Check out the new Rivermaya!

After some crucial member changes to managerial problems to legal issues, Rivermaya is back!

To prove that they are still one of the the best bands in the country, the enduring Rivermaya has released their new music video “Remenis” off the album “Closest Thing to Heaven”.

Watch the music video here:

From old Rivermaya to the latest incarnation of Rivermaya. To be honest the last album, Closest Thing to Heaven, is a great Album. People should start looking past Rivermaya being Rico Blanco’s band. These guys have written good music for the past two albums with Blanco and they deserve a lot better.

Mark Escueta’s drumwork on Closest Thing to Heaven and Buhay is something I really enjoy listening to. As it turns out, he gets sole credit in writing this song as well!

Remenis by Rivermaya Lyrics

Ano ang kulay ng paglimot?
Isasalin ko sana sa bughaw na nadarama
Naghahabi ng paghilom
Buhay natin ang tema
Alaala ang tinta

Simple lang ang buhay noon
Lahat ng bagay abot ng ‘sang kamay
Himbing natin gintong nakaraan
Paminsan-minsan lamang balikan

Isipin mo nalang may taong wala ng meron ka
Pero sumasabay sa ikot ng mundo
Sekreto ng buhay ay wala sa mga tala
Muli nating balikan ang simula

Sayang, Hanggang remenis na lang
Sayang, Hanggang remenis na lang

Tama nang sisihan
Lahat nama’y nagkulang sa
Kanya-kanyang paningin
Kanya-kanyang paningin
Hawak mo ang mahiwagang alas
Sasama ka ba o kusang aatras

Simple lang ang buhay ngayon
Manalig ka, Diyos lang ang siyang gabay
Gintong pangako

Sayang, Hanggang remenis na lang
Sayang, Hanggang remenis na lang

Isipan mo nalang may taong wala ng meron ka
Pero sumasabay sa ikot ng mundo
Sekreto ng buhay, nasa tibay ng samahang
Sinimulan
Inaalagaan
Pinaninindigan
Muli nating balikan ang simula
