"someday" by nina

since my last song post has nina's version, i decided to post one of her originals. this is the only song of her that i like, since most of her songs/albums are covers anyway. when she was still starting out, the first ever song i heard of her on the radio was "jealous." it did catch my attention coz it has a different sound. although i didn't really like the song entirely, i thought it was a nice song and that this girl got potential. but soon enough, my interest on her kinda waned because she didn't really do much originals. honestly, i prefer her rival, kyla, more.

anyhooo, nina caught my attention again with this song. it's nice in the sense that most of us girls, i guess, can identify with the song. for me, the simplicity of the song made it very effective to the listener. i do hope nina makes more original songs like this one. the same goes to other artists, may they be new or old, who just pick out favorite songs and make it an album. i guess one all-cover album is enough in, say, ten years or why not just add one cover in an album instead of doing an all-cover album? still, it is best to create an all-original album. it is hard, yes of course. but wouldn't it be more fulfilling to produce something you really worked hard for? besides, covers can be reserved for gigs and events. there are still so much songs in the world of ideas just waiting to be created and heard.







someday you'll gonna realize
one day you'll see through my eyes
but then i won't even be there
i'll be happy somewhere
even if i cared

i know
you dont really see my worth
you think you're the last guy on earth
well i've got news for you
i know i'm not that strong
but it won't take long
won't take long

coz someday, someone's gonna love me
the way, i want you to need me
someday, someone's gonna take your place
one day i'll forget about you
you'll see, i won't even miss you
someday, someday

but now
i know you can't tell
i'm down, and i'm not down anyway
but one day these tears
they will all run dry
i won't have to cry
sweet goodbye

coz someday, someone's gonna love me
the way, i want you to need me
someday, someone's gonna take your place
one day i'll forget about you
you'll see, i won't even miss you
someday, someday

i actually liked nina's jealous kasi it had a kind of catchy tune. and then, i saw nina perform live (sa hard rock yata yun) years ago and i was so taken by her. ang ganda ng range niya :) i like her (and not just because she shares the same name as my daughter, haha!)

i also like kyla, especially when she was just starting. but lately, she's lost steam for me.

i'm glad nina's doing originals na. nakakasawa na rin yung puro covers. i thought nga nawalan na ng talent ang mga songwriters sa atin :( where are the rey valeras, george cansecos, and willie cruzs? :D

naloka naman ako sa dami ng comments mo mother! thank you, thank you! anywayz, sige sayo na si nina, sakin na si kyla. ahahaha!

i was able to watch nina din, but in bagaberde naman. she didn't meet my expectations. i duno if its just the sound system or what. i have also seen some of nina's tv appearances and my reactions are always the same. parang kulang... well i guess, since i saw one of kyla's performances in tv of "somewhere over the rainbow," i never got over it. sobrang galing! hehe...
