This Boy V.2

A reaction to Pinoy Rock according to Wikipedia

Kwikipedia -- Bazuka Joes

Before The Sunrise EP is a searing and thought-provoking journey through the dark complexities of modern-day society. With seven tracks that tackle issues like fake news, disinformation, corruption, a warped sense of morality, and the ongoing struggle for justice in the West Philippine Sea, this EP serves as both a personal reflection and a rallying cry for those who refuse to be silenced.

The opening track, Disinformation This Information, introduces the EP’s central theme of media manipulation, while Raise Your Flag encourages resistance and solidarity in the face of oppression. Oras Na, a heartfelt cover of Coritha’s iconic song, pays tribute to the fight for justice, resonating with the spirit of Filipino resilience. Shadows of Deception digs deep into the murky waters of political intrigue, challenging listeners to question everything they’ve been told.

Tracks like In Limbo and Walking Contradiction reflect on the internal conflicts we all face when confronted with moral ambiguity, exploring the emotional toll of navigating a world that seems increasingly divided. The EP closes with a powerful reimagining of the opening track, Disinformation This Information V.2, reasserting the need for truth and transparency in a time where misinformation reigns.

Blending raw energy, sharp social commentary, and a fusion of traditional and modern sounds, Before The Sunrise is a call to action—an invitation to rise above the shadows of deception and reclaim a sense of truth before the world awakens to the light.

Pansinin
Live recording at Tower of Doom

I. 
Di ko alam ang nararamdaman
sa tuwing ika'y pinagmamasdan
Alam mo bang nung ikaw ay makita
hindi na kita malimot pa

Hanggang kailan ako mangangarap
sana manlang ako ang hinahanap
Kahit parang walang inaasahan
maghihintat kahit hanggang kailan

Chorus:
Pansinin mo lamang ang puso ko
Magbabagong ikot ng mundo
Isang tingin ako'y sayo
(Pansinin mo lang ako)

II. 
Bakit kapag kausap ang iba
hindi kayang magisip ng tama
O ganyan ba kapag umiibig
sayo ako'y laging nananabik

Habang ika'y aking minamasdan
isip ko ay ika'y aking hagkan
Kahit parang walang inaasahan
maghihintay kahit hanggang kailan

Chorus

ADLIB

Chorus 2x

Your Typical Breakup Song (Demo)

Orchestral arrangement: Joseph B. Reburiano

Sharing with you my own scoring of "Himno A Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia" of Fr. Maximo Juguera [1924].
In this arrangement I chose to replace the more familiar intro as I wanted to "paint", through my music, the scene of the approaching pagoda with all the colorful canoes, packed with strong men in colored teams, as they altogether pull the shrine barge during the fluvial procession, and how it feels to behold that scene.
The few measures of the introductory part mimic the heartbeat, excitement, awe, chaos, and prayers of the jubilant crowd - all converging into the main part where everyone begins singing.
The tempo of my arrangement is attributed to the rhythm of paddling the boats.  If you're keen enough listening you'll also hear the birds converse in their own excitement. 
Listen (best) with earphones.
Viva La Virgen!
