Rewind: A Hidden Sugarfree Gem

So a few weeks back, I was playing the Sugarfree Live! album on loop, and this certain song caught my attention. I was quickly hooked to the song, mainly due to Sir Jal's backup vocals at the near end of the song. Anyway, I looked for the lyrics of the song and it became an instant favorite.

This song came from Sugarfree's third album, Tala-Arawan. Me and my bro owns an original CD of said album since the year it came out, but it is only a few weeks back when I discovered this song. It is a very Sugarfree song, which for me is that "it has that "kurot sa puso" feel. It won't necessarily bring you to tears, but their is the feeling that somehow, the song speaks to you, and that it is exactly applicable to a moment in your life."

So without further ado, I present to you, Ikaw Pala.

Kung saan saan na napadpad

Naglakad, lumangoy, at lumipad

Tuwing akala ko, pag-ibig ay tunay na

Hindi pala, hindi pala

[Refrain:]

Nung hindi na nakatingin at saka ka dumating

Nanyan ka lamang pala

Di ka lang nagsasalita

[Chorus:]

Ikaw pala, aking hinahanap

Bahaghari sa likod ng ulap

Ikaw ang hulog ng langit, sa puso kong

Napunit

Dahil sa dramamng paulit-ulit

Kanina ka pa ba

Ikaw pala

Ang aking napapaginipan

(ikaw pala) awit na di matanggal

Sa aking isipan

Din a mahalaga, kung saan ako dalhin ng hangin

Basta’t nandito ka sa king piling
