If

"If" is a 1990s song by singer/composer Nelson del Castillo. The song talks about a man who wants to show his sincere feelings to a woman that he truly loves. This man illustrates his love through a series of conditions like if someone else would come, the man wishes or hopes it would be someone who will love her more than he is. The title of the song is based on these series of conditions.

In 2007, the melody of this song was incorporated in Jim Brickman's all-piano instrumental "Hope", which is included in the album with the same name. The inclusion of this track on Brickman’s album stirred some controversy because Brickman did not give credit to Del Castillo’s original work. To avoid copyright infringement, Brickman e-mailed Del Castillo for an apology regarding the fiasco.

If

If you see that love shine through
Don't be afraid to show me that you care
And I will take all the doubts in you
And show you what to do
And find a way to make you feel
That I am here ready to show you the way

(Refrain)
So, if you say goodbye to me
Always remember this....
that woman you really mean more to me
And if someone else would come
I (hope/wish) it would be someone who will love you more
And will take care of you
Much more than I can do

(Bridge)
Dreams are there for us
Dreams are sometimes end
Don't ever think that I am just a dream

(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Bridge)
(Repeat Refrain to fade)

Esem

"Esem" is a mid-1990s hit from Filipino rock group Yano, which is included on their eponymous album. The song is a reference to SM City North Edsa, the very first super mall established by SM Prime Holdings, in Quezon City, Philippines. This mall is one of the favorite tambayan (hangout) of some University of the Philippines students, which members of Yano (Dong Abay and Eric Gancio) belong. In this song, they recount their experiences while loitering inside the mall without any money to buy things except for transportation fare and two cigarettes. It shows the true iskolar ng bayan (scholars of the nation), who strive hard to study with their little allowances. Esem Patingin-tingin, di naman makabili Patingin-tingin, di makapanood ng sine Walang ibang pera, kundi pamasahe Nakayanan ko lang, pambili ng dalawang yosi Pamoy-amoy, di naman makakain Busog na sa tubig Gutom nailipas din Patuloy ang laboy Walang iisipin Kailangang magsaya, kailangang magpahangin Nakakainip ang gan...

Laklak

" Laklak " is an alternative rock song by Filipino band Teeth. The song is included in their double-platinum eponymous album in 1995. " Laklak " reached number 1 for 12 weeks in LA-105, a former alternative rock station in Manila, and was voted as Song of the Year at 1995 NU 107 Rock Awards. "Laklak" was re-recorded to fit the mainstream audience. The lyrics of the song are somewhat controversial because it talks about alcoholism in the youth. Although, it can also viewed as a way to avoid alcoholism because the song shows how too much drinking can make a person looked like a police who has a big tummy. In 2002, a cover version by Gloc 9 and Dong Abay is included in the soundtrack of Videoke King , a Filipino film, which stars Robin Padilla and Pops Fernandez. This version of "Laklak" is included in the self-titled album of Gloc 9. Laklak Nagsimula sa patikimtikim Pinilit kong gustuhin Bisyo'y nagsimulang lumalim Kaya ngayon ang hirap t...

Harana

"Harana" (Tagalog for "Seranade") is one of Parokya ni Edgar's biggest hit. In 1999, this song got an award from MTV Video Music Awards in the "Southeast Asia Viewer's Choice Awards" category. It seems that there is some kind of irony (or humor) in this song because their doing the harana (serenade) in formal barong (a traditional Filipino garment) with the informal maong (jeans). This song was originally written by Filipino singer Tony Lambino and ended up to this Filipino alternative rock band. In 2002, Parokya ni Edgar made a full version of this song with the following addition: Uso pa ba ang harana? Marahil ngayon ay alam mo na Basta’t para sa iyo aking hirang Kahit na magmukhang hibang Tutupdin ang lahat liyag pagkat ako ang iyong bihag. Harana (Narration) Tao po! Good evening, puwede ba hong mangharana? Uso pa ba ang harana Marahil ikaw ay nagtataka Sino ba 'tong mukhang gago Nagkandarapa sa pagkanta At nasisintunado sa kaba Meron pan...
