ika'y hibang sa akin kahit 'di mo man aminin alam ko lang lahat

kung sa'n may usok ay may sunog bulong may mayro'ng tunog kidlat sabay kulog

ako'ng iyong mahal ako'ng iyong mahal

ako'ng iyong mahal ako'ng iyong mahal

labis-labis ang isang daang taon di ko kayang maghintay ng gano'n sa kalabit ko'y sumasagitsit hindi ko na itatanong

hayaan mo na 'yon hayaan no na 'yon

ika'y baliw sa akin kahit 'di mo man sabihin alam ko lang basta

sa isang kumpas ko'y haharurot naniniksik na parang surot hindi ko 'to pasya

hindi ko 'to gusto hindi ko 'to gusto

hindi ko 'to gusto hindi ko 'to gusto

labis-labis ang isang daang taon di ko kayang maghintay ng gano'n sa kalabit ko'y sumasagitsit hindi ko na itatanong

hayaan mo na 'yon hayaan no na 'yon

“Dayami”

Purple Chickens

  This is my first track review, so go easy on me. ;)

  I was lucky enough to trade in my group’s album for a copy of Haláng by the Purple Chickens during our fun Radio Republic gig in 19 east a couple months ago. I was also very lucky to get to see them live for the first time. Excuse me for the late memo, but I live under a rock most of the time.

  I press play and close my eyes. “Dayami” is the perfect first track because as I listen, I visualize myself entering a tunnel flooded with komorebi (light that filters through tree leaves). The thick atmosphere of sound is ethereal and beautiful. When the words start to come in to play with the sound, it all just blends together perfectly.  The lyrics are about things in the past that come back from the grave to haunt you, musically it feels like a dream sequence. Maybe they were trying to give us the feeling that these things from the past are no longer real and no longer reside in the present- just like a ghost of an idea.

  I hope you go out to see them live and get a copy of their album “Haláng” J It’s a wonderful piece of art that should be heard and appreciated for it’s many details.

The Purplechickens being their usual wholesome selves with erudite meta-Manox Paul Julius Martin Catiang. The ubiquitous peace sign I was brandishing was sadly reduced to the bird.
