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.

I'm Sorry
Moonstar88 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With my roses and box full of sweets
I had it all, memorized the lines in my head
Thinking I'd be winning your smile
Once again
heeey...
But when I saw you
I realized how I am ashamed of myself
My mouth has failed to say the things i just can't express
Afraid to say things I might regret
heeey...
Chorus:
What is there to do when I did something wrong
I didn't mean to hurt you but it took so long
To say I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Say you won't ever leave me down
Say you won't ever leave me down
Say you won't ever leave me down
I'm sorry
Repeat Chorus
Say you won't ever leave me down
Say you won't
Say you won't
Say you won't ever leave me down
Say you won't ever leave me down
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I'm on my way
I am coming to express my regret
With my roses and box full of sweets
I bring gifts to show my sincerity
I had it all, memorized the lines in my head
I rehearsed what I want to say to you
Thinking I'd be winning your smile
Hoping to gain your forgiveness
But when I saw you
Upon seeing you
I realized how I am ashamed of myself
I feel guilt and embarrassment
My mouth has failed to say the things i just can't express
I cannot find the right words to apologize
Afraid to say things I might regret
I fear saying something offensive or hurtful
What is there to do when I did something wrong
What should I do to make things right after my mistake
I didn't mean to hurt you but it took so long
My intention was not to hurt you, but I took too long to apologize

One of my favorite song of moonstar88.
Belle,
I’m sorry for the things I’ve done. I know I’ve caused you a lot of pain. Mahal na mahal kita always and my heart will always be yours forever. I’m still hoping and waiting for our baby boy 😊.
I love you so much love ko.
