Kasiyahan

Wednesday, December 26, 2007

One way to test the marketability of the song that you personally made is to listen to it without bias. If you find it sucky, then you'll know that it won't be liked by most people. Otherwise, you'll decide to release it to the masses.

This song was made on October 30, 2007 as an impromptu song. Meaning I just made the chord pattern and spit some words out. Yep, it's like making a song without prior production. Just strum and sing. It was called "Kasiyahan" and it was about a relationship that I had a couple of years ago.

Nasan na ba yung mga gabing kita'y pinupuyat
Asan na ba yung mga gabing nakikita ko ang mong labi iyong kinakakagat
Mga gabing yon ay nagsilbing ilaw nung ako ay bulag pa
Inahon mo ako sa dilim

Nasan na ba yung mga texts mo sa akin
sana di ko binura
San na ba yung mga yung offline messages mo sa akin
Sana di ko binura
Ngayon ako'y nagiisa
sana'y nandito ka
miss ko na mga ngiti mo
at pisngi mong mapuputi

Humaba na ba ang yong buhok
Nag-asawa ka na ba?

Nandito ka pa rin sa aking alaala
Ang sarap naman ng iniwan mo sa akin
Kasiyahan
Hanggang ngayon ay nararamdaman
Kasiyahan
Hanggang ngayon ay nararamdaman

You can find the video here. 

That's me doing the bassline on top of a prerecorded Acoustic-vocals rendition. And I just finished doing a four-piece version of that, which you can listen to by clicking the play button below.
