Hello: Whistle Alert Version

Have you ever tried hearing a song of piano ballad with soul origin from a RnB singer?

Here comes a new cover of our very own Mr. Johann Mendoza from the British singer and songwriter, Adele, whom I consider as one of the major "hugot" (pulled from the heartstring) singers of this generation. 

Seriously, when I first saw the link, I had no idea what would be the song but I'm 101% sure that this will surely hit infinite views. Upon hearing few of the first lines, gee! I knew it was the latest song from Adele and honest to goodness, this is definitely the best version of the song that I've heard so far. 

One of the rare abilities of an artist is to make your own version more unique and more pleasing to listeners, and this is the first time that I did finish the whole song. I'm not saying that Adele weren't able to make it more heartbreaking or relatable. Of course she did, because she already has this brand of coming up with a heartbreaking piece but the whistle alert guy version of the song is A+ and definitely awesome. 

And in my own opinion, the lyrics would be more fitted to be sung by a guy but Adele has her own unique way of breaking several records.

The cover of Johann was able to retain the original theme of the song which is mainly nostalgia and regret but Johann, also has his own way of making his listeners appreciate his version, different from the original. 

Additionally, I love how Adele come up with the lyrics and vocals and this is definitely fitted for a make-up record at 25. 

And for the listeners and viewers, Filipinos definitely has something to be proud of, which is not only the talent that Filipinos has to offer, but also the talented individuals themselves like Johann who continues to inspire other artists and at the same time brings out the best in arts and music.

Kudos both for Adele and Johann, who were definitely masters of their own craft!

Start of Spring

The Spring starts on March but this time, I'm not pertaining to either meteorological or astronomical type of Spring. I'm talking about the spring pertaining to a blossoming feelings that I am starting to have with you.

It was three in the afternoon, and I'm waiting for you. I am waiting for you not because I knew from the start that I have to. I am waiting because I knew for a fact that we are going to be together for a matter of eight hours shift.  Who would have thought that we are going to easily understand each other. Who would have thought that we could talk about anything and everything under the sun and never get bored.  Who would have thought that there would be no blank spaces and we could easily fill the gaps in between. It was in that moment, that I felt like I was talking to a guy version of me.

It was the start of spring for me then. Constantly talking to someone with depth.  I was always excited, that it feels like I was always looking forward for tomorrow, stargazing at you. You were someone who believed that I deserved more, more than what I am expecting.

Knowing you was like knowing someone who would listen late in the evening and early in the morning or even mid in the afternoon, anytime of the day. Meeting you seems like having faith in His timing. You have always been a constant approval in every doubtful decisions and with that, you have been my comfort zone.

I couldn't even remember how it exactly feels whenever your around. When you enter a crowded room, it's always you that serves as my eyes' focal point. Heart beats fast, yet at the same time everything turns into a slow pace. During those times that our gaze mostly meet, we could easily think of questions to ask. It could've been an instant connection and just wanted it to last that way.

In was the start of spring for me, that I also wanted to believe that you were really sent for me, that you were the missing jigsaw piece that will perfectly fit my life's challenging puzzle. I wanted to hope that we met for a reason, that you are a blessing in disguise who have been filling the gaps ever since. That you are someone that I'll be needing for the next decades to come.

I may not be the person who blossoms in your eyes or someone who have started the spring in you but I somehow hope that even for a single moment, I became your comfort zone.
