Maychelle Baay (vocals/guitars); Herbert Hernandez (guitars); Paolo Bernaldo (bass); Bon Sundiang (drums) came up with a very apt title TODO COMBO! While most bands’ music grows but personally drifts apart, this group confesses that their journey together has grown further from being mere band members to a band fully-bonded by experiences on and off the road.
Four individuals with careers outside the band – the restaurateur and music video director Paolo, advertising guy Herbert; radio marketer Bon; and clinical researcher Maysh- has emerged with a fresh and positive spin to songs such as Tadhana, Can’t Stop, Migraine and their much-lauded version of APO classic Panalangin. Tracks such as Di Kasi, Late Ka Na Naman, Bintana, and their YANO remake – Senti, meanwhile, remain faithful to the band’s trademark sound.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pare pare lang ang style nila
Paulit ulit na pangako nakakasawa na
Akala ko'y wala ng pag asa ang buhay
Ay muling pang sisigla
Ngunit lahat ng ito'y nagbago
Nung makilala ka oh
Sa piling mo gumagaan gumaganda ang araw sa
Bawat hawak at haplos damang dama
At pag gusto ko'y taglay mo na
Di na ako hahanap pa ng iba
Pagkat sayo ako ngayon ay sigurado na
Sa piling mo gumagaan gumaganda ang araw sa
Bawat hawak at haplos damang dama
Sa piling mo gumagaan gumaganda ang araw sa
Bawat hawak at haplos damang dama
Damang dama
Damang dama
Sa piling mo gumagaan gumaganda ang araw sa
Bawat hawak at haplos damang dama
Sa piling mo gumagaan gumaganda ang araw sa
Bawat hawak at haplos damang dama
Sa piling mo gumagaan gumaganda ang araw sa
Bawat hawak at haplos damang dama
The song "Damang-Dama" by Moonstar88 talks about how the presence of someone special can make the world a much happier place. The opening lyrics talk about the common styles of other people and how they can be repetitive and annoying, which causes a headache. The chorus talks about how being with that someone special can make every day feel better, and how their touch and presence can be felt deeply (damang dama). The second verse starts off with the singer feeling hopeless before they meet this person, but when they finally do, everything changes. The pre-chorus and chorus repeat themselves, emphasizing the importance of the person in the singer's life.

Sakit sa ulo lang iba
It's just a headache for others
Pare pare lang ang style nila
They all have the same style
Paulit ulit na pangako nakakasawa na
Repeated promises become tiring
Akala ko'y wala ng pag asa ang buhay
I thought there was no hope in life
Ay muling pang sisigla
But it will be invigorated again
Ngunit lahat ng ito'y nagbago
But everything changed
Nung makilala ka oh
When I met you
Sa piling mo gumagaan gumaganda ang araw sa
Being with you makes the day brighter and lighter
Bawat hawak at haplos damang dama
Every touch and caress is deeply felt
At pag gusto ko'y taglay mo na
And when I want something, you already have it
Di na ako hahanap pa ng iba
I won't look for anyone else anymore
Pagkat sayo ako ngayon ay sigurado na
Because now I am sure of you
Damang dama
Deeply felt
