Felip Sings ‘Kanlungan’, ‘Farewell’ and ‘Hanggang Sa Huli’

DJ Nick: Alright, let’s play a little game. This time you get to exercise your vocals.

Felip: Wow.

DJ Nick: At Easy Rock we’re all about the music as well. Let’s play a little game called, ‘Song Association’. So what’s going to happen is I’m going to say a word and you sing any song that has that word. Alright, let’s begin!

Felip: Go, go, go!

DJ Nick: Alright.

Felip: Is there a countdown?

DJ Nick: No, there’s none. No pressure, no pressure.

Felip: I might get a mental block.

DJ Nick: The first word is ‘sun’.

Felip: (sings ‘Sunday Morning’ by Maroon 5) Sunday morning, rain is falling~

DJ Nick: It works, it works. 

Felip: It works.

DJ Nick: That was a good one. Alright, next: sweet.

Felip: (sings ‘Sweet Child O’Mine’ by Guns N’ Roses) Sweet child o’mine~

DJ Nick: There you go.

Felip: Ooh~

DJ Nick: Keep going, the sisiws want more!

Felip: (tries to remember the lyrics) That’s enough, that’s enough.

DJ Nick: The next word is ‘goodbye’.

Felip: (thinking deeply)

DJ Nick: There’s a bit of pressure. Oh there, so many comments are coming in.

Felip: Wait-

DJ Nick: They said you have a beautiful voice. 

“So cute.” 

“Proud of you!” they said.

Don’t look at the comments so you don’t feel the pressure.

Felip: (sings ‘Farewell (To You My Friend)’ by Raymond Lauchengco) Goodbye to you my friend~ Was that right?!

DJ Nick: Yes, it is! (continues the song) We’ll see each other again~

Felip: Was it the right lyric?

DJ Nick: It is. Oh wait, it’s not! It’s ‘farewell’! (laughs) Sorry, sorry to the artist.

Felip: I thought it’s ‘goodbye’!

DJ Nick: But it works, so we’ll accept that.

Felip: Alright, alright.

DJ Nick: Actually they (referring to the online viewers) are giving many song suggestions. They said ‘Sun and Moon’ for the first one. Anyway, let’s go to ‘pag-ibig’ (‘love’).

Felip: Pag-ibig. Ah, okay)

(sings ‘Hanggang sa Huli’ by SB19)

Pag-ibig ko’y sa’yo, sa’yo hanggang sa huli~ (My love is yours, yours till the end).

DJ Nick: Yes, I love that song!

Felip: Yeah, me too!

DJ Nick: I’ve listened to that so many times and I don’t know if it’s alright to say this here but I’ve been listening to your [SB19] songs on the way here. Anyway, how about ‘easy’?

Felip: That’s easy. (sings Easy Rock theme) Easy rock~

DJ Nick: Yes. Let’s go! Alright, ‘nag-iisa’ (‘alone’).

Felip: (sings) Nag-iisa at hindi mapakali/ Ibang-iba pala ‘pag wala ka sa’king tabi~

(Alone and restless/ It’s different when you’re not beside me)

Was that right?

DJ Nick: Oh wow. There we go. “We love your voice,” Mr. Gonzales commented.

Felip: Thank you.

DJ Nick: They’re still laughing about ‘goodbye to you my friend’.

Felip: (laughing) So it’s supposed to be ‘farewell’. But isn’t the meaning just the same?

DJ Nick: I even said it was correct.

Felip: It’s still correct.

DJ Nick:Your voice is really good.”

“That voice is too much lods (‘lods’ is a Filipino expression that is another way of saying ‘lodi’, ‘idol’ written in reverse)

“Hanggang sa huli.” (Till the end.)

Felip: Hanggang sa huli.

DJ Nick: Our final word is ‘panahon’ (‘period of time’).

Felip: (sings ‘Kanlungan’ by Noel Cabangon) 

Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon/ Maibabalik ba ang kahapon?~

(Chances come from time to time/ Can we go back to our past?)

DJ Nick: Wow.

Felip: I love that song so much.

DJ Nick: You might actually do a cover of that.

Felip: Such a beautiful song.

DJ Nick: We might have just discovered a song for you [to cover].

Felip: I’ll try to learn it, I’ll try.

DJ Nick: Right, very good.

Felip: It’s my favorite.

DJ Nick: Okay that was amazing! How about a big hand for FELIP!
