Looking back: "No Words" by Randy Santiago

Today I was at LaSalle Greenhills to sing with Mass Appeal for Bro. Rolly Dizon and at the simple reception outside the LSGH Chapel, I was delighted to see Randy Santiago again.  I've only "worked" with him once - on a song I wrote for his brother Raymart who had then asked me to write a song for Claudine as a gift to his bride-to-be.  And so I took a trip down memory lane today as a result running into Randy...

I spoke to Raymart before writing this song, interviewed him about his relationship, how they met and so on and what message he had for her.  It was difficult to draw anything out of him.  He was more of the silent type, but I could definitely feel the love he had for his fiancee.  He spoke clearly about the day he first saw Claudine and the things he loved about her.  But what message did he have for her?  That part was left to me.

And so this is the song I came up with.  I think it's a song that expresses how a lot of men feel, and I bet this is something they all wish their girlfriends and wives would understand.  Well, if you're one of those silent guys challenged in the love expression department, go ahead and play this for your loved one.
