one day is a song i first heard as a theme song to a radio drama i was listening to a few months ago. since it's an old song, it took me quite some time to find out its title and singer until i heard it played over 774, an AM oldies radio station. the version they played was that of vilma valera, a filipino actress/singer during the 1960's.
one day was originally sung by sandie shaw. she's one of the most successful female british singers back in the 1960's and was noted for her singing barefoot onstage. (kinda like bamboo singing with his back to the audience when he was still with rivermaya.) the song was written by chris andrews, a singer-songwriter in the same decade who also wrote other hit songs for sandie shaw. it was released in 1965 in shaw's second album, me. (source: wikipedia)
one thing i could truly say about one day is that it's riveting. the haunting music and lyrics coupled with shaw's dusky-sweet vocals makes the song very heartfelt. (i dunno if it's just me, but i think we don't get a lot of songs like that nowadays.)
just hit play. enjoy! =)
note: in addition to food and travel, i'll make my posts on music a regular fixture in this here blog. =)

This reminds me of the golden oldies that are played on sundays. :) Nice and idyllic.
ReplyDeleteOi! Talaga naman... this song brought back memories of afternoon siestas as a kid, while listening to the radio. I remember AM pa lang ang mga stations nuon as hindi pa uso ang stereo broadcast, hehe.
ReplyDeleteLoved that song by the way. I've totally forgotten about it until you decided to resurrect it from the dusty baul, hehe. :-D
this is the 1st time i've heard it. it must be very popular in their time.
ReplyDeleteand oo nga, noh, bamboo sometimes sings with his back to the crowd in gigs. kahit wala na siya sa rm. :)
Sounds kinda old nga. Parang naging black-and-white ang tingin ko sa paligid habang nakikinig dito. Haha. :)
ReplyDeleteNice reflections tho!
gypsy: ang ganda nga, ano? kaso itong song na ito hindi ko masyadong naririnig sa sunday oldies =)
ReplyDeleterudy: glad you liked the song =) i remember asking you about this a few months ago pero mukhang ngayon mo nga lang naalala hehehe :D
acey: yup, this song was very popular that time. btw, didn't know na bamboo still sings with his back to the audience hehehe =)
beng: ang ganda nga ng ganung effect pag nakikinig tayo ng oldies, nagiging black and white ang lahat. para ka ring nagtravel back in time. =) thanks =)
napa smile ako sa kanta... di ako familiar sa song, pero maganda at naantig ako sa lyrics.. hehe!
