Ikalawang Yugto- Rico Blanco's Back

I was downloading a song from a website awhile ago when something caught my attention. There was this song entitled Yugto from the upcoming new album of Rico Blanco, the ex-Rivermaya's vocalist who left his band a year ago. So, does this mean Rico will be back in the local music scene? If he will, then that would be great. He's a very good songwriter and I like most of his songs not to mention the fact that my friend Michelle will be ecstatic to hear about this. She admire Rico a lot.

I decided to download the song on my own satisfaction just to check if its nice. To my surprice the lyrics is quite interesting. As for me, I think the song is a giveaway of the reason why he left a year ago. I don't know... Actually, I'm not that sure about it. Perhaps I'm just a malicious person that's why I mention this kind of things.

Oh, well. I decided to transcribe the lyrics of the song which is quite stupid coz I forgot to just search for it on google (Duh me!). Whatever it is, I'm still proud to say that I got 95% of the lyrics correctly. Now, I can pursue a medical transcription career if I'm bored with my current job. lol


YUGTO (Rico Blanco)

Hoooo, Ho ho ho 2x

sa gitna ng kagubaan may ahas na hahalik
tatawagin kang kaibigan na pinakamatalik
pupulupot sa leeg mo't sisipsip ng 'yong dugo
papako ka sa krus pag ikaw ay natuyo

sa gitna ng kaguluhan may kukulong bulkan
di mapipiggil ang yabang at sakdal na kasakiman
susbukang angkinin ang lahat ng hindi kanya
kaya kang paikutin tiyak na paiikutin ka

ngunit hindi nila kayang baliin ang iyong loob
ang pag-ibig na hawak mo'y hindi maglulubog
lumiyab ka, lumiyab
hooo ho ho ho 2x

sa gitna ng kadiliman may bwitreng nagmamasid
may magbabato ng putik nguniot walang may mayayanig
iiyak ang mga batang nahulugan ng kendi
lalo na'ng mga problemang sa iba sinisisi

sa gitna ng kagubaan may ahas na hahalik
itinuring mong kaibigan na pinakamatalik
leeg mo'y pupulutan, dugo mo'y sisipsipin
pag wala ka nang pahinga ang ending mo'y sa bangin

ngunit hindi nila kayang baliin ang iyong loob
ang pag-ibig na hawak mo'y hindi maglulubog
lumiyab ka, lumiyab, lumiyab
hooo ho ho ho 2x

tuwing hating-gabi marirnig mo ang mga huni
ng mga kaluluwnang naliligaw
lahat ng pera sa mundo hindi kayang gawing ginto
ang huwad na na tao

ang mga tinig palakas ng palakas
hanggang gumuho ang mga hadlang
ang mga tinig palakas ng palakas
hanggang gumuho ang mga hadlang

saksi ang langit sa lahat ng naganap
saksi ang langit sa ikalawang ang yugto
lumiyab ka, lumiyab ka (sa ngalan ng ------)
lumiyab ka ((sa ngalan ng ------)
lumiyab (ang puso mo'y -------)
lumiyab,lumiyab

Bye, bye na Rico

I'm having a flu for the second time in one month and it sucks! It sucks because I can't sleep the way I used to and I had to buy another roll tissue paper because of it! But this entry won't be about my stupid flu. Who would even get interested with my runny nose anyway? Every one of us has his own experiences about this. Just like Edward- he used to have runny nose every month! heheheh... Just kidding...

On the serious note, I decided to write this entry to share my feelings about the news that Rico Blanco, the Rivermaya frontman will be leaving the band. I first heard it on Myx news early tonight. It was really surprising coz I they're starting to be known internationally and then, all of a sudden he'll be leaving the band! Jeez... I really feel bad about it... They're one of my favorite bands and Rico, he's really a good songwriter. I do love his songs...

Yes, this is not a joke. The band's manager said this wasn't just a gimik forthe band to be talked about. So, it was true. Rico even confirmed it through his multiply site, A MILLION FLAMES that he's really leaving the group... The good news is, the band won't be totally gone and Rico asks the fans to keep supporting the group.

My friend Michelle will surely feel depressed after hearing all of this. As for me, man! This is sooo goddamn disappointing! I never really had the chance to watch them perform live. If I only knew he's leaving, I should have watched Rivermaya when they last came here last March.

Sigh. I just wanna wish him all the love luck in the world and best things in life when he leaves the limelight... (nax.. feeling close)


And to Rico, Psst... Thanks for rocking our lives!
