Hello 6 readers, since I know most of you are related to me and/or Filipinos, you most likely know how to speak Filipino. So today, in this lovely Friday, I think you should listen to Up Dharma Down’s Anino.

I’ve always found Up Dharma Down’s music quite soothing and straightforwardly beautiful and this one is no exception.

Here are a few of the lines to make you think feel today.

Pagod na ang mga labi kahit wala pang sinasabi
Puro minsan na lang, nakapako sa aking isipan
Tahan na, umiiyak ka na naman
Hindi ba’t ikaw din ang papahid ng luhang yan

Hindi ka ba nag-sasawa sa tuwing titindig at titig sa salamin
Lahat ay nag-wakas, nakamtan ang kalayaan ko

Puro minsan na lang, nakapako sa aking isipan
Tahan na, umiiyak ka na naman
Hindi ba’t ikaw din ang papahid ng luhang yan

Hindi ka ba nag-sasawa sa tuwing titindig at titig sa salamin
Lahat ay nag-wakas, nakamtan ang kalayaan ko

It to me speaks of a tired heart but one that can’t help but going back. It knows the pain and that they only have themselves to pick them back up but it can’t help it. I don’t know, I really am a sucker for sad songs. Always have been, always will be.

So even if you just listen to the melody, try Up Dharma Down’s Anino today and feel what you need to feel.

What are you listening to this Friday?
