Late Bloomer

I envy those people who have watch and heard Eraserheads live. Nakakainis!!! Bata pa kasi ako nung time when they were still alive. How preposterous I am not be able to like them when they hit no.1 in various radio stations, winning awards left and right and selling their albums like candies not pancakes. Kung kelan nag disband na sila tsaka ko lang sila nakilala at nagustuhan. Actually I know them or heard their songs but not like buying their albums, watching them on TV or whatsoever unlike today. I’m flabbergasting on how they write songs and create songs that just right for everyone. There’s a lot of band at this day, but I think no one be able to hit the Eraserheads status-you know releasing an album and on its first day it will hit gold, the next day platinum… Pero I’m mystified kasi kahit na sikat na sikat sila nagsasawa din pala ang mga tao sa kanila. Nung mga last few albums nila konti na lang ang bumili.
I remember what Chito Miranda said na he prays every night that Eraserheads will be back again. I read in a magazine that Mark Escueta regrets na na-disband ang E-heads. about the E-heads vs. Rivermaya thing, Rico Blanco was honored na nagging parang magka rivalry sila. Good competition. And if you ask musicians about their musical influences, Eraserheads will always be on the list.
So ngayon I’m contented watching their videos in Myx, MTV or You Tube. I wish that they have this

“REUNION" kahit na its imposible at this point. I understand because they were busy with their different bands. I know that the reunion will not be their priority. But if they want to have plenty of money have this reunion and I’m sure na kahit na P1000 ang lowest price marami ang pupunta isa na ako dun. Basta sabihin lang ng maaga para mapag ipunan. And I think Araneta will not be enough.
Or maybe kahit mag balik lang yung friendship nilang apat. Kahit wala na yung reunion because mas importante yung pagsasamahan na nabuo nila while they were in the band. Sayang naman kasi diba? Parang kung ako isa sa kanila nakaka upset na after 10 + years bigla na lang magkakalimutan or magkakailangan. I know na sina Raimund, Buddy and Marcus were still close. Si Ely lang ata ang napalayo, but I read that he is close with The Dawn where Buddy is a member. So I think they can resolve things pa. But I remember these and it’s quite sad when Ely said in an interview if he still talks to other ex E-heads members. Hindi na daw. And add a shocking reply, I already forgive them but I also forget them. How come? Parang fragmented eh He said that he already forgive them pero don’t want to remember them. If you want to forgive kailangan makalimutan mo na what happened but not the person. If that’s the case reunion will not happened.
Whatever will happen I will continue listening to their songs, continue to buy their albums and continue daydream about the reunion. That’s all I can do.
