Calming Nature Music - "September Skies"

Note: 
I do not own this music. I uploaded this sound for non-commercial purposes only. I may have violated laws and rules on uploading original content. However, I could not resist the excitement and pride I felt after hearing this rendition, thus... Tada! I hope you will share this brilliant rendition to our “Kababayans”.

Info:
This is an excerpt from Joey Ayala’s talk in a TEDxDiliman forum last October 13, 2013. Ayala, a veteran Filipino singer-songwriter, observed that there are mispronunciations in the Philippine National Anthem, the “Lupang Hinirang”.

In this version, Ayala altered the tempo and transposed it, into what he described, as a “swaying” kind of melody. Such was derived from the usual feel of Filipino Folk love songs or the “Kundiman”. The adjusted tempo likewise made the lyrics clear and easy to pronounce. He expressed that the “swaying” feel would further reflect the "non-confrontational and soft" trait of the Filipino People.

He noted that the phrase "ang magmahal nang dahil sa'yo" (to love for the country) would serve as a better ending for the anthem rather than “ang mamatay ng dahil sayo” (to die for the country), which he thinks, delivers a  grave and dark feel to the song. 

I hope I will not go to jail for this hahaha. 

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

The video’s caption states;

“How Lupang Hinirang Ought to Be Sung: Joey Ayala at TEDxDiliman”

You'll never want to sing the National Anthem any other way after you hear this inspired and inspiring talk/performance from singer Joey Ayala.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Lupang Hinirang (Joey Ayala Live at Ted x Diliman)

An old cover recording that came out of nowhere. It came to surface when I am on a process of browsing my old xp docs, before the migration to win7 lately. Sorry for the bad audio quality. Anyway, it’s a classic recording. :D

So That You Will Hear Me
by Pablo Neruda

So that you will hear me
my words
sometimes grow thin
as the tracks of the gulls on the beaches

Necklace, drunken bell
for your hands smooth as grapes

And I watch my words from a long way off.
They are more yours than mine.
They climb on my old suffering like ivy.

It climbs the same way on damp walls.
You are to blame for this cruel sport.
They are fleeing from my dark lair.
You fill everything, you fill everything.

Before you they peopled the solitude that you occupy,
and they are more used to my sadness than you are.

Now I want them to say what I want to say to you
to make you hear as i want you to hear me.

The wind of anguish still hauls on them as usual.
Sometimes hurricanes of dreams still knock them over.
You listen to other voices in my painful voice.

Lament of old mouths, blood of old supplications.
Love me, companion. Don't forsake me. Follow me.
Follow me, companion, on this wave of anguish.

But my words become stained with your love.
You occupy everything, you occupy everything.

I am making them into an endless necklace
for your white hands, smooth as grapes.

So That You Will Hear Me [Pablo Neruda]

Almost Out Of The Sky

Almost out of the sky, half of the moon
anchors between two mountains.
Turning, wandering night, the digger of eyes.
Let’s see how many stars are smashed in the pool.

It makes a cross of mourning between my eyes, and runs away.
Forge of blue metals, nights of still combats,
my heart revolves like a crazy wheel.
Girl who have come from so far, been brought from so far,
sometimes your glance flashes out under the sky.
Rumbling, storm, cyclone of fury,
you cross above my heart without stopping.
Wind from the tombs carries off, wrecks, scatters your sleepy root.

The big trees on the other side of her, unprooted.
But you, cloudless girl, question of smoke, corn tassel.
You were what the wind was making with illuminated leaves.
Behind the nocturnal mountains, white lily of conflagration,
ah, I can say nothing! You were made of everything.

Longing that sliced my breast into pieces,
it is time to take another road, on which she does not smile.

Storm that buries the bells, muddy swirl of torments,
why touch her now, why make her sad.

Oh to follow the road that leads away from everything,
without anguish, death, winter waiting along it
with their eyes open through the dew.

      - Pablo Neruda


Almost Out Of The Sky ~ Pablo Neruda

Ang pag-ibig natin ay walang hanggang paalam.
At habang magkalayo, papalapit pa rin ang puso.
Kahit na magkahiwalay, tayo's magkasama,
sa magkabilang dulo ng mundo.

Para Sa Iyo (L. Bautista cover)

Heartsong
by Mattie Stepanek

I have a song, deep in my heart,
and only I can hear it.
If I close my eyes and sit very still
it is so easy to listen to my song
When my eyes are open
and I am so busy and moving and busy,
if I take time and listen very hard,
I can still hear my heartsong.
It makes me feel happy.
Happier than ever.
Happier than everywhere,
and everything and everyone in the world.
Happy like thinking about
Going to Heaven when I die.
My heartsong goes like this-
I love you! I love you!
How happy can you be!
How happy can you make this whole world be!
And sometimes it's other
Tunes and words, too.
But it always sings the same special song.
But do you know what?
All people have a special song
Inside their hearts!
Everyone in the whole world has a special heartsong.
If you believe in magical, musical hearts.
And if you believe you can be happy
Then you, too, will hear your song.

-Mattie Stepanek
