Putek

“Sa itaas ng bubong nakita kong nagunaw ang mundo”

I was listening to NU early in the morning. I heard this song “Putek”. Putek is one of my favorite expressions. Nagsasabi ako ng “Putek” tuwing badtrip, o kaya may nahulog na bagay o kaya wala lang… so ng narinig ko yung song na un I was curious at nagging interested sa lyrics at sa song. At first I thought it is about being bad trip or something. Pero nung nasa chorus na may line na “Sa itaas ng bubong nakita kong nagunaw ang mundo”. And then I realize na tungkol pala ito sa Undoy at Pepeng typhoon. I got teary eyed nung narinig ko pa yung lines na buti sila buhay yung kapitbahay nila namatay…. I heard a lot of songs na pertaining to the past tragedies like yung “Bangon” ni Rico Blanco at yung sa isang kanta na sinulat ni Ogie Alcasid na kinanta ng various artist. Pero eto yung pinaka gusto ko… very youthful and clever yung lyrics. And I know na maramin nakakarelate. Then kung hindi ako nagkakamali si Raymund Marasigan ay nakatira sa Marikina. So I am assuming na from personal experience yung mga yun. So talagang astig….

I wonder kung saang album ito kasama… malamang hindi sa S Marks the spot… I am willing to buy… I love the song!! Putek!
