~An Accolade to Pinoy Bands~

This is something I had in mind, a feeling, a thought, or sort of something similar to it.It is somewhat being proud for the overflowing success of what we now pertain to as "Pinoy Bands". Having interviewed several of them, their triumph is something to be truly honored, though not really being a part of their circle of profound discoverers, feeling the sense of completion is what I, and many like me possess. At first I felt a selfish manner of not being happy for my newly discovered artists, thanks to a few close friends, gone popular. With this I uttered to myself, I should be feeling lucky for being one of the fortunate people who were able to spot them the first time. I remembered when my friend gave me a copy of a song which was revived by a rarely recognized band, I loved it and since then, we were "crazy" for the band, we even had pinoy bands as our project in which we personally interviewed some of the known and underground bands in the music industry. My circle of friends started singing our theme song and nobody recognized it and in fact, nobody really took that song and instilled it in their minds. I let some of my childhood friends hear the song and some classmates too, because I really enjoyed listening to it. After the semester, we were astonished for hearing some block mates singing that particular song which nobody knew, at least we thought so. Then we realized that the band was getting famous and everyone loved them, we felt bad, we thought the band was for us alone to experience, egotistical, but true. Soon every television set and "gigs" spelled out the name of the bands which we liked so much. And now I was thinking, was it really fair for those bands to have listeners like us? Feeling sorry for they are getting famous?? I think it's not, and so now I can truly say, without any hesitation, that I am swollen with pride for being one of the people listening to these bands and for being one of the people who influenced other people to support these artists commonly known as "Pinoy Bands". Let us continue this great achievement and hopefully, someday, I will have more right in saying I am proud of "Pinoy Bands".
