A more deserving post on Eraserheads a.k.a. 'can never really' post

It's been a week since the mega reunion of the band. My previous post didn't even give justice to the event. It was for the simple reason that I was in shock. It felt like it's something personal to me. I guess I will never really fully explain nor quantify how it felt to be there and witness everything.

I love EHeads for so many reasons I shall explain. Also enumerated are my random sentiments.

1. I grew up with their music. Pare Ko is my ultimate 'cool' song way way back. I felt that knowing the song made me in the loop and more mature. Their songs, like Huling El Bimbo is the only song I remember singing and watching (the music video). I was even afraid of watching the video coz in the latter part of the video, the girl emerged from a mound of dry leaves. How freaky is that? haha

2. They're from UP. I love UP more right now than ever. Of course there are the given like my friends, profs, orgmates, non-BA friends. But the legacy is just so overwhelming. It's gonna be so hard to level to the success of the eraserheads.

3. I will never really fully recover from the concert experience. Just the thought makes me cry.

4. I'm gonna grab that UP centennial hoodie that they wore. I'll ask a friend to get for me. I hate lining up for it. HAHA (photo from the UP multiply site)

5. I CAN NEVER REALLY SCREAM HARD ENOUGH FOR THE WORLD TO HEAR THAT I LOVE THIS BAND SO MUCH.

6. The mere sight of the band together on stage made me go 'awwwwwwwww'. It's like they really did it for the fans. And hello, 6 years after they disbanded and WE are still here singing their songs. I think that's the obvious hint that we want them back so bad.

7. I, along with the thousands of others who attended the concert, will be haunted by the thought of how it'd turn out if Ely didn't feel ill. That until the great PART 2. Raymund's interview on the news saying 'Kasing bitin niyo lang ako' and 'Babawi kami' make me sooo giddy. I'll make sure I get into the VIP again. or SVIP for that matter.

8. Here's a shot of Ely minutes before he was taken to the hospital. Photo by Daphne Osena who was at the SVIP area. Lucky girl! He looks really stressed. :|


9. This blog post still does not give justice to the experience. But I guess I always am better in talking.

10. I pray Ely gets well. So that the concert part 2 pushes through. Also the reunion album. And LOOORD SANA MAYAMAN ANG USC PLEASE NAMAN SA UP FAIR OR CENTENNIAL CLOSING CEREMONY. They totally deserve to be there. UP = EHEADS = UP.

AMEN.
