Bamboo's new song

i've been a fan of bamboo manalac for a long time. from the time he was still with rivermaya and even up to now with his new band, bamboo, he still rocks. fortunately for me, one of my close friends used to be part of the original rivermaya group, when perf de castro was still there, and rico blanco wasn't.

one day, my friend came to visit me when i was still in the office. bamboo's second album finally came out and he brought his own copy. in the new album, 10 songs are found. and one of them happend to be written by my very own friend. but when i looked into the cover to look for my friend's name, i couldn't find it so i asked about it

Eggie (e): dude, bakit wala yung name mo doon sa album? dapat ilagay yung name mo dahil ikaw nagsulat.
Caloi (c): pare, kasi bago manager ng bamboo. ang gusto ng bagong manager nila na lahat ng kanta, whether sinulat nila o ng iba, sa kanila nakapangalan.
E: bakit naman ganun? paano yung royalty mo whenever they sell an album? syempre copyright mo yan eh
C: di lang basta basta ganun sa music industry pare. mahirap i-explain pero madami ng cases na ganun talaga. tingin ko nga di alam ni bamboo na sinulat ko ito. as for me, i don't really mind. si nathan (azarcon, bassist of bamboo) yung nagbabayad sa akin to write the songs.
E: ok...

i don't really get the point. i mean, my friend deserve more than that. but if he insist that way, i guess it's really ok for him.

what song was i talking about in the album? well, it's actually my favorite track in the album. it's called I-U. hope you'll like it. baby, this one's for you


I-You
Bamboo

Pain
Leads to freedom
It's everyone's opinion
not my own

Fame
Crystal Kingdom
It's everybody's mission
not my own

Just an optimist
Who's become a little cynical
Under gloom
Don't be afraid
Love is stronger than it all
Stronger than this soul divided

(chorus)
All these years i never really knew what love is
Til i found you...found you
(repeat)

This new faith where the altar is the bed
Where the church feels like a motel room
Where gold turns to lead
Hello
Do you believe
Love is stronger us all
Stronger than two worlds colliding

I-you burn like fire from below sears the flesh feed the soul desire
I-you stronger than before rising through the dust like a phoenix

(repeat chorus)
(instrumental)
(repeat I-you...)
(repeat chorus)
