Roro Music 2009 - Part 2

WELCOME

2009-03-12T19:18:00.008-07:00

Roro Music's presence on Blogger and IMEEM are just another added venues for Romeo! Romeo! and other artists on this project to be more available in the virtual community and more so to the faithful following of BLOGGER and IMEEM Communities, two of the most popular and well-liked by music embedding crowds and listeners of digital music. Plus the added bonus of adding a second blog site is to avail of the opportunity to create or add more stuff on this "I'd-say-very-limited-pre-designed-web-blogs" that basically limits your design capability unless you can perpetually afford your own-domain-name, or if only blogging, you're already on your second editing spree! (LoL)

WHO IS ROMEO! ROMEO!

2009-03-12T19:18:00.005-07:00

Mi nombre es Romeo C. Mascariñas a.k.a. Romeo! Romeo!

Romeo! Romeo! is a versatile performer-songwriter from Bohol, Philippines who has played with so many different bands of different genre since the early 80s. For quite sometime he performed on different gigs in Bohol, Cebu, Manila and Japan 'til he decided to settle down and just focused on family life. Still performing today, most recently with the young generation of hip hop bands, Romeo! Romeo! made a successful shift from being a pop & rock guitarist to an all-around keyboard player, a move that helped him caught up with today's younger players and performers. For more than 10 years now he's also tried the field of songwriting and arranging, and producing records to help other budding songwriters and musicians produce their own radio-friendly records in this highly competitive field of the music industry.

This 2009 promises a new and exciting time for Romeo! Romeo! as he ventures into songwriting collaboration with New Orleans-based Boholano priest-songwriter, Fr. J. Roel Lungay. As both of them would wryly say, "We're going country this time! God help us!"

WHO IS FRO?

Words by Barbara "Bobbie" Henry

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Performed by Rebecca Freeman

Piano by Catherine Styron

Guitars and Bass by Steve Thomas

1
A father and a brother, a good friend to us all
He knows just when to be there
And catch us when we fall.
His heart is big and broken
It catches all our grief.
But when he lets us get it all out
It surely is a relief.

Chorus:
Who is Fro?
Who is Fro?
Who is Fro?
A father and a brother
And a friend.

2
His heart is filled with patience,
His heart is full of love.
We know that he was sent here
From heaven up above (char!).
We prayed so hard before he came,
We trusted and we waited.
We knew that God our Father
Would send to us his best.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Ad lib)

3
God did promise to care for all of us
And send us His very own.
We know that he was hand-picked
To gently lead us home.
And so we thank our God for him
With love and gratitude
Coz we believe our Father knows best
If only we accept.

(Repeat Chorus)

Coda:
A father and a brother and a friend!
A father and a brother and a friend!

Aba Birheng Maria (Audiophile)

2009-03-12T19:18:00.001-07:00

(Note: The song should play automatically or you may need to refresh your browser)

This song was written in 1984 a year after the new translation of the Tagalog Missal first came out. Our Liturgy professor, Msgr. Moises Andrade, who was commissioned by the late Jaime Cardinal Sin to spearhead the translation, gave each of us a copy of the booklet format as a gift to the diaconate class of '83. I submitted the song, along with 50 others, to the ACLM - Manila for publication in Hosanna, Volume 3, but the new translation met with great opposition as it was still very controversial at the beginning. They accepted, however, 20 plus of my other works for publication on that years' Archdiocesan hymnal.

One more thing about this song, I got my inspiration to write this tune after so many years of humming Bishop Ite Jimenez'
OUR FATHER, that I was tempted to follow the same pattern/
progression although it's a different song altogether. I promise it wasn't no plagiarism but mere influence. A word of thanks also goes to TQ Solis, Jr. for helping with the original arrangement. (LoL)

So here's both the old and new after 25 years in the priesthood! - Fro

ABA BIRHENG MARIA

Musical setting by J. Roel Lungay

Aba! Birheng Maria,
Napupuno ka ng grasya,
Ang Panginoong Diyos ay sumasaiyo,
Bukod kang pinagpala sa babaeng lahat
At pinagpala naman ang 'yong anak
Na si Hesus.

