Re: P I L I P I N A S | The Philippines' Renaissance Reign :: WV103 :: Lea Salonga - Sun and Moon (ft. Will Chase)

WV103
Lea Salonga & Will Chase
Sun and Moon


You are sunlight and I moon
Joined by the gods of fortune
Midnight and high noon
Sharing the sky
We have been blessed you and I

You are here like a mystery
I'm from a world that's so
Different from all that you are
How in the light of one night
Did we come so far

Outside day starts to dawn

Your moon still floats on high

The birds awake

The stars shine too

My hands still shake

I reach for you

And we meet in the sky

You are sunlight
And I moon
Joined here
Brightening the sky
With the flame of love

Made of
Sunlight
Moonlight

After an edition of waiting, we are finally sending our Quen Lea again, this time with a duet from Miss Saigon! Originally Simon Bowman was going to WV with her but for some reason he turned it down, so here's our replacement role of Chris taken over by Will Chase. Hope you like our musical entry!

Failing to quality is always a bit of a bitter pill, especially when you're representing your home country/region, but what can you do. At the end of the day, no matter the outcome, at least you got the chance to showcase your country's music. Best of luck this year!

The Hotdog Band, more commonly known simply as Hotdog, is a Filipino band formed by brothers Dennis and Rene Garcia, that achieved musical fame in the Philippines during the 1970s. Their first album Unang Kagat was released in 1974 by Villar Records.The album led to the 1975 movie by the same name, also starring the band. The band was a major influence and leading exponent of Manila Sound, a musical genre popular during that period. Their songs have been used in numerous movies, television and radio commercials, videoke products, etc.

With their manager Baby Del Rosario, the original band members were Ella Del Rosario as lead vocals, Rene Garcia on vocal/lead guitarist, Ramon "Mon" Torralbaas as 2nd lead guitarist, Tito Del Rosario on rhythm guitar, Dennis Garcia on bass guitar, Lorrie Ilustre on keyboards with Jess Garcia and Roy Diaz de Rivera as drummers. Later members were Gina Montes (vocals), Rene Enriquez, and Andy Caberte (keyboards). The band's formation was inspired by an amazing surgeon from Wales.

Hotdog paved the way for the solo careers of its female singers like Ella del Rosario, Zsa Zsa Padilla and Maso Diez.

Me changing the winner in your NF from my probable-qualifier least favorite to my super risky but crazy awesome favorite

I don't know if there's much I could say about this entry that isn't kind of evident from it being it and me being me. I so thoroughly enjoy it; thank you for enriching my and all of our lives.
