All I Need

"All I Need" is a 2003 song by now defunct Filipino rock group Barbie's Cradle, which was led by Barbie Almalbis who is now on her solo career. It was nominated for "Best Music Video" in the 10th NU Rock Awards, a yearly awards event given by Manila-based radio station NU 107. Although, the video of the song was lost to 7 Foot Jr's "Daisy".

The song seems to be a religious or spiritual song because the title refers to a person who only needs God and believes that army of angels are in his or her heart.

All I Need

Inside of my heart
Is an army of angels
Just ’cause I let you go
Oh, volunteers they are here
To love and help me
Only ’cause I said no

(Chorus 1)
To the killer eyes
That invite me to do things
I would have to lie about

And it’s better now, we are safe
You know I love you more from far away
Now that all I need is God

Hey, little girls
Do you still have things that haunt you
Are all the words I say unclear
You know I was there
Just a while ago so miserable
Until I told the truth and prayed

(Chorus 2)
And the killer eyes
That invite me to do things
I would have to lie about (just lost it’s sparkle)

And it’s better now, we are safe
You know I love you more from far away
Now that all I need is God

(Bridge)
Inside of my heart
Is glorious army waiting for war

(Chorus 3)
The killer eyes
That invite me to do things
I would have to lie about lost their sparkle

And its better now, we are safe
You know I love you more from far away
Now that all i need is…

Inside of my heart is an army of angels (Repeat 4x)

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...

Kaleidoscope World

"Kaleidoscope World" is rap song by Filipino rapper Francis M. from the album Freeman that was released in 1995. In the unrehearsed introduction of this hit from the Master Rapper, he sucked a helium-filled balloon and offered some of it to his daughter Maxene Magalona. Paying homage to The Beatles 1966 song "Here, There & Everywhere", this hit features three distinct guitarists - Perf De Castro of Rivermaya, Olrac and Noel Mendez and, in 1995, won an Awit award for "Best Produced Record" of the year. The song tackles on diversity amongst people, which have different social status, physical features, opinions, preferences etc. It compares those differences to a toy called kaleidoscope that even if there are different colors and hues, it still a “beautiful view”, implying that we should respect each other differences and freedoms. In 2004, Francis M collaborated with Pinoy Rock group Parokya ni Edgar in the live album Inuman Sessions Vol. 1 ., and rappe...
