Last Sunday around noon, as i was scanning the channels for something to watch I accidentally got on a local station here where the artists paid tribute to Francis M.'s legacy.
Four of the most acclaimed singers sang one Francis M.'s most played song : Kaleidoscope World. And these are the lyrics:
Four of the most acclaimed singers sang one Francis M.'s most played song : Kaleidoscope World. And these are the lyrics:
Kaleidoscope World
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
We can easily see what he wants to say with his song (and with his other songs as well). He wants everyone to have equality, to help each other, to live better through a good interpersonal relationship.
As they started singing the song, tears easily flowed on my pale cheeks. I can't help but cry. Even though I only knew him as an artist and a showbiz personality, I just can't accept the fact that he was gone. He was such a great man.
In fact, this family opened his wake to the public so his fans can see him for the last time. But I'm glad to know that Pia, his wife, is showing a picture of strength for their children despite it all.
Another thing that showed how Francis was much loved by the music industry was that, even MTV made a their logo dedicated to him.
It was still a very sad moment.
He will be cremated this day, March 11, 2009.
