Reminiscence

Like Will, I like songs that are sad but beautiful. Most of these, for me, are acoustic songs that do not need electronic amplification. I remember one time, as I heard this from my daughter’s collections; I was drawn to a song of Moonstar 88, a local band in the Philippines, that sing songs dramatically and applicably. You will notice that some parts are repeated often making it easier for the listeners to remember them easily. And hey, acoustic songs are those remarkably called folk songs.

I'm Sorry

Moonstar88

I'm on my way

With my roses and box full of sweets

I had it all, memorized the lines in my head

Thinking I'd be winning your smile

Once again

heeey...

But when I saw you

I realized how I am ashamed of myself

My mouth has failed to say the things

I just can't express

Afraid to say things I might regret

heeey...

Chorus:

What is there to do when

I did something wrong

I didn't mean to hurt you but it took so long

To say I'm sorry I'm sorry

Say you won't ever leave me down

Say you won't ever leave me down

Say you won't ever leave me down

I'm sorry

Repeat Chorus

Say you won't ever leave me down

Say you won't

Say you won't

Say you won't ever leave me down

Say you won't ever leave me down

I'm sorry

I'm sorry
