You Were There

Written By Rocky Batara on Friday, May 6, 2011 | 12:19 PM

Piolo Pascual is now creating a new hit. This is his own renditions of former classic love songs we grew up with!

The Ultimate Heartthrob and Leading Man Mr. Piolo Pascual currently released his newest album called "Decades II". This is a followup of his first "Decade" album which truly became a double platinum hit.

Just like his previous album, "Decades II" contains Piolo's very own versions of the hit love songs from 80's, 90's, and early 2000's.

And Papa Piolo's carrier single for this second album is called "You Were There!" Yup, all of us were very much familiar with this song since it's a 90's hit!

I even grew up with this said song. It became a huge hit way back 1994. I was a little child then during that time. I used to sing it! It even became a theme song of Lorna Tolentino's massacre movie called "The Elsa Castillo Story!"

Regine Velasquez made her own version of it way back in 1996 or 1997. And after almost a decade or ten years later, a hunk heartthrob Papa P. popularizes it using his own version!

I even love to sing it until now! And yes, my voice is truly blended with it! Don't worry 'cause next time during our videoke session, I will sing it! Hehe...!

So before I sing it to you, allow me first to share with you the romantic music video of it as well as its captivating lyrics. Then during our videoke session, compare my voice, my own rendition to this song with that of Piolo! c",)


You Were There

(Piolo Pascual)



I guess you've heard
I guess you know
In time I might have told you
But I guess I'm too slow
That's overly romantic
But I know that it's real
I hope you don't mind if I say what I feel
It's like I'm in somebody else's dream
This could not be happening to me

But you were there
And you were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long and empty sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes and you were there

Don't be alarmed no don't be concerned
I don't want to change things
Leave them just as they were
I mean nothing's really different
It's me who feels strange
I'm always lost for words when
Someone mentions your name
I know that I'll get over this for sure
I'm not the type who dreams there could be more

But you were there
And you were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long and empty sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes and you were there

Can I take your smile home with me
Or the magic in your hair

The rain has stopped
The storm has passed
Look at all the colors
Now the sun's here at last
I suppose that you'll be leaving
But I want you to know
Part of you stays with me even after you go
Like an actor playing someone else's scene
This could not be happening to me

But you were there
And you were everything I'd never seen
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes and no, I'm not alone
I opened my eyes and you were there

Terminal

Written By Rocky Batara on Thursday, March 24, 2011 | 4:28 PM

As part of his album Decades, the Ultimate Heartthrob and Leading Man Mr. Piolo Pascual is reviving the classic hit love song "Terminal".

"Terminal" is one of the song I used to grow up with. Yeah, I love to sing it before. Thanks tha Piolo Pascual made his own rendition of this great song.

But do you know what captures my attention watching its music video?

Yeah, the setting of the music video! Did you see the place?!

Yup, the music video was taken in Piazza Mall in McKinley! And this is our place! This is where my office is located! And I love seeing the place here in this music video! Nice!

The beauty of McKinley was emphasized in the music video! It perfectly fits the romantic song and the romantic voice of Papa Piolo! Hmmm...when did this music video was taken?! Hayz...hope that I see Papa Piolo Pascual shooting in this music video!

Now, I would like to share with you the music video and the lyrics of Piolo Pascual's version of "Terminal". Let sing with it and feels like being serenade with the good and handsome voice of Papa PJ! Nice! c",)

Terminal
(Piolo Pascual)



I’ve come back this mornin’ to where I first
came alive
Here within this terminal where the buses
arrive
I was a commuter on the 804
Work for a computer on the 19th floor and…

You came down the aisle of the bus and you
sat by my side
Shoulder up to shoulder we shared that 9
o’clock ride
Oh, my heart was screamin’ as you left your
seat
Followin’ your movements I was at your feet
and…

Oh, down into the terminal both of us smiled
So we entered the terminal just as you smiled
“Won’t you leave out work
for today?” you
ask of me then
So I phoned-in-sick on the way to the home
of a friend
We were all alone from 10 A.M. till 3
Really thought the fire had gone out of me
but…

You awoke the sleep of my life from gray
into red
Made the weary wonder of Wall Street rise
from the dead
Could have held up budding my entire life
But I had to get home to the kids and the
wife and…
So I left for the terminal where I began
Baby, no, I wouldn’t have left if I’d been
half a man

So here I am this morning where love had
asked for the dance
Here within this terminal where I passed on
a chance
Lord, I’ll never find her though I’ve truly tried
Probably she’s found another bus to ride and…

I am now about to begin the last of my days
I’m within what others would call a terminal
phase
I myself can only say it’s livin’ dead
Ridin’ to the office with a song in my head
that goes…

La da da…
And you know it grows
La da da…
Oh, la da da…
Oh, la da da…
