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.

Torete
Moonstar88 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maaari bang pagbigyan
Aalis na nga
Maaari bang hawakan ang
Iyong mga kamay
Sana ay maabot ang langit
Ang iyong mga ngiti
Sana ay masilip
'Wag kang mag-alala
Di ko ipipilit sa'yo
At kahit na lilipad
Ang isip ko'y torete sa'yo
Ilang gabi pa nga lang
Nang tayo'y pinagtagpo
Na parang may tumulak
Nanlalamig nanginginig na ako
Akala ko nung una
May bukas ang ganito
Mabuti pang umiwas
Pero salamat na rin at nagtagpo
Torete torete torete ako
Torete torete torete sa iyo
'Wag kang mag-alala
Di ko ipipilit sa'yo
At kahit na lilipad
Ang isip ko'y torete sa'yo
Torete torete torete ako
Torete torete torete sa'yo
Torete torete torete ako
Torete torete torete sa'yo
Torete torete ako sa iyo
Moonstar88's song "Torete" is a popular Filipino pop-rock song which has captivated the hearts of many Filipinos. The song features a man who is hesitant to leave his partner and make a decision regarding a relationship. He requests her to hold his hand and asks if his love can reach the sky, hoping to catch a glimpse of his partner's smile. He tells his loved one not to worry because he will not force her to stay, but he confesses that his mind is "torete," which means preoccupied with thoughts of her, and he cannot fly away.
The song creates a romantic and emotional ambiance through its beautiful composition and meaningful lyrics. The lyrics speak about the dilemma and confusion often felt by people who struggle with love and relationships. It seems to suggest that sometimes when love is undeniably strong, it becomes challenging to make rational decisions.

Sandali na lang
Let's wait for a moment
Maaari bang pagbigyan
Could you give in?
Aalis na nga
Leaving now
Maaari bang hawakan ang Iyong mga kamay
Could I hold your hands?
Sana ay maabot ang langit
Hopefully, we'll reach the sky
Ang iyong mga ngiti
Your smile
Sana ay masilip
I hope I could see it
'Wag kang mag-alala
Don't worry
Di ko ipipilit sa'yo
I won't force you
At kahit na lilipad
Even if I fly away
Ang isip ko'y torete sa'yo
My mind is obsessed with you
Ilang gabi pa nga lang
Just a few nights ago
Nang tayo'y pinagtagpo
When we are brought together
Na parang may tumulak
Like something pushed us
Nanlalamig nanginginig na ako
Suddenly, I'm feeling cold and trembling
Akala ko nung una
At first, I thought
May bukas ang ganito
There's a future in this
Mabuti pang umiwas
It's better to avoid it
Pero salamat na rin at nagtagpo
But I'm also thankful that we met
Torete torete torete ako
I am obsessed with you
Torete torete torete sa iyo
You are my obsession
Torete torete torete ako
I am obsessed with you
Torete torete torete sa'yo
You are my obsession
Torete torete ako sa iyo
I am obsessed with you

Mas tinatangkilik kasi yung bago kesa sa original eh. Ang ganda pa naman nito. Ansarap balik balikan. lasang caramel
@jepoydelmonte1123

@teodorogarcia8598
Ang layu ng bagu kesa dito basta torete accel bisa tlga
@seaslug7421
Thorethe yung bago e
@chakchakaa
my punto ka jan... kaya nakakapagtataka talaga... :(
@joeblack7326
Lol sikat na sikat to dati. Lahat ng bandang may female vocalist, kasama lagi to sa playlist nila. It doesn't mean mas tinangkilik yung pabebe version ni Moira, it just means na it is a different time and era nung ni revive to at ginawang movie soundtrack. This original version had its time. Yung kay Moira nga laos na agad ngayon eh haha.
@grimm00002
Iba na kasi ang era ngayon: manalo ka lang sa TV, nasa youtube ka lang, sikat ka na. Samantalang ang mga artists na gumawa ng timeless classics gaya neto, their art reverberates across time. Siguro blessed lang din ako na kahit wala na siya sa Moonstar 88, I've seen Acel perform live. Ibang klase, ang galing...
@crystalix2690
true mas nakakamiss tong panahon na to unlike now mag vlog ka lang at magustuhan ng tao yong vlog mo sisikat kana..
@cheloarce1439
Naloka ako sa reverberates. Napatingin ako sa dictionary hahaha. Well you have a point. Nothing beats the classic ones. Mas prefer ko parin mga old school songs. Even using mp3 way back 2016 and now na may smart phone na ko mp3 converter naman hahaha. 😁🤪
@poybash20
Just watched her perform her live last night at Makati. Finally, na-hug at nakapag papicture pa ko sa childhood crush ko. 💙
