Orange & Lemons | Clem Castro Being Totally Honest about Pinoy Ako | The Story Behind the Hit | OG

Orange & Lemons | Clem Castro Being Totally Honest about Pinoy Ako | The Story Behind the Hit | OG
There's always that one song the band hates. Especially when that song was born out of popular demand and does not resonate with the band. Orange & Lemons' frontman Clem Castro gives us a genuine and straightforward POV as he FINALLY opens up about Pinoy Ako. Listen in and take the hints as to why he never liked the song.
In this interview Clem talks about:
• The story behind this official theme song of Pinoy Big Brother
• Almost regretting doing the song
• The stressful process of delivering the song
• The band and their fame
• How the song made them and broke them
• The controversy they faced because of the song
• Why he makes music and his hopes and dreams for his kind of sound
Spotify profile:
Orange & Lemons is a Filipino indie pop/alternative rock band formed in 1999 by singer-songwriter/guitarist Clem Castro along with drummer Ace Del Mundo and his brother JM del Mundo on bass. Former member, Mcoy Fundales served as the second vocalist since its formation until its last reception in 2007. The group's musical genre's been a mix of alternative rock, indie pop and experimental music and heavily influenced by several well-respected bands in different generations like The Smiths, The Beatles and the Eraserheads.
The band had released three several albums and gained commercial success with their sophomore album Strike Whilst the Iron Is Hot released in 2005, reaching double platinum status. Their last album Moonlane Gardens was hailed Album of the Year in the 2007 NU Rock Awards.
The group parted ways in 2007 due to musical differences. Following the band's break up several members formed their own groups. Mcoy Fundales formed Kenyo alongside JM and Ace del Mundo. While Clementine formed his own indie group The Camerawalls and later on released a solo album under the name Dragonfly Collector.
In July 2017 after 10 years on hiatus, the band announced a reformation as a trio and released the single Lovers Go, Lovers Come in December 2017. To commemorate the 15th Anniversary of their debut album, O&L released a 2018 Updated Version of their debut album Love in the Land of Rubber Shoes & Dirty Ice Cream (15th Anniversary Edition) on June 8, 2018.

I listened to OnL way back 2017 when I was reminiscing their classic hits and I can attest to Clem's claim. This band is beyond Pinoy Ako and their other hits. May soul yung music nila if you give it a go and became my go-to music whenever I go on long travels or long traffics haha. Sadly, plagiarized or not, Pinoy Ako undermined their good music. People are quick to latch on to 1 mistake rather than 1000 good deeds. One fact about musicians is that they listen to A LOT of music to influence theirs. They subconsciously create melodies similar to bands which they were listening to. Madalas mangyari to, that's why you often hear bands being influenced by another and have similar genres of music. May mga cases din where bands were sued for plagiarism pero when you go deeper in the music structure, magkaibang-magkaiba. Also great video! Mabuhay Clem and OnL with their new music!

[@concerneddoge9013]

For those still wondering whether its plagiarized or influence and what not, I suggest looking into this video that gave a case by case analysis of music plagiarism. It's not as black and white as you may think! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHnbZJ9sftpnbc0

Ian Broudie, the dude who wrote Chandeliers, is very proprietary of his songs. Took a long while before he allowed the songs he wrote for other artists to get onto streaming platforms. His ex bandmate from The Care, Paul Simpson, isn't even allowed to sing live some of the band's songs. This local band is lucky that this shenanigan flew under Broudie's radar.

my opinion on it yes i agree with you even on letting just intro at least 30 percent of intro be the same maybe for sure could it be just a give a way ... let us listening to eheads song alapaap if I'm just not mistaken there is part of it is definitely close the same from foreign song particularly a very popular intro of it... ✌️

[@MrFranksterling]

I appreciate Orange and Lemons' musicality, but I am definitely sure "Pinoy Ako" issue is not just a matter of sampling as Clem Castro would claim. Yes, notes may be different, may even be in a different key, but you can't ignore the melody. It's taking the entire song, tweaking some notes here and there (because it's in Filipino lyrics) but the overall feel is the same. Definitely, not sampling. But good for you, there weren't any massive lawsuits or something.

[@rafaelsison5874]

[@JamesReubenGruta]

Kalokohan yang sampling na yan 😂 kaya nga 1 day nya lang ginawa melody kasi kinopya e. I understand though since its a commercial project pero what a shame. Intro riff plang ang alam na e

[@sonicobsessions947]

This has the same case with the verb bitter sweet symphony sampling a rolling stones song. in sampling you steal need to clear out the recording company and legal rights to it. Also sampling is like remixing and incorporating a part of an exisiting song to your own song. Maybe it's an interpolation like when the 1975 has a blatant song that sounded like joy division's disorder but pitched up. Different melody but same backbone. He's arguments is like The ice ice baby bass part is not from Queens under pressure due to the way the riff is plyed but still a same chord. Still love listening to orange and lemons and will forever be part of may nostalgia.

