Peniel was my former Senior High School classmate. She was so expressive and exceptional in creative writing. No doubt, her pieces are on quality. She literally followed a poet's path as she make songs for real. May God bless her!!!
poet's path There’s a feeling in my chest I know it There’s a beating of a heart in between I may sigh and waver At the sound of the anchor But I ride the waves everyday There’s a spark under ash and amber There’s a human in the curse of routine I may flinch but I savor Every touch you offer 'Cause I’m ‘lone with my skin far away I’ll take the poet’s path any day If it means I get to challenge the fates There’s a place for clean cut sinners There’s a home where I’d fit ‘til I bleed I may cry for lovers Their romantic summers But I test how much lonely I’d take I’m not sure of the life I had before this I’m sure I loved and I walked on my feet So warm, fleeting Wrenching, deceiving Trade ceilings for the skies back in the days I’ll take the poet’s path any day If it means I get to challenge the fates Lyrical in nature to ask you to stay Literary means of passing away Present feeling Is sadness seeping And what’s more fleeting Than happy leaving There’s a feeling in my chest I know it There’s a beating of a heart in between There’s a feeling in my chest I know it I know it I know it There’s a beating of a heart in between There’s a feeling in my chest I know it I feel it I feel it There’s a feeling in my chest I know it There's a feeling in my chest I know it I feel it Oh I feel it There's a feeling in my chest I know it I feel it Oh I feel it I’d take the poet’s path any day I’d take the poet’s path
Thank you tito for the lyrics! Nakaiyak ko gamay while listening to the song hahaha. I love this song so much. Peniel is very talented and has a unique genre in music. You, tita and Ella must be very proud of her! I pray that she will win! God bless po 😁💕
The female contestants are stepping it up a notch. I mean what more could you ask for? Their genres are at the opposite sides of the spectrum and I AM LOVING IT. Mei is giving goth vibes while Miss Ma'am Peniel here sounds like a Disney princess in real life. She would be perfect for Broadway and should go international. SIGN BOTH OF THEM PLEASE!!! It's time we deviate from the typical OPM songs and experiment with something new to give to the Philippine audience. WE STAN THESE TALENTED QUEENS. Give them the views they deserve to win. CURRENT ME AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE WINNERS: CONGRATULATIONS TO PENIEL 😭😭😭😭 THE PRIDE OF DAVAO THE FUTURE OF OPM 😭 WE'RE SO PROUD AAAAHHHH
Miss Roxas reminds me of Norwwgian singer Aurora Aksens or simply Aurora. Both of them have such enchanting voices that would teleport us to a magical dream world. These types of singers are remarkable and true gems. Miss Tevez has also arrested my attention for her music with a bit of a dark flavor. They really are brilliant. More songs from you, please.
As writer myself, this hit too close to home on how my relationship with my art is. I relate so much on using my pain as a tool on creating stories and paintings, trying so hard to find the details in an excruciating routine of everyday because what the hell is life than just a big circle of trying. Pen captured the insanity of pushing yourself to the limit because in the back of your head you know you can use it as core for your song or as an emotional anchor for that script you’re writing. Such a painfully beautiful track accompanied by a hauntingly calm voice. Definetely rooting for you, Pen!
gogogo Peniel!!! what a talented young lady! no matter what happens pls continue to write and sing your songs. You are a gift to the Philippine music industry. God bless you.
Metaphorically speaking, the music transported me in a field of flowers on a clear early warm day. The flowers swayed and danced in the cool breeze as my face felt the pleasant rays of the sun. I am ecstatic and mesmerized by the sound. As it comes to a halt, I open my eyes and yearn for more... Kudos! More music to come.
First time I heard her with this masterpiece she has penned was on the grand finals itself, 11/7/2021. Very, very enchanting, I must say! Sounds like an ancient Celtic folk music that is drawing the listener into a mythical and mystical realm where the colors of summer shift into autumn constantly. I feel like I'm in a dream or trance that I don't want to wake up from in spite and despite of the melancholia that slightly shrouds it. Her voice reminds me of Norwegian singer Aurora and Canadian singer-song writer Loreena Mc Kennit- very, very soothing and enthralling.
Type ako ng type ng "there's a feeling in my chest and i know it" sa google walang lumalabas huhu tagal ko din hinanap 'tong kanta na ito. Ngayon alam ko na title, pwede ko na mapakinggan kahit anong oras kahit hindi sa radyo. Sarap sa tenga pakinggan❤️💕
You gave us the feeling of treading on a poet's path. Oh what lovely path it is. 🥺✨ Thank you for granting us your wonderful song, Peniel. Thank you for telling the stories of all artists, human beings hoping to navigate their journey. "I'd take the poet's path any day, if it means I get to challenge the fates." Oh, so beautiful. 😭
I love your voice. The first time I heard you was from your Manila cover. I knew from there that I will love your music. Will be looking forward to hear more of you works.
Congrat's Peniel! I was right that you were the strongest contender, all finalists brought their A game, and surprised us in different manners but your performance touched my soul
You nailed It Peniel! huhu I like your songsssss. Waiting for more compositions! Thank you WISH for discovering such talent, Thank God for you as an instrument to help anyone to let their talent shine! To God be the Glory!
