Sacrifice
Originally written and performed (I think) by Sir Elton John (lyrics below), and a long-time favorite “videoke selection” of mine, the song “Sacrifice” has held numerous meanings for me, not the least of which as a serious (totoo!) questioning of the emotions related to marital infidelity: guilt, jealousy, inevitability, impermanence, understanding, acceptance, sacrifice… (heps. don’t get the wrong idea ha. Hindi ito confession.)
But this rendition of “Sacrifice” by the brilliant Brazilian guitarist Naudo, manages to convey all these emotions, and more, without using words. Truly, music does sooth savage beasts
As truly as time tempers the urge to fool around 
It’s a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation’s strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it’s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It’s two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it’s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It’s no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
hayyy… sarap
pinagiipunan na kita ng mga pigurins pero yung bandila, ayaw pakawalan ng mga anak ko, hehehe.
Taroogs – aba, miss kengks, onti na lang at maniniwala na ko na mag-uuwi ka nga ng pigurin for me! hehehehe… ok lang naman kung hindi sa bandila nakabalot… kahit sa papel na lang (mga lumang euro notes oks na sakin)
Taroogs – true… so true… heartbreakingly true. But sadness, no matter how deep, eventually fades… until it is but a fleeting bittersweet memory among many. Hikbi!
hay… namimis ko gitara ko… at si gary g.
Taroogs - honga. minsan gitara na lang link natin sa nakaraan… Idol ko din si Gary
