boybands











i was inspired to write abut this segment due to a dream i had last night. i saw myself watching a concert together with my sister and cousins. i was rather mesmerized because the band that was playing was the moffatts. for those who have never listened or encountered this band- well they were very popular in Asia and  Canada in the 90s. Although this band was packaged as boybands-they did play their own music and they wrote their own songs. well they are not rockbands and cannot be classified as such but to a 12 year old like me they were godsend during those days. hehehe. i am 23 years old now and got past the obsession. i was to enamored with their lead singer scott moffatt in the past, then suddenly i went to college and had forgotten all about them- at times i would even deny that i was a die hard fan in the past. i guess what im saying is that i woke up to a whole new me, i could not or i am having a hard time connecting with my past- it really is a dream.
i decided to write this page as my sort of honor page for this bands. well i know they are not exactly what you call music worthy or i am not claiming their music is superior when compared to dream theater. well they cannot even be compared or must not be compared. but well...well sort of an honor for accompanying me all this years. they bring this nostalgic part in me, something that perhaps would never come back.
there was no facebook or twitter, blogs when this bands got really popular. we only had tv and radio promotions and yet this bands were able to make an impression on us. well i know it was wrong when i got to obsessed with the moffatts in the past-but they did some great things in my life,  without even meeting them. I was surely thrilled to feel something heavenly and charming whenever i listen to their music or look at their photos- boybands give you something that real boys would not be able to give. how the heck would 12 year old boys my age in the past would be able to capture my attention those days...frankly i had a lot of good times memorizing their song and collecting their albums. sort of a hobby. looking back now, i have changed so much, this bands are now just a part of a distant past that only some people my age would be able to relate to. it was just fun you know dreaming about them. remembering who i was--and then seeing how my choices have changed. how  i now understand how silly and funny my daydreams were. hahahah...lol wala lang i just really wanted to pose something silly, funny,nostalgic and something that could cause trouble for me hahaha anyway deny it all you want but i know you did sing some of this boyband songs....backstreet boys, nsync, 911, gil ofarim, aaron carter, westlife. |A1
