Music Mode Part 3 (Imagine)

IMAGINE by John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Every time i feel bored and nothing i can do, i enjoy reading some facts and unusual things around us. and here it is... about the song i think a complicated one with to much pros and cons. all of their comments about this song has a powerful words which i can agree with. everyone of us have a right to speak so all of them teach me too much.  i dont know what the composer thinks when he do this song but i can say its a nice song. ehehe-svj

Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try, no hell below us, above us only sky.... Why would you want to imagine no heaven?...heaven is the only place where this utopia of John's exists. This is nothing more than an 'Imagine there's no God and we can all do what we like' - song. People are far too selfish to exist together in harmony without laws with sanctions. Let me quote a Keith Green song that tells it how it is. "..so many laughing at Jesus, while the 'funniest' thing that He's done, is love this poor stubborn, rebellious world, while their hate for Him just goes on...." God wants to SAVE you from your sins and take you to heaven, not join a religion. John was just imagining heaven. Ironic.

- Steven, Bundaberg, Australia

I don't see Imagine as John's attempt to push a communist regime or anything of the sort. When he says to imagine life without all the things that divide us...religion, wars, etc....he was hoping that the listener would instead start focusing on all the things we have in common with our fellow human beings who populate this planet with us. As long as we're focusing on the ways we are different and ignoring all the ways we are alike, we can never reach a true peace with each other. We continue to sort and section off various cultures for exclusion of some sort.

- ShePurrs, Charlotte , NC

Lennon was complex. IMAGINE's melody is soft but his words are heavy, POWERFUL. Lennon was a walking contradiction and he wanted it that way. His influence over the years with the Beatles illustrates this point: just when you think you've figured them (Beatles)out, they changed directions musically, philosophically, spiritually, politically. I don't agree with his politics (assuming I understand his politics) but he seems to be the only musician celebrity to transcend generations that I know. We can't figure him out but we love him. "Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try..." I can't imagine it and I get pissed when I hear him sing that, yet he seems so sincere that without heaven (and therefore, Hell) we'd be in a much better place. Love the tune, don't understand the message completely and don't be fooled by those who THINK they know. Impossible. Too complex for us.

lennon said that there r lots of things that can happen in our minds that cannot happen in reality...so "imagine"...
and he's giving us instances,like if there were no differences between religions...nothing to kill others for...if ppl gave up being selfish,and thought abt the present instead of the future...and wat happened in the past...
the borders of the countries r there in real life,..but in the dreams,they can be omitted..
nobody has any material possessions that they call "theirs"...everything belongs to everyone..no one is greedy or hungry for power,..and its like all earthlings r a family,brothers..
and its so pleasant to imagine that everyone is sharing the world,instead of fighting for the imaginary boundaries ..
and all these fantasies can never come true...so he's a dreamer,and he knows that there r many other ppl like him...who dream of peace,love and equality..
and he hopes that someday,everyone will hv the same dream,and so it wont be a dream anymore,it will become reality...
and then we wont be separated by our countries,or beliefs and we'll live togather as ONE

Lutong Pinoy p.2 (Kare Kare, Diningding at Pancit Bihon)

Di talaga matatawaran ang hilig ng Pinoy sa pagluluto.

Hilig nati sa pagkain ay dala dala natin kahit san man patungo.

Kaya ngayon hay… maraming pagkain ang nais na matikman.

Oh aking mga nais manamnam… kalian ka matitikman…

Music Mode part 2 (Swimming Beach)

Swimming Beach (Parokya ni Edgar)

 {dahil summer na. init kasi dito... mantakin mo 40-45degrees celcius. hay matinding parusa ito. matapos ang isang taon ng ligaya heto mararamdaman mo ngayon ang bagsik ng pagdurusa...hahaha... :(}

Kaysarap balik balikan kaysayang nagdaan

samahan maliligaya ng magkakaibigan

mula sa pagkakasama sama, hangang sa pagkakalayo

ala ala nito ay nananatili, di magbabago

kitang kita sa ngiti parang wala nang bukas pa

iyon pala ay sadya lamang na pansamantala

maski na ganuun man, ang buhay ganun talaga

magpasalamat na lamang, at nagkakila kilala.-svj

Music Mode Part 1 (Hanggang)

