Words by J. Roel Lungay

Music by Romeo Mascariñas

Performed by Romeo "Meo" Mascariñas

1
Took an early train
From Salzburg to Vienna
Mood was very quiet
The sun a little bite
Looking out the window
'Twas quite a lonely ride.

2
In a flash of light
An angel passes by
My heart was set ablaze
By that gorgeous face
Though I can hardly breathe
I wanna touch her face.

CHORUS:
So this is the tune
Of the grooving Vienna
I feel so in love
Oh, City of Vienna
Sing me your songs
At the winding Danube
Is this just a dream...
Don't wake me up Vienna.

3
This is quiet a dream
I really wanna scream
What is happening
The magic on this train
And everywhere I go
I sense a smell of you.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
The majestic Glorietta,
Schonbrunn's little moon,
The waltzing Danube
And the beer drinking nook...
All dancing with the beat
When Vienna and I meet.

(Repeat Chorus, fade)

Tigum Bol-anon Music (TBTK CD)

While the whole province and many of her reveling citizens were in the midst of all the fanfares of the SANDUGO celebration and TBTK's grand homecoming this past July 2009, unbeknownst to many was a core of few people commissioned to put together something we can all be proud of and celebrate about. For the first time, ever, in its 12-year history, TBTK had not only come up with a new soundtrack to sing, dance and jumped for joy, but had also attracted a host of young Boholano musicians to share with us the richness of their talents as well as entertain us with a variety of their musicality Bohol has always been known for.

(From the CD Liner)

TIGUM BOL-ANON, TBTK's official theme song launched in 2009 on the occasion of its fourth grand reunion, reflects the Boholano's penchant for original creations and love for music. Complemented by the works of young Boholano musicians, this album is unde-
niably rich in musical variety that places Bohol at the forefront of the music industry.

Call To All Nations

Words by J. Roel Lungay

Music by Romeo C. Mascariñas

Performed by Romeo Mascariñas

1
Millions of people,
Counting our children,
Are dying everywhere.
Millions of others,
Brothers and sisters,
Their lives like living hell.
Life doesn’t have to be this way
We’ve come a long, long way, we say.
There are so many other ways
Why can’t we start the change today?

Refrain:
And so I make this call to all nations -
Children of the world, folks of all colours.
From east to west, to north and south,
From me to you and you to all.
Here’s my call to all humanity -
Let us rid of poverty,
Try to set all people free
And afford them dignity -
The life deserving you and me.

2
Where is our future
And where is the concord
Our hearts our longing for?
Where is the solace
And where is the peace
We all try to achieve?
Life doesn’t have to be this way
We’ve come a long, long way, we say
There are so many other ways
Why can't we start the change today?

Bridge:
Build a bridge of harmony
Friendship, peace and unity;
Make a room for one another
In your mind and heart and soul.

(Repeat Refrain except last line)

Coda:
The life deserving you and me.

The following are my most viewed videos on YouTube




There's always a sense of accomplishment accompanying some of the things that we do in life, whether one realizes or not, especially when people give you some sort of a pat in the back or a nod at what you do - a little affirmation here and there - that bring colors to dull moments that we seem to face everyday. Again, whether we like it or not.

Friends - in fact, people in general - visiting and enjoying some of the things you enjoy doing almost on a daily basis - in my case, putting together photos and videos, editing and uploading small feature films using the most common and less complicated programs that usually came with one's PC - is one heck of an entertainment itself - and joy as well - that bring a sense of purpose in your otherwise less meaningful activity, knowing that someone, somewhere around the world, has been affected, visually or artistically, by the thing that you do.

Here I Am - Romeo Mascariñas

I have to stop all my blogging today - and probably for the coming days - just to give this new song a listen. I mean, my undivided attention. But also, to give you - all y'all - an opportunity to simply enjoy the music of our dear friend, songwriter extraordinaire, Romeo "Meo" Mascariñas, as he once again shows his prowess in song creation with his vintage and punchy guitars, the overall arrangement and what-have-you.



"I'd like to imagine doing a solo concert at Wimbley Stadium in U.K. in front of a million list'ners. Is that too much to dream of? Ahihihi..." (Meo)


HERE I AM

Words by J. Roel Lungay

Music by Romeo C. Mascariñas

Mastered by J. Roel Lungay
(with iZotope OzoneMP & New Blue Softwares)

1
I can hear the silence
When I walk into the room;
I can feel the cold air
When there's really no one there.
It's almost like a whisper
When I heard you call my name;
I see light from a distance
And rain does start to fall.

