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.
The Ballad Of
Hale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
8 billion lives are changing
Never felt so alone
Would you consider me in spite of this?
I'm always the one who loses
Would you make me better?
Why do you have to be so far?
It's all clear now I'm gonna keep you
Like flowing water into forever
That look is all I need to get by
Like living in some illusion
I never felt so alive
I know that there will be flaws around us
The silly wars that we'll be fighting
Yes, I'll be fighting
How, how, how will we make this work?
Why do you have to be so far?
It's all clear now I'm gonna keep you
Like flowing water into forever
It's all clear now I'm gonna keep you
Like flowing water into forever
Into forever now
I'll be the one who holds you dear
There are 8 billion people in this world
8 billions live are changing and you're the one I need.
The lyrics to Hale's song The Ballad Of speak about the feeling of being alone in a world full of chaos and changes. The first line highlights the vast number of people inhabiting the world and emphasizes the importance of finding someone special among them. The line "Never felt so alone" shows the desperation of looking for a connection. The singer asks the listener to look beyond the surface and consider them, even though they always seem to lose. This is a plea for love and acceptance despite their perceived shortcomings.
The chorus repeats the question "How will we make this work?" addressing the difficulty of sustaining a relationship when the person one loves is not within reach. The singer acknowledges that there will be obstacles ahead and expects to fight silly wars, but they promise to fight for the person they love. The lines "I'm gonna keep you like flowing water into forever" serve as a metaphor for the commitment the singer wants to make to their loved one. The singer wants to be the one who holds their partner dear, highlighting their desire to love and be loved unconditionally.

I will always cherish and love you
8 billion lives are changing and you're the one I need.
Out of all those people, you are the one that I want and need in my life.
