[VIDEO] Ayos Lang (An Original Song)

The list of the Top 100 entries for the 2016 Philpop Songwriting Competition is here! See the results here: http://www.philpop.com.ph/top-100-entries.html

So. I didn't make it. LOL. Oh well, at least I tried. No harm done. Congratulations to the Top 100 though. If anything, [trying to join] Philpop made me appreciate OPM even more. So expect me to feature more OPM songs on my future blog posts. ;)

That said, since the winners of the 1st round have been announced, I can now post my entries (if you're interested to listen to them, that is. Lelz).

This is the first one. If you listened to it, you'll notice I tried to dabble a bit with music arranging... to no avail. But you know, in life, you gotta push your limits a little to know if there's something better out there for you. And this is me pushing my limits.... only to find out I'm better off staying within my capabilities. LOL. But it's all good. 

The title is "Ayos Lang," and isn't it funny how apt it is to the situation? Hahaha. Anyway, the song is about -- as you may have guessed -- unrequited love. That moment when you had to admit your feelings and let go of it, all in one breath. Kind of asking the person to just let you love him until the feeling goes away. /insert walling emoji here/

Here goes.

P.S. This is the shortened version, since Philpop limited each entry to a maximum of 4 minutes.

Aaminin

ko sayo ang aking damdamin

Makinig ka

Ngayon ko lamang sasabihin

Mabilis lang

Di na kita aabalahin

Alam ko namang

Di mo seseryosohin

Tuwing lalapit,

Tila ba ay nasa langit

At kahit pa 

Pag-tingin moy di hihigit pa 

Sa kaibigan

Paano pa ba mapipigilan?

Nabihag na't wala nang kawala

CHORUS: 

Sapat na ang malamang ika'y masaya

Kahit pa sa piling ng iba

Wala naman akong hinihiling pa

Magmamahal na lamang mag-isa

Tanggap ko naman

Ang tibok ng puso mo'y

Para lang sa kanya

Di naman ako manhid

Na di makita

Kung paano mo siya titigan

Ganyan din ako sa'yo

'Wag mag-alala

Puso ko lang naman ang nasasaktan

Di mo naman napapansin

Di ba?

Pagsapit ng bukas

Balik na sa dati

Na parang walang nangyari

BRIDGE:

Ayos lang,

Baka naman may ibang nakatakda

Kung di ikaw, sana nama'y

Kasing lambing mo siya

Ngunit habang hinihintay,

Sana'y hayaan na

Ika'y ibigin muna

Habang wala pa siya
