"Last year a big dream came true! When I was invited to play at Burning Man on the iconic Mayan Warrior Stage I couldn’t believe it. I was really nervous on the way to the playa but once I started playing and saw all these lovely people dancing and enjoying my music all the weight fell off. It was the most special and magical gig I ever played and I want to thank the whole community and everybody at the Mayan Warrior camp for making this happen. I hope you can all feel the energy we had during that sunset. Love Nicolas"

VERSE 1:
Mga tala’y nagliwanag 
sa ating pag-iisa
At ang ihip ng tadhana’y 
Pinagtagpo pa tayong dalawa

Ikaw ang ninanais 
Yakapin ang damdamin 
Kong aapaw na 

CHORUS:
Gising sinta 
Alon ng dagat ay hahampas na
Halik ng kahapon ay nagpaalam na			
At handa na akong sumabay sa pag-agos
Ng aking mundo
Pakinggan ang himig at bulong ng puso ko

VERSE 2:
Kung ang oras na lumilipas 
Ay may takdang hangganan
Susubukin na paikutin 
Pabalik ang kamay ng orasan

Sabihin ang sanhi
Kung bakit bumitiw
Mapipigil ba kung nais mong lumaya na?

CHORUS:
Gising sinta 
Alon ng dagat ay hahampas na
Halik ng kahapon ay nagpaalam na
At handa na akong sumabay sa pag-agos
Ng aking mundo
Pakinggan ang himig at bulong ng puso ko

Kung sakali na tayo’y magkatagpo
Pagkatapos maghilom ng ating puso
Pag-ibig ba’y isusugal mo?
Aaminin na di sinasadya
Patawarin kung pagmamahal ay naglaho na

ALON (original)  - ALY REMULLA

I wrote this song for a girl I like, who doesn't seem to need anyone to take care of her. She knows what she wants and works hard to get it. She's a determined girl who takes care of herself well. To sum it up, she's a strong, independent woman which is one of the reasons I adored every thing she does, every lyric she writes, every note she sings and every chord she plays. 

She inspires me to be better. She's my muse. She's out of my league and I know it, yet I still sang this song to her to confess how I feel. It's funny because the song became a self-fulfilling prophecy on how things turned out to be. (YES, I was FRIENDZONED)

This arrangement wasn't how I intended it to be in the first place. I used to play this song differently until I experimented with tunings. The standard tuning for regular ukulele is GCEA. While for this song, I played it in FCCA making the instrument sound more 'folky' which is why I decided to change the strumming pattern. I also incorporated a 2-part string arrangement, some bell sounds and a subtle ambient pads. I added a combination of bass and percussions to achieve a fun and upbeat vibe reminiscent of world music drumming.

Lyrics:

She needs nobody

Nobody
Nobody knows the way she feels
And she don't even know the thrills 
That she's caused me every time she strums her guitar

She's falling like a shooting star
So bright and captivating 
Is she from Venus or Mars?
She's otherworldly and heavenly

And oh she's all alone
But she doesn't even seem so lonely 
And oh she's on her own 
But she doesn't even need nobody
She needs nobody
Not even me
She needs nobody

Somebody
Somebody tell her that I'm dying
To be the one she sings and mumbles about
In her quiet whispery melody
I want to be her harmony

I'm speeding like a crazy car
Crashing to her sunset cliffs
She's a blue moon casting all the waves
In my ocean of debris
She's my tsunami
She's my tsunami

And oh she's all alone
But she doesn't even seem so lonely 
And oh she's on her own 
But she doesn't even need nobody
She needs nobody
Not even me
She needs nobody

My, my, tsunami-nami
My, my, tsunami-na
My, my, tsunami-nami
My, my, tsunami-na

She's my tsunami

My Tsunami

The world was devastated as we found out about Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington's death at the age of 41. I grew up listening to LP and Chester is one of my favorite singers. Their music has touched millions of struggling youth worldwide including me. I hope you like my take on the song.