MABsvj


kapag sinukat mo kung gaano kalalim ang iyong pagmamahal
sasabihin mo sa sariling ito ay pangwalang hangganan
saksi ang langit na ikaw lamang ang sa buhay nag iisa
sa paglipas ng panahon ikaw lamang wala nang iba pa
malayo man sa piling ay di nawala ni saglit sa isip
ang ala ala ng iyong pagmamahal, yakap at ng halik
na sa tuwing nalulumbay siyang nagiging ating bigkis
ang kasiyahan sa tuwing, ang gabi ay ganun kadilim
-svj


Hanggang
-Wency Cornejo

Ilang ulit mo bang, itinatanong sakin
Kung hanggang saan,hanggang saan, hanggang kailan,
Hanggang kailan mag tatagal,
Ang aking pag mamahal,

Hanggang may himig pa akong naririnig,
Dito sa aking daig-dig
Hanggang may musika akong tinataglay,
Ika'y iniibig
Giliw wag mo sanang isiping
Ikaw ay aking lilisanin,
Di ko magagawang
Lumayo sayong piling
At nais kong malaman mo
Kung gaano kita kamahal

Hanggang ang diwa ko'y
Tanging sayo laan
Mamahalin kailanman
Hanggang pag ibig ko'y
Hanggang walang hanggan
Tanging ikaw lamang

Hanggang may himig pa akong naririnig
Dito sa aking daig-dig
Hanggang may musika akong tinataglay
Ika'y iniibig
Giliw wag mo sanang isiping
Ikaw ay aking lilisanin
Di ko magagawang
Lumayo sayong piling
At nais kong malaman mo
Kung gaano kita kamahal

Hanggang may puso akong
Marunong mag mahal
Na ang sinisigaw ay lagi ng ikaw
Hanggang saan hanggang kailan
Hanggang kailan kita mahal
Hanggang ang buhay ko'y
Kunin ng may kapal

Giliw wag mo sanang isipin
Ikaw ay aking lilisanin
Di ko magagawang
Lumayo sayong piling
Hanggang may pag ibig
Laging isisigaw, tanging ikaw
Hanggang may pag ibig
Laging isisigaw, tanging ikaw

Aral sa Buhay

Magandang pagmasdan sa umagang makapangyarihan

Sa sinag ng araw ay may ngiting sa buhay masisilayan

Sa duyan ng kaligayan ay salubungin na tunay

Nang ang buong maghapon ay walang lumbay

Sa agos ng panahon ay sumunod lamang ng tuluyan

Ng di mahirapan sa lahat ng daraanan

Sa agos ng pag asa ay isapuso patungong paraiso

Dahil tiyak sa takdang panahon pangarap matatamo

Sa impyerno na nasa paligid basta wag lang ni paapekto

Kung may problema ay ok lang, patunay na ikay tao

Sa lahat na mga iyan na panghihina ditto  sa mundong ito

Ay may katumbas na solusyon, nagbibigay aral sa iyo

Sa daraanan talaga natin, nariyan ay mga palaso at sibat

Harang sa pag unlad, tagahasa ng talinong salat na salat

Minsan naiisip nating ang pagsuko at lahat ay di na kaya

Pero wala ka matatamo, kung wala ka ni pagtitiyaga

Pero dapat ka ring magpahinga, wag iyong sabak ng sabak

Dahil kapag pagod ay ang pag iisip wala sa katuwiran

Laging manatili sa maayos at payapang katinuan

Nng walang sagabal sa daan ng kasaganaan

Ngiti lang ngiti lang, hanggang ang lahat ay maging ok

Wag masyadong mag iisip, kayang kaya iyan oh pare

Pag nadapa ka ay wag kalimutan ang pagtayo

Nang di ka mahuli sa biyaheng patungo sa asenso

Sa saliw ng musika sayaw lang ng sayaw

Sa indak ng tugtugin, matutong sumunod sa  galaw

Sa himig ng trumpeta ay sumabay lang ng sumabay

Maging payapa at tanggalin ang lumbay sa buhay

Hanggang may panahon pa ituwid ang sarili

Nang sa huli ay wala sa isip ang pagsisisi

Nasa puso lang ang nasa sa ikakabuti

Lumipad lumipad, wag lagi umasa sa pisi

Iwagayway ang pakpak para sa pangarap

Tiyak makakamit ang tamis na nilalasap

Aral sa Buhay-svj
