the ties that bind

anak ni mistique si nightcrawler at naging foster mother ni rogue, x-men pareho sila nightcrawler at rogue habang nakahanay kay magneto si mistique.

anak naman ni magneto si quicksilver at si scarlet witch na mga miyembro ng avengers. asawa ni scarlet witch si vision na kasama niya sa avengers.

si vision ay ginawa ng kalabang robot ng avengers na si ultron. si ultron naman ay likha ni hank pym na miyembro ng avengers bilang ant-man at giant-man.

do i move you

hindi ko napakilala sa yo si nina simone ano siya yong kinukwento ni julie delpy sa last scene ng before sunset yong ginagaya niyang kumanta ng naglalakad at nagyoyosi habang kausap ang audience

I get along without you very well
Of course, I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered

In your arms
Of course, I do
But I get along without you very well


matagal tagal yong conversation na yon pero sa totoo lang isa lang ang kanta ni nina simone sa before sunset eh

I wish I could share
All the love that’s in my heart


ginagaya ni julie si nina simone nuong matanda na sa france kung san siya tumira pagkatapos niyang nilayasan ang estados unidos dahil di na kumportable ang mga kinakanta niya para sa mga puti don nagiging parang anthem daw ng black panther ang mga kanta niya

My father was rich and white
He forced my mother late one night
What do they call me
My name is siffronia
My skin is brown
And my manner is tough
I’ll kill the first mother I see
Cos my life has been too rough
I’m awfully bitter these days
Because my parents were slaves
What do they call me
My Name Is Peaches


kahit kantang pangbroadway di mo alam kung malulungkot ka, maiinlab, o magagalit kapag siya na ang kumanta

I loves you, porgy,
Don’t let him take me
Don’t let him handle me
With his hot hands
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
I’ve got my man
Someday I know he’s coming to call me
He’s going to handle me and hold me
So, it’ going to be like dying, porgy
When he calls me
But when he comes I know I’ll have to go

me eksena din don sa palabas ni bridget fonda na the assassin nung naghiwalay sila ni gabriel byrne at sinigurado niya na sa kanya mapupunta ang plaka ni nina simone

So black is the color of my true love’s hair
Black is the color of my true love’s hair

ngayon kinakategorya ang cds niya sa jazz pero hindi naman talaga me mga albums nga siya ng pop standards ne merong my baby just cares for me na sumikat ulit nitong nakaraang dekada dahil ginamit sa isang commercial pero hindi din lang ganon ang kinanta niya

When I touch you do you quiver
From your head down to your liver
If you like it let me know it
Don't be psychic or you'll blow it
The answer better be (Yes, yes)
That pleases me

dahil sa distinct style at delivery niya akala mo puro original ang mga kanta niya pero marami ay cover songs pero super version niya kaya di mo halos makilala sabi nga niya oh to be young gifted and black

If morning echo says we've sinned
Well, it was what I wanted anyhow
And if we're the victims of the night
I promise you I won't be blinded by light
There is no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn
Just call me angel of the morning
Just touch my cheek before you leave me baby

mukhang paborito din niyang i-cover si bob dylan e siyempre late 60s early 70s non pero di na folksie ang tunog kapag rendition na ni nina

They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see the light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any day now
I shall be released

pati blues mhen ang galing niya mag blues kahit kantang hindi 12 bar na I-IV-V progression ay kaya nyang gawing blues

I put a spell on you’
cause you’re mine
You better stop the things you do
I ain’t lyin’ No I ain’t lyin’
You know I can’t stand it
You’re runnin’ around
You know better daddy
I can’t stand it cause you put me down

yon ang lawak ng catalogue niya kaya kapag nagbasa tungkol sa female jazz vocalists ay minor lang ang listing niya kesa kina ella, billie o sara pero sa totoo lang mhen siya ang pinaka-magaling kumanta sa lahat ng mga yon paniwalaan mo ako kahit hindi ko napakilala sa yo si nina simone

Baby, can you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go rough I feel real bad
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And othertimes it seems that, all I have to do is worry
And then I know you're bound to see my other side
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get my share
But that's one thing that I would never do'
cos I love you
Oh... Don't you know I'm human
I got my faults like any other one
Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regreting
Some foolish thing - some simple thing I've done
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

the tipping point

huwag sumubok sumakay ng MRT ng may dalang kahit anong de-lata
