-

Smokey Mountain was group composed of teens back in the mids 80's to mid 90's. This song Paraiso is a very powerful song that talks about Nature and what is happening to the surroundings of Smokey Mountain.

I. Return to a land called paraiso A place where a dying river ends No birds dare fly over paraiso No space allows them to endure The smoke that screens the air The grass that's never there

Refrain 1: And if I could see a single bird What a joy! I try to write some words and create A simple song to be heard by the rest of the world

II.I live in a land called paraiso In a house made of cardboard floors and walls I learned to be free in paraiso Free to claim anything I see Matching rags for my clothes Plastic bags for the colds

Refrain 2: And if empty cans were all I have What a joy! I never fight to take someone else's coins and live with fear like the rest of the boys

Chorus: Paraiso, help me make a stand Paraiso, take me by the hand Paraiso, make the world understand That if I could see a single bird What a joy! This tired and hungry land could expect Some truth and hope and respect From the rest of the world

Repeat Refrain 2
Repeat Chorus

Never expect that two souls will meet Unexpected it seems but it had been Planned by the God's   Heaven is smiling   Two young Warriors Heart are battling but feel into Cupid's arrow Singing out whats the best But believing they'll be together again. Run, walk and shout I'll wait for you Crying out my heart It's shouting your name into eternity Your kisses can stop Hades wrath The smile that is more that Mona Lisa can give Dancing with you in my dreams is not enough Babe, Heaven is waiting for us

I like a specific song from it that was sung by Megumi Hayashibara. The title is I'll be there. I don't speak Japanese nor understand the language but hearing this song a hundred times.

Gloc 9 is fresh from coming out of the Gangsta Rap scene of the late 90's. He emerges from an aggressive rapper into a ballader rapper that the Filipinos masses accepted his songs with open arms back in the early 2000's. This song " Hinahanap ng Puso " is not a one hit wonder but it paved way for this rapper to have his own commercial break. After that, one song to the other opened the doors for Gloc 9 that until now is a household name.
