before i left for nueva ecija to resume my vacation, i had to succumb to my habit of going online. i usually do this in order to chat up people, check e-mails, upload literary works or edit papers. this time, i had to surf the net for the lyrics of house music, especially those chillout songs i was accustomed to hearing as background in the blue bar i frequent. it was amazing that a number of my former students like some of these songs too, so when i hear them singing some lines or listen to these songs in their i-pods, i come to think: what if they discover that in one part or another of this urban jungle, the songs are actually being used as backdrop for cruising gay guys? four songs have become my personal favorite for the homosexual overtures (three of which are, in fact, in my phone as mp3 downloaded items) and i'm pasting them here to share them to you:
flying away (moony)
I wake up
I wash my face and go
here’s another day, I'm sure
I'll fight for what I love
and my music keeps going on
my heart begins to beat
and my music keeps going on
it makes my life complete
I’m flying away, I'm flying away
I’m flying away, I'm flying away
It's the sound I cannot live without
as the rhythm goes, I’m sure
my soul will never pause
and my music keeps going on
it opens up my eyes
and my music keeps going on
'cause one day I was blind
I’m flying away,
I'm flying away
I’m flying away,
I'm flying away
I'm flying...
I'm flying away
ever after (bonnie bailey)
Three years ago, our journey began
Chasing down this cure, no plan in hand
Just your pulse, my racing guide in the dark
Just knowing with conviction from the start
The moment your eyes made an introduction
I felt my second violent breath of life
Flawless to the point of being godly
Yet I fell hard for your imperfections
And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you
Nothing compares to the good times
Feels like we're floating, when the rest have to climb
You made me believe in love, and not the perfect kind
A real messy beautiful twisted sunshine
Emotions, volcanic eruptions
We both still care, so we're still alive
Tunnel vision, determination
I want you, I want to make it right
And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you
You are my twisted sunshine
You are my twisted sunshine[2x]
And now we're slightly weathered, we're slightly worn
Our hands grip together, eye to eye through the storm, yet
I still believe in ever after with you, yeahhhhh
Cuz life is a pleasure with you by my side,
And there ain't no current in this river we can't ride
I still believe in ever after with you
dove (moony)
Why can't he give her his love
No more again
Tears on her face, the dove
She cries, she knows
She won't be able to fly
Away from him
She'll look a red rose in the spring
No she won't be able to sing
Songs of love
I'll open up my heart
I'll be loving you forever and ever
I'll be part of you
In the way I do
Come into my life so I can sing
And if she questions the sun
Why, why me
The sun doesn't answer
Oh God, can you help me
The answer is easy my love
You've built your own jail
You've always been part of the sky
So why d'you keep staying by his side
Away from me
I'll open up my heart
I'll be loving you forever and ever
I'll be part of you
In the way I do
Come into my life so I can sing
I'll be loving you forever and ever
I'll be part of you
In the way I do
Come into my life so I can sing
She's a white dove
An angel in disguise
She fell in love with the man
But this man won't give back her love
So this is her cry
This is her cry
This is her cry
I'll open up my heart
I'll be loving you forever and ever
I'll be part of you
In the way I do
Come into my life so I can sing
I'll be loving you forever and ever
I'll be part of you
In the way I do
Come into my life so I can sing
I'll be loving you forever and ever
I'll be part of you
In the way I do
Come into my life so I can sing
Why can't he give her his love
No more again
Tears on her face, the dove
She cries, she knows
She won't be able to fly
Away from him
She'll look a red rose in the spring
No she won't be able to sing
Songs of love
I'll open up my heart
I'll be loving you forever and ever
I'll be part of you
In the way I do
Come into my life so I can sing
And if she questions the sun
Why, why me
The sun doesn't answer
Oh God, can you help me
The answer is easy my love
You've built your own jail

Come into my life so I can sing
be my world (milky)
Na na na na na..........
na na na na na..........
All alone that's me in many troubles
I need you now to be close to me
There's a world runnin' round run in circle
I don't know how it would be
Uh, I'm starving without your loving
with your kisses you can fill me now
Uh, come closer don't wait a minute
you are the end come on and be my world
Na na na na na..........
na na na na na..........
And I love to watch you when you're walking alone
but there's nothing I can say to make you feel the same way
All I see is a face in the mirror
I fall into emotion pull me out of time
Na na na na na..........
na na na na na..........
Uh, I'm starving without your loving
Uh, come closer don't wait a minute
you are the end come on and be my world
Na na na na na..........
na na na na na..........
