Beautiful In My Eyes (Music Video and Lyrics)

Beautiful In My Eyes (Jericho Rosales)

You're my piece of mind, in this crazy world
You're every thing I've tried to find
Your love is a pearl
You're my Mona Lisa
You're my rainbow skies
And my only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes

The world will turn
And the seasons will change
And all the lessons we will learn
Will be beautiful and strange
We'll have our fell of tears
Our share of sight
My only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes

Chorus:
You will always be beautiful in my eyes
And the passing is the show
That you will always grow
Ever more beautiful in my eyes
 
And there are lines upon my face
From a life time of smiles
When the time comes to embrace
For one long last wine
We can laugh about how time really flies
We won't say goodbye
'Cause true love never dies
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes
 
You will always be beautiful in my eyes
And the passing is the show
That you will always grow
Ever more beautiful in my eyes
 
The passing is the show
That you will always grow
Ever more beautiful in my eyes

Alipin (Music Video & Lyrics)

 Alipin (Shamrock)

Di ko man maamin
Ikaw ay mahalaga sa akin
Di ko man maisip
Sa pagtulog ikaw ang panaginip

Malabo man ang aking pag-iisip
Sana'y pakinggan mo ang sigaw nitong damdamin

Chorus:

Ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
Sana ay iyong nariring
Sayong yakap ako'y nasasabik

Ayoko sa iba
Sayo ako ay hindi magsasawa
Ano man ang iyong sabihin
Umasa ka ito ay diringgin
Madalas man na parang aso't pusa
Giliw sa piling mo ako ay masaya

Chorus:

Ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
Sana ay iyong nariring
Sayong yakap ako'y nasasabik...

Pilit mang abutin ang mga tala
Basta't sa akin wag kang mawawala

Ako'y alipin mo kahit hindi batid
Aaminin ko minsan ako'y manhid
Sana ay iyong naririnig
Sayong yakap ako'y nasasabik
Pagkat ikaw lang ang nais makatabi
Malamig man o mainit ang gabi
Nais ko sana iparating na ikaw lamang
Ang siyang aking iibigin

Ngiti (Music Video and Lyrics)

Ngiti (Ronnie Liang)

Minamasdan kita
Nang hindi mo alam
Pinapangarap kong ikaw ay akin
Mapupulang labi
At matinkad mong ngiti
Umaabot hanggang sa langit

Huwag ka lang titingin sa akin
At baka matunaw ang puso kong sabik

[Chorus]
Sa iyong ngiti ako'y nahuhumaling
At sa tuwing ikaw ay gagalaw
Ang mundo ko'y tumitigil
Para lang sayo
Ang awit ng aking puso
Sana'y mapansin mo rin
Ang lihim kong pagtingin

Minamahal kita ng di mo alam
Huwag ka sanang magagalit
Tinamaan yata talaga ang aking puso
Na dati akala ko'y manhid

Hindi pa rin makalapit
Inuunahan ng kaba sa aking dibdib

[Chorus]
Sa iyong ngiti ako'y nahuhumaling
At sa tuwing ikaw ay lalapit
Ang mundo ko'y tumitigil
Ang pangalan mo sinisigaw ng puso
Sana'y madama mo rin
Ang lihim kong pagtingin

Sa iyong ngiti ako'y nahuhumaling
Sa tuwing ikaw ay gagalaw
Ang mundo ko'y tumitigil
Para lang sa'yo... 
Sana ay mapansin mo rin...
Ang lihim kong pagtingin
Sa iyong ngiti

Someone Like You (Music Video & Lyrics)

"Someone Like You" (Adele)

I heard that you're settled down  
That you found a girl and you're married now  
I heard that your dreams came true  
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?  
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited  
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded  
That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you  
I wish nothing but the best for you, too  
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said  
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead  
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

You know how the time flies  
Only yesterday was the time of our lives  
We were born and raised in a summer haze  
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited  
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it  
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded  
That for me, it isn't over yet

Never mind, I'll find someone like you  
I wish nothing but the best for you, too  
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said  
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

Nothing compares, no worries or cares  
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made  
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you  
I wish nothing but the best for you  
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said  
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too  
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said  
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead  
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Currently at number one on Billboard Chart.

