Following the success of the band’s album ‘Suntok sa buwan’, sessiOnroad releases their 3rd album ‘Bakit hindi?’
The group formed sometime in 1999 and in due course established themselves a highly regarded live band from all over the country. Armed with a musical odyssey from playing an extensive gig circuit, sessiOnroad delivers an album genuinely collaborated and composed, such that it features song writing from all its five members.
‘Bakit hindi?’ the recording reflects the band’s current tone in their respective personal lives, and presents their music in a series of gritty and catchy sequences ranging from pop songs to obscure poetry readings. The songs are uplifting, relaxed and upbeat, giving praise and humility to their current triumph, or the lack there of.
The album was written shortly after 2005 and was recorded quite swiftly as offered by their prevailing label Alpha Music Corporation. Although much could be addressed on how the songs are recorded, the band ultimately decided on keeping the tracks simple, sincere and straightforward. Each song has its identity as members overtly assert in coming up with materials and ideas that contemplates what’s instinctive in their nature.
sessiOnroad extends to a deliberate identity where music is played with a bittersweet spirit, yet embracing enough to speak of truth, sprinkling it with a vibrant insight on our everyday life. Folded, unfolding, moody and invariably surprising, sessiOnroad’s music takes yet another turn to the basic dilemmas of life. Imperfection seems all the more important since it leads to creation… and music conveyed with a passion that is worth life in itself is the direct result of the album’s contents. From trivial sounds to blush worthy lines, sessiOnroad remains true to their calling. The sound is intangible, but truly hearing it beyond its hurts and smiles is a spiritual communion… something that eternally shifts and changes and why not? - In good faith, that’s what we all live for.

as you turn away from me
im secretly hoping
that you'd come around
and break the spell on me
it seems like its fading
the fire between us
now you left me questioning
chorus:
and i feel so lonely side
oh with the pieces of
the loving ways, we cried
and i feel so empty
now you've gone and
took away my pride
why can't you reach out for me?
you're pulling me under
where the darkness blinds
the world right out of me
i feel like im trembling
my knees are shaking
cause i know theres something you're not telling me

The song "Cold" by Session Road starts off with the singer being hopeful as he watches his love interest turn away from him. He wishes that she would come back to "break the spell" that is causing the distance between them. However, he realizes that the love between them has faded away and he is left feeling lonely and questioning what went wrong.
The chorus reinforces this feeling of loneliness and emptiness that the singer feels after his love interest has left. He feels as though a part of him has been taken away and that he is left with only the memories of the love that they shared. He wonders why she can't reach out to him, and instead, she is pulling him further down into the darkness where he feels blinded and unable to see a way out.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of vulnerability and fear of the unknown. The singer is unsure of what is causing the distance between him and his love interest, and he is fearful that she is keeping something from him. This fear is evident in the line, "cause I know there's something you're not telling me." The use of the phrase "I feel like I'm trembling, my knees are shaking" also highlights the fear and uncertainty that the singer is experiencing.
Overall, "Cold" is a sad and emotional song that deals with the pain of a relationship ending and the aftermath that follows. The feelings of loneliness, emptiness, and fear are expressed beautifully through the lyrics and the music. It is a relatable song that speaks to anyone who has experienced the heartbreak of a failed relationship.
