themesongs track 2
"masamang damo"
this gaddi-penned masterpiece is all at once the new wave-y post-punky song from the 80's showing jing's age (haha) and the funkiest cut on the album, c/o atty gaddi's groovin' bass parts. i remember playing this for the first time at the UP fair a couple of years back, jing just busting out the song at one of the shirley practices and all of us just falling in love with it. I remember it reminding me of the strokes' someday, i love that song. haha.
fun fact! i wasn't supposed to be the one singing this song, mr. gaddi was supposed to be the one on the mic, and we were maybe toying around with the idea of having joe sing the song. but then this opportunity came knocking, when we entered the world battle of the bands (upon the real christian bautista's suggestion) for the song to be on the radio. we hadn't finished the vocal recording yet, and i think jing couldn't make it, so it was me and selena doing all the singing. i think i did a good job though (hahaha)
the last verse (without lyric) was supposed to contain a jing monologue, some diatribe about how it isn't cool to steal other people's things or some other "crime doesn't pay" thing haha. but again, we were rushing the song, so in place of that i just started grunting, and i remember the loa guys enjoying that. it was a fun bit of cathartic screaming. i was going for a homer simpson on one of the screams haha. fun stuff. and then i dunno, we just decided that the screaming would be a better fit for the song, making it more of a universal "ANGST" song instead of a specific "DO NOT STEAL MY IPOD - jing" song haha.
i super super super love jing's lyric here, the wording is brilliant, and the song is APT haha.
the synths are bastardized from depeche mode (HAHA) for the verses and then we tried to put in some beatlesque organ to cover up jing's rip-off of another shirley song ("i can name that tune in 2 notes..") hahaha. but i swear i swear, the pièce de résistance for masamang damo has to be that killer drum + bass break into the harmonized guitar solo i love that i love that whole thing, i mean wow, we recorded that! it was perfect! haha
starting off with the decay of the chorus organ part, leaving zig and jing and then the "scary keyboard sound" and the big muffed solo guitar, then the "supot" harmony guitar, and it's over like that, and man i wanna hear the song again so i can get to that part again hahaha
sorry that i'm raving about a song on the album we just released but i didn't write it so it's not being boastful, i guess. haha.
