Viktoria – Fpop Queen of the MTV Generation in the ’90s

Posted by jojo8 on August 26, 2008

I think I’m going to use Fpop term from now on, purely for convenience ’cause it’s easier to type. Hahaha!  Seriously, I haven’t heard people refer to Filipino pop as Fpop.

In the early ’90s, Viktoria is probably one of the few artists (in the Philippines) who has done many MVs.  Where is she now?  There hasn’t been any news on her for the last few years.  I wish and hope she comes back.  If she doesn’t want to perform anymore, maybe she can compose songs for the other artists.   I think she’s good ’cause she experiments and doesn’t stick to pop ballads only.  Gary V can compose for other artists, too.  His fast/dance songs are good, too.  I can’t recall any other composers/singers who are like them.  Maybe there are more but I don’t know anybody else.  Hmmm.  Oh well… I was just a kid back then.

So speaking of Viktoria, I did some researching and found her MVs.

Dahan-Dahan (1993)

Don’t Go

I Love You

Sana (1995)

Viktoria- Sasabihin Ko Na (1991) —- First Filipino MTV shown in MTV Asia

Tender Kisses (1994)

Pwede Ba (1999)  —>  This MV rocks considering it’s 1999!!

Most MVs are from username aragorn65.

Viktoria, please come back!!  Help OPM.  I’m tired of remakes!

Zelle – Sabihin Mv w/ lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on August 8, 2008

————-

Bakit wala ka pa? kasama ka’y parang nag-iisa
Pangakong magmamahal, aalis ka rin pala

Chorus:
Sabihin mo na kung babalik ka pa
Para di na maghintay
Sabihin mo na kung aayaw ka na
Para lang malaman ko
Hmmm…

Naririnig mo ba ako?
Sigaw ko ba’y walang tinig
Nakaya kong walang imik
Naririnig naman ako

Chorus:
Sabihin mo na kung babalik ka pa
Para di na maghintay
Sabihin mo na kung babalik ka pa
Para lang malaman ko
Hmmm…

Coda:
Iiyak na lang…
Iiyak na lang…
Hey yeah hey yeahhee…

Bakit wala ka pa?
Naririnig naman ako

Chorus:
Sabihin mo na kung babalik ka pa
Para di na maghintay
Sabihin mo na kung aalis ka na
Para lang malaman ko

Taken By Cars – Uh Oh MV w/ lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on August 6, 2008

————

Uh Oh

I feel the time has come to play
I see you look my way
My mind filled with cruel intentions
I’m wanting your affection

Cold heart
Cold, cold cold hands
I think I’m getting to understand
Automatic flash point I see you
Across the floor
Make all things new

Uh oh

This is where it ends
Past perfect future tense
An Altered state of mind
Your words no longer grind

Here I am in full battle gear
Here I am I’m wanting you
I’m wanting you near me

Uh oh

I miss my heartbeat for you
I want to live and love like I’m high above

I miss my heartbeat

Moonstar88 – Torete MV w/ lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on July 29, 2008

———————-

Sandali na lang
Maaari bang pagbigyan
Aalis na nga
Maaari bang hawakan ang
iyong mga kamay
Sana ay maabot ng langit
ang iyong mga ngiti
Sana ay masilip

REFRAIN:
‘Wag kang mag-alala
Di ko ipipilit sa’yo
Kahit na lilipad ang isip
ko’y torete sa’yo

Ilang gabi pa nga lang
Nang tayo’y pinagtagpo
Na parang may tumulak
nanlalamig nanginginig na ako

Akala ko nung una
May bukas ang ganito
Mabuti pang umiwas
Pero salamat na rin at nagtagpo

CHORUS:
Torete, torete, torete ako
Torete, torete, torete, sa iyo

(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus)

Hale – Shooting Star MV w/ lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on July 29, 2008

———————

So many times you’ve hurt me
So many times you’ve fooled me
But you’ll be doing it again

So many times we’ve spent in
Too many lives we’ve been in
But you’re doing it again

To me the nights have fallen
The lights are on and off again
Is there a chance that you won’t die
Won’t die, with me tonight?