Santa Maria, Ina ng Diyos,
Ipanalangin mo kami
Ngayon at kung kami mamatay.
A---men.

Our hearts rejoice
On this blessed day of new beginnings
You caused our paths to cross.

In rapt, in love
These things that come from you alone
Binding us together
Drawing us closer to each other.

You wove our hopes & plans to reality
This blissful wondrous dream into one destiny
To face boldly our tomorrow
As we live as one.
Bearing sun and rain along the way,
Bravely pursuing secure in your hands.

What more could we ask
You’ve given your lamp to blaze our trails
Ever leading, never leaving

What is Roro Music?

Roro Music is a combination of two musical minds both of whom are true Dagohoy-blooded Boholanos. It's a collaboration founded on years of friendship, common life experience and shared interest but whose current musical quest and aspiration go beyond the limits and boundaries of some home-grown and culturally-embraced influences of the present time (pop culture), in pursuit of something new and unfamiliar, yet very special (we're going country!), in the hope of breaking new grounds (for future performing artists), creating fresh perspectives (for budding songwriters) and laying new platforms for many ipodcasters (modern music lovers) to enjoy, celebrate and tread on in the many years to come.

Musically yours,

Romeo C. Mascariñas & J. Roel Lungay

Year 2009 is a trailblazing year for us as we embark on a new musical venture we've never tried before - collaborative songwriting and self-publishing. It's a dream we never dared explore in years past when our minds were clear, pure and innocent (LoL), and our imaginations, ambitions and dares were kinda at its peak (huh!). Even though we're both musicians who grew up - and played sports - together, and whose passion for music is beyond anyone's knowing and description, our respective musical journeys have never really crossed paths before except at informal and not-so-formal gatherings (e.g. barkada gatherings, music club gigs, etc) where one played and the other appreciated, in company of boyhood friends. Thirty something years, as a matter of fact, such life's arrangement seemed to be the soup du jour of a lifetime between us from years 1976 to 2008. Then 2009 came and all of a sudden, boom!(forgive us for sounding too cocky and ambitious, hahaha), like an old friend would like to say, an "ala-Lennon-McCartney/Bernie Taupin-Elton John" meeting of the minds and hearts almost instantaneously became the rule of the day and of our newfound fervor, writing songs together!

Liner from ARCHITECTHUR:

Listen to the new sound coming out from Bohol Islands, a new indie project by 2 Boholano composers-musicians, longtime-friends, Romeo Mascariñas, a veteran in Bohol’s music circuit, and Fr. J. Roel Lungay, a veteran priest-songwriter who is now based New Orleans, the so-called birthplace of Jazz… as they embark on a new musicial journey from a fresh perspective, treading on a highway not too many local songwriters dare go, writing on a genre (southern country) that’s globally becoming more popular but is not there yet locally, a musical style that truly evokes deep emotions and exudes memories every one person can relate to and that country songs are known for.

WORKING MAN

Words by J. Roel Lungay

Music by Romeo C. Mascariñas

Performed by Romeo! Romeo!

1
Monday to Friday I’m always away
Getting up early and I’m on my way
Driving to my job for fifty dollars a day
I ain’t complaining I’m a working man.
When you’re a working man
You’re always on the run
When schedules are behind
You’re catching all the time.
When you’re a working man
Under the heat of a gun
You ain’t got life
Got nothing much of a chance.

Chorus:
Yes, I’m a working man,
I’m a working man.
I leave a lot behind, sometimes pretend I’m blind.
Yes, I’m a working man,
I’m a working man.
A working man is hardly home, he barely eats at all
O yeah, the working man
A good working man is a hell of a man!

2
Night time on Friday I go for a beer
Going home late when ready to sleep
Missus always ask me where the hell have I been
“Hey! wait a minute, I’m a working man!”

