Droplets

I really like this song. i love the way it is played.
It's so peaceful and simple. It's like an atomic
bomb of emotions exploding in your ears...[hehe:)]

Isa 'to sa mga paborito ko na kanta...
simple lang pero tumatatak sa kaluluwa mo
(char!) Ang sarap pakinggan. napaka
peaceful. masarap sa ears. Nung una ko
tong napakinggan, naluha ako sa ganda..
infairness maganda rin talaga ang boses nilang
dalawa.. lalo na yung sa lalake.

Droplets
(Colbie Caillat & Jason Reeves)

I'm leaving you
I'm not sure if that's what I should do
It hurts so bad
I'm wanting you but I can't go back
Trying to find, to find
That all elusive piece of mind
Stuck here somehow
Shrouded beneath my fear
And doubt, and I don't need it

Cuz I'm walkin down this road alone and figured all I'm thinking bout is you, is you my love
And my head is in a cloud of rain and the world it seems so far away and i'm just waiting to fall
In droplets, droplets

You left a mark
I wear it proudly on my chest
Above my heart (Above my heart)
To remind me that I feel the best
When I'm with you (When I'm with you)
To me everything is effortless
You know its true (You know it's true)
My eyes are painted with regret and I don't need it (Regret and I don't need it)

Cuz I'm walkin down this road alone and figured all I'm thinking bout is you, is you my love (Figured all I'm thinking about is you) (you my love)
And my head is in a cloud of rain and the world it seems so far away and I'm just waiting to fall and sink into your skin (World it seems so far away and I'm) (waiting to fall and sink into your skin)

You are like the raindrops, the raindrops falling down on me (You are like the raindrops, the raindrops falling down on me)

You left a mark (you left a mark)
She left a mark (he left)
She left (he left)
And I don't (I don't)
Need it. (Need it)

Kalangan----music and culture

Hey guys!! I'm a new blogger and my major inspirations are music and culture.

As a proud tausug, I would just like to share our beautiful music and culture...

Kalangan is Tausug vocal music. It can be divided into narrative and lyric songs, and further into the lugu and the paggabang traditions. The luguh traditio-n denotes unaccompanied religious songs, while the paggabang tradition applies to "more mundane" songs that are accompanied by the gabbang and biyula.

Narrative songs tell a story and include all the sung kissa like the parang sabil. Lyric songs express ideas and feelings and consist of the langan batabata (children's songs), the baat (occupational songs), the baat caallaw and pangantin (funeral and bridal songs, respectively), the tarasul (sung poems), the sindil (sung verbal jousts), the liangkit (from langkit or "chained"), and the sangbay or song to accompany the dalling-dalling dance.
The langan batabata are more specifically lulla-bies.

This is an example of a tausug happy melody sung by farmers and the fishers after a hard day's work:

Manok-manok Iupad kaw
Sulat ini da kaw
Pagdatung mu sumha kaw
Siki lima siyum kaw.

Little bird fly away
Bring this letter
When you arrive make an obeisance
And kiss [her] feet and hands.

…

Saupama naghangka-bangka
In alun landu' dakula
Seesabroos nagkalalawa'
Hi rayang hadja
In ba laum dila'.

Supposing I'll go boating
The waves are very big
The Seesabroos was lost
My darling's name
was always on my tongue.
