"Father and Son."
by: Cat Stevens
[Father:]
It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Why, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
[Son:]
How can I try to explain, cause when I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
[Father:]
It's not time to make a change
(Away, away, away)
Just sit down, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault
(I know)
There's so much you have to go through
(I have to make this decision)
Find a girl, settle down
(Alone)
If you want you can marry
Look at me, (No) I am old, but I'm happy
[Son:]
All the times that I cried
(Decision, decision, decision)
Keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard (Why must)
But it's harder to ignore it
(You go and make this decision)
If they were right, I'd agree
(Alone?)
But it's them they know not me
Now there's a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know I have to go
 - Explanation about the song.

I choose this song “Father and Son” as my favorite because of the situation I have with my father.

I can relate to how a father cared so much to his son. A father who wants his child to be ready to face
any trials in life. a father wanted a son more than anything, he taught his son everything he has, but he
didn’t understand what a son wants.

This song tells everyone how a father and a son relationship worked. A song with a soulful word.

A song that can encourage everybody to make bond with their family.

I first heard this song way back 2010 when was the first time I got separated from my family, I run away
from them due to conflict or misunderstanding. I played this song and felt the soul of a father, a loved of
a father.

How I wish I have a father to talk with, a father I can share my problem.

This is all about a father not understanding a son’s desire to make his own decision, a son’s desire to
break away to form his own life, and the son that cannot really explain what is in his mind and he think it
is his time to make or seek his own destiny.
Cat Stevens originally wrote "Father and Son" as part of a proposed musical project starring Nigel
Hawthorne, called Revolussia, that was set during the Russian Revolution, and could also have
become a film; the song was about a boy who wanted to join the revolution against the wishes of
his conservative farmer father.
 2. Writing the evolution of music in the Philippines.
Music of the Philippines (Filipino: Musika ng Pilipinas; Spanish: Música de Filipinas) include
musical performance arts in the Philippines or by Filipinos composed in various genres and styles.
The compositions are often a mixture of different Asian, Spanish, Latin American, American,
and indigenous influences.

Indigenous music[edit]
Main article: Philippine folk music
Notable folk song composers include the National Artist for Music Lucio San Pedro, who composed
the famous "Sa Ugoy ng Duyan" that recalls about the loving touch of mother to her child. Another
composer, the National Artist for Music Antonino Buenaventura, is notable for notating folk songs
and dances. Buenaventura composed the music for "Pandanggo sa Ilaw".

Gong music[edit]
Philippine gong music can be divided into two types: the flat gong commonly known as gangsà and
played by the groups in the Cordillera region and the bossed gongs played among the Islam and
animist groups in the southern Philippines.
Kulintang refers to a racked gong chime instrument played in the southern islands of the Philippines,
along with its varied accompanying ensembles. Different groups have different ways of playing
the kulintang. Two major groups seem to stand-out in kulintang music. These are the Maguindanaon
and the Maranaw. The kulintang instrument itself could be traced to either the introduction of gongs
to Southeast Asia from China before the 10th century CE, or more likely, to the introduction of
bossed gong chimes from Java in the 15th century. Nevertheless, the kulintang ensemble is the
most advanced form of ensemble music with origins in the precolonial epoch of Philippine history,
and is a living tradition in southern parts of the country.

Hispanic-influenced music[edit]
Spain ruled the Philippines for 333 years, and Hispanic influence in Filipino culture is ubiquitous.
This influence can be easily seen in folk and traditional music, especially in the Tagalog and Visayan
regions, where Spanish influence was greatest.

Rondalla music[edit]
The Rondalla is a traditional string orchestra comprising two-string, mandolin-type instruments such
as the banduria and laud; a guitar; a double bass; and often a drum for percussion. The rondalla has
its origins in the Iberian rondalla tradition, and is used to accompany several Hispanic-influenced
song forms and dances.

Harana and Kundiman[edit]

The Harana and Kundiman are popular lyrical songs dating back to the Spanish period, and are
customarily used in courtship rituals. The Harana is rooted in the Mexican-Spanish tradition and
based on the rhythmic patterns of the habanera. The Kundiman, meanwhile, has pre-colonial origins
from the Tagalophone parts of the country, uses a triple meter rhythm, and is characterised by
beginning in a minor key and shifting to a major one in the second half.
In the 1920s, Harana and Kundiman became more mainstream after performers such as Atang de la
Rama, Jovita Fuentes, Conching Rosal, Sylvia La Torre and Ruben Tagalog introduced them to a
wider audience.
Tinikling[edit]
The Tinikling is a dance from Leyte which involves two individual performers hitting bamboo poles,
using them to beat, tap, and slide on the ground, in co-ordination with one or more dancers who
steps over and in between poles. This is one of the more iconic Philippine dances, and is similar to
other Southeast Asian bamboo dances.

