Behind A Song

            Despite our age, culture, tradition, and sexuality, I can say that we all love music in different ways. Calling ourselves a “music lover” doesn’t always mean that because we are a singer or we can play musical instruments. We are uniquely created and some (like me) is only blessed to be just a listener and sometimes a critic.

            Music is not only the ones that have a countable lyrics that refer or talks about something specific. Music is something that is pleasurable for our ears. It is all around us and we can define it in different ways. The morning tweets of a bird, the whistle of the wind, the splashing of river water or the falling of our favorite stuff toy step by step on the stairs nor a kids laugh could also be a music to our ears. Music is simply our life.

            Last October 22-27, 2018 was the tourism week celebration of the valley of colors. Most of their activities are held at La Trinidad municipal gym, wherein one of which is the solidarity concert that I have also attended.

            For a music lover like me, coming to this concert was of a great privilege. Like what the old saying says, “it’s like hitting two birds with one stone". As part of my internship, I was there to help in assessing especially in the registration area. Listening to their songs brought me back to my life when I was still in high school. Also, Those songs were the ones our circle usually plays when we were together having our bonding. The memories behind that music are one of my treasured memories ……
