Music and Lyrics 005: Heaven Knows – Rick Price

A Valentines Entry

This is one of my favorite song ever written, I think I was 1^st year high-school when it hits the radio stations, it is indeed one of the most meaningful song for me and it really mean a lot to me, I was having this last song syndrome (LSS) with this song, I been singing the chorus part of it for 3 days now, I don’t know why, I just love too.

I was 1^st year High School when I met this girl, she is one of the most beautiful girls in our campus, and she was my classmates, a lot of guys turn on to her every time they saw her, I really like her eyes and her voice, we easily became friends, we had a good days, but just after sometime, she wasn’t able to attend our class, from days it turn to weeks, from weeks it turn to months, then just before we lose hope we heard that she’s in the hospital, she is sick, by that time, I am not yet allowed to go out alone, so I wasn’t able to visit her, it was a month or two after we heard about her conditions when we learned that she already passed away, I was depress, nobody knows that, I had a feelings for her but eventually never had the chance to tell her.

Many years had passed I met another girl again, a girl that would play one of the biggest role in my life, a girl who would occupied a big space in my heart, I was a collage-freshmen in a very known I.T School when I met her, we easily became friends, classmates and seatmates, I told her I like her, she told me she likes me too, we became lovers and partners in crime since then, we had a great relationship, until she met this one handsome man, she easily fall for this guy, after almost 9-10 years, from being friends to lovers she would tell me she’s dumping me, I cried out loud, I was in my most darkest hour, “My friends keep telling me, that if you really love her, you've gotta set her free and if she returns in time, I'll know she's mine”, “But tell me, where do I start, 'Coz it's breakin' my heart, I don't wanna let her go”.

What else could we do, if someone wanna say good bye to us, there is nothing we can do but to let them go, I admit I was scared and everything, frighten and traumatized, I don’t wanna feel that kind of pain again, it’s hard, its miserable, it’s the kind of feeling that you don’t wanna feel, I was praying and hoping that she would comeback, everyday’s and every night I waited for her wishing you would return, I longed for her kisses and hugs, I am slowly melting down, burning like a candle, bleeding inside and out, I felt so lost, all the melancholies and heartaches I suffered it all, I wanted to run and hide into my most comfortable zone and that is her arm, I wanna tell her I was scared, that every time I act so brave I’m shakin’ inside but I know she wouldn’t mind, she’s no longer mine, somebody owns her heart, she could never be mine and all I can do is hope & pray 'Coz heaven knows.

And then I realized, I am falling back, all my dreams are fading, I had to do something before its too late, then I started to fix my self, I started to pick up the pieces, I build my life again, and Alhamdullillah (Praise to God) I am slowly learning to stand up again, I am slowly regaining the missing piece, I am learning to smile again, you see ladies and gentlemen, the secret of letting go is acceptance, the secret to happiness is contentment, jealousy usually comes after you compare, I had lived in despair, that I almost forgot how to smile and almost lose my faith in GOD ALLAH, but eventually GOD ALLAH has plan for me, he molded me into something I am not, he(ALLAH) brought me to life again, he(ALLAH) showed me the way, now here I am smiling at last…. Happy and contented, still single but ready to mingle… nyeheheheheh…. Happy Valentines Every-One…..

Here a song from Rick Price

Heaven Knows

She’s always on my mind,

From the time i wake up

’till I close my eyes

She’s everywhere i go

She’s all I know

Though she’s so far away

it’s just keeps getting stronger

every day

and even now she’s gone

I’m still holding on

so tell me where do Istart

’cause it’s breaking my heart

don’t wanna let her go

chorus:

Maybe my love will come back some day

Only heaven knows

and maybe our hearts will find their way

Only heaven knows

and all I can do is hope and pray

’cause heaven knows

My friends keep telling me

that if you really love her

You’ve gotta set her free

and if she returns in kind

I’ll know she’s mine

So tell me where do i start

’cause it’s breaking my heart

Don’t wanna let her go

chorus

Why I live in despair

’cause wide awake or dreaming

I know she’s never there

and all these time i act so brave

I’m shaking inside

why does it hurt me so…

chorus

Heaven knows

Shukran…..

LSS

Naranasan niyo na ba ang LSS? Alam niyo ba ang ibig sabihin nito? Actually kahapon ko lang ito pinangahasang alamin, matapos ko maranasan ito. Kelan at papano mo ito makukuha? Ito ba ay sakit? O ano?

Ang ibig pa lang sabihin ng LSS ay Last Song Syndrome, ito ay hindi sakit kundi isang minor psychological effect lamang, ito ay isang uri ng syndrome na kung saan ang pinakahulihulihang song na marinig mo o kinanta mo ay nag-iiwan siya ng bakas sa iyong utak at patuloy siyang tumatakbo sa iyong isipan.

Hindi naman sa magaling ako kumanta, mahilig lang talaga, pero di tulad ng iba, wala akong specific na gusto, lahat pinapakingan ko basta ba maganda sa tenga ko pakingan eh ok na, kahapon, habang mag-isa at taimtim na nagtatrabaho sa loob ng aking opisina eh kinakanta ko ang “Laging Leron Ka” o mas kilala sa “Leron Leron Sinta” na bersyon ni Michael V ng kanta ni Jaya “Laging Naroon Ka”. Paulit-ulit ko itong kinakanta, LSS ako mula pa kahapon ng gabi, kinakanta ko na ito, pero kahapon bago umuwi, eh napag-isipan kong gamitin ang aking mp3, matagal tagal ko na rin siyang hindi nagagamit, mga isang buwan ng mahigit.

At ayun na nga, ginamit ko na nga, at nagulat ako sa aking narinig, dahil ng buksan ko siya at pakingan ang music, eh ang unang narinig ko ay ang chorus ng Leron Leron Sinta ni Michael V. napaF**K You ako, at napanganga, dahil bago ko ilagay sa tenga ko ang head set ng aking mp3 ay kinakanta ko ang chorus nito at sakto pagkalagay ko ng head set ay ang mismong linya na ng aking kinakanta ang narinig ko, alam niyo ba yun? Nagets niyo ba ang ang ibig kong sabihin?

Halos ganito rin ang nangyari sa akin noon, kung hindi ako nagkakamali eh ate ko ata yun, nasa loob kami ngm aming kotse, kuya ko ang nagmamaneho nasa front seat kaming pareho ng ate ko at ang mga anak naman niya ang nasa likod, biglang kumanta ang Ate ko ng “I wanna know what love is I want you to show me” PAK! gulat ako, dahil yun din ang tumatakbo sa isipan ko sa mga oras na iyo ang kantang iyon at ang masaklap pa eh, may dumaang pampaseherong jeep at ang lakas lakas naman ng pagpapatogtog nila ng kanilang radyo at alam niyo ba kung ano ang pinapatugtug nila, ano pa eh di “I wanna know what love is I want you to show me”. Galing no?

Hindi lang isa o dalawang beses ko itong naranasan, kundi maraming beses na, kaya naman nagsisimula na akong maniwalang may power nga talaga ako.

Kayo share niyo naman ang LSS niyo?
