This is my favorite Eraserheads song simply because it's the most mysterious. The wordplay is beautiful but the meaning is deeply hidden. The best theory that I came up with though is the fact that this song is an allegory for the most notorious ongoing territorial dispute in human history - Ownership of the Holy Land... Palestine (If you're not familiar with it, there are tons of resources on the internet). Long story short, Palestine was divided between 2 disputing parties - The State of Palestine (mostly Islamic) and The State of Israel (mostly Jewish). Anyway, the best parts of the song that somehow suggest this are: "Sometimes you win Sometimes you fail" - The endless Palestinian-Israeli conflict "Choose holy blood Choose holy grail" - A reference to the most famous Jewish-born Palestinian in human history (si Jesus, malamang). "And now at last Just two of us" - Self-Explanatory "Only one chair Who will sit there? Is it the king? Or is it the heir? It never ends" - I get goosebumps in this part. Especially due to the fact that what happened to the disputing parties is EXACTLY what happens to the last 2 contestants in a game of Musical Chairs. The suspiciously RED chair in the music video also possibly represents the land that they're fighting for... albeit, bloodstained. Crazy huh? We may never know what it really means... but that's the most fun part of listening to Eraserheads songs. They tend to have more depth than you would initially think.
It's 2021, if you're here, you're a legend. edited: it's 2022!!! who's going to their reunion concert this coming December 22? see you team bronze hehe
Sometimes you win, sometimes you fail. Choose holy blood, lose holy grail. Just when you think you've gone so far, you'll find yourself back to the start. 😲
Eraserheads may have been ahead of my time but listening to their songs makes no difference no matter what the timeline is. They are what I can call as one of the rarest real Pinoy music. They are a legend to Philippine Rock music . Every song is a classic ride. I LOVE YOU E-HEADS!!
Sometimes you win, sometimes you fail. Choose holy blood, lose holy grail. Just when you think you've gone so far, you'll find yourself back to the start. that line alone Agree. best pinoy lyricist, indeed
We are part of the Gen Z, mostly born in the late 2000's. But HECK, I KNOW MANY DUDES IN MY AGE WHO GREW UP AND STILL ROCK WITH THE ERASERHEADS SONGS. E-Heads are too gold
1999 baby here buti nakaabot sa 90's kid. Maliit pa ako puro kanta na ng EHEADS pumapasok sa taenga ko kaya kabisado ko mga lyrics kahit di ko pa kilala yung banda na 'to. Sobrang solid ng mga kanta, thankful ako may mga nalikha silang kanta na pwedeng balik balikan. pakinggan mo lang ibabalik ka na sa kabataan. Nostalgic sa pandinig bawat kumpas. Isa 'to sa may magandang meaning. Long live legends
Open your door Dance on the floor Hey what's your name?

Brilliant yung video.. as simple as it get... tatak Eheads. Pero talagang ang malupet eh yung melody at lyrics nung song..... Batang 70s... teen nung 80s... listener nung 90s.... medyo critic na tayo ngayon... so far the best pop-rock OPM I've ever known.
maraming guests sa Fruitcake album, alam ko si FrancisM and Evil Step Sisters, Medwin ng Truefaith at Rico lahat ng keys ata si Rico tumugtog. Pati yung kapatid ni Ely alam ko kasama din sa album.

Salamat po sa trivia sir! ☺
For me, it's all about psychedelic drugs. ;)
Sabi nga ng eheads sa isang interview nila... their songs could mean anything to anybody...
Even Spolarium
It's 2021, if you're here, you're a legend.

