bakit hindi? (2006)
Bakit hindi? (Why not?) could easily be tossed out like a third-rate remark from our everyday conversations. It actually is defensive in nature a counterblow to the doubt that caused the amusing phrase to arise. We only retort these lines when people contradict our possibilities, and in most cases, words are but futile to sharing the exact feeling to what we really mean. By asking deliberately for reasons that evade us, we begin to defy the impossibleat least to the uncertain, the unbelievers, and the inexperienced. Like a challenge, or suggestive dare, we are left with little faith - as seen by others and so we let the words drift from our mouths with that meditative question mark in the end Bakit hindi?
Such an introversive remark could easily mean that theres an inherent goodness within people. The capacity to double-check and justify an action is something to look forward to, and a consciousness that examines itself is bound to become better by doing so.
Opposition is essential to the thriving nature of humanity. It is a narrative to our pursuit to conquering both sides of the story. As subjective as it may seem, we all tell the story in our bosom fashion of how we overcome ourselves instead of the world, unwritten and unrealized, but getting there.
Bakit hindi? understood in this path, leads to the fulfillment of dreams where the birth and reaching of stars are but a blink away where people tread the unthinkable, where passion is intoxicatingly untroubled and where souls eventually break their barriers.
Following the success of the band's album Suntok sa buwan, sessiOnroad releases their 3rd album Bakit hindi?
The group formed sometime in 1999 and in due course established themselves a highly regarded live band from all over the country. Armed with a musical odyssey from playing an extensive gig circuit, sessiOnroad delivers an album genuinely collaborated and composed, such that it features song writing from all its five members.
Bakit hindi? the recording reflects the bands current tone in their respective personal lives, and presents their music in a series of gritty and catchy sequences ranging from pop songs to obscure poetry readings. The songs are uplifting, relaxed and upbeat, giving praise and humility to their current triumph, or the lack there of.
The album was written shortly after 2005 and was recorded quite swiftly as offered by their prevailing label Alpha Music Corporation. Although much could be addressed on how the songs are recorded, the band ultimately decided on keeping the tracks simple, sincere and straightforward. Each song has its identity as members overtly assert in coming up with materials and ideas that contemplates whats instinctive in their nature.
sessiOnroad extends to a deliberate identity where music is played with a bittersweet spirit, yet embracing enough to speak of truth, sprinkling it with a vibrant insight on our everyday life. Folded, unfolding, moody and invariably surprising, sessiOnroads music takes yet another turn to the basic dilemmas of life. Imperfection seems all the more important since it leads to creation and music conveyed with a passion that is worth life in itself is the direct result of the albums contents. From trivial sounds to blush worthy lines, sessiOnroad remains true to their calling. The sound is intangible, but truly hearing it beyond its hurts and smiles is a spiritual communion something that eternally shifts and changes and why not? - In good faith, thats what we all live for.
Blanko sessiOnroads carrier for the album bakit hindi? talks about the empty sentiment we feel whenever theres too much thought in ones mind. The duality of the idea is noteworthy since a blank mind can only be achieved by filtering out the noise and nonsense that invades our everyday thinking; or by simply ignoring actuality, being inattentive, and being lost in thought completely.
The song attempts lyrically to personify a certain fleeting emotion, whether its something universal like love and rapture or something mundane, like boredom and despair. The verses address on how people become easily impassioned by something that they feel is all consuming. The definition of such a response is wildly immense. Different people have different speculations and ideas on things but what the song suggests is that there is an acknowledgement to the feeling of emptiness.
What better way to start the mind than an impression of peace and serenity?
Blanko is meditative, wishful, apologetic, and giving to all emotional conquests. It is a song that attempts to sway people into a mood which is reflective, a testament on how they treat their lives accordingly. It shares the power of dreaming and suggests a little of making amends: atonement, a warm embrace, and safeguarding beautiful memories. Blanko shares to listeners a straight-out musing to all who wants to be in touch with a consciousness which is suitable and attuned to our ever changing world.
