THE SEVENTH DAWN-LETTERMEN/Capitol Records

Seen this movie almost 4x when I was a kid and I began to like the movies of William Holden, like "The Bridge Of The River Kwai." But it was Charlton Heston who dominated the big screen with all his epic saga movies such as "El Cid", "Ben-Hur", "Khartoum", 55 Days At Peking", "Major Dundee","Soylent Green", "Omega Man", "Planet Of The Apes" and "The Ten Commandments." At that time the Philippine airwaves are dominated by Elvis Presley,The Beatles (Rock and Roll) and The Lettermen with all their mellow hits including this piece of inspirational song. Although this is not the original soundtrack of the movie, I decided to incorporate the sounds of the Lettermen to this unforgettable war movie of 1964 because in my own belief, it was tailor fit with the said movie that happened in Southeast Asia after World war II.
Great are those days, that you even go to movie house in Paete just saying "I need to get back in there, I wasn't able to finish the movie last night." or sometimes you will reason out, you'll just look for your mother who's inside the theater that night. And it always happened when there are problems with the projector, everybody will shout out: "Andres, give us our money back. How many times have we told you not to sleep during work time!"
That's how we get back to our past, that's how easy life is before. Gone are those days when we just paid 5 pesos for 2 movies (English/Tagalog). Now. 160 pesos for "Transformer 2" movies, which surely cost a lot. What more if you watch it on IMAX with the rest of your family to watch it with you? P2,000 is not enough, not to mention taking them some place else to eat after. That's probably one of the reasons why reliving the past feels so good. How about you? Will you ever wonder if the good old days will be with you always? Well, just get an mp3 or a cd of your past favorites and play it along with you. Somehow, you can go back to memory lanes, go back with The Lettermen love songs and feel at peace with the world. Try it.
