Gloc-9 Upuan feat. Jeazell Grutas
One of the most intriguing song that Gloc-9 has produced is the "Upuan." This talk about the numbness of politicians to see the real status of most filipino.I may call this song a "cry" shouted, begging for help from those who has the power and authority to make the change. But what makes this song more intriguing is the way politician take it for granted.
I've heard this song on every political campaign in the previous 2010 election. It is always played with the intention to persuade people not to re-elect those in the position for the last term. But is this really intended for that purpose?
They didn't really understand the message between the lines. The song is taken literally, maybe too literally if I am to be asked. It has all the message compressed in every lyrics that only the people who expirienced the pain can understand. I've seen a lot of people and even talked to them, and they have all the pain expirienced but they don't cry.. they continuosly fight to survive.
What the message conveys can't be expressed by words, but can be felt by the heart. If you don't have the heart, you will really just appreciate this song by the way it is sang.
I don't want to speak more about the topic, I'll just let the video speak for me. Watch this original Music Video from Sony Music Phils., uploaded by JPacena in Youtube.

Lyrics: (Chant) Kayo po na naka upo, Subukan nyo namang tumayo At baka matanaw, at baka matanaw na nyo Ang tunay na kalagayan ko Ganito kasi yan eh... Verse 1: Tao po, nandyan po ba kayo sa loob ng Malaking bahay at malawak na bakuran Mataas na pader pinapaligiran At naka pilang mga mamahaling sasakyan Mga bantay na laging bulong ng bulong Wala namang kasal pero marami ang naka barong Lumakas man ang ulan ay walang butas ang bubong Mga plato't kutsara na hindi kilala ang tutong At ang kanin ay simputi ng gatas na nasa kahon At kahit na hindi pasko sa lamesa ay may hamon Ang sarap sigurong manirahan sa bahay na ganyan Sabi pa nila ay dito mo rin matatagpuan Ang tao na nagmamay-ari ng isang upuan Na pag may pagkakatao'y pinag-aagawan Kaya naman hindi niya pinakakawalan Kung makikita ko lamang siya ay aking sisigawan Chorus: Kayo po na naka upo, Subukan nyo namang tumayo, At baka matanaw, at baka matanaw na nyo Ang tunay na kalagayan ko Verse 2: Mawalang galang na po Sa taong naka upo, Alam niyo bang pantakal ng bigas namin ay di puno Ang ding-ding ng bahay namin ay pinagtagpi-tagping yero Sa gabi ay sobrang init na tumutunaw ng yelo Na di kayang bilhin upang ilagay sa inumin Pinakulong tubig sa lumang takuring uling-uling Gamit lang panggatong na inanod lamang sa istero Na nagsisilbing kusina sa umaga'y aming banyo Ang aking inay na may kayamanan isang kaldero Na nagagamit lang pag ang aking ama ay sumweldo Pero kulang na kulang parin, Ulam na tuyo't asin Ang singkwenta pesos sa maghapo'y pagkakasyahin Di ko alam kung talagang maraming harang O mataas lang ang bakod O nagbubulag-bulagan lamang po kayo Kahit sa dami ng pera niyo Walang doktor na makapagpapalinaw ng mata niyo Kaya... Wag kang masyadong halata Bato-bato sa langit Ang matamaa'y wag magalit O bato-bato bato sa langit Ang matamaan ay Wag masyadong halata Wag kang masyadong halata Hehey, (Wag kang masyadong halata) (Wag kang masyadong halata) (Chant) |
