The Art Song Festival

Isa siya sa 4 na founders ng Tanghalang Anluwage, Inc. kaya hindi kataka-taka na namana ng grupo ang ilan sa kanyang mga natatanging katangian: creative, artistic, disciplined, humble, music-lover, dedicated sa pamilya, sa trabaho, sa grupo at sa bansa.

On September 20, he'll be turning 34 so we decided to take random samples of what the people around him "think" about him. Ang simpleng challenge ay ito:

DESCRIBE ART BY A SONG.

Al Francis ( brother )

If I were to describe my kuya art in a song. I think it would be Rock. Because he simply rocks..!! Happy birthday kuya!! I wish you the best of health and more blessings from the good LORD! I pray that you will find the girl that would make you happy. More birthdays to come! GOD bless!!

Ana ( friend, officemate )

There are too many to describe Art but I chose “Somebody” by Depeche Mode. It’s time for Art to settle down and have someone special to share his life with. Sayang ang ganda ng kanyang lahi kung hindi ito dadami!

Happy birthday Art!

SOMEBODY



I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

If I were to describe Kuya Art Reyes with a song, that song would be "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" - Words & Music by Christopher Cross. I chose that song because... his name's Arthur (duh!) . I also knew that he liked ballads and he always does the best he could. He said he has never been to NYC, so I hope someday that Kuya Art will get a chance to visit the Big Apple and "get caught between the moon & New York City" so he can fall in love! Ha-ha!

^_^ Carpe diem! God bless!

THE BEST YOU CAN DO





Once in your life you will find her
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know
You're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wonderin' to yourself
Hey, what have I found

When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

Arthur, he does as he pleases
All of his life his master's toys
And deep in his heart he's just
He's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a pretty good time
He's laughing about the way
They want him to be

When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
(The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
(The best that you can do)
The best that you can do
Is fall in love...

Si best friend Art ay bagay i-describe ng Coke commercial jingle ni Nikki Gil. 'Yung Kasama Ka. Since elementary days ay kaibigan, kaklase, ka-sakristan, ka-Anluwage at minsan ay naging karibal din sa isang babe.

Pag kasama mo si Art may pag-asa, may pag-ibig, may saya at saysay.

Bro, thank u for the friendship. Sorry to say this pero I have to join the "People Power 5" calling u to get married.

God bless. Happy Birthday!

KASAMA KA
(Coke Commercial)




Sana'y masabi sa awit kong ito
Lahat ng ninanais nitong puso ko
Sana saan man patungo sa buhay
May pag-ibig, may pag-asa, may saya at saysay
Sana sa bawat sandali'y matikman pa
Sarap ng pagsasama,at simpleng ligaya
Sana bawa't araw laging may saya
Laging may ngiti, laging kasama ka

Bridge
[Sana] Kasama ka sa saya ng buhay
Kasama ka't kahawak ang kamay
At sa bawat himig, sana marinig mo
[Pag magkasama] isang awit ng puso
Sana sa bawat sandali'y matikman pa
Sarap ng pagsasama,at simpleng ligaya
Tara na, sakyan lang, malay mo
Andiyan lang, andiyan lang ang hinahanap mo
Andiyan lang, andiyan lang ang hinahanap mo.

Owen ( co-Anluwage )

You by Carpenters. Alam na niya kung bakit.

YOU

You are the one who makes me happy
When everything else turns to grey
Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings
And sends me out into the day
You are the crowd that sits quiet
Listening to me
And all the mad sense that i make

You are one of the few things worth remembering
And since it's all true
How could anyone mean more to me than you

Sorry if sometimes i look past you
There's no one beyond your eyes
Inside my head wheels are turning
Hey, sometimes im not so wise
You are my heart and my soul my inspiration
Just like the old love song goes

You are one of the few things worth remembering
And since it's all true
How could anyone mean more to me than you
