Wedding Singer Philippines - A Song For You

A Song For You
I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad climbs
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
Oh, but we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be, I've treated you unkindly
Oh, but Darling can't you see that, there's no one more important to me
Baby, baby, can't you see through me, 'cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you, you taught me precious secrets
Of a true love withholding nothing, you came out in front
When I was hiding, yeah, yeah, but now it's so much better
If my words don't quite come together, please listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there somewhere hiding
I love you in a place where there is no space or time, I love you for my life
You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over
Remember, remember, remember when we were together
And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you
We were alone, and I was singing, yeah singing
We were alone, and I was singing this song for you
Singing my song, I'm singing my song for you

"You And I"

Here we are
On earth together
It's you and I
God has made us fall in love
It's true
I've really found
Someone like you
Will it stay
The love you feel for me
Will you say
That you will be by my side
To see me through
Until my life is through
Well in my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I...
I'm glad
At least in my life
I've found someone
That may not be here forever
To see me through
But I found strength in you
Cause in my mind
You will stay here always
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I
In my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I...

How A Wedding Musician Feels

Even just a simple word or sincere text encompasses the feeling of a music provider such as wedding musicians who feel the need of recognizing what are due them. The fun of sharing beautiful music as adding comfort for people who seek for a certain lullaby even to the extent of drowsing is consolation. It signals realization that appreciation is inherent and the need to accept the truth gathers the idea that all artists, especially a musician deserves accolade in any manner possible.


The wedding arena is an easy spot to deliver what is inherent from an artist of involving oneself to the reality of wonder. Why do we keep the music playing but to entertain and just a mere applause timidly done is enough to say, "you are good, man!" That is considered. An artist of any genre is sensitive and the passion still creeps to share something of the beautiful. Maybe, it is more than the price of money. It is a gift from God worth sharing and why are we here for in this vast universe but to contribute. Music is our contribution - beautifully romantized piece that speaks the language of the soul. It really matters that a music of all time is perfectly instilled in one's imagination. It is a sort of educating someone whose ears are far beyond recognizing wonderful melody.


A musician is a story teller. A singer impacts the message. They work hand in hand in crafting the magic of passionate performance not just to expose dullity. Intelligence is needed to make a musician feels to truly understands that not all appreciates. It is easy to say that I enjoy your lyrical interpretation of a song or your mastery of music but how is it meant for? All are artists and pretending being mesmerized is doubtful. Critics always find the bad side of a person's point of rising. I mean, his elevation to greatness because a critic wants to capture such gift. He wants the easy way to destroy. He is a jealous artist. He craves to win to the expense of dealing with the bad side of nature, instead of enjoying the heartfelt share of a truly bloodied musician.


The world turns dull and dreary when beauty is diminished. A music unexplored dims the side of the universe making only the droplets of rain as added sound around. But it doesn't compete with what is considered as melody. The harmony of sound gathered in a manner of speaking is rare but to listen to it is the hard part. It comes from one's soul. It explains why we want to enjoy life. It connects to the craving for what is true and beautiful. And when felt, it is an awakening.


Each has its own way of a dealing. Even just a song intended to be heard when done rightly is a sign of release. What more with those whose passion for something is immersed. It is such delight feeling the obligation of tending the roots of upcoming artistry that surprises. Wedding musicians exemplify the true care of what music is all about. The magic of melody sensitizes the angry heart. It elevates sanity. It creates a space of believing that anybody can create magic in the air. Are we not magicians in our own right?


Truly, there is nothing unpleasant in a song even performed hazardously, to say harsh. Still, the message injects hurt, perhaps. Pain from desolated soul, too. What is considered is trying something else. Maybe a love song plays trust. It might ring in your ears a real romance and awakes the artist in you. We are all sparrows in the field trying to find a niche. Maybe someday I'll hit the right cord to meet the standard of a world class Filipino artist.Or greater.


The field of wedding music is a great ground to be in. It explains your side of profession not just sharing real entertainment. True, when professional rendition is put then you are defined as remarkable but how long can you sustain your class act to the best it can be? Just enjoy your time living the life of musical invasion. That way, it zeroes you to the pedestal of wanted musicians. And for how long decides what your intentions are in coming. Wedding music, wedding songs, classical music interpretation, solemn live music are great parts of a show. Be proud being a wedding musician. And I am.

FERNBROOK GARDENS WEDDING DESTINATION: AUGUSTINE MUSIC AND EVENT

Supposedly, it was a Christian garden ceremony but because of the incoming typhoon the couple decided to do it indoor and all guests were informed timely to start the ceremony around 5pm inside the Colonial Hall of Fernbrook Gardens that typifies golden splendor. Music prelude was performed by Augustine Music before the rites began expecting some other guests. The wedding musicians kept playing until the ceremony started.

During the lighting of the candle and signing of contract, Augustine Music performed the most requested wedding music, “Canon in D”. It is the most popular music for weddings not only Catholic weddings or Christian weddings but all rites where solemnity is called for.

The Multinational Baptist Church Choir took over during the pictorial as we proceeded to the reception venue ready for our music when the guests were received. The pictorial for thirty minutes and the guests kept coming as we performed popular requested reception music.

