“With a Smile” by Eraserheads. (Audio edited by: Junice Mae Cuizon)

Eraserheads is one of the most popular Rock band of all-time in the Philippines and they are well recognized in Asia by the late 90’s. “With a Smile” is one of their greatest hits and one of the most popular song of all-time in the country. For me, “With a Smile” by Eraserheads represent myself and connected to my life. I hide all my problems behind my smile. Behind my smile is a world of pain. They think they know me, but they have no idea. I’m sad, hurt, angry,mad, and disappointed because my family left me alone. But I’ll put on a smile and move on. It will hurt, but I will survive. My family was a great lesson. The song is all about a guy who is comforting a girl for having a tough situation in life and that guy is my long-time boyfriend who ever made me smile and always there for me through ups and down. We can offer this song as a comfort to a friend or love ones who’s also having a tough situation.