Like a shooting star to where you are
Are we too late am I too soon?
You’ll make it through you’ve gone too far
Will you ever be my star?

I’m holding on to nothing
No reason worth for living
I’m calling out to you

If it’s the only way to keep you
Then I don’t want to break you
I’m losing grip again

With you the nights have fallen
The lights are on and off again
Is there a chance that you wont die
Won’t die, with me tonight?

Like a shooting star to where you are
Are we too late am I too soon
You’ll make it through you’ve gone too far
Will you ever be my star?

You’re a shooting star to where you are
Are we too late am I too soon
You’ll make it through you’ve gone too far
Will you ever be my star?
Will you ever be my star?

You’re walking away
I’ll be seeing you through a satellite

If you go
Then I’m walking away

Chicosci – Paris MV w/ lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on July 28, 2008

————

could I be so affected
will I stay on your mind
why am I so infected
the way that we shine

Chorus:
speak now or forever into pieces
I took you so fast
the way we are is just a movie sequence
I took you so

I can’t ever deny this
this gift you won’t hide
this scene that were in together
the story of our lives
broken, lover
tears flow, endless rivers
one love,one heart
still we won’t sever

Chorus

could I be so affected
will I stay on your mind
why am I so infected
the way that we shine
twisting,turning
as we move further
my own prayer
we will both emerge

Chorus

you and I step into the line
I’m so grace
that I have this.

Sandwich – Two Trick Pony MV w/ lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on July 28, 2008

———————–

I want to move on
Not realizing I w
as moving too slow

Tried to hang on
But there was nothing left for me to hold

It’s such a shame that you can’t be with me tonight
I’m spinnin’ ’round in cycles
Hope you change your mind
Before the show is over
I look around, it’s you I thought I’d find

Been on standby
Not realizing I was waiting too long
Instant replay
But there was nothing I can do about it

Still in denial
I can’t believe that you can do this to me
No lights ahead
I’ve been looking forward but I could not see

I have been waiting for you all night
Under the glow of the satellite..

Rivermaya – You’ll Be Safe Here MV w/ lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on July 28, 2008

—————

Nobody knows
Just why we’re here
Could it be fate
Or random circumstance
At the right place
At the right time
Two roads intertwine

And if the universe conspired
To meld our lives
To make us
Fuel and fire
Then know
Where ever you will be
So too shall I be

Chorus:

Close your eyes
Dry your tears
‘Coz when nothing seems clear
You’ll be safe here

From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Weary heart
You’ll be safe here

Remember how we laughed
Until we cried
At the most stupid things
Like we were so high
But love was all that we were on
We belong

And though the world would
Never understand
This unlikely union
And why it still stands
Someday we will be set free.
Pray and believe

Chorus:

When the light disappears
And when this world’s insincere
You’ll be safe here
When nobody hears you scream
I’ll scream with you
You’ll be safe here

Save your eyes
From your tears
When everything’s unclear
You’ll be safe here

From the sheer weight
Of your doubts and fears
Wounded heart

When the light disappears
And when this world’s insincere
You’ll be safe here

When nobody hears you scream
I’ll scream with you
You’ll be safe here

In my arms
Through the long cold night
Sleep tight
You’ll be safe here

When no one understands
I’ll believe
You’ll be safe,
You’ll be safe
You’ll be safe here
Put your heart in my hands
You’ll be safe here

Filipino Bands

Posted by jojo8 on July 27, 2008

I really want to see r&b music to flourish in the Philippine music scene.  It does not mean that I do not like the Filipino bands that are making waves across the nation.  In fact, I love them.  Mainstream and Indies. I heard the Eraserheads are going to have a reunion but not sure what kind, whether they are going to do an album, song or concert, don’t know really.  Nevertheless, it will still be a treat for a lot of fans like me.  He he.  I rarely say or acknowledge that I am a fan of something but there you go… I also like Rivermaya–especially with the original members, Bamboo, Slapshock, Urbandub, and recently I discovered Taken By Cars, just to name a few. So.. I think I’m going to blog about them or post some vids and lyrics the next time.
