Ang Awit Ng Aking Buhay

       Ang Pop Music ay isang uri ng musika na naglalaman ng kapansin-pansin na ritmo, melodya at ideya o mga salita at pangungusap na kumukuha ng atensyon ng tagapakinig. Ang mensahe ng isang awiting pop ay karanasang emosyonal, kalimitan ay tungkol sa pag-ibig.

       Ang napili kong kanta na siyang sumasalamin sa aking buhay ay ang “Hair” ni Lady Gaga. Kung inyong babasahin ang lyrics ng kanta ay tungkol lamang sa buhok ni Lady GaGa na ayon sa kaniya ay pinutulan ng kaniyang ina habang siya ay natutulog dahil sa sobrang haba na nito at ayaw pa niyang paputulan. Sa pamagat pa lamang ay alam nyo na kung saan patungkol ito, ngunit kung inyong iintindihin at aaralin ang awitin na ito ay tungkol sa mga pinagdadaanan ng mga kabataan na ang gusto lang naman ay gawin ang ninanais ng puso. Pinipigilan at kinagagalitan ng mga magulang samantalang walang ginagawang masama. Nawawala ang tiwala at respeto sa anak sa sobrang pag-aalala at pagmamahal, kaya kung minsan ay dumadating na sa punto na ang mga anak ay natututo ng lumaban at magrebelde sa sobrang paghihigpit ng mga magulang. Sa paghihigpit na ito natututunan din ng mga anak na gawin na nga lang ang laging iniisip at inaasahan na mangyari ng kanilang mga magulang. Umalis ng bahay ng walang paalam at umuwi ng wala sa tamang oras, at kung anu-ano pa.

       Lagi akong nakakagalitan ng nanay ko dahil hindi daw ako marunong ngumiti. Laging tahimik at hindi malaman ang gusto. Ang gusto ko lang naman ay makapagpahinga ng maayos pagdating sa bahay ng walang maingay at istorbo. Hindi kasi ako makatagal sa sobrang ingay at gulo ng paligid, hindi mo talaga ko maaasahang ngumiti kapag ganoon, na iyon naman na hindi maintindihan ng nanay ko. Hindi daw ako marunong makisama dahil sa lagi ko na lang daw gusto ay tahimik ang paligid. Kaya napili ko ang kantang ito ni Lady GaGa dahil hindi talaga ako naiintindihan ng nanay ko ngunit patuloy pa din ako sa gawain ko.

"Hair"

Lady Gaga

Whenever I dress cool,
My parents put up a fight
And if I’m a hotshot,
Mom will cut my hair at night
And in the morning I’m short of my identity
I scream Mom and Dad
Why can't I be who I wanna be?


I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to love me for who I am
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to know, I am my Hair


I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair


I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair


I’ve had enough
I’m not a freak
I must keep fighting to stay cool on the streets


I’ve had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear
I’m as free as my hair


Sometimes I want to rock on some highlights
Just because
I want my friend to think that I am dynamite
And on Friday, rock city, High School dance
I've got my bangs to hide
That I don't stand a chance
A chance


I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to love me for who I am
I just wanna be myself,
And I want you to know, I am my Hair


I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair


I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair


I’ve had enough
I’m not a freak
I must keep fighting to stay cool on the streets


I’ve had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear
I’m as free as my hair


I just want to be free, I just want to be me
And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties


I don't wanna change,
And I don't wanna be ashamed
I'm the spirit of my Hair
It's all the glory that I bare
I am my Hair!


I'm my hair, I am my hair
It's all the glory that I bare
I'm my hair-am my hair
I'm my hair-am my hair yeah!


I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair


I’ve had enough
This is my prayer
That I’ll die living just as free as my hair


I’ve had enough
I’m not a freak
I must keep fighting to stay cool on the streets


I’ve had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear
I’m as free as my hair