Ad Lib

When you’re a working man
Under the heat of the sun
You’ve got no chance
They call you ‘son of a gun.’

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Saturday and Sunday, at home on these days
Keeping missus happy, eating honey all day
Church on Sunday, doing laundry, watching TV, oh yeah
There ain’t no stopping I’m a working man!

Coda:
Yes, I’m a working man,
I’m a working man.
I do a lot, you know, sometimes pretend I’m done.
When you’re a working man,
Always a working man.
A working man is sometimes home, he gets to do it all
O yeah, the working man
A good working man quite a hell of a man, yeah!

I'm Totally Yours (Audiophile)

2009-03-12T19:16:00.008-07:00

I'M TOTALLY YOURS

Words by J. Roel Lungay & Linda Mascariñas

Music by Romeo C. Mascariñas

Refrain:
Define me love...
Is it all about crying in your arms
Or sharing a smile,
A smile that heals everything?
Is love really hard to describe
Or you just have to feel it
When it knocks on your door
All the way to your heart?

1
Make me or break me I’m totally yours,
Gave you my heart, my everything,
Yes, I am totally yours.
What is there to give?
You are all what I live for.

2
My life you charmed with your dimpled smile
And the music of your laughter filled my heart
With happy songs only heaven can give
Ooh, I’m totally yours.

(Repeat Refrain)

3
What with tears in my eyes but joy that I feel
I sing you this song from the depths of my being;
The music, lyric, poetry and you
All I know it’s love.

4
The time we spent together, the moments that we’ve shared
God knows what else is there between us
Heaven knows and the angels do, and us
They make us or break us
But in my heart I’m totally yours.

I'M TOTALLY YOURS M1

BACKGROUND TO THE SONG

I'm Totally Yours was originally written as a wedding song titled LEIZEL by Linda Mascariñas for her niece's wedding. Upon request of its authors it was rewritten on March 9, 2009 by Fr. J. Roel Lungay with the new title I'm Totally Yours keeping all of 2nd verse intact (paraphrased) hoping to give the song an element of universality. Hence, this demo was recorded using the new lyric... but still waiting for its original interpreter, Arthur Ungab who is currently playing in Mainland China to re-record the new version.

Caingget sunset!

People here just come and go
Take a dip, an hour or two;
Young and old, and children too!
Make their days as good as new.

2
Local wine, a sip or two;
Hanging rice and seafood, too,
Love to eat dem barbeque -
Happy faces, smiling, too!

Chorus:
Caingget sunset
I’d like to be the man I’d be!
Caingget sunset
I’d like to know what’s there to do!

Caingget sunset
I can’t believe these things are true!
Caingget sunset
I wanna go, I wanna go!
Caingget sunset,
Caingget sunset
I wanna go!

3
Music, singing, guitars, too!
Noises everywhere you go;
Call it influence or so
Nothing matters, just be you!

4
Used to dive here years ago
Scream and shout, at night time, too!
Learned to sing a note or two.
Wet and wild, and naked, too!

Bridge:
Caingget sunset!
Caingget sunset!
Caingget sunset!
Caingget sunset!

MY TAGBILARAN CITY

Words by J. Roel Lungay

Music by Romeo C. Mascariñas

Performed by Romeo! Romeo!

It feels like a dream
A quiet I couldn't quite figure out just yet
A moment of silence that is
On a journey I know not the direction.

Peoples and machines moving thoughtlessly
in all direction -
No visible footsteps nor clear faces -
Nothing seems to make sense
Much like waking up at dawn for no reason at all.

The serenity just drowns on top of silence -
Silence incensed with movements -
I wonder if the gods have something to do
with all these
Quite precious it seems
I'm almost like sleepwalking.

This I conclude, I must be awake!
I must be home!
I must be where I need to be!
And want to be!
Where I dreamt to be...
And love to be...

Not sleeping but awake!

