The Molecular Cloner by Mark IR Petalcorin This is an attempt to write music using the technical terms from the textbooks. I've heard songs that portray a certain profession such as "The Boxer", "The Piano Man", "The Guitar Man" (etc.), which make me want to write something on less common topics for a song like "The Real Estate Agent" or "The Plumber" or any other profession. I know that the lyrics in this song do not follow the usual words that most people hear everyday, but I often wonder ...

This song, which I thought previously as romantic, is actually written by a son for his father after his father died. I sometimes just want to listen to slow songs like this with an acoustic guitar as the main accompaniment for relaxation especially after a hard days work. Bread (David Gates) cover - Everything I Own Bread, comprised of long-time studio musicians, producers and songwriters who came together for a few years, (They were the biggest selling pop group in 1971), and disbanded in ...

Together As Always by Mark IR Petalcorin I wrote and made this song more than a decade ago (1994) and that was the year when I had to go abroad and be separated from my family and friends. This was also the song that the Osaka Gaidai international foreign students sang as a choral group to their foster families, teachers and friends in a graduation/leaving-do and get-together sort of event. I just have no time to record it until recently when I saw some videos in youtube doing a one-man band ...

I like the classical tone of this song, which became very popular before I was born. This is quite an oldie but has a distinctive melodic line attracting listeners' attention due to the seemingly familiar tune. Procol Harum cover - A Whiter Shade of Pale With its haunting tone and Johann Sebastian Bach flavouring (both provided by Hammond organist Matthew Fisher), vocals by Gary Brooker, and unusual lyrics by Keith Reid, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" reached #1 in several countries when released ...

Kurt Kaiser cover - Pass It On It only takes a spark to get a fire going, And soon all those around, Can warm up in its glowing. That's how it is with God's love, Once you've experienced it, You spread His love to everyone, You want to pass it on. What a wondrous time is spring, When all the trees are budding, The birds begin to sing, The flowers start their blooming, That's how it is with God's love, Once you've experienced it, You want to sing, It's fresh like spring, You want to pass it ...

Here is my acoustic guitar rendition of an inspiring hymnal song. I normally play this song as an instrumental (guitar only) without vocals, but in this case I attempted to put vocals and put across the inspiring message of a beautiful song. Hymn / Cat Stevens cover - Morning Has Broken "Morning Has Broken" is a popular and well-known Christian hymn and is often sung in children's services. Pop and folk singer Cat Stevens included an acoustic version on his 1971 album Teaser and the Firecat ...

I like the great melody and the unique graphic description of being caught between the moon and New York City. Probably would sound a lot better with a piano accompaniment, but could sound equally good with just an acoustic guitar...I attempted to try fingerstyle guitar plucking with vocals for this song. Christopher Cross cover - Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) - It took four song writers (Peter Allen, Burt Bacharach, Christopher Cross and Carole Bayer Sager) to create this song ...

Ring Hero by Mark IR Petalcorin (Lyrics and Music). I've written this song on the eve of the boxing bout between Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. A week after the Pacquiao-Cotto event, I arranged, sang and home-recorded this song. The next biggest event in boxing sports history will be the clash between the two best pound-for-pound champions of the world: Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao, perhaps next year. Watch out for this interesting boxing event! For more of my original ...

Paradise by Mark IR Petalcorin. I've written this song a long time ago, while imagining a beautiful and pristine beach. Paradise could have lots of meaning to every person depending on an individual, but I reckon everybody wants to be there. Featured here are the islands of Boracay and Carabao (a bigger island just beside Boracay), where I visited last year. Check out the home recorded version of this song at www.myspace.com

Just Ordinary Life by Mark IR Petalcorin. This is the acoustic version of an original song I wrote a few years ago. I was probably reflecting at that time the wisdom of the Ecclesiastes writer on the vanity of life..."For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?" At the end of the day, we're all just passing by, but we shall never pass this way again. Check out ...
