One very popular song is “Patay na si Uto”, composed by Oliver Narag and interpreted by Nyoy Volante, himself a singer-songwriter. “I’m grateful na sa dinami-rami ng singers sa ating music industry, ako ang napili to do this wonderful song,” says Nyoy, who’s a newlywed to theatre actress Mikkie Bradshaw. Nyoy will soon appear doing the lead role of Frankie Valli in the local stage version of the hit Broadway musical, “The Jersey Boys”.
“Patay na si Uto” is about a guy who is “uto-uto” to his girlfriend. But he has since realized that his girlfriend is just using him and has already replaced him someone else. So now that he’s heartbroken, he declares in his song that Uto, his former self, is now dead. We’re sure a lot of people who become blind to the faults and shortcomings of their loved ones and just give in to everything they want will be able to identify with the song well.
