MANILA, Philippines – To Myrus Apacible, music has always been his destiny, the engine that drives every choice and every act.

Apacible’s “Sana Pinatay Mo Na Lang Ako” (You Should’ve Just Killed Me) brings back his high school days spent pining for a beautiful girl.

His world falls to pieces when he sees her with another boy. He turns to music to vent his frustration.

“Sana Pinatay Mo Na Lang Ako” is performed by Kimpoy Feliciano.

Video transcript:

Pinangarap kong maging singer, ‘yung sikat na singer; hindi lang singer, basta sikat na singer. Alam ko pinanganak ako para gawin ‘tong mga bagay na ‘to.

Music for me, para siyang gasolina. Hindi ako mabubuhay eh, kapag wala siya. Kumbaga parang sa sasakyan, hindi siya aandar kapag walang gasolina. So ako, eto ‘yung inspirasyon ko; ito ‘yung nagmo-motivate sa akin; kapag malungkot ako, andyan siya.

(Singing) O kay sakit namang pag-ibig to, bakit niloko mo, sana pinatay mo nalang ako. (Singing stops)

Sumali ako sa Philpop kasi gusto kong manalo sa Philpop. Parang, “Uy, si Myrus hindi lang yan singer, songwriter din yan.” At least may something else pa ‘kong ma-o-offer sa mga tao. Um, ‘pag matalo ako sa Philpop, okay lang. At the end of the day, ang pinakamahalaga is lumaban ako.  

Ang title ng song ko is, “Sana Pinatay Mo Na Lang Ako.” Ang kwento nito medyo madugo, kaya “Sana Pinatay Mo Nalang Ako.” Nangyari ‘to noong high school ako, na-in love ako sa isang napakagandang babae. Nakita ko siya sa mall after 3 days naming mag-break.

Nakita ko sya sa mall, may kasama na siyang ibang guy. Sabi ng mga barkada ko, “Uy, pare, mas gwapo ka pa dun sa ano o, sa kasama niya.”

(Singing) O kay sakit kapag nalaman mo, na sa halimaw ka pinagpalit ng mahal mo. (Singing stops)

Lagi ko ngang sinasabi eh, hanggat may musika, hinding-hindi ako mag-iisa.