[@bizbobizbo82]

Yeah I mean ok, it happened years ago but when it happens more than once there's a problem. Another OAL song titled The Beginning of something is very similar to House martins- happy hour. Sampling like what triphop bands do is they use the "exact" record then they play with it from fast tempo to slow, layer of beats etc. In this case the melody was plagiarized and not once. I know that Clem is a big fan of this kind music and artist like Ian Broudie, Morrissey etc and so am I that's why it's a bit off with this issue. I know that he can make better and original melodies just like the other songs, and from time to time I still listen to OAL and Camera walls. Still power on Clem.

I am still confused with your alibis, just say that you blew it by copying the Care's Chandelier due to a very tight deadline. Still, big respect for you as a composer.

[@waranghira]

And it's not like it was just the intro that's similar. Verse, too. But he did a phenomenal original chorus; and that is by far the main hook of the song.

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

"Sampling" is the method of taking a piece of a song, getting the original artist's permission, giving them credit and paying them for royalties. He probably thought: No one knows about an old song from a disbanded group from the UK in the early 80s. Let's plagiarize it.

[@TheGentleCreepers]

Sir Clem thank you and to the rest of the band. To Sir JM, Sir Ace, Sir Jared and also Sir Mcoy for giving me the pleasure of experiencing music that gives me drive and sense of what it feels like to be alive. Thank you so much for being a part of my life. Orange & Lemons for life!!! 🥰🍊🍋🍋🍋

[@Ace_Cordero]

kaya nga. haha

[@bisayangdds4744]

Mcoy Fundales may be the voice but Clem Castro was behind for most of the songs. Parang mas madaling kumanta kaysa gumawa at mag-isip ng kanta. Are you familiar with The Camerawalls and The Dragonfly Collector and heard their songs? As for the intro of the entire melody comparable to Care’s “Chandeliers”, normal lang ‘yan sa music at selective process yan. It may be familiar to those who already have heard “Chandeliers” pero sa majority na hindi pa naririnig ito, hindi pa tama? Try listening to the intro of Switchfoot’s “Dark Horses”; it is comparable to Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away” 👌 Nagkaroon ba ng issue sa end ni Lenny Kravitz? Dyan kasi pumapasok yung musical style and influences sa paggawa ng melody, pogi.

[@nashranoa5279]

hehehe, tama how can you call it original kung meron ka ng pinagkunang melody and ikaw narin nagsabi na meron ng lyrics, sana sinabi mo nalang na REMAKE, or CO-WRITER ka, wag mong angkinin lahat ng credits, just saying dude.

[@siadechained9473]

Orange and Lemons became a hit becoz of McCoy's voice. Not to mention the publicity brought about by the PBB franchise..idagdag pa yung issue sa plags. Hands-down sa ibang compo ni Clem though.

[@bisayangdds4744]

@@siadechained9473 Yes Mcoy’s voice is good pero without a good songwriter like Clem, wala din ang boses. Look at Kenyo (Mcoy’s band after Orange and Lemons disbanded), nilangaw sila with the “Radio Surfing” album, puro covers lang ginawa nila Mcoy at Del Mundo brothers. Hindi kumita at nilangaw lang talaga sila comparing to Clem’s success with The Camerawalls. 👌 You haven’t heard of The Camerawalls ‘no?

[@JasperSadiangabay]

It would have been ok if they admitted to plagiarizing because of time pressure to produce the song. Especially that ABS-CBN is a big company and PBB was a big show. But to say that it was original and had only "little" similarities is BS. He goes on to say that the intro is different because of one note and let's say that was a coincidence. But how do you explain the melody of the verse? The rhythm? the drum pattern? There are so many similarities to say it was just a coincidence. Here is the original song. Listen to it before you reply kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKPbnWCuhLN_fs0

To start of, Im not a fan of the band. Not even a friend. Im a musician and I really understand where they’re coming from. You are right kaya di na lang sila pinagsalita ng abogado kasi issue pa lalo. That can cost them more. That’s on the business side. But prior dun sa sinabi nya jan. He took an inspiration. Notice he Mentioned that but di na nagkwento pa sa prosesong un. Coz he really did. And the fact that this is supposed to be for a commercial client. At that point di nya naman inisip na that song would blow up. And the fact rin na madalian sa deadline. Think of it this way yes he really did used a little melody of the song and also the intro. But it ain’t his fault why the record company didn’t just admit it that it was a “sample” . They could have paid a considerable price if only they cleared it. Kaso na this is Philippines and the company is cleary want to keep all the $ for themselves, ayun. They went silent. Pero pag nilaban to sa korte, sa usaping “intellectual property rights” there is a big chance na matatalo sila dito. Dito sa video nya it just clearly showed na di na talaga pinagsasalita about the real deal. But in a musicians stand point. This is something out of “inspiration”. “Sampling” kumbaga if you’re taking a part of a song then adding your touch on it.