I used to listen to this. This song is popular here in indonesia
Wow Very Nice Eraserheads is World Class Band
God Bless Indonesia :)
Sometimes you win, sometimes you fail. Choose holy blood, lose holy grail. Just when you think you've gone so far, you'll find yourself back to the start. 😲
Eraserheads may have been ahead of my time but listening to their songs makes no difference no matter what the timeline is. They are what I can call as one of the rarest real Pinoy music. They are a legend to Philippine Rock music . Every song is a classic ride. I LOVE YOU E-HEADS!!
well said, my exact sentiments :)
True
Well, art is subjective :)
True
True
Ely is the best pinoy lyricist
Best frontman :)
Rico Blanco is the best in my own opinion.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you fail. Choose holy blood, lose holy grail. Just when you think you've gone so far, you'll find yourself back to the start.
that line alone
Agree. best pinoy lyricist, indeed
Mobile legend bang bang
Rico Blanco*
Do we all realize na majority titos na ngayon ang nakaka appreciate neto? Isa na ko dun. Haha. Putcha classic!
diyan ka nag kakamali ako bata pa pero na appriciate ko kanta nila heheehehe
2020 and I am still listening to this song to lightening my mood. Love from Indonesia.
Thanks bro for appreciating filipino band
Sama kita bray..jaman jaman nya mtv90an
Bron in 1982. And i belong in the 90s generation. The happiest time of my life.
Buddy's basslines are goddamn perfect
YEAH :)
Lalo na sa chorus ng LIGAYA
@@joshbernardo4360 pag pinakapakinggan ko Ligaya sa bass na ako nakikinig as in malupet.
@@annemendoza7479 Huling El Bimbo maganda rin bassline
My dad has this album and plays EVERY Christmas! Guess who are the second generation E-heads fans now?! 🤪Much love from Dubai!
Kht di christmas lagi kong pinapakinggan ung fruitcake album skl 😁
Same here! 😂😍
We are part of the Gen Z, mostly born in the late 2000's. But HECK, I KNOW MANY DUDES IN MY AGE WHO GREW UP AND STILL ROCK WITH THE ERASERHEADS SONGS. E-Heads are too gold
Eraserheads är verkligen helt underbara! Varför har jag inte upptäckt dem tidigare? Kanske för att de höll till på andra sidan jordklotet
Eraserheads known as "The Beatles of the Philippines". Without Eraserheads there will be Alternative Pinoy bands nowadays. Mabuhay ka Eraserheads!
Fun Fact: Backing Vocals: One is Rico Blanco 😎
It''s 2022 and if you're still here, you're mythic.
Lupet ng mga fillers ni Marcus dito lalo na sa chorus. Swak na swak! One of my fave.
Edit: Jan 2019 anyone? :)
mabuhay ang kabataan ng 90's...
Ely is the best song writer in the philippines. nothing can beat him.
yung style ng pag kanta nila para talagang BEATLES!!! paborito ko to ehhh👊👊👊👍
One of my favorite Eraserheads song!❣️ balikan ko to pag Engr nako haha.b
good luck. 💖

Open your door
Dance on the floor
Hey what's your name?
Let's play a game
Let it begin
Your head will spin
I am the champ
Come see me stomp
It never ends
It never ends
It never ends
Oh tell me do you wanna fly?
Fly high way up in the sky
Or maybe you don't even have to try
All you have to do is follow that star
But when the star doesn't shine
You won't be able to find your way
And the wiseman will still remain
The king of trip to Jerusalem
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you fail
Choose holy blood
Lose holy grail
Just when you think you've gone so far
You'll find yourself, back to the start
It never ends
It never ends
It never ends
Oh tell me do you wanna fly?
Fly high way up in the sky
Or maybe you don't even have to try
All you have to do is follow that star
But when the star doesn't shine
You won't be able to find your way
There won't be any other chance to be
The king of trip to Jerusalem
The music plays like a heavenly choir
Lovely chairs are there if you get tired
Don't listen to a word he says
He's just trying to distract you
Do your own thing
Stick with what you are
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Open your door
Dance on the floor
And now at last, just two of us
Only one chair, who will sit there?
Is it the king? or is it the heir?
It never ends
It never ends
It never ends
Oh tell me do you wanna fly?
Fly high way up in the sky
Or maybe you don't even have to try
All you have to do is follow that star
But when the star doesn't shine
You won't be able to find your way
The only thing that we can do is pray
On a trip to Jerusalem
On a trip to Jerusalem
On a trip to Jerusalem
On a trip to Jerusalem
2022 is there still listening?
One of their mysterious songs
I love how ely make lyrics out of something.
Kahit sino pa makilala ko na artist at band wala e babalik at babalik pa din puso ko sa kanila.Isa sa magandang kanta ng eheads!
Brilliant yung video.. as simple as it get... tatak Eheads.
Pero talagang ang malupet eh yung melody at lyrics nung song.....
Batang 70s... teen nung 80s... listener nung 90s.... medyo critic na tayo ngayon... so far the best pop-rock OPM I've ever known.
Rico and Ely has different styles in writting songs. Trivia: Rico Blanco contributed to this song, He was a guest musician...
Bigla ko namiss eheads
And marcus' guitar adlibs have always been great in their songs.. Somewhat adds to their signature sound. I'm a fan since ultraelectro days!
