I've never heard of these songs before. I like it tho, thanks for sharing, mga igsoon.
your mom and pop must know this song. it was common during mass celebrations in the period fr chic had mentioned. (it looks like at that time, you were still floating in the cosmos wondering whether earth will accept you or not.
)
p.s. maybe watching the 1969 movie "goodbye mr. chips" will help. (i haven't watched it myself, but i'm curious. i hope it's still available somewhere. it starred peter o'toole and petula clark. well, if these two aren't familiar to you either, think of that blue-eyed guy in the movie "lawrence of arabia" and the song "don't sleep in the subway". if these turn out to be more of the same strange territory to you, by jove, you must be a martian!)
posting "don't sleep in the subway" song in another thread...
