what am i living 4 ? * Eddie Peregrina

[ras3497]

Sumikat si EP through the JA and the Brambles. Recorded and revived some international hits like "Lotta Lovin", "What am I living for", "Will you still love me tomorrow" and many more. When the Brambles separated, he formed his own band, the Blinkers. He was introduced to George Canseco and thus born his immortal locally composed hits like "Since you've been gone", "Memories of our dreams", and many more. That's all I can say. I know EP for we both with the Brambles before we separated.

[ras3497]

This song was first recorded by Eddie while he was still connected with the Jessie Alora and the Brambles. The band was disbanded in 1967. Eddie formed his own group known as The Blinkers and made the correct revision on the lyrics, Instead of "it's", the word "if" was used. Eddie died through car accident in 1970.

[frankuto47]

@llamado23,....pare ko ' dehins tayo racist just expressing my info about sino talaga ang nagpasikat nitong awit na 'to.... fun lang ako ng mga soul singers noong mga panahon ko !.... i've lived in detroit late seventies, and thats the reason i've found out ! ....anyways, its nice meeting you her !....saan ka ba base ?

[ALEXBALUYOT]

I think he said "if it's not for you."

[frankuto47]

AKALA KO PA NAMAN ORIG NIYA 'TONG SONG NA 'TO NOONG ININTRO SA PINAS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY NOT. .... SI SOLOMON BURKE ANG NAG PASIMULA NG VERSION NA ITO !!! ISANG NOGNOG !!!... PERO OKAY ANG NAGAWA NI EDDIE SA VERSION NIYA .... GOD BLESS THEM BOTH !!!

[prettygretchen0996]

i like did song... for my mother...

[pakantotmiss]

It should be "What am I living for? Ebs not for you!"

[iluvsmusic53]

i am so glad you all like it. i love it.

[alogito]

I don't think this pinoy realized or read the words to this song. But his singing is ok.

"What am i living for... IT'S (?) not for you! funny! As everyone knows, it is: "IF not for you! = meaning living for HER!!!!! Oh well, he tried!

[carolpolpol]

So I grew up listening to  their music and what great meaningful music that was and hits anybody right in the heart. Mabuhay ang musikang pilipino!!!♥♥♥ Thank you for posting such memorable music and thank you YouTube

[justmusicandme]

Good Chuck Willis cover - Everly Brothers version is my favorite!

[DeltaForce305]

[puto143a]

Nasaan na kaya si Eddie Peregrina? ni hindi man lamang siya mag-guest sa mga tv show kahit minsan

[renan62ph]

ngeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! ! ! di ka pa yata pinanganak namatay na si Eddie Peregrina.

[calisitan]

@renan62ph cge tukso nlang

[soundtank]

matagal ng patay si eddie. nung 1977 pa.

[Gcole200]

can anyone put the lyrics pls,really nice song,!!!!

[vmcb1]

what am i living 4...of cors naman your sweathear the one u feel in... ur puso...your luvs one ng k cares sa iyo ...loko..haaah got u baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KyandiiAyShin]

I remeber my mom plays this song so much when i was little lol xD except it was the Tagalog lyrics. xD she still plays it!

and also Imelda.<3

[patnac4]

The comments are hilarious! Specially about the transcription of the lyrics ~What am I living for, it's not for you (should be "if" not "it's")~ and the grammar lessons. Very entertaining. Full of memories of simple living in Pinas. Being "baduy" was cool when life was not as complicated as today. People are more contented with simple things like the Pinoy blues music by EP, and Victor Wood. Mabuhay kayo mga kabayan!

[redsoil5]

@patnac4 Tama ka jan,pero hindi lang Mga Pinoy composers o singers ang nagkakamali sa grammar.Yung title na kanta na "If I saw you in heaven",should have been "If I see you in Heaven".

[philip2go]

@redsoil5 tama naman siya....e yun nga mga kanta ng egoy wala kang maintindihan... puro mura at sigaw nabibili... tsk tsk tsk panahon nga naman?

E kung magrecord kaya ako ng lahat ng ire at tunog ng utot, singa, dahak, pururot, suka at bp... ha ha ha

[Mib50]

@patnac4 think you´re right,it´s IF...

and so it gives the song full another meaning...

and we can´t ask Mr. Percy Sledge,for me he´s the original  singer of this song...

maybe i´m wrong,than sorry... ;-)

btw,like the songs of EP & VW,too...you can believe me...

[mariadownes]

i used to listen to Eddie when i was just a teens and brought back fond memories of the past .his song lives on forever......What am I living for my children ........mdownes Pensacola florida

[vcajeras]

This music is very memorable for me. My parents are a big fans of Eddie Peregrina. I grew up with this music that played early in the morning. I remebered those days in my life and until now playing in youtube. Although eddie died long time ago but his music are still alive. Thanks for uploading this music in youtube...Oldies enjoy it!

[DonEnyo]

...tapos medyo may hawig pa...parehong singkit at smol but teribol...hehehe!

[DonEnyo]

medyo mgkatunog nga sila ng voces....hmmm...lols..!!!

