Ang Huling El Bimbo
-is a rock ballad by Pinoy rock group Eraserheads from their 1995 album Cutterpillow as well as their international album Aloha Milkyway. Aside from the usual band instruments the group used, the song features a synthesizer along with a piano. The song, narrated in the first person, tells the story of a man's unrequited feelings for his childhood friend, whose life came to a tragic end.
The song won MTV Asia Viewer's Choice Award at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1997, making the Eraserheads the first Filipino artists to win the award.
Eraserheads' songs usually tells us the usual happening in us "youngsters". From the typical love story to the broken hearts experiences that most of us can relate to it. What's nice about this song is that it tackles reality and much more on Philippine scenario and culture.
One friend of mine, says that when she heard this song, it took her back to the past. She usually remember someone because this what happened to them. Knowing each other in a dance. Fall in love together but the girl was left alone without a single explanations. " Sa panaginip nalang pala kita maisasayaw", as she always expressed.
There are different interpretations of this song but the real meaning of songs are the feelings that you felt during the time when you heard it.