My Tagbilaran City!

INDECISION

Words by J. Roel Lungay

Music by Romeo C. Mascariñas

Performed by Romeo! Romeo! &
J. Ann Talisic

1
Indecision
Reflects uncertainty
Prevents our moving on.
Vindication
Excuses that we make
To hide away the truth.

2
Irreligion
It's messing up the faith
It's really going deep.
Invocation -
A need to make a plea
It's a real deal.

Refrain:
There's no regret, no illusion
Not sign of regress or confusion
Violence feeds revolution.
Avoid bad emotion,
Embrace high ambition -
Life is too precious
We have to move on.

3
Domination -
Competition everywhere,
Can't see the finish line.
Hard condition -
Imprisonment for all;
We have to free ourselves.

Bridge:
Evolution
With all its growing pain
Creation at its best.
Animation -
It brings us life again
A glorious day begins.

(Repeat Refrain twice)

Coda:
Indecision
It's something we can't keep
We need to move along.
Indecision
No matter if it's deep
We have to move along.

LIVING A DREAM

Words by J. Roel Lungay

Music by Romeo C. Mascariñas

Performed by Romeo C. Mascariñas

1
I have something to say
Feel so jumpy today
Would you listen to me?
I’m living a dream, living a dream!

2
At a lost for some words
Imagining at the most
Would you mind if I say
I’m a living a dream!

Refrain:
Give me your arms and hold me tight
Give me your hands and rest with mine
Give me your lips to kiss goodnight
Give me your heart for love like mine.
Share me your dreams, let’s take a ride
Walk to the moon, it’s really nice
Reach for the stars our guiding light
Living a dream, living a dream!

(Interlude)

3
You and I everyday
Friends, acquaintance, family
I’m thankful for everything
I’m living a dream, living a dream!

4
So much freedom and then
Wealth of blessings I’d say
God, how lucky we are
We’re living a dream!

(Repeat Refrain)

Bridge:
Spread your wings, fly up to the sky
Throw your cares away and say goodnight
Rest abound, aplenty, no confines
You’re living a dream! You’re living dream!

(Repeat Refrain)

Coda:
Livin’ a dream, livin’ a dream!

I have to stop all my blogging today - and probably for the coming days - just to give this new song a listen. I mean, my undivided attention. But also, to give you - all y'all - an opportunity to simply enjoy the music of our dear friend, songwriter extraordinaire, Romeo "Meo" Mascariñas, as he once again shows his prowess in song creation with his vintage and punchy guitars, the overall arrangement and what-have-you.

"I'd like to imagine doing a solo concert at Wimbley Stadium in U.K. in front of a million list'ners. Is that too much to dream of? Ahihihi..." (Meo)

HERE I AM

Words by J. Roel Lungay

1
I can hear the silence
When I walk into the room;
I can feel the cold air
When there's really no one there.
It's almost like a whisper
When I heard you call my name;
I see light from a distance
And rain does start to fall.

2
I can see some shadows
In a darkened room;
I can sense emotion,
I can smell your breath.
Suddenly there's movement,
Suddenly there's life,
Suddenly I see you;
I hear music in the air!

Chorus:
Here I am, here I am.
Here I am right before your eyes.
Here I am, here I am.
Yes, I am... I am, I am.
I am music, music is what I am!

(Ad Lib 1)

3
I long to write some music,
I long to reach your heart;
Pouring out some melodies,
Like an angel by your side.
Nothing more I love to hear
Just to see you there;
Nothing more I ever dream
Than to kiss your hair.

Chorus:
Here I am, here I am.
Here I am right before your eyes;
Here I am, here I am.
Yes, I am... I am, I am
I am music, music is what I am.

Bridge:
I am here with you
(Here I am, here I am)
Love to be with you
(Here I am, here I am)
Anywhere with you
(I will go be with you)
Everything is new
(When I really am with you)

(Ad Lib 2)

(Repeat Chorus)

(Ad Lib 3)