[@windsedge9303]

Okay if ever it was "copied" as some haters are saying in this comment. Pero bakit ang "Harana" ng Parokya Ni Edgar, hindi naman sila ang nagsulat ng original kung hindi si Eric Yaptangco? And even "Your Song" from the same band, alam ko taga La Salle Lipa ang original composer nun. May legal suit ba na humabol sa kanila the fact na local-local yan?

It's a commercial jingle for some tv show so to me, it's not really reflective of their band's catalog. I wasn't even surprised to know that it took a lot of inspiration from other songs because most show theme songs from ABS do too. Unfortunately, it got too big because 'masa' ate that song up thinking it was a 'real' song from that band. They sampled the song. Hiphop's been doing that forever. The publisher of the sampled song didn't even care to sue. People should just get over it.

[@begamitomoto8717]

[@LB-li4qu]

bsta ako, dati pa onl na..hnd pa nagawa ang pinoy ako pro fan na ko ng bandang to...naalala ko mga year 2004 pa,3rd yer hayskul ako...

[@TruthHurts01]

I think its like the intro of " Ice ice baby" by vanilla Ice and "Under Pressure " by Queen, kinda similar. The song got really big it becomes almost a ffight song for the new generation of Pinoys. Sadly it turns out to be too similar (the intro, progression, verse etc.) And being accused of plagiarism. I still liked the song though. I hope the O L band will make a equally popular If not more popular " pinoy fight song'" in the very near future. Good Luck to Orange Lemon Band.

Pinoy Ako was not even my favorite on that album i always skip that song while listening on their Disc. it feels that it doesn't Fit the Theme of that album.. i'll always be a Fan of O & L. hands down

[@judetuanzon3453]

So until now pala di niya inaamin na kinuha niya ang melody sa Diamonds and Emeralds. Sad.

[@javisigu4386]

Own it bro! Magaling kayo. Pero yung Pinoy Ako kinopya yan. Hindi porket di nag demanda “not a big deal.” Again magaling kayo… Just take responsibility. Orange and Lemons for Diamonds and Emeralds by the Care.

[@paolofabian876]

Just now. Everything is clear to me what really happened why the band broke up macoy wants to make pop hits for the people clem wasn't simple as that. well actually this is a common issue of bands

[@ruzcelbeltran]

At the end of the day we enjoy the song a lot of non musician lang naman yung nakiki sawsaw sa ganyang issue Di ako maniniwala sa mga nakiki batikos na hindi sila naki sing along sa kanta na yan haha

[@rigormortiz9114]

Haters gonna hate. Alapaap nga inspired sa "Its shame about ray" Lemonheads at "Reach" ng pale fountain pero wala naman nag rereact. 😂 Madaming mas magandang kanta OnL kesa sa Pinoy ako.

[@windsedge9303]

Sa totoo lang kapag nag play ang "Pinoy Ako" sa iPod ko back in HS, automatic skip 'yan dahil pang masa. Walang sinabi yan sa Heaven Knows (This Angel Has Flown)

[@rlmalonzo1184]

[@FredDavao]

The least he could have done is acknowledge Ian Broudie of The Care. Difficult to deny the song is way too similar to Chandeliers. Intro, chorus even the style of vocalization.

[@romanalo1978]

Interesting! Never knew the story behind that popular song. Napapunta tuloy ako Spotify to listen to Orange and Lemons bigla 😁

[@arkimusiclover]

pakingan mo rin yung THE CARE 😊

[@kyu8669]

there are so many filipino songs that was tagalized from original songs from other countries or even not as directly translated like parokya ni edgar's "Ordertaker", which they called a chopsuey parody mash up, they arent calleod out for plagiarism. They still sold it as their own work though. And if it's really a big deal, why does pbb still use it? it's actually played for too long

[@ernestgoodboy632]

.aminado kasi silang di kanila yung kanta kaya nga PARODY eh sila kasi inangkin nila eh kahit alam nilang hindi kanila eh

[@WildTukTukAdventurePhilippines]

iba naman yng sa parokya kasi yun naman talaga yun.. iniba lang lyrics

Copied and plagiarized,period.

Pinoy ako is pure copy from chandeliers by the care

[@ewananoto]

"it took me a day to WORK on the MELODY AND ARRANGEMENTS..." Guys, listen to Chandeliers by The Care. i'm not tryna hate or sumn but taking credits for something u didn't do? oops teka, nakalimutan ko, pinoy nga pala ang may "gawa"

Karamihan nga ng opm ngayon puro gaya at cover. Ok lng yan na may katnog at least nagustuhan ng tao at minahal yong kanta. Isa na ako don, hanggang ngayon pinapatugtog ko parin
