BAMBOO (BAND)
Bamboo is a Filipino alternative rock band founded in 2002 by the former vocalist of Rivermaya, Bamboo Mañalac. The band is named after its frontman, Bamboo Mañalac. According to Ira Cruz, the guitarist, the word bamboo also relates to strength and durability with an island feel to it. Two of its members were former members of Rivermaya, Bamboo Mañalac and Nathan Azarcon. Four years after their departure from Rivermaya, Mañalac and Azarcon caught up again with each other, where Azarcon introduced him to Ira Cruz and Vic Mercado who were then members of Pop Ballad band Passage. Bamboo released their debut album As the Music Plays in February 2004 where it got positive response from fans and critics alike. The album also won numerous awards at AWIT Awards, NU107 Rock Awards, and MTV Pilipinas 2004. Their second album, Light Peace Love, which was released in 2005, consisted of ten songs of differing moods and subjects, which took only 3 months to record. This album has a softer sound with both its lyrics and delivery. For this album they added more strings and variety of other instruments, including a trumpet. The band experimented with several new styles that may please new listeners, at the risk of disappointing fans of the more conventional rock of their first album. Their third album, We Stand Alone Together, was released in 2007. It contains revived local and international songs from different generations.

the night when snow fell
the tenderness and warmth you gave me, when you held my hands
kept me warm the chilling winter
i lost what i used to have
when you left me
you took away the smile, leaving behind only the lonliness
cant remember what happiness is anymore.
the nights without you , is so much darker
i can only close my eyes, to feel
the nights without me, who is with you, replacing the old us?
can i hear you say you love me once more?
back to when i was still at your side
can you let me have what i once had?
the tenderness and warmth that once belongs for me...
