I’m back! After a week-long of being absent from the blogosphere I return with one of the first updates to The Four-eyed Journal. Here below is the video and the lyrics of one my most favorite songs of this year; ‘Magbalik’ by Callalily. Every single day, whenever I travel to and from school, Callaliy’s songs play continuously in my mp3 player. Talk about a major case of LSS right?

‘Magbalik’ is one great song. Powerful lyrics, great guitar works and riveting drum-line to match, then top if off with Kean’s cool vocals, this song is for everyone who believes in love, be it broken, kept alive, hopeful and any other shade of it. I’ve been waiting for its music video to come out and now that it does, it justifies to keep an eye on it on MTV, MYX, on YouTube, Multiply and Friendster accounts of other Callalistas out there.

To be honest though, I expected a lot more about the video being something mushy and a bit serious to match the emotional charge of the song, but this one is well, kinda waters down that potential. Still, this video does the song some justice. Again we thank Rouge Carey for making this video available on the www via YouTube.

Enjoy!

Magbalik
by Callalily

Wala na ang dating pagtingin
Sawa na ba saking lambing
Wala ka namang dahilan
Ngunit bakit biglang nangiwan

Hindi na alam ang gagawin
Upang ika’y magbalik sakin
Ginawa ang lahat ngunit bakit
Ika’y biglang naghanap

Hindi magbabago
Pagmamahal sa iyo
Sana’y pakinggan mo
Ang awit ng pusong ito

Tulad ng mundong hindi
Tumitigil sa pag-ikot
Pag ibig di mapapagod

Tulad ng ilog na hindi
Tumitigil sa pag agos
Pag ibig di matatapos

Alaala’y bumabalik
Mga panahong nasasabik
Sukdulang mukha ay
Laging nasa panaginip

Bakit biglang pinagpalit
Pagsasamaha’y tila nawaglit
Ang dating walang hanggan
Nagkaroon ng katapusan

UPDATE:

Now learn how to play Magbalik on your very own guitar:

Another case of last song syndrome. This time again from another rising Pinoy band Callalily and their hit single ‘Stars’. When I first saw the video on Myx’s daily Top Ten I was hooked. Ade may hate for this but the song resurrected the emo boy inside me.

I love the looks, visuals and texture of the video. Music-wise, I think the drums on this track really rocks and is a good compliment to the soft yet angsty guitars. Music buffs may disagree but that’s what my ears heard. hehehe

Though the lyrics tend to be repetitive and the song has not much depth meaning-wise, unlike Kamikazee’s Narda, the song is still a great track for it hits you right where it hurts and it’s quite hard to resist being nostalgic about past relationships both good and not so good. Well enough of my blurbs, I share with you music video I picked up in YouTube and below are the lyrics from Pinoy Lyrics.

Update: I found this video footage of Callalily performing Stars live at the Mugen Bar way back in July 2006. This video captures the talents and potentials of this amazing Pinoy rock band. Their drummer, is a damn good one.

Stars by Callalily
[Verse]
A picture of you reminds me
how the years have gone
by so lonely
but why do you have to leave me

[Pre-chorus]

Iâ€™m saying I love you again
are you listening?
open your eyes once again
look at me crying

[Chorus]

If only you could hear me shout your name
if only you could fell my love again
the stars in the sky will never be the same
if only you were here

[Verse, Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus, Pre-Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus except last line]

If only I had wings so I can fly
i wanna be with you for all of time
my love for you will never die
if only you could here me
shout your name
if only feel my love again
the stars in the sky will never
be the same
If only were here

Rock on! Mabuhay ang Pinoy music! \m/