Cariñosa[edit]
The Cariñosa (meaning "loving" or "affectionate one") is the national dance and is part of the María
Clara suite of Philippine folk dances. It is notable for use of the fan and handkerchief in amplifying
romantic gestures expressed by the couple performing the traditional courtship dance. The dance is
similar to the Mexican Jarabe Tapatío, and is related to the Kuracha, Amenudo and Kuradang
dances in the Visayas and Mindanao Area.

Pop music[edit]See also: Pinoy pop

Through the 1990s to the 2000s, OPM pop was regularly showcased in the live band scene. Groups
such as Neocolours, Side A, Introvoys, the Teeth, Yano, True Faith, Passage
and Freestyle popularized songs that clearly reflect the sentimental character of OPM pop of this
era.
From 2010 to 2020, Philippine pop music or P-pop went through a huge metamorphasis in its
increased quality, budget, investment and variety, matching the country's rapid economic growth,
and an accompanying social and cultural resurgence of its Asian identity. This was heard by heavy
influence from K-pop and J-pop, a growth in Asian style ballads, idol groups, and EDM music, and
less reliance on Western genres, mirroring the Korean wave and similar Japanese wave popularity
among millennial Filipinos and mainstream culture. Famous P-pop music artists who had defined the
growth of this now mainstream genre include Sarah Geronimo, SB19, XLR8, KZ Tandingan, Erik
Santos, Yeng Constantino, MNL48, Regine Velasquez and P-Pop Generation.

Choir music[edit]Choral music has become an important part of Philippine music culture. It
dates back to the choirs of churches that sing during mass in the old days. In the middle of the 20th
century, performing choral groups started to emerge and increasingly become popular as time goes
by. Aside from churches, universities, schools and local communities have established choirs.
Philippine choral arrangers like Robert Delgado, Fidel Calalang, Lucio San Pedro, Eudenice
Palaruan among others have included in the vast repertoires of choirs beautiful arrangements of
OPM, folk songs, patriotic songs, novelty songs, love songs, and even foreign songs.
The Philippine Madrigal Singers (originally the University of the Philippines Madrigal Singers) is one
of the most famous choral groups not only in the Philippines, but also worldwide. Winning
international competitions, the group became one of the most formidable choral groups in the
country. Other award-winning choral groups are the University of Santo Tomas Singers, the
Philippine Meistersingers (Former Adventist University of the Philippines Ambassadors), the U.P.
Singing Ambassadors and U.P. Concert Chorus, among others.

Rock music[edit]
See also: Pinoy rock
The United States occupied the Islands from 1898 until 1946, and introduced American blues, folk
music, R&B and rock & roll which became popular. In the late 1950s, native performers adapted
Tagalog lyrics for North American rock & roll music, resulting in the seminal origins of Philippine
rock. The most notable achievement in Philippine rock of the 1960s was the hit song "Killer Joe",
which propelled the group Rocky Fellers, reaching number 16 on the American radio charts.
Other genres[edit]
A number of other genres are growing in popularity in the Philippine music scene, including a
number of alternative groups and tribal bands promoting cultural awareness of the Philippine
Islands.
Jazz[edit]
Likewise, jazz has experienced a resurgence in popularity. Initial impetus was provided by
W.D.O.U.J.I. (Witch Doctors of Underground Jazz Improvisation) with their award-winning
independent release "Ground Zero" distributed by the now defunct N/A Records in 2002 and the
Tots Tolentino-led Buhay jazz quartet in the year before that. This opened up the way for later
attempts most notable of which is the Filipino jazz supergroup Johnny Alegre Affinity, releasing its
eponymous debut album in 2005 under London-based Candid Records. Mon David has also made
the rounds of the Las Vegas music circuit. Among the female performers, Mishka Adams has been
the most prominent. A recent development is the fusion of spoken-word and jazz and also with rock,
chiefly attributed to Radioactive Sago Project. Other notable names of late are Bob Aves with his
ethno-infused jazz, The Jazz Volunteers and Akasha which have anchored the now legendary
underground jazz jams at Freedom Bar for almost half of the 11 years of its existence. Today,
underground jazz jams are now held in a bar called TAGO jazz bar which is located at Main Avenue,
Cubao. Newer jazz groups emerged in the local jazz scene namely Swingster Syndicate pioneering
in the post-bop and modern trad jazz, and Camerata Jazz known for their Filipino jazz arrangements
and sound.
Novelty pop[edit]
Pinoy novelty songs became popular in the 1970s up to the early 1980s. Popular novelty singers
around this time were Reycard Duet, Fred Panopio and Yoyoy Villame. Novelty pop acts in the
1990s and 2000s included Michael V., Bayani Agbayani, Grin Department, Masculados, Vhong
Navarro, Sexbomb Girls, Joey de Leon ("Itaktak Mo"), Viva Hot Babes and Willie Revillame.
Latin genres[edit]
Bossa nova and Latino music has been popular since the 1970s. Performers like Annie Brazil were
active in the 1970s, while more recently, Sitti has been earning rave reviews for her bossa nova
covers of popular songs.
Reggae[edit]
Main article: Pinoy reggae
While there has long been a flourishing underground reggae and ska scene, particularly in Baguio, it
is only recently that the genres have been accepted in the mainstream. Acts like Brownman
Revival, Put3ska, Roots Revival of Cebu and The Brown Outfit Bureau of Tarlac City have been
instrumental in popularizing what is called "Island Riddims". There is also a burgeoning mod revival,
spearheaded by Juan Pablo Dream and a large indie pop scene.
Electronic music[edit]
Electronic music began in the mid-1990s in the Manila underground spearheaded by luminaries like
Manolet Dario of the Consortium. In 2010, local artists started to create electropop songs
themselves. As of now, most electronic songs are used in commercials. The only radio station so far
that purely plays electronic music is 107.9 U Radio. The 2010s also began the rise
of budots from Davao City, which is regarded as the first "Filipino-fied" EDM, as well as indie
electronic producers, DJs and artists with the likes of Somedaydream, Borhuh, Kidwolf, Zelijah, John
Sedano, MVRXX, MRKIII, Bojam, CRWN, NINNO, Kidthrones, and Jess Connelly.
 3. Identify the remarkable songs and singers in the Philippines.

