In 2005, the group disbanded and Almalbis went on to pursue a solo career, while Rommel dela Cruz soon became the bassist of Freestyle (the original bassist migrated to Australia).
Hungry Young Poets (aka HYP) was founded in the Philippines as a duo in 1997 by Barbie Almalbis (guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter) and Ricci Gurango (bassist). After releasing their one self-titled album, Franklin Benitez (drummer) would officially complete the trio.
In 1998, Gurango left the band to lead cover band, Little Green Men,[1], before forming MOJOFLY. With Gurango's assertion of rights to the band's name, Almalbis and Benitez would later rename the group, Barbie's Cradle.
Belinda Bye-Bye
Barbie's Cradle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Disappear in the light smile like that Belinda
But I will not follow you tonight I will go home
You are tremors in my heart you are my Belinda
You will be my sinful secret
I can't tell my kids about you
Though I could never lie
You know I'd like to stay here and chat for a while
But its bad for my future plans of being a loyal wife
So bye bye Belinda bye bye Belinda bye bye
If you think this song is about you
You're so vain Belinda
But if you catch my stupid eye you'd know you're right
But I will not look again this time I will hide my heart
The spirits in my room they whisper
You know the sky is now in bloom
But I'll sacrifice Belinda
I have to let you go cause I think it might be lust
You know I'd like to stay and do magic with you
But that would be unkind to my little boy blue
Little boy blue lost his shoe
One day paddling in the water
He cried and he cried and he realized
That its more fun to run without shoes

Hi! Please explain this part
Little boy blue lost his shoe
One day paddling in the water
He cried and he cried
He cried and he realized
That its more fun to run without shoes
@EZ-ir8sp
Perhaps she is referring to her yearning and own loss of belinda (the shoe) and eventually healing (realizing that it’s fun to run even without shoes) even without her belinda. :)
