My Favorite Songs

 BROKEN CD

by beabadoobee

Broken CD is my top-tier song because it talks about the heartbreak that I had to endure during those days were I was not feeling myself. Every time I try to date other guys, it always reminds me of the day that I and my ex met (DUMAYO PA AKO PARA SAU BAKSSSssss). My favorite lyric of the song is "Don't think I'm over it like I always said I was" since it symbolizes me when my friends are asking me if I have moved on, debunking the allegations about how I can't move on from that experience. But, deep inside, I'm still a petty.

RISES THE MOON 

by Liana Flores

Rises the Moon is also a favorite pick of mine, at first, because of its melody that makes it so soothing. A friend explained to me that this song is about the challenges that we're facing every day and assures us that we will experience comfort and it is also giving hope to the people. Ever since he said it, I just realized it because of the lyric "Days pull you down just like a sinking ship, floating is getting harder". The problem represents the sinking ship because sometimes if we haven't resolved this problem immediately, we tend to have a difficult time getting back on track.

4TH OF JULY

by Sufjan Stevens  

Sufjan Stevens' "4th of July" is a song about the composer's sorrow after losing a loved one. I have a Lola, we call her "Mamang", who I didn't meet personally, died of breast cancer. After she passed away, my mom realized that she was pregnant with me. From my perspective, this is the song playing in my parents' heads after she left because Mamang also departed during a holiday. The most relatavle lyric of this song is "And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best though it never felt right". Death is inevitable and we can just accept the events whether we agree or disagree with it.
