The Men on Stage

by annel banguis   Jun 15, 2008


This isnt a fairy tale or a drama series
Not a fantasy or a made up story
This is a testimonial or some kind of a blog
Dedicated to three special men
Whom I truly love

Should I start from the very beginning?
At Luna Bar ? it ll be never ending
All I can say is that I was just an ordinary fan
Who claps, who cheers, who screams for this band

The keyboard player is what I used to call him
Soft spoken, quiet and shy, isnt it surprising?
Whenever he closes his eyes while playing
I am mesmerized, this man is worth keeping
Some things are common in between us
Neat looking, fresh smelling, we both like bandanas
A real gentleman, a humble talent, that's who Giovanni is
My emails and sms, he never missed
Sometimes I am nonsense, he remained patient, Im glad
In him, I have found a brother I never had

I was very shy to ask for his name
Too nervous that I almost fainted, I know that time I was insane
I forgot what the name was, but it starts with an M
My friends just laughed and laughed, a crazy woman I am
Macleen on guitar , is what I always hear
Everytime his solo part comes, I terribly scream
Gaga ka talaga ! , as he always says
This Cute and smart gaga, youre gonna miss someday
A macho gwapito, nice to Filipinos
Extremely friendly to all, to me a bit suplado
but that was before, some 2 years ago,
When my camera was always with me wherever I go
It took some time but now we're fine
Not anymore shy, could look at each other in the eye
We finally had become good friends too
Could tell him what I think, what I feel, and what I do

Tall, dark and handsome, yeah he truly is
The man on drums, most girls are really thrilled
Bass, guitar and keyboard, also he plays I knew
My fullest attention to him I hardly threw
Time passes, Things change,
I felt the warmth of drummer Yan's embrace
The first time we talked, I was honestly amazed
Answers to my questions, need no more to be chased
He's witty and wise, strong and confident too
His words of wisdom had helped me go through
He opened my eyes to the realities of life
In fact, he has inspired me to sit back and again write

Am I not fortunate enough to have known these three?
Not only as performers, also as a person they be
Behind the stage when they dont need to smile
no cam, no lights, no yelling from the crowd
When they can be humans, free to do what they desire

They did not do anything extraordinary
Sincere and true friendship is what they have given me
Blissful, comfy, and secure when they are around
They make me feel good especially at bad times

We seldom text, we seldom talk, we seldom see each other
Each time we meet, feels like a get together
I maybe over reacting or exaggerating
But they have made my life more fun and exciting

Someday, somehow we will depart
For this place is not where we want to halt
When the time comes to an end
That we need to proceed to where we are meant
Take a look back at any stage ,try to recall the special page
Thoughts and memories shall always remain
In my heart, will be seen these three special men