[mariamilon]

otsenre55

Uyyyy ang ganda naman ng kanta handog ko 'yan kay alenng letty na taga-bundok, nawawala kasi ang antok n'ya kapag naririnig ang kantang 'yan!

[DonEnyo]

ano kaya mga repapips, subukan kaya ni ArnelPineda icover yong mga songs ni EP at gawing rock...ok siguro...yeah!!!

[prescillameis]

hahahahaha patay tayo dyan,,, hahahaha

[patnac4]

My Gosh DonEnyo, I never thought I'll see your comments here. I usually see your comments at AP vids y'know. I was laughing my ass off reading your comments on AP & EP. What brought me here? I got curious because an old vid of AP singing "Listen to your Heart" at MAD got comments that he sounded like EP. Sali ka sa amin sa PGF an AP site!

[DonEnyo]

i'm so honored for the invite, salamat patnac... but i'm already a member ....'tho i prefer to post comments in yt.... i visit two of AP's sites frequently, reason why i get to see his vids.

[DonEnyo]

...e di sana may pang laban na tayo na int'l rockstar noon pa....nevertheless, the pinoy masa loved him and his songs dearly!!!

[DonEnyo]

back in the days, i hate to admit that i admire EP's songs becoz it's kinda bakya or baduy like guy&pip, Vi&bot etc....lols...and i don't want to be labelled like it so i kept it to myself, but hearing EP's renditions again this time...wow it sounded good and classic...a lil mishandling on the mgt side maybe...he could have focused on rock songs w/c best suits his voice so as not to identified w/ the b4 so-called bakya or baduy grp of artistas daw...!

[pinayvi]

thank you eddie i will never forget you "what am i living for without my jeff"

[mymig88]

nyee.. pinagtatalunan p kc eh..

[akasnam]

dat's wat wi kol, "ridyonal depekt" gets mo?

[ghineve]

sayang siya napakagaling panaman niya thank u eddie sa memories mo

[spacej0ckey]

Bakit pa ako nabubuhay  kung hindi para sa iyo.......

[jsaragona]

yan na naman ung guitarist/drummer/organ-pianis­t.. mahusay talaga.. eddie p sayang natepok agad,, buhay pa kaya ung drummer/guitarist/organist ni eddie p? magaling..

[TennisKing100]

you are all wrong eddie peregrina did'nt write this song. This is a Ray Charles original.... and the lyrics is correct... what am i living for if not for you. This is a blues song people.

[all4juan]

pero parang ang dinig ko..."it's not for you." Di ba parang mali: :What am I living for... IT'S not for you" Dapat "if not for you"?

[mindtravellers]

HIndi ba "why am i living for"?

[fdimasalang]

Is concerned. Well at any rate, I would be inclined to accept the expression without getting too much excited about what the purists might say. It would be difficult to substitute another phrasing that would be as succint and one that would carry the same meaning, You might perhaps say "If not for you" but certainly that does not give the same meaning, as interpreted by the same singer...

So right or wrong! 5 Stars for you for a job well done...Thank you!!

[fdimasalang]

I used 2 sing this song when I was a 5th grade student at LES wayback in d late 60's or early 70's, and it was also then at that time when this song came out & became a hit in D local music Ind. But in no instance however, can I recall that I did say or use D words, It's w/c means It is or Its w/c means "Belonging 2 it" as a substitute 4 D word "IF" everytime I use 2 sing it. Coz nobody in his right mind would care 2 think of using these words as a replacement 4 D word "if" as far as this phrase

[oca6]

naalala kong kumakanta si mama manuel sa baloling nong akoy bata pa. and hearing this song, parang siya ang kumakanta talaga.

[mavsuarez]

"what am i living for? it's not for you". nagbibiro ba si eddie peregrina?

[guyching]

dapat "if not for you." pero para ngang it´s not for you. lol!

[Alvinfame]

nice, wow, wew, nindot jud kaau ai..

[forthorton]

"it's not for you"--seriously, it's not for you. Ha ha...I dig it.

[lennix74]

hapit maguba ang plaka sige ug balik-balik ug patukar ani sa akong lola sa Cebu....gimingaw kaayo ko niya....Grüß from Germany....

[302acr43]

Naaalaala ko ang aking Tita Nini sa awiting ito. Habang nakikinig siya kay Eddie Peregrina. Nagagalit naman ang Lolo ko. Kasi ang damit niya paalis ay mini skirt. Sabi nang Lolo ko, nagkulang ba sa tela ang mananahi, he, he, he

[crashdata]

lolz..that made me laugh

[IAKIZabuza]

Back in cebu I hated this kinda stuff thanks to my mom playing it over and over, after I came to sweden I can't get enough of it though.

[itongitang]

[lazer2wave]

[claycmi]

I was 16 when Eddie sang this song. I found him a world from me. I was in the USA, and he in the PI. I found his songs, and no other Filipino songs would do for me. It had to be Eddie Peregrina for me. No other songs would do. God bless you Eddie.

[claycmi]

What am I living for, if not for you, baby, nobody else will do. I want you all the time, because I love you so.

[lulzak]

Yess..i remember again iwas 18 years old i think..:)TFS
