LYRICS:

Ikaw ang tahanan ng aking puso
Ang puno't dulo ng buhay ko
Mangangarap hanggang makakayanan
Mananaginip hanggang kamatayan

Hanggat maari iiwas sa dahas
Ngunit kung kailangan
Buhay ko ma'y kabayaran

Para makita kang malaya
At umibig ng payapa
Mabuhay sa mundong itong
Ligtas sa takot at gulo
Ang makita kang malaya
Ang nag iisang panata
Yayakapin, mamahalin kita
Hanggang wala nang bukas

Magtagumpay man o ikamatay
Hahagkan ang gabing walang katiyakan
Ito ang pinili kong buhay
Ibigin kang buo at tunay

Repeat prechorus and chorus

Hanggang sa huli
Ako'y nasa iyong tabi
Hanggang sa huli
Pangalan mo pa rin sa aking mga labi

"Hanggang Wala Nang Bukas" - Ebe Dancel (Theme Song from the film HENERAL LUNA)

Tamang panahon

Iyong dinggin, himig ng puso kong sayo lamang
Aking mundo, umiikot at hihinto para sayo
At kahit hanggang sa panaginip,sa isip ko ay nakaukit
Mga ngiting sinasabing ako’y kailangan din

Chorus:
Sa tamang panahon, ika’y makakasama
Ako’y maghihintay sayo sinta
Sa tamang panahon, Kahit ilan pang bukas
Hindi na bibitaw (handa akong maghintay) Sa tamang panahon

Nangangako,hindi ka na muling luluha’t magiisa
At kahit pa hindi umayon sa atin ang pagkakataon ako’y aasa
Kahit na wala kang tinig,sa puso ko ay nakaukit 
Mga matang sinasambit na ako’y mahal mo rin

Bridge
Hawakan ang pangakong sayo lamang iaalay ang puso ko
Kahit  ilang hadlang pa ang dumating sa ating pagibig ay nangangako

Ang puso mo at puso ko ay sabay pipintig
Sasayaw at hihimig sa isang awit,sa tamang panahon


Tamang panahon

Eternal Now - Quantum Physics

Feat. Hitomi Hosokawa on Vibes and Noriko Terada on percussion. This track was recorded on 1/9/2017 at the Orange Room in Tokyo, Japan. It was my very first time playing in Tokyo and I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to play with. The crowd was very warm and welcoming and it really made this evening of music memorable.

Roger Alcantara - Bass Player

Bands: Ebe Dancel, Mindscapes, Wickermoss, Eternal Now, Barbie Almalbis (sessions)

Gear: Elegee Mister Nobody Signature 5, Elegee Mister Nobody Signature Fretless 5, Ibanez Soundgear Fretless 4, MONO

Roger Alcantara took up Communication Arts (specializing in photography) at the De La Salle University. This is where he met Pepe Manikan and together with Chad Robles and Loubert Vidal eventually formed the progressive metal band Eternal Now.

Roger (known for wearing masks in gigs as a gimmick, thus the Mister Nobody alyas) started playing bass during his 2nd year in high school. His mentor was Berklee College of Music Scholar and Standard Pleasure Model bassist Louis Andre Ochoa. Since then he has played with Lemon Tears and the Sourgrapes (fronted by Moonstar 88’s May Chelle Baay), Wickermoss, and of course Eternal Now. In 2006 Roger became the first Filipino endorser of Aria bass guitars. He has conducted bass clinics to promote the brand and to propagate awareness and interest about the bass and to inform the masses about its limitless potential. He currently endorses Elegee Custom Basses.

Early 2010, Roger also became a session bassist for Barbie Almalbis (alternating with Karel Honasan).

June of 2011, Roger recorded bass tracks for Ebe Dancel’s debut solo album "Dalawang Mukha Ng Pag-Ibig" (under Warner Music Philippines). He is now the touring bassist of Ebe.

He is also 1/2 of Mindscapes --- the acoustic new age duo he formed with Rigil Borromeo.

Besides being the bassist of Ebe Dancel, Mindscapes, Eternal Now, Wickermoss, & Barbie Almalbis, he is also a session musician who has played with Rico Blanco, Noel Cabangon, Johnoy Danao, Bullet Dumas and has recorded for Nicole Asensio, Sarah Caballero, and others.
