They go, “Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?”
And they say...
“She's so lucky, she's a star.”
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?
If “Dancing Queen” was written by a screamo rock band in 2022, this is most likely what it will sound like. That is to say, for fans of rock music, not bad at all. Could go with less screaming, but yeah, still pretty good.
I cannot stop listening to this song today for some reason. That said, this is one of the best rock songs to come out of the Philippine music industry. Awesome chords, soaring melody and vocals. It's a song that doesn't seem like it will end, or that you don't want to end. You don't need to understand the Tagalog language to appreciate this. If you are a fan of music, this is just a great song to listen to.
I've had this song on repeat for the last 20 minutes. It's a beautiful uplifting song and this was a beautiful cover of the original.
The song is sung in Tagalog, which unfortunately I'm not that good at. But here's a rough translation of the song's lyrics. Again a beautiful uplifting song.
Don't look down on yourself
Don't think that you're useless
That's a damn big lie
Tomorrow the sun will rise again
But only for those with the patience to wait
Don't give in my friend
Keep your chin up high
Because nothing's going to happen
There's nothing for us to gain
Don't try to stop the rain from falling
There's time to be a king
There's time to be down on the ground
Because that's just the way life goes
It's sunny, it's raining
That's just the way life goes
