'CHANGING AND GIVING WAYS'

For me, Changing and Giving Ways is one of most wonderful songs ever written. I love its narrative and the emotional intensity of it. Changing and Giving Ways was a Katha awardee (Best in Alternative Song) in 1998. The song made a known singer of Dawn Dineros. However, the Filipino people were not yet ready to accept alternative form of music, and Dineros’ singing career was cut short. She attempted to stage a comeback in 2002 through retrospective concerts but these didn’t do as much to revive her career. She had a duet with David Pomeranz, a revival of It Might Be You by Stephen Bishop.

Here is the video:

CHANGING AND GIVING WAYS
Singer: Dawn Dineros
Composer: Archie D'

Words simple as maybe
Yet honest passionate feelings can only come
From deep within a loving heart
And caring heart
Almost a decade, how long has it been

Refrain:
But time has failed to fade
Our love, the undying love
As it grows, fonder and stronger
I'm recollecting, awaking
Memories of the past

Chorus
Could I ever forget
Electrifying loving times
Shared in golden silence that only
Our hearts come throbbing and
As life slowly pass us by
While those childlike carefree youth
Are only bygones and love's greatness
Changing and giving ways

Coda
Changing and giving ways
Changing and giving ways
Ohh... ohh

When loving you from afar
How my heart desires your warm embrace
Burning kisses from your playful lips
Deep inside of me
All sweetness and tenderness
(repeat refrain)
(repeat chorus 2x)

Coda
Changing and giving ways
Changing and giving ways
Ohh... ohh
Lai lai lai
Changing and giving ways