1970s[edit]
Up until the 1970s, popular rock musicians began writing and producing in English. In the early
1970s, rock music began to be written using local languages, with bands like the Juan Dela
Cruz Band being among the first popular bands to do so. Mixing Tagalog and English lyrics
were also popularly used within the same song, in songs like "Ang Miss Universe Ng Buhay Ko
("The Miss Universe of My Life") by the band Hotdog which helped innovate the Manila sound.
The mixing of the two languages (known as "Taglish"), while common in casual speech in the
Philippines, was seen as a bold move, but the success of Taglish in popular songs,
including Sharon Cuneta's first hit, "Mr. DJ", broke the barrier forevermore.
Philippine rock musicians added folk music and other influences, helping to lead to the 1978
breakthrough success of Freddie Aguilar. Aguilar's "Anak" ("Child"), his debut recording, is the
most commercially successful Filipino recording, and was popular throughout Asia and Europe,
and has been translated into numerous languages by singers worldwide. Asin also broke into
the music scene in the same period, and were popular. Other similar artists
included Sampaguita, Coritha, Florante, Mike Hanopol, and Heber Bartolome.
1980s[edit]
Folk rock became the Philippine protest music of the 1980s, and Aguilar's "Bayan Ko" ("My
Country") became popular as an anthem during the 1986 EDSA Revolution. At the same time, a
counterculture rejected the rise of politically focused lyrics. In Manila, a punk rock scene
developed, led by bands like Betrayed, the Jerks, Urban Bandits, and Contras. The influence
of new wave was also felt during these years, spearheaded by the Dawn.
1990s[edit]
The 1990s saw the emergence of Eraserheads, considered by many Philippine nationals as the
number one group in the Philippine recording scene. In the wake of their success was the
emergence of a string of influential Filipino rock bands such as True Faith, Yano,
Siakol, Teeth, Parokya ni Edgar and Rivermaya, each of which mixes the influence of a variety
of rock subgenres into their style.[9][circular reference] A 1990s death metal emergence had bands as
prominent fixtures at Club Dredd of the "tunog kalye" era.
2000s[edit]
Filipino rock in the 2000s had also developed to include some Punk Rock, Hardcore, Emo, hard
rock, heavy metal and alternative rock such as Razorback, Wolfgang, Greyhoundz, Slapshock,
Queso, Typecast, Chicosci, Bamboo, Kamikazee, Franco, Urbandub and the progressive bands
Paradigm, Fuseboxx, Earthmover and Eternal Now.
2010s[edit]
The 2010s saw the rise of various unsigned acts of different subgenres from another format of
rock, independent music which included indie acts such as Autotelic, Snakefight,
Jejaview, Bullet Dumas, Ang Bandang Shirley, Cheats, BP Valenzuela, She's Only Sixteen, The
Ransom Collective, Oh, Flamingo!, Sud, Jensen and The Flips, MilesExperience, Tom's Story,
Lions & Acrobats, Ben&Ben, December Avenue, IV of Spades, CHNDTR, Clara Benin, Reese
Lansangan, Unique Salonga, This Band, I Belong to the Zoo, Brisom, Lola
Amour, Luncheon, Munimuni, Over October, and Leanne and Naara, among others.
Rock festivals have emerged through the recent years and it has been an annual event for
some of the rock/metal enthusiasts. One big event is the Pulp Summer Slam wherein local
rock/metal bands and international bands such as Lamb of God, Anthrax, Death Angel and Arch
Enemy have performed.[10] Another all-local annual event, Rakrakan Festival, where over 100
Pinoy rock acts performed.
The neo-traditional genre in Filipino music is also gaining popularity, with artists such as Joey
Ayala, Grace Nono, Bayang Barrios, Kadangyan and Pinikpikan reaping relative commercial
success while utilizing the traditional musical sounds of many indigenous tribes in the Philippines.
