Singer/Songwriter William Elvin release the follow up for
his indie album “The Musicalienation of William Elvin” last June 8 at the
Taumbayan Bar in Quezon City. The second album with 9 tracks is entitled
“Sacred/Profane/Mundane”.
Elvin is known as the songwriter for the theater musical
“Mula Sa Buwan” and was base in Hongkong for many years working in an
advertising company. His first home grown and independently produce album was
release in the late 2000’s, and from then he gains some following and tag as
poetic, soulful and propulsively melodic.
During the launch, Elvin said that he miss his indie roots,
and he don’t consider producing his album with the help of a major label, he
prefer to release it on his own style.
“The first thing I value as an artist is the freedom, even
If I could have talk to some people, but the music industry now is very much
different, parang if you don’t have a steady following na automatically bibili
ng gawa mo, di ka rin mabilis na masi-sign or ma-produce ka, that’s number 1.
Number 2 is I could have partner with some producers, but the thing is as
writer, as a artist, but I want the freedom of doing things without as much
voices outside as possible.” Elvin said.
Sacred/Profane/Mundane
is a collection of songs personally written by Elvin with the help of some
Filipino artist base in Hongkong, there are songs as a tribute to some friends
and mostly inspired by some sad stories. Elvin influences range from The
Beatles, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer and Ben Folds.
“I wrote my emotional songs when I’m sad, I think its normal for artist to be more inspired,
kumbaga mas may power minsan, mas powerful ang sadness, I get more inspired
from sad stories from other people, even its not my own experience, I find
power in sad stories.” Elvin explains.

Are you the kind of person that always looks to see what kind of expensive your neighbor's kid is playing? Or are you worried about what your friends are making as far as their salary? Not happy in your marriage, friendships, or not being satisfied with what you have at the moment? Some people are wondering, why despite the fact that I am just a stay-at-home mother and a not-so-full-time photographer, we are still able to manage to go through the day to day lives being happy and having no (or at times with quite a few) debts from other people. It's just a matter of perspective actually. You need to learn the art of contentment. Being content is not being driven by always wanting more. I know that ambition is a prized trait in our society. I am not saying that ambition is wrong. What I am saying is that the constant striving for more and not enjoying what you have or where you are at the moment will drive you crazy. Things do and will change. Have the at...
I was at a beautiful wedding recently, and I had a small moment of revelation about the meaning of wearing a wedding ring. It’s not an exaggeration to say that my understanding was turned completely upside down. Today I Found Out the history and symbolism behind the tradition of wearing a wedding ring and why, in most western cultures, it’s worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, otherwise known as the ring finger.

The circle was the symbol of eternity, with no beginning or end, not only to the Egyptians, but many other ancient cult...
