Glad You Came

Written By Rocky Batara on Sunday, July 15, 2012 | 4:23 AM


Another new song is now creating a big hit! This is called "Glad You Came" popularized by the band called The Wanted!

I first heard this song in Yahoo Music. Like I've told you before, I always tune in to Yahoo music whenever I'm in the office using my headset. And I always heard this song.

Since it always play, I learned to love it!

I learned to love more this song when Vice Ganda performed it in his weekend live comedy TV show "Gandang Gabi Vice." It was his opening number during the anniversary episode of his show. He performed it very well wherein he triplicate himself!

I even love the music video of it! It features the hot members of the boy band in the beach!

So let me share with you the lyrics and music video of "Glad You Came" by The Wanted! It's another hot music video! Hmmm...in my real life, when can I say, "I'm glad you came?!"


Glad You Came
(The Wanted)



The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

I'm glad you came
So glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

What Makes You Beautiful

Written By Rocky Batara on Sunday, June 3, 2012 | 1:13 AM

This is one of my favorite songs this year! It is so inspiring. And I really want to sing it!

"What Makes You Beautiful" is actually a debut single of the teenage boy group One Direction. It is released last February of 2012.

I first heard this song on the FM radio. I love it since the very first time that I've heard it! At first I didn't know the title of it so I searched it in Google and in YouTube. And thanks God, I got it! I even secured a copy of it here in my laptop and in my mobile phone.


Talking about the singers of the song, they were so cool, nice, and cute! They were young heartthrobs that will captivate your heart!

Because of this song, One Direction is today's one of the favorite boy group. It even paved way for their new hit which I will discuss in my next post!

I even remember Xian Lim for this song. It's because, he sang it during his TV guessing in "Gandang Gabi Vice" birthday special. And he really sang it very well!

So, let's get inspired over and over again with One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful!" Check out the cool lyrics and music video of this song! Great job One Direction! I am now one of your avid fans! Cool! c",)


What Makes You Beautiful
(One Direction)



You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That what makes you beautiful

So c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful

[Bridge]
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful

[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful

Drive By

Written By Rocky Batara on Tuesday, May 29, 2012 | 12:38 PM


After their 2010 hit song, "Hey Soul Sister," the boy group called Train launched another song. This is called "Drive By" and is frequently played in online radios.

I'm not sure if this said song is now playing on the different local FM radio stations. In my case, it caught my attention as it was played over and over in Yahoo Music!


The song sounds great! It's cool and nice to hear! It awakens my sleepy afternoon here in my office.

This song somewhat fits the name of this boyband. Since they called themselves as Train, then in what station will they "Drive By?"=)

I love the line in its lyrics saying, "Oh I swear to you, I'll be there to you!" I hope someone will say that to me!

I even like the music video of this song. It seems like I'm watching a romantic story shot using an artistic digital camera!

So let's start groovin' now with Train's song "Drive By." Here is its lyrics and music video! Another nice song from Train! c",)


Drive By
(Train)



[Train]
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's deja vu
But I thought this can't be true
Cause you moved to west L.A or New York or Santa Fe
Or where ever to get away from me

Oh but that one night
Was more than just right
I didn't leave you cause I was all through
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you

Oh I swear to ya
I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a 2-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
The way you do me
Oh I swear to ya
I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by

On the other side of a downward spiral
My love for you went viral
And I loved you every mile you drove away
But now here you are again
So let's skip the "how you been"
And get down to the "more than friends" at last

Oh but that one night was still the highlight
I didn't need you until I came to
And I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you

Oh I swear to ya
I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a 2-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
The way you do me
Oh I swear to ya
I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by

Please believe that when I leave
There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you
And a little time to get my head together too

On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's deja vu
But I thought this can't be true
Cause...

Oh I swear to ya
I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a 2-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
The way you do me
Oh I swear to ya
I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by

If You Come Back Music Video

Written By Rocky Batara on Wednesday, June 9, 2010 | 1:07 PM

Oh, it's been 8 years ago when this song from the boy band called Blue became a huge hit. Yeah, I was just only a second year college student during that time! And did you know that this was my theme song to my second year college love? Our affair started on the very first day of the school year!