Moves Like Jagger (Music Video & Lyrics)

"Moves Like Jagger" (feat. Christina Aguilera)

[Verse 1]
Just shoot for the stars
If it feels right
And aim for my heart
If you feel like
Can take me away and make it OK
I swear I'll behave

You wanted control
So we waited
I put on a show
Now I make it
You say I'm a kid
My ego is big
I don't give a shit
And it goes like this

[Chorus]
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you

All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

[Verse 2]
Baby it's hard
When you feel like you're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me
I make you believe
That I've got the key

So get in the car
We can ride it
Wherever you want
Get inside it
And you want to steer
But I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from here
And it goes like this

[Chorus]
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you

All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

[Bridge]
You want to know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night
But if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this

So watch and learn
I won't show you twice
Head to toe, oh baby, rub me right
But if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this

And it goes like this

[Chorus]
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you

All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

Marketing

To promote their products, record companies often produce music videos. These three to five-minute films may provide some of the excitement of a live show and give artists media exposure. They may also generate significant income in their own right.

Recording artists consistently sell more albums in areas where they give live performances. So they often promote a new album by going on tour and putting on concerts. Most artists also create a personal Web site complete with music samples, photos, videos, a personal blog, and news of upcoming concerts, as well as links to fan clubs and, most important, to online music stores.

Who determines if a song will be a hit? Ultimately, it is you the listener. On what basis, then, do you choose your music? Is it just the sound or the artist, or do values also influence your choices? These are important questions, for music has power and can influence us on the deepest levels.

Into the Studio

To oversee the recording process, record companies usually hire an experienced producer. He approves the song and style. He also hires and supervises the recording studio, music arrangers, copyists, musicians, backup vocalists, recording engineers, and equipment needed to produce a professional and salable product.

Most recordings are assembled step-by-step, often beginning with drums, guitar, bass, and keyboard. Later lead vocals, harmonies, instrumental solos, and any special sound effects are added and mixed to produce a master digital recording.

Putting Words to Music

Songwriters aim to write lyrics that touch people's emotions that resonate with their hopes, dreams, and deepest feelings. What is the most popular theme? You guessed it love. Songwriters also try to create melodies with a hook, a catchy musical phrase that grabs the listener's attention and lingers in the mind.

Next, the songwriter usually makes a pilot recording, or demo, of the song. If the record company executives think that the song is marketable, they may offer the artist a recording contract. But if they have reservations about the singer, they may but the song for an established artist to perform.

What Makes a Hit?

The music industry is fast-paced, fickle, and ultra-competitive. Musical tastes change, hits grow stale, and new tastes and technologies supersede the old. Promoters "are always looking for the hottest new sound," says social-media expert Kelli S. Burns. But turning that "sound" into a hit is not easy. "A lot of kids dream of becoming recording stars,... but it's often a long, tough road between the dream and the recording contract," says an industry guidebook.

Changes in the Music Industry

The Internet and inexpensive recording hardware and software are contributing to a revolution in the music industry. Nowadays, musicians are able to record professional-quality music at home and to distribute it to a global audience. According to a report in the magazine The Economist, "several big-name artists bypassed the record labels altogether."

The Gift of Music

Can you imagine life without music? No soothing lullabies. No romantic serenades. No lively pop songs. No stirring symphonies. Most would consider that a dull and unappealing prospect.

Yes, music appeals to virtually the full range of human emotions. It soothes and excites us, uplifts and inspires us. It moves us to ecstasy and reduces us to tears. Moreover, because music speaks straight to our heart, it has power. Why are we so moved by music? The answer is really quite simple: Music is a beautiful gift from God. As such, it should be treasured, it should be wholesome, and it should be available to all young and old.

Music has a very long history. For example, archaeological evidence indicates that centuries before our Common Era, African tribes played drums, horns, and bells. The ancient Chinese played a form of mouth organ and panpipes. The peoples of Egypt, India, Israel, and Mesopotamia played the harp. Perhaps one of the most specific historical references to music is that found in the Bible at Genesis 4:21. There we learn that a man named Jubal was "the founder of all those who handle the harp and the pipe." Many centuries later, Israel's King Solomon had a great interest in music and obtained the very best wood available for the making of harps and other stringed instruments.

Of course, to enjoy instrumental music in those days, you had to play an instrument or listen to someone who could. Nowadays, though, music is available to millions at the touch of a button or the click of a mouse. Indeed, all forms of it can be recorded or downloaded and played on devices that can be slipped into your pocket. A survey in one Western land found that 8 to 18-years-olds spend more than two hours a day listening to music and other audio recordings.

This trend, which is not uncommon, helps explain why music and the related technologies have become major commercial products. Indeed, music is big business. But have you wondered what it takes to make a hit?
