Controversy [link]

Senator Vicente Sotto III called for the banning of "Alapaap"'s airplay, claiming that the song is drug oriented. The band, however, replied to the allegations through a letter to the lawmaker.

Last Two Performance [link]

The band performed the song in their historical reunion concert last August 30, 2008 as an opening song.

The band last performed the song in their "Final Set" concert last March 7, 2009 wherein they played the song in a different rendition.

Notes [link]

  • The intro of the song is used as the melody for "Whole Lotta Lovin'", a song by the late rap singer Francis Magalona.
  • One may think that the song is about a deceased person in the heavens who's inviting his friend to join him. Perhaps what lead to the drug allegations of the song was the line "masdan mo ang aking mata" ("notice my eyes").

Alapaap

by: Eraserheads

May isang umaga, na tayo'y magsasama
Haya at halina sa alapaap
O, anong sarap, haa...
Hanggang sa dulo ng mundo
Hanggang maubos ang ubo
Hanggang gumulong ang luha
Hanggang mahulog ang tala
Chorus:
Masdan mo ang aking mata
'Di mo ba nakikita
Ako ngayo'y lumilipad at nasa langit na
Gusto mo bang sumama?
Hindi mo na kailangan ang magtago't mahiya
Hindi mo na kailangan humanap ng iba
Kalimutan lang muna
Ang lahat ng problema
Huminga ka ng malalim at tayo'y lalarga na
Handa na bang gumala
Adlib:
Pap-pa-rap... pap-pa-rap-pa.
Pa pa pa pa (papapapa...)
La-la-la... oooh hoo hoo...
Ang daming bawal sa mundo
(Ang daming bawal sa mundo)
Sinasakal nila tayo
(Sinasakal nila tayo)
Buksan ang puso at isipan
(Buksan ang puso at isipan)
Paliparin ang kamalayan
(Paliparin)
Chorus 2:
Masdan mo ang aking mata
'Di mo ba nakikita
Ako'y lumilipad at nasa alapaap na
Gusto mo bang sumama?
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
Gusto mo bang (gusto mo bang)