TRIVIA This Dabawenyo just turned 20 last May. She loves cats, Camp Rock and High School Musical. She was editor-in-chief for 2 years in the school's The Quill and was Top 2 as she completed junior high school. With songwriting, she only started around 14 years old and usually falls under the genre of folk or folk-alternative. She likes writing songs that fit soundtracks. Some see her as the girl version of UNIQUE. Her favorite lines: "Mama once told me of villains who roam the world with their pockets full of paper and gold" ("Stories" - Weekly Winning Song) "The rules were simple, slick and clean, the walls were thin --I couldn’t breathe But suddenly I saw A crack on the wall" ("Prayer" - Monthly Winning Song) Experts' comments to "Stories" "...wow..2 chords is part of her attack, her art..unorthodox..just singing with her eyes closed..it transcends to me very much. I was moved...flipside...it's hard to keep this genre..this will not be the national anthem or pop song of the year BUT this is one in a million like Billie Eilish, Bjork " - Monty of Mayonnaise "..YOUR GUITAR IS OUT OF TUNE but it works with the song because the song is so eerie. She's just playing 2 chords the whole song but you don't notice it because you're so caught up in what she's saying. It keeps you attached to the song even her look. It's well thought of. I love how it's just monotone colors..message is very important because not too many people would want to write about this. You're very daring...Thank you for doing this. You are inspiring me. I am learning from you from this song, wow! Bravo! This is my first time to see an artist that plays guitar and it's out of tune but still pleasing to the ear. " - Jay R, King of R&B "It fits the voice, even the outfit. It is like an innocent with a lot of pent-up emotions that wants to say something to the world...I think I know what your mindset is. I feel the story. It is effective. You got my attention. I really like that you tried expressing your thoughts...very different " - hitmaker Jungee Marcelo Experts' comments to "Prayer" "Again, you are AMAZING! Your voice is so angelic...i'm a big fan of you. You always used 2 chords but your creativity with your melodies..make the song very interesting. Lyrically, it's so deep and open ended. Listener will really be curious and think..." - Jay R, King of R&B "Wow, this is different again..you blended with time signature mixed meters..it's brave to do that. Melody escalates...reminds me like musical play...Rodgers and Hammerstein's melodic leaps"- hitmaker Jungee Marcelo "...I was just in awe..very deep lyrics and emotional performance..." - Monty of Mayonnaise
It somehow took me somewhere in a different world which I never experienced. It took me sometime to realise I was actually magnified by her voice and the message of her song. I was amazingly floating.
Reminds me the sound of a procession of the holy and the sacred. Her music can fill a church with words that are poetic and wise! She be our priestess, and we, her devotees!
poet's path There’s a feeling in my chest I know it There’s a beating of a heart in between I may sigh and waver At the sound of the anchor But I ride the waves everyday There’s a spark under ash and amber There’s a human in the curse of routine I may flinch but I savor Every touch you offer 'Cause I’m ‘lone with my skin far away I’ll take the poet’s path any day If it means I get to challenge the fates There’s a place for clean cut sinners There’s a home where I’d fit ‘til I bleed I may cry for lovers Their romantic summers But I test how much lonely I’d take I’m not sure of the life I had before this I’m sure I loved and I walked on my feet So warm, fleeting Wrenching, deceiving Trade ceilings for the skies back in the days I’ll take the poet’s path any day If it means I get to challenge the fates Lyrical in nature to ask you to stay Literary means of passing away Present feeling Is sadness seeping And what’s more fleeting Than happy leaving There’s a feeling in my chest I know it There’s a beating of a heart in between There’s a feeling in my chest I know it I know it I know it There’s a beating of a heart in between There’s a feeling in my chest I know it I feel it I feel it There’s a feeling in my chest I know it There's a feeling in my chest I know it I feel it Oh I feel it There's a feeling in my chest I know it I feel it Oh I feel it I’d take the poet’s path any day I’d take the poet’s path
Speaking of rainy days, I'm thinking of the lifestyle tv show from The Lifestyle Channel, now The Metro Channel. The tv show is The Delicious Miss Dahl which is incorporated with poetry reading and reciting. It's so refreshing and endearing. It also reminds me of Bollywood actor Aamir Khan's art house movie titled Dhobi Ghat, which is one of my favorite movie of his. You can keep on guessing what the facial expressions and body languages void the dialogs mean. Same thing with this song and maybe when you look at a picture and you make interpretations on what you see on the picture and beyond it. INFJs and INFPs will surely love and relish this kaleidescope.
What a deep message from a talented artist, it is like she expresses her feelings as one who makes songs artistically and she feels it in her chest like she feels her music inside her naturally
I remember the vibe of Beautiful Things by Gungor in this masterpiece and it speaks to me as a poet, congrats to the winning piece and the Grand Champion!
eong vibe pa is like pag bumibilis ang mundo, you can use this song to make the world move slower. Congratulations, thanks sa music mo, time is slower na :)
