs of firsts and lasts all delivered with intense passion and fiery emotion. Whatever the message, the effect is lasting, overwhelming. She can wail with the power of a crashing tidal wave or whine with the softness of a trickling rainfall, describing her vocal range can only mean one thing—when she sings, expect to be moved in ways you never imagined". Her song "Someday" is so moving and so many people can relate to it. Feel the sorrow, the intense pain, but yet the healing hope of a brighter future yet to come. I love this song. So please check this link and tell me if I was right. http://www.tristancafe.com/music/flash/someday_nina.html Powered by Tristan cafe, one of my favorite too, a cool website, that featured all Filipino songs and artist. And it provides lyrics as well. If you have trouble with the link check my profile. I have added it to my playlist. "Someday" by Nina. "'....Cause someday, someone's gonna love me The way I wanted you to need me Someday, someone's gonna take your place One day, I'll forget about you You'll see, I won't even miss you Someday, someday..." Did the song touched a string of your heart? Did you feel the sorrow yet the soothing balm of hope? It may be too cheesy for some, but I love it. Enjoy! (^^,)

Hi there Aphroditei, what a beautiful song, I don't normally respond with a counter paste but this song, speaks to my heart, and to tell you the truth, I listened to it only once, and that was the day my daughter sent it to me, I wept for days, now I kind of refrain myself, because I will look like a swollen bull frog, every time, of all the tears:) Hope you enjoy this: Celine Dion Goodbye's (The Saddest Word) Mamma You gave life to me Turned a baby into a lady And mamma All you had to offer Was the promise of a lifetime of love Now I know There is no other Love like a mother's love for her child And I know A love so complete Someday must leave Must say goodbye Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near Someday you'll say that word and I will cry It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye Mamma You gave love to me Turned a young one into a woman And mamma All I ever needed Was a guarantee of you loving me 'Cause I know There is no other Love like a mother's love for her child And it hurts so That something so strong Someday will be gone, must say goodbye Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near Someday you'll say that word and I will cry It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye But the love you give will always live You'll always be there every time I fall You offered me the greatest love of all You take my weakness and you make me strong And I will always love you 'till forever comes And when you need me I'll be there for you always I'll be there your whole life through I'll be there this I promise you, mamma I'll be your beacon through the darkest nights I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight I'll be your shelter through the raging storm And I will love you 'till forever comes Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near Someday you'll say that word and I will cry It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye 'Till we meet again... Until then... Goodbye

Annie, thank you for the song. The music is missing, but I can feel why it made you cry. Songs really, plays a great part in our lives. And I can't live without music really. Even if as you know, I more of the mumbling, humming type..(^^,Lol) But I love music. I'll search for its melody and prepare my hanky too. I want to hear it. By the way, the clock is now working. I fixed it a while ago, when I was adding my playlist. I choose the world map instead so I can know the hour in other countries too. Thank you very much Annie. You are such a dear friend. Have a great day! (^^,)

I heard the songs on your profile page.They are lovely and perhaps gift a heart even to a rock.Nina beat me by a week in getting to this planet;She actually cheated me but I forgive her after listening to her song :-P If love could do that to a soul,then even a broken heart is a blessing!Yes, it did harp a tune on the strings of my heart and no it's not cheesy for me.Thankyou for the song (^^,)

Thank you so much for sharing this song. It is beautiful and I am not going to rest until I get it. She has such a pure voice, none of this fake sexy growl that todays artists seem to use to cover their lack of skill. There was a song that really touched me recently in the same way, "Adieu" by Yoko Kanno. It really resonates with me. I don't have a link to it but it is featured in the Cowboy Bebop anime series.

I'm glad you love it! I wanted to share this song for a long time. But I waited 'till I can copy and paste so I can add more information about the artist. And build a good introduction for her song. And you are right, she has a pure voice. Even when she sings live or in acoustic, her voice is still the same. And she was given the "title" of the "Soul Siren" of Philippine music. If you want to hear one of her other famous song, I have added it to my playlist on my profile. I think it's a revival, but she sings it to beautifully. The title is "love moves in mysterious ways" Enjoy! Thank you for your response too! Have a great day Alieloopy! (^^,)

Nina is doubtlessly, an excellent singer and she has touched many of us. There are others still who have touching songs. Another one which holds so much meaning for me is 'Luha' which i believe is a song which was rendered by 'Asin'. Whenever I hear this song, I concentrate so much more on the lyrics.

Well, Aphroditei_5279, this is a very good and soothing song, for the broken-hearted females and males, out there; and it gives a whole lot of great hopes and push for moving on. We, Filipinos, adore sentimental songs like this, as it appeals to our heart and soul, both tune and lyrics. Can't help listening to the song for a good while, because the accompaniment is done by a piano and I love to hear pieces played by this musical instrument. I have copied and pasted this song to my collection, although am not sure, if I have this particular one already, since Simon (my youngest son) has saved one whole album of Nina, in our music files, here. Can I please ask if you have lost this sort of intense love, Nina is singing about?:D Thank you for introducing the song to me!

Hi Janeff! Welcome to Mylot! I'm glad you like the song as well. You are asking me if I have lost this sort of intense love? Unfortunately yes, my husband and I separated for almost 4 years now. I must admit I was not that cheery before. But when I heard this song of Nina. I said to myself, "Someday" someone worthy of my love and care will come to me. I'm a very loving person and I shouldn't dwell into the past. And let him, once again ruined my life, especially that he is not here. And even if it hurts that my son is not with me, I still have my daughter to attend to. And "Someday" with God's will everything will be okay. And if by His Grace too, if it's meant to be, Love will find its way back to me. (^^,) Have a great day! And thank you for your response! Happy Posting! (^^,)

It's very encouraging reading you having high hopes after your lost of a true love. The most difficult part is always that segment when you have to move on and pace the time, without this very dear person with you. Your being a single mom gives you the much-needed strength and right focus, to carry through you through. I have been one and very proud to say I made it with all five children successfully. All have families now and if there is one value that I taught my children to imbibe well, it is the love for the mother of their children, that they must always take care to keep and nurture, at all cost.

I am also a Filipino, currently working here in the US. Before I went here (in September, 2006), I would always sing the Nina's tunes of "Loves Moves in Mysterious Ways". I love both the lyrics and the melody. And yes, Nina has a soothing voice. I will go to the link so that I could hear her new single, "Someday". The words are indeed touching and I'm very curious how the song was rendered. I shall be home in June, so I will get her CD. Thanks so much for this! Happy myLotting!

Hi Ag! I'm glad you like it. And by the way, I have added "pag-ibig na kaya" of Rachelle Ann and Cristian Bautista to my playlist at my profile. They used the song for the "Princess hours" Koreanovela. I like the song. Maybe you want to listen to it too. It's a korean song originally, but they sang it so well. You'll just love it. Have a safe trip coming home "kabayan"! (^^,)

I certainly does touch a chord in me and not to mention that I love Nina. I love lots of songs and I am actually a hopeless romantic at heart. Songs tells in words and melody how I feel inside that I could not really articulate.

hello Aphroditei_5279. I find Nina's voice very attractive and beautiful, soulful. "Someday" is a sad song and yes there's an element of hope mixed with the sadness that Nina's voice conveys. You know listening to the song made me want to hold on to my loved one tightly and not let go. I don't want to be singing "Someday" in my heart. :) Thank you and have a nice day!
