1) Alternative rock band from Philippines.
2) American singer/songwriter.
1) Hale is an alternative rock quartet that originally formed from the southern part of Metro Manila. The band consists of Champ Lui Pio (vocals, rhythm guitar), Roll Martinez (vocals, lead guitar), Sheldon Gellada (bass guitar), and Paulo Santiago (drums and percussion), Join The Club's former drummer who replaced Omnie Saroca in 2008.
This four-piece rock alternative outfit collected themselves at the core of one goal to reach out the listening crowd and make them understand the value of the band’s musical sincerity. From the start, all they really wanted was to musically express themselves and be heard. But they didn't count on the massive chart-topping power of their sounds that spawned a new pop rock genre they've coined 'melodrama'.
Hale (2005-2006)
It was their self-titled debut album in 2005 that propelled them to the local mainstream and gained them their already growing popularity. Singles like Broken Sonnet, The Day You Said Goodnight, Kahit Pa and Kung Wala Ka monopolized music charts across the nation with one impressive hit after another. In that same year the album reached Triple Platinum Certification, sealing their name as one of the country's most acclaimed bands.
Twilight (2006-2008)
In October 2006, the band released their much-awaited sophomore album Twilight that jolted the OPM scene with experimental lyrics and sounds that featured a wider spectrum of musical arrangements: rough riffs and darker, more intricate lyrics. It was a move that most music artists wouldn't dared to do in such an early stage. But Twilight had successfully topped the charts once again with 15,000 units sold only a week after its release.
With already two successful albums under their belts, Hale suddenly decides to take a break and announces a 'hiatus'' from the exhaustion and the pressure to record the second album.
Above, Over and Beyond (2008-2009)
After their hibernation, Hale returns with a new album and a newfound passion. It took ten months to complete their third effort Above, Over and Beyond, but was eventually released on April 2008 which contained fresh singles like Pitong Araw, Sandali Na Lang, Over and Over (And Over Again) and Leap of Faith. Unlike before, it features a new sound that showcases the band's further artistic abilities without repeating what they've done before.
Kundiman (2009-present)
The band is set to promote their fourth album, Kundiman, in July 2009. As of now, the first single they've released from their effort is Bahay Kubo.
2) Hale Sheffield is a singer + songwriter born and raised in Brooklyn. When Hale was 15, she came up with the name Easy Socks. It has been her stage name for 4 years now, but as she's has gotten older she's found the importance of going back to her roots.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of this fifteenth song
Of melancholy, of melancholy
And now I will admit in this fourth line
That I love you, that I love you
I don't care what they say
I don't care what they do
Cause tonight I leave my fears behind
Cause tonight I'll be right at your side
The clock on the TV says 8:39 p.m.
It's the same, it's the same
And in this next line I'll say it all over again
That I love you, that I love you
I don't care what they say
I don't care what they do
Cause tonight I leave my fears behind
Cause tonight I'll be right at your side
Lie down right next to me
Lie down right next to me
And I will never let go, will never let go
I leave my fears behind
Cause tonight I'll be right at your side
Lie down right next to me
Lie down right next to me
And I will never let go, never let go
But still I see the tears from your eyes
Maybe I'm just not the one for you
The song "Broken Sonnet" by Hale is a beautiful reflection of surrendering oneself to love. The lyrics begin with the singer admitting to feeling melancholic and defeated. The mention of the fifteenth song, a number associated with the end of a cycle, signifies that the singer is ready for a significant change. In the fourth line, the singer confesses that they love someone. This admission is crucial, as it serves as a catalyst for the following lines to convey a newfound sense of bravery and hope.
The chorus of the song is a repetitive affirmation that the singer does not care what others say or think about their love. The lines "Cause tonight, I leave my fears behind / Cause tonight, I'll be right at your side" indicate that tonight is the night they take a leap of faith and overcome their fears. The subsequent lines "Lie down right next to me / And I will never let go, never let go" suggest that the singer's love is deep and enduring.
However, the concluding lines of the song take an unexpected turn. The singer sees tears in their lover's eyes and wonders if they are not the right one. The vulnerability of this admission suggests that love may not always have a happy ending, and there are times when we have to make difficult choices.

Like nio to kung gusto ninyong bumalik sa nakaraan?
Noon panahong high school kayo o college, papasok o uuwi kayo at sasakay ng bus o jeep at ito ang mga music na maririnig ninyo sa FM,
noong panahong simple pa lahat, mas maraming interactions less social media
Noong wala pang tiktok at kpop
Noong simple pa ang lahat s buhay at wala pa masiyadong mga problema...
Lets travel back in time

REAL TALK: Mas gusto ko ang lyricism ng mga panahong yan, 90s to early 2000s pati yung nag emerge ang mga OPM bands. Mas gusto ko sila kesa yung mga songs ngayon na masyadong obvious ang lyrics at puro hugot. May hugot din tong mga songs na to pero mas deep...
@migueldelacruz5054
I know right! Madaming mga banda at artists noon na poetic ang pagkakasulat ng mga kanta.
@kentm1719
Tama mas trip ko talaga Yung 90s 2000s Kasi iba talaga Yung bagsak sa mga lyrics.
@hakunamatata8424
Totoo, yun mga kanta ngayon more on mga phrase na sumikat sa social media 😆
@johnkevincarlos4586
Di gaya ngayon yung pinagtagpo pero di tinadhana ginamit ng dalawang banda nag gagayahan ng linya

Why "Broken Sonnet" is the title? According to Rol, their lead guitarist, the whole song is a sonnet (a poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of formal rhyme schemes, in English typically having ten syllables per line.) but they insert two additional verses at the end (But still I see the tears from your eyes , Maybe I'm just not the one for you) which "broke" the sonnet.
@kewl800i
Nice trivia. Saan nila sinabi yan sir? Sa magazine?
@khaosfc
@@kewl800i i remember Champ or Rol saying this during their Myx Live sessions way back 2005 yata. Good old days
