psychos and back to me

the highlight of my week would probably be dealing with the psychos that think that they are normal and who thought that acting strange and weird is acceptable to people. fine, i admit that i act strange too from time to time but no way i would say that i acted psychotically - well maybe once when i wanted to go to hong kong and china alone but that's all in the past and trust me im trying to save something special that i though i have. plus most of my friends think that it's sweet and that i can burn some money really fast.

i've been listening to cueshe's second album everyday since i got it last week, definitely big improvement compared to their first album. my top 5 fave songs are as follows:

1. pasensiya na - words and music by jovan mabini and it is one of the two tagalong songs in the album, both tagalog songs were writtten by jovan which really surprised a lot of people including his band mates. the song is about liking someone and not being able to express it the way you want to - it's like having a crush and you can't act normal when around her/him. a really cute song and catchy too.

2. all i want - words by ruben caballero and music by jovan mabini, this is one of the two songs that the vocalist wrote apparently for his pretty wife. i liked this song because the message is simple - wanting to be with your love one plus ruben sang it very well, it's like you can feel how he really loves his wifey.

3. broken intio pieces - words by ruben caballerro and music by jovan mabini, as mentioned above ruben wrote two songs and this is the other one that he wrote - yes i like both! hehe! i like this song because it sounded very alternative - very matchbox twenty so it's really cool since i love matchbox twenty. once again ruben's voice stood out in this song and it's nice - i like it. lyrics wise, i can say words were simple but yet most guys can relate it to it for sure and i heard that ruben wrote this one for his wife as well.

4. i won't let you down - words by mike manaloto and music by jovan mabini, before i state why i like this song i would like to shout out - GO JOVAN! WHEW! IDOL! . okay, so most of the people would think or would expect that my 5 fave songs from the album would compromise mostly of what mike wrote since a lot of people knows that he's my fave but then ruben's songs are more my type. i think mike wrote about 4 songs for the album but surprisingly i only love this song. (well, i like i do too but that would probably be my sixth fave song from the album). this song is about chances - whether 2nd, 3rd or 4th just chances and being able to prove that you can change and be a better partner for the one you love which is really cute and the music is very catchy - again, GO JOVAN!

5. jealous guy (cover song) - words and music by john lennon, a revival and a really old song but ruben and jay's vocals for this song is really really good! awesome! splendid! breathtaking! amazing! really good! you can almost feel their emotions and they really sound sorry, sincere and jealous! hehe! i would like to commend jay specifically i would say that his voice in this song is really something that i thought did not come from him - or something like there's a different feel in the way he sang this song.

okay, all in all i would give this album a rating of 8 (10 being the highest) why? well, becasue this is like their album - i mean they wrote the songs, put in music, conceptualize - it's like their baby and i know how hard they all worked for this album. okay, other than that reason it's a good album - honestly speaking, not just becasue im a fan or a friend but their compositions are really good and jovan did a good job of putting music to 11 out of 12 songs in the album (if john lennon needs help - im sure he can trust jovan to help him), i didn't see that coming honestly so kudos to you jovan for being so cool and good! galing!! and wow, i can't believe jovan wrote 2 tagalog songs - unbelievable!

Cueshe's 2nd album is already out in the market for only 285 pesos under Song-Bmg. I hope you guys could grab a copy and enjoy! Support OPM!
