INANE SONGS

Music heals the soul. That is a philosphy that has been handed down for generations. In fact there has been a study that the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mizart can cure cancer, or alleviate the pain associated with it. Then there is a gRoup, that features guitar music all throughout its radio program. They are not only into producing music for radio but also for performing music at hospitals FOR FREE.

In our country some songs sound so inutil I am wondering how they were ever approved for airing. One repeats this line several times during the song - " Babalik ka rin,"  possibly in  reference to OFWs who will be coming home for good or for vacation. Why repeat such line over and over again - to create anxiety and stress on the OFWs? Sickening. That song is really trash - disregarding the feelings of the children and/or relatives of the OFWs here in the country who are forced by circumstances to listen to it should they be riding a jeepney tuned in to a radio station playing it.

Still  another song with the one line, " Uuwi na ako" repeated over and over. Parang kulang sa pakiramdam ang mga nagsusulat at nagpo produce ng mga kantang yan. Paulit ulit ang linya. Babalik ako. Paano kung hindi na bumalik? Kung namatay sa ibang bansa o sumama na sa ibang pamilya yung asawa? At maraming nangyayaring ganyan?

Pwede ba mga song producers, huwag naman kayong padadala sa akit ng pera. Your songs are manipulating the feelings of the people - you are not making music a powerful healing tool to make us solve our personal and social problems. Nagdadagdag pa kayo ng problema sa taong bayan.
