GISING NA

Unang lumabas yung "Giging Na" sa Xmas album namin na
"Jingle Balls Silent Night Holy Cow" (gitara at vocals lang...)

It was again released on our 4th album "Gulong itlog Gulong" na may kasama nang keyboards...(pero mastrip ko talaga yung orig version)

I wrote it for my 1st gf who was a med student nung time na yun.

Pero nung una, hindi talaga "Gising Na" yung kanta...


Being in med school, laging puyat yung gf ko kaka-aral, at awang-awa talaga ako sa kanya kasi sobrang kulang sya palagi sa tulog...

The 1st line i wrote was "tulog na...ipikit ang iyong mata, tulog na"

I liked how the song started, but i wasn't in love with it...

I stopped and went towards the opposite direction.

"gising na...buksan ang 'yong mga mata, gising na"


Natapos ko agad yung kanta and fell in love with it!

My favorite line was "nagsama ang ginaw, at ang lambing ng araw",
which was a familiar feeling para sakin tuwing simbang gabi kapag sumisikat na ang araw (remember, this song was written while we were writing songs for our Xmas album and i wanted to use that line sa kantang "Simbang Gabi" pero di ko masingit...so i included it in this one)

My 1st gf is a doctor now.
She's happily married and is currently based sa US.

Anyway, yun po yung kwento ng "Gising Na"

Sana natripan nyo... :)