Together with this Blue's music, let us quickly reminisce my love who became too close to me --JDTL!

I didn't expect on the very first day of school, I will meet her. She was my first-time classmate since her class schedule was in a night. She just then transfered to the morning class (in our section) because she was a working student.

She was the very first person in our class that became too close to me. Our friendship started on the first day of school year when she asked a math book from me. Until then, we became really close. She was even became part of our barkada!

For the short period of time, I really fall in love with her. But our moments together ended. She dropped all her subjects! I was left alone! So sad...!

And whenever I hear this song, I really remember her! 8 years ago, I will refresh back my feelings to her! So for this moment, I will let you see the two music videos of Blue's "If You Come Back". These two music videos were almost similar. The only difference is their beats. The first one is the original radio version while the second one is an acoustic-mix like version! Let's all see these two! JDTL...an intial to remember! C",)



More Than Words Music Video

After we dance to the tune of my first love story in college, time now to be more senti! Just like I have said, almost or majority of the Westlife's hit songs connoted my different love stories.

And this song remake of this Irish boyband originally done by the group called Extreme was one of my theme songs to my first love way back in third year high school. It's now turn for JCTM! =)

I was 15 and she was 16 that time! I was a third year high school while she was a fourth! We met when we joined together the Philippine History Quiz Bee. I can't forget that date, September 19, 1999!

When our quiz bee was over, I recruited her to join our high school student publication. Then every Sunday meeting when I was tasked to buy our foods, I asked her to come together with me (so 'kilig' haha...!). And one incident that I never forget was the time she sang this song!

It was Sunday afternoon in 11th Ave. Grace Park, Caloocan City. The songs played on the radio were all oldies but goodies. And the original version of this song from Extreme was played! Since this song was also my favorite, I was shocked hearing her singing the same song! Wow...I felt that I was being serenaded! From that moment, I really love very much this song! Specially on that year, Westlife launched their own remake of this said song!


Westlife sang it very well better than the original! Everytime I heard it playing, I remember our moments together one Sunday afternoon! I truly feel the romance within this song! Inspiration, love, admirations...all rolled into one! How I wish I will feel the same feeling again...!

So again for this very moment, allow me to share with you the same feeling I felt when hearing and watching this Westlife's version of "More Than Words"! Lyrics of the song is also flashing in this song's MTV! Let's reminisce back the times we were together JCTM! C",)

When You're Looking Like That Music Video

This Irish Boyband called Westlife was the group who really became part of my lovelife. Yup, they were the one who sang the majority of my lovelife's theme songs! From the very first time I felt the so-called 'first love' way back in my third year high school up to the college romance I had in my second year college, Westlife's hit songs became the soundtrack of my heart.

Their first hit called "Swear It Again" was my theme song to my first love having an initial of JCTM. But before we discussed that, allow me first to share with you my first romance in college which used this song as our theme.

I enter my first year college being a DOST scholar. And as a prerequisite of being such scholar, we need to took a summer class. And this summer class opened my heart into another love affair!

After our summer class, each section needs to perform a special number. Our section was divided into two. The first group will dance the crazy dance 'butsikek' while the other one will dance this hit song. And I became part of the second group.

My close friend in this class was the one who taught me the dance step of this Westlife song. And during our practice, I eventually falling in love with her. Actually upon the start of our summer class, my heart was truly captivated by her!

How I wished this summer will never end! We really became close friend! We danced together with this dance hit! We were together in the very last day of this summer class! We danced together and our section won the special number contest among the other sections!

2001 was the year we became close friend. Everytime I hear this song, I cry! I still remember her! How I wish I will dance with her again...!

So for this moment, allow me to reminisce our times together. Here is the music video of the Westlife's "When You're Looking Like That" that refreshes my heart with my love for her! My love...FJP! C",)

This was the first dance song of the hot boyband N'Sync which was also the carrier single in their album "No Strings Attached". This same song also put the group in stardom!

It was year 2000 when this dance craze became a great hit. Summer of the said year to be exact when the song played all over the radio and became number one in the different chart lists!

Did you know that this song was also my theme song to our former neighbor?!

Yup, I got a crush to our former neighbor in Valenzuela City who was a dancer! She was a member of the dance group and really got a sexy hot body! Oohh...! I even feel and feed my fantasy to have an intercourse with her! Ummm...

