Gabe BondocIf you can sing, you just got that much more attractive to me. Play an instrument as well? Automatic cool points. You compose your own music and write your own lyrics, too? Marry me.

I stumbled upon Gabe Bondoc on YouTube almost three years ago and it’s amazing to see someone who was already so good, get better. He has mad guitar skills, is a great storyteller through his lyrics, and has such a smooth, versatile voice. He can belt it out or flow just as well, and he never disappoints.

I subscribed for his originals, but his covers are just as enticing. And because of his dope delivery and musical style, I confess, Gabe Bondoc is my official YouTube crush.

Here’s a taste of his lyrical smoothness and storytelling in my favorite original of his called “Sober”:

Trip. One. Four. Welcome to the first installment of Wednesday’s Confessionals. As we all know, Valentine’s Day is on the fourteenth of February. Way to state the obvious, right? Well, I love this “holiday,” but what’s love got to do with it? Nothing. It’s all about the chocolates. Believe it or not, I get more candy and chocolate on Valentine’s Day than Halloween (because I buy and send them to myself). It’s awesome. I’m awesome – be jealous.

Okay, now it’s time to get un-jealous-ed. Because despite all the chocolate and flowers I may receive, I confess, I will most likely spend this Valentine’s Day alone.

Wednesday’s Confessionals (WeFess)

Wednesday’s Confessionals (WeFess) – I’m starting a new string of posts dedicated to “that one song” that reminds us of a certain place, incident, or person that happened in our lives. Every Wednesday, I will post and share a different song with you. I will focus more on the particular song than the overall artist. I’m doing so because unlike my regular posts, not only will I post a song, but I will confess a story (most likely an embarrassing anecdote) to go along with it. Each week will have a new topic and confession. Indeed, our pain will be your entertainment. Also, I apologize in advance for all the randomness that may occur, and please, don’t be frightened by the songs posted on WeFess. They won’t bite. Promise.
