MANILA, Philippines – It takes two to tango, and Nino Regalado and Adrienne Buenaventura are taking the stage. Buenaventura’s moving lyrics and Regalado’s talent for melody-making are a match made in heaven.
“Sometimes That Happens” was written in August 2012, months before Buenaventura had a miscarriage. The song’s lyrics resonate with her experience of trying to move on with life despite the deadening pain of loss.
Having their song among the Philpop 2013 top 12 is a chance for rebirth, says Buenaventura.
“Sometimes That Happens” is performed by Ace Libre of Never The Strangers.
Video transcript:
Nino:
Nalaman ko na magaling siya mag-write ng poems and lyrics, tapos sabi ko, “Tamang-tama, baka pwede kong hiramin yung lyrics mo, tignan ko kung anong magagawa ko.”
Adrienne:
Ako, I’ve worked with a couple of other songwriters, pero ‘yung amin kasi, parang kinakasal ‘yung lyrics and ‘yung melody, and I appreciate that.
I wrote the lyrics to “Sometimes That Happens” in August 2012. October I found out I was pregnant; two months later, the baby lost the heartbeat, so I was devastated. Pero the Philpop thing kind of sprouted, so I called Nino and said, “Nino, is it okay that we submit this song?”
Nino:
‘Yung lyrics eksakto na dun sa experience niya eh.
Adrienne:
The title kind of fit the circumstance. The singer alam niya na sigurado na sya dito sa isang taong ito. Something happened along the way na hindi natuloy, pero there’s a line there: sometimes that happens. Kahit na ganoon kasakit, it kind of resonated with what I felt.
Nino and Adrienne:
(Singing) Sometimes that happens, sometimes love just has to end, crystal dreams shatter, wish we could make amends (Singing stops)
Nino:
Gusto kong manalo sa Philpop, pero ngayon palang feeling ko winner na ‘ko kasi nga andami-daming pinagpiliang songs, tapos pasok ‘yung song namin.
Adrienne:
If my pregnancy had continued, I would have given birth in July, so it’s like giving birth to another baby.
Nino and Adrienne:
(Singing) I’m not the prince, I know you’re not my princess, sometimes that happens, can we just stay as friends. (Singing stops)