And every time that this song was playing in the radio, I feel like dancing with her! I even dream to have a dance with her, to be with her, and go together with her in one bed! She was really hot and had a white complexion!

Hmmm...after ten years, will I also feel the same? How about when I see her again? Could I still feel so 'hot'?! I think so since 'till now she still owns a terrific seductive body! Haha!

Well, before I talk too much below the belt, let us see this beautiful dance craze music video from N'Sync! Soooh hot...! C",)

It's Gonna Be Me Music Video

Let's bring back the boyband craze once again! Yup, boyband was a very huge hit in the late 90's and in the early 2000. And one of these boyband which really created a remarkable hit in the history of music was N'Sync!

After I made visible to you the "Invisible Man" music videos of 98 Degrees, let us see how many strings were attached to this one of the favorite boybands - the N'Sync!

I was in third year and fourth year high school when this boy group became so popular. Every recess time, all my classmates in our section even in the other section keep on listening to this group. They even bought cassette tapes of this band.

This song "It's Gonna Be Me" was somewhat memorable to me. It was my theme song to my crush in high school. Every time that I joined in the different Quiz Bees and Journalism Writing Contests in fourth year high school, it was usually played and performed in the different dance numbers!

Hmmm...years later, let us see how can this music video brings back the momeries of my high school life. For my first N'Sync offerings, here is the music video of one of their hits from the album "No Strings Attached"! Let's groove with it! C",)

No Matter What

"Stephen Gately of Boyzone Dies at 33...!" This is the news I have recently read from Starmometer.com.

Did you know Stephen Gately? Yup, I know you know the Irish Boyband Boyzone. And of course if you know the band, definitely you also know one of its controversial member Stephen Gately!
Lead of the news stated: "Stephen Gately, member of the popular Irish band Boyzone in the 90’s, died on Saturday while on holiday in Majorca off the coast of Spain." The boyband's official website further confirmed, "Stephen tragically died whilst on holiday in Majorca yesterday. The four remaining Boyzone members, including lead singer Ronan Keating, were shocked following the news of the death. They will all fly out to the island today."

Maybe on this day of this year, Stephen Gately was not anymore known. But on the 90's not just being part of his popular boyband, he created a very controversial revelation.

Stephen’s coming out as a gay man caused a sensation in the entertainment world ten years ago. He married Andrew Cowles in a civil union in March, 2006. Now his death left his husband alone.

Well, to give you how Stephen Gately look likes, take a quick snap above. That was the face of Stephen. And of course, you wonder how his husband Andrew Cowles looks, below are their pictures! You see how happy the two couple was!


And of course the last two remaining photos were the popular Irish boyband you used to love before!

Yeah, they really dominated the hit charts in the '90s. A variety of hit songs we had were coming from them.

I was in high school when they really became so popular in the music world. In my first and second years in high school, Boyzone was truly the talk of the town! They were so popular that even my group barkada in high school compared us with Boyzone. Yeah, we are the Boyzone in High School!

Being grown up with the different boyband in '90s such as this group, I dedicate this page to Boyzone. It was my own means of paying tribute to the death of one of their team member Stephen! Though they really made many different good hits, I prefer to choose this one since this song also become part of my high school life. I was in 2nd year high school, year 1998 when this song made a smash hit!

So to all the Boyzone fanatics out there, here is the lyrics of their song! I salute this group!




No Matter What
(Boyzone)

Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
Chica cha ha ha
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true

No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back

I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know our love forever
I know, no matter what

If only tears were laughter (ooh)
If only night was day (ooh)
If only prayers were answered (hear my prayers)
Then we would hear God say (say)

No matter what they tell you (ooh)
No matter what they do (ooh)
No matter what they teach you
What you believe is true

And I will keep you safe and strong
And shelter from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born

(Ooh)

No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need

No matter if the sun don't shine (sun don't shine)
Or if the skies are blue (skies are blue)
No matter what the end is
My life began with you

I can't deny what I believe (what I believe, yeah)
I can't be what I'm not
(I know, I know) I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what

No matter what (no, no matter, no)

No, no matter
That's all that matters to me
[Repeat X 7]
