My Favorite OPM Songs of 2011: #4 Parokya ni Edgar and Happy Sy - Pangarap Lang Kita

I haven't really been a fan of Parokya ni Edgar's song till this song of theirs came out middle of this year! I just love the tune and the interplay between the band and Happy Sy. That the song is also sang in Mandarin just shows how globalized everything is right now!

The Best OPM Song Yet This Year: Parokya Ni Edgar's Pangarap Lang Kita

I haven't actually warmed up to the music of Parokya ni Edgar, although they've been producing hits for years now and a very loyal following. That is, until I heard their new song! Entitled Pangarap Lang Kita, this hit, is in my opinion, the best song that has come out of OPM this year. It has a beautiful melody arranged as a duet, and although the lyrics are a bit of a downer, it is frank and brutal. Nothing like unrequited love to tug at the heartstrings!
