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.

Tadhana
Moonstar88 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ang daang pinagmulan
Ng saya sa iyong ngiti
Habang tayo'y magkatabi
Nais kong hawakan
Ang kamay mong kay gaan
Ni aninong nahuhuli
Tadhana bakit ka nakita
Tadhana bakit ka nakita
Kay bait ng iyong tingin
Kay lamig ng iyong tinig
Kasalanan kong mangyayari
Ang hindi ka kausapin
Nalimutan mo na ba
Ang daang pinagmulan
Ng saya sa iyong ngiti
Habang tayo'y magkatabi
Tadhana bakit ka nakita
Tadhana bakit ka nakita
Tadhana bakit ka nakita
Tadhana bakit ka nakita
Di na matitiis luhang babalik
Di na matitiis luhang babalik
Nalimutan mo na ba
Ang daang pinagmulan
Ng saya sa iyong ngiti
Habang tayo'y magkatabi
Tadhana bakit ka nakita
Tadhana bakit ka nakita
Tadhana oh
Tadhana oh
oh oh oh oh
The song Tadhana by Moonstar88 is about the regrets that come with a lost love. The lyrics speak of longing for the happiness that used to exist between two people, and the pain of realizing that it is now gone. The first stanza describes how the singer misses the happiness that they once shared with their love interest, particularly the joy that they would get from seeing their smile. The second stanza reveals a desire to be closer to their love interest, to touch their hand and feel the weight of their presence. However, the singer is held back by the fear of rejection, symbolized by the shyness of the shadows around them. The chorus asks why fate, or "tadhana," would allow two people to come together only to pull them apart, and the third stanza offers a somber conclusion: the love they once had can never return.

Nalimutan mo na ba
Have you forgotten
Ang daang pinagmulan
The path from where we started
Ng saya sa iyong ngiti
The happiness that shines through your smile
Habang tayo'y magkatabi
While we were standing next to each other
Nais kong hawakan
I want to hold
Ang kamay mong kay gaan
Your light and gentle hand
Ni aninong nahuhuli
Even the shadow caught up
Nahihiya sa iyong lambing
Shy of your sweetness
Tadhana bakit ka nakita
Destiny, why did I see you
Kay bait ng iyong tingin
Your gaze is so kind
Kay lamig ng iyong tinig
Your voice is so cold
Kasalanan kong mangyayari
It will be my fault if
Ang hindi ka kausapin
I do not talk to you
Di na matitiis luhang babalik
I can't bear for the tears to come back
Tadhana oh
Destiny, oh
oh oh oh oh
