Neocolours
Neocolours was formed 1988, out of the remnants of a mid-1980s vocal group, in Manila, Philippines. Founding members were: Jimmy Antiporda (keyboards), Ito Rapadas (vocalist), Marvin Querido (2nd keyboards), Josel Jimenez (guitar), Paku Herrera (bass) and Nino Regalado (drums). At that time the pop music genre in the Philippines was dominated by solo singers. Neocolours filled in the pop music void with the release of their first album, Making It in 1989. The said album reached platinum sales, and helped usher in a new era in the Philippine recording industry that is now known as the early 1990s band explosion.
The second album Tuloy Pa Rin came out in 1990, and created more hit singles for the band. It similarly reached platinum status and cemented several tracks as classic "OPM" songs to this day. The band, however, reached a plateau with the relatively poor sales of the third album Truth and Consequence in 1992. Various founding members made their exit in 1991 and 1992. Josel Jimenez was the first one to leave in 1991 and returned to his hometown of Davao City. Jack Rufo replaced him. Marvin Querido similarly decided to leave in 1992, and pursued a career as a session keyboardist and musical arranger. With the varying interests of the members and a dip in public interest the band, the remaining members agreed to retire the name in 1994.

No Colours
by: ExiliaSomebody told me the world should be free
With no religion
Wondering who, wondering where it began
I need some shelter
Facing the lies, wondering who made the choice to cast
The first stone
I need to breathe
I need some oxygen
I need to breathe
I need some oxygen
I cannot breathe anymore
Wake up
Somebody dies while somebody eats
It's just a sentence,
Did someone laugh while someone else disappeares?
It's just a question,
Don't need a flag, don't need a flag to belong
No colours for my world
No colours for my world
No colours for my world
Somebody gave me a reason to live
With just his passion
Wondering where, wondering who built the cage
I need some shelter
Follow the line, just wondering who made the choice to
cast
The first stone
I need to breathe
I need some oxygen
I need ti breathe
I need some oxygen
I cannot breathe anymore
Wake up
Somebody dies while somebody eats
It's just a sentence,
Did someone laugh while someone else disappeares?
It's just a question,
Don't need a flag, don't need a flag to belong
No colours for my world
No colours for my world
No colours for my world
Wake up, wake up, it's all around you so
Wake up, wake up, it's all about you
Wake up, wake up, it's all around you so
Wake up, wake up, it's about what you ignore
Wake up
Somebody dies while somebody eats
It's just a sentence,
Did someone laugh while someone else disappeares?
It's just a question,
Don't need a flag, don't need a flag to belong
No colours for my world
No colours for my world
