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.

Di Kasi
Moonstar88 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Akala mo ganun ako kasaya
Di mo lang alam, ako’y nagsisi na
Ayoko nang maulit pa ang nagawa
[Chorus:]
Di kasi ako sa’yo naging tapat
Di kasi ako sa’yo naging tapat
Ayoko nang mag-isa
Di ko nga maisip kung bakit ganito kasakit
Ang mapunta ka sa iba
Di kita masisi kung bakit ka ganyan
Malamang ako din ang dahilan
(Repeat Chorus)
Unti-unting natutunaw
Unti-unting lumuluha
Unti-unting giniginaw
Sa’yo…
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
In Moonstar88's song "Di Kasi," the singer expresses regret and frustration over a failed relationship. The opening lines, "Di mo lang alam, mahirap mag-isa, akala mo ganun ako kasaya" describe a feeling of loneliness despite appearing happy on the outside. The singer is remorseful and admits to making mistakes, and wishes they could take back what was done. The chorus, "Di kasi ako sa'yo naging tapat, ayoko nang mag-isa" conveys the feeling of being disloyal and isolated after a breakup.
The second verse, "Di ko nga maisip kung bakit ganito kasakit, ang mapunta ka sa iba, di kita masisi kung bakit ka ganyan, malamang ako din ang dahilan" further emphasizes the regret and confusion that the singer is experiencing. They cannot understand why the situation has caused so much pain and why the other person moved on so quickly. The singer acknowledges that they played a part in the breakup and cannot blame the other person for moving on.
Throughout the song, the lyrics convey a sense of sadness and heartbreak. The singer is struggling to come to terms with the end of the relationship and the realization that they were not entirely honest and faithful. The repetition of the chorus at the end emphasizes the singer's desire to move on from the relationship but knowing deep down that it is not that simple.
