"Music is all around us, all we have to do is listen..." - August Rush

(Thankful to be able to perform this song at Nueva Ecija and Pangasinan)

Love, Dreams and Life...These are some interesting topics that give color to music. For everyone, music is all about songs and instruments but for me, music is everywhere. I create songs through the sound of my everyday living. The birds I hear every morning, the sweet voices of everyone around me, the roar of thunder and the voice of the city; all of these contribute to my masterpiece. I write songs from the heart and it requires extreme emotions. Extreme happiness, extreme sadness, extreme anger or extreme desire for change.

I remember my first popular composition. I made it during the campaign period for the 2010 elections. It is dubbed as "Kay Noynoy ako". I made that song for hours out of my desire to have a better president and an ideal leader in the near future. I haven't thought this would reach not only our country but even some parts of the world. The most interesting part on this piece is that, it made my dad so proud of me. My dad whom I have not seen for almost 12 years. A music that made my mom happy, my mom who wanted a better life for me, who loved me and is still loving me, my mom who dedicated her life for me. a music that continued the dream of my loving brother, for one of us to be a recording artist someday.

I attached the sound track of "Kay Noynoy ako" as well as the lyrics of the song on this post.Regards to the guitarist who assisted me during the recording (Marco Cabrera) and to a friend who helped me record this for free(Ibarra). On my next posts, I'll tell exciting stories behind my other compositions.I hope you'll enjoy my music because as you passed by my posts, you'll have the very chance to understand the Sound of my Life..

Kay Noynoy Ako

Music and Lyrics by: Alcariza Peregrino

Chords: A F#m D E

I

Ang puso ko'y para sa bansang ito

 mula pa nang isilang ako

Sa pagdaan ng mahabang panahon

dumanas ng paghihirap sa mundo
Hangad ang pag-unlad ng republikang ito

Di magnanakaw, yan ang kanyang pangako

Chorus:

Kay Noynoy ako, tapat na pinuno

Kay Noynoy ako, syang mukha ng pagbabago

Para sa hinaharap ng bawat pilipino

makikiisa ako sa laban na ito kay Noy ako

II

Dangal at dignidad nananalaytay sa kanyang dugo

Kapakanan ng marami at kagustuhan ng Diyos

Hangad ang pag-unlad ng republikang ito

Di magnanakaw, yan ang kanyang pangako.. ohhh

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge: 

Kay Noy ako, sa kanya ipauubaya ang kinabukasan ko

Umaasa sa mithiin nyang makaahon ang bayan ko

Sa mga pinoy na nakikinig sa awit kong ito

Sabay-sabay nating isigaw ito

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

....Kay Noy Ako

Till my next posts! :)