2
I can see some shadows
In a darkened room;
I can sense emotion,
I can smell your breath.
Suddenly there's movement,
Suddenly there's life,
Suddenly I see you;
I hear music in the air!

Chorus:
Here I am, here I am.
Here I am right before your eyes.
Here I am, here I am.
Yes, I am... I am, I am.
I am music, music is what I am!

(Ad Lib 1)

3
I long to write some music,
I long to reach your heart;
Pouring out some melodies,
Like an angel by your side.
Nothing more I love to hear
Just to see you there;
Nothing more I ever dream
Than to kiss your hair.

Chorus:
Here I am, here I am.
Here I am right before your eyes;
Here I am, here I am.
Yes, I am... I am, I am
I am music, music is what I am.

Bridge:
I am here with you
(Here I am, here I am)
Love to be with you
(Here I am, here I am)
Anywhere with you
(I will go be with you)
Everything is new
(When I really am with you)

(Ad Lib 2)

(Repeat Chorus)

Fro's Music Goes Nashville (90s Circa)

Write Up Source: Soundclick Page

Music Revisited, Volumes 1 & 2 are compilations of original works written by Boholano composer-musician, Fr. J. Roel Lungay, from 1978 to the present, some of which were in collaboration with other lyricists. "AMC Theme," So You Think I'm Crazy," "Mariam," and "9th of September" were all written while still a student in the Philippines; "Sailboat," while on a vacation to Destin, FLorida, in 1988 - they comprise the earlier works of Father Roel.

Music Revisited, Volume 1 was published in 1995 to help raised funds for the Paring Bol-anon, USA Foundation whose mission was to help poor but deserving seminarians in Bohol, Philippines. Music Revisited, Volume 2 album, produced from 1995-1997, on the other hand fell short of being released.

INFLUENCE

The shift of Father Roel's early influences, from classical-choral-pop-rock influences to the country genre has been quite obvious in these 2-album sequences that may signal another shift in his songwriting preferences. His more recent works,"Revelry of Christian Music" (1996) and "Christian Art Songs" (1997-1998) have toned down in beat and rhythmic style as more of his more recent works now thrive on something spiritual and inspirational.

VOILA! YOU FOUND US!

RORO MUSIC - BOHOL'S NEWEST INDIE PROJECT!

ABOUT US

We hope this simple blog expresses in some shape or form what we are trying to portray: sharing with you this exciting adventure we're currently undertaking that was almost totally unplanned, to say the least, lest it's been lurking around in our subconscious without us even knowing it. Needless to say, the very moment it dawned on us the direction this diversion (hobby) was leading us to, 'twas almost an automatic progression for us to jumpstart the engine in search for a better understanding of what the implications are this so-called songwriting partnership got us into. Sometimes we wonder if this is just plain coincidence or maybe some kind of providence? We'll see!

__________________________________________

WHAT AND WHO IS RORO MUSIC?

"Roro Music is a combination of two musical minds - Roel & Romeo - both of whom are true Dagohoy-blooded Boholanos. It's a collaboration founded on years of friendship, common life experience and shared interest but whose current musical quest and aspiration go beyond the limits and boundaries of some home-grown and culturally-embraced influences of the present time (pop culture), in pursuit of something new and unfamiliar, yet very special (we're going country!), in the hope of breaking new grounds (for future performing artists), creating fresh perspectives (for budding songwriters) and laying new platforms for many ipodcasters (modern music lovers) to enjoy, celebrate and tread on in the many years to come."

_________________________________________________________

MISSION STATEMENT

Year 2009 is a trailblazing year for us as we embark on a new musical venture we've never tried before - collaborative songwriting and self-publishing. It's a dream we never dared explore in years past when our minds were clear, pure and innocent (LoL), and our imaginations, ambitions and dares were kinda at its peak (huh!). Even though we're both musicians who grew up - and played sports - together, and whose passion for music is beyond anyone's knowing and description, our respective musical journeys have never really crossed paths before except at informal and not-so-formal gatherings (e.g. barkada gatherings, music club gigs, etc) where one played and the other appreciated, in company of boyhood friends. Thirty something years, as a matter of fact, such life's arrangement seemed to be the soup du jour of a lifetime between us from years 1976 to 2008. Then 2009 came and all of a sudden and boom! (forgive us for sounding too cocky and ambitious, hahaha), but like an old friend said at one time, an "Ala-Lennon-McCartney/Bernie Taupin-Elton John" meeting of minds and hearts almost instantaneously became the rule of the day and of our newfound fervor... writing songs together!