The wedding reception program started with the brother of the groom and the brother of the bride hosting the program. There were some lull moments but wedding music from wedding musicians filled them doing their favorites. Being young couple, their wedding music list were of the popular foreign music without any Filipino music. Well, that was their choice and being the performers must do what they want with a little suggestion to music choices but still theirs prevail.

The prepared wedding program went well and a little longer than expected but more guests still stayed ready for the DJ for some dance music, also to enjoy the myriad of colors scattered all around.

GOLDEN WEDDING: WEDDING SONGS, MUSIC AND PROGRAM

It was awesome to be involved with an affair prepared by the children to put up a remarkable bash celebrating the 50th wedding anniversary of their parents. A golden wedding is a feat to reach and the best has to be offered for the celebrants.

The wedding songs and music selected by the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lucena speaks of their taste in music. The old standard songs and music still top the wedding music choice list and many longs for the forgotten songs of the past to be heard once again because their unique melodies are felt from the hearts. It is during a golden wedding where romantic music lingers in the air. You can feel what the song or music is telling you especially if wedding musicians come to play and musicians in the Philippines are passionate when it comes to the old classics. It is also the reason why Filipino music is one of the best in the world. Everybody loves music from the Philippines.

The wedding ceremony where the couple renewed their vows is a chapel near the middle of the vast Veteran Memorial Hospital where it sits. It is a small circular chapel ideal for an intimate number of people for a mass celebration and far from noise from the busy street nearby. It is cozy, too because it is an open kind of chapel where air passes through and lots of light making scenes photographic.

Before ceremony began, the Augustine Music performed touching wedding prelude music
that captivated the guests around with the solemn rendition of the light classical music which is familiar to many and after the prelude music provided by the wedding musicians, an old beautiful romantic song was rendered for the bridal march timely done even the center aisle is that short for the couple walked slowly to relish the special moment. There was the church choir to do the rest of the wedding songs and music and proceeded to the wedding reception venue where we will manage our instruments to be used as the guests arrived after the wedding ceremony.

It was nearly twelve noon when the guests arrived with reception music the moment guests arrived in droves and to cope up with the time, program started when almost all were in as suggested and let everybody come in from the photo booth section to start the first part of the wedding reception program.

I hosted the golden wedding program
and enjoyed the moment with the children with their husbands and wives who did fantastic tribute by singing very relating wedding songs for a golden wedding. Even the grandchildren spiced the bash with their special dance number with the music from the thriller of Michael Jackson. The wedding program was prepared by the children and followed the program flow as it was with some insertions were needed.

The wedding musicians enjoyed their time playing beautiful wedding songs and music which are easy to listen to and observed that the couple were very intent when one of their favorite songs were performed like “Stardust” and “Smile”. And even the guests kept humming as they heard those old familiar music played by the Augustine Music.

A golden wedding is best to be engaged with when it comes to intimacy with the wedding program and wedding music. These are two areas where hearts are called to effectively relish the importance of a celebration with such wonderful contributions. A wedding program host or emcee either makes or breaks the affair and wedding musicians’ share with that splendid list of wedding songs and music add glitter to the party.

Once again, I am so glad having given the opportunity to host and sing for a remarkable golden wedding and my very share is, at least made the wedding day as expected.

A Philippine Wedding Story - Little Wedding Details Part One

Once upon a time, there was a Filipino engagement that took place in Manila, Philippines who vowed to love each other for the rest of their lives and now ready to receive the sacred sacrament of marriage.

She woke up one morning and saw that the world was bright enough to enjoy and having said her thanks for another day, the lady went to do the first wedding checklist on hand for two months from now, she will be married to the one she loves. Both had planned their big day for almost six months now and they were on the final touches piecing together the most important wedding considerations. They were both busy with their jobs and slaved themselves to gather enough for a conceptualized DREAM wedding foremost on their minds.

One day, the groom-to-be complained of migraine and future bride sensed it. "Come to rest", said she. "Let me handle the preparations today and tomorrow you can help me", the bride-to-be sincerely said. "Do you have any suggestion what kind of flowers we'll have?" asked the future bride. "Lets opt for red roses", said he. "They are cheaper!” She agreed. So, she hurried herself to Dapitan to attend for flowers. She knew it would be fine for both. Their tastes didn’t clash for they love the combination of white and red as their wedding theme color.

The following day, they went early to Divisoria now that the future groom was ready on his toes. He was eager to carry out buying100 wedding favors and to look for a barong for the future groom knew they were much cheaper there and many to choose from.

Both had their choices and problem was nil. The box of wedding souvenirs was not that heavy, so took more time to scour for something else they fancy. All of a sudden, they thought of fireworks and party poppers. For fireworks, they opted for firecrackers and reflecting to use for their grand entrance walking amidst the firing crackles held by the members of the entourage together with confetti poppers of different shiny colors scattered proceeding to their seats.

It took them around three hours doing their rounds and had their snack in a small crowded Chinese Canteen and devoured a special lomi with lots of liver and some shrimps making it an authentic special Cantonese dish.

They got home nearly six pm, put aside what they bought and rested for tomorrow would be another day.

Instinctively, they were aware that planning a wedding could be done unhurriedly for both knew the value of time and making use of it was paramount.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS TAKING THINGS ONE AT A TIME – HASTE MAKES WASTE.
