"Hindi ka ba nilalamig pag wala ang mga Tala?" -In my own interpretation, it is like asking How are you doing, without your friends/family/love ones. Are you doing fine even you are alone? Tala represents the one we love. As im pretty much sure that our lives will be dark without them. "Madilim ba ang mundo?" Deym! Knowing the depth of the song hits differently now. ❤️🩹 OFW here. 🤘🏼🥹 Rock on Lola Amour! ☔️
Im the one who left manila. But eversince umalis ako i knew, manila is my natural habitat. Ive never been so much alive in manila despite all the chaos. I loved the chaos. Loved the culture and its people. And im coming back to enjoy what’s left of my 20s kasi di ko na maiibabalik ang kabataan. The money is good outside but the stress is as equally bad.
This suits the families and friends for all OFWs and those who are overseas to study or pursue their careers. Leaving one’s home is never easy, though for some it may be temporary, there are those who finds their life in other soil and decides to settle for good. Undeniably, deep in their hearts THERE WILL BE NO PLACE LIKE HOME. Memories made remain truly alive in their hearts and minds as they reminisce their happy yesteryears. Bittersweet but for betterment. ❤
i'm always emotional when I'm listening on this song cause I'm moving to Australia and I know that there will be that day na makakalimutan na ako ng mga friends ko because years din ako mawawala sa Philippines and wala pa nga ako sa Australia alam ko na na mahirap so what if pa kaya if naka alis na ako? I really love this song! thank you for composing this Lola Amour!
I've been listening non-stop to this song. I'm not a Filipino but I have travelled your lovely country and I myself live outside my homeland, so the meaning of this song is very touching as well.
I always thought that "Rain or Ulan" in this song is a symbolism for Tears or Sadness. I thought "Maulan ba sa inyo pag bumubuhos dito" is you asking another person if they are also crying or sad just as much as you do. It also applies to the chorus "It's been raining in Manila, hindi ka ba nilalamig?" which is like saying "I am sad (or crying) right now, how about you? how do you feel". The lyrincs "Aahin ang ulan sa paradiso","Ngayon walang kahati ng init pag maulan", and "Sana naman tumigil na ang ulan" also hits harder for me thinking that "Ulan" means Tears or Sadness.
Ako bilang isang Brass Musician and arranger, Bahala na sila sa diskarte nila, kasi nga diskarte nila hehe... I also wrote not hundred percent translated in tagalog song which is entitled "Shes Gone" and I translated in tagalog song, but some understand the impact of the lyrics and some are not, although it is not hundred percent understandable to the original song but mostly will appreciate and subscribe and sing the song because its unique :-)...Just see the results..
Grabe anglalim pala ng meaning ng kantang ito! 😢❤ Mas maiintindihan at mararamdaman ko na ‘yung lyrics the next time na maririnig ko ulit ‘yung kanta. Genius! ❤️❤️
I am crying as I listened to him explaining bec its hitting hard. I have been away for 28 years now. I miss my barkada and the times we went through😢❤. Galing ng lyrics niya
Nung narealize ko ung meaning ng song. Pag kinakanta ko na sya nakakaramdam na ako ng lungkot close to tears. The song is soulful kahit na medyo pagkarock sya. Good job
ang ganda pala ng lyrics at the same time pwede din na para sa ldr. nakakalungkot lang na may mga bagay tayong kailangang iwanan dahil sa pag abot ng pangarap natin. maraming taong makakalimot sa atin pero sa pagbalik natin umaasa tayong makilala pa nila tayo ulit. the fact na yung ulan din ang nakuhang concept it enties with our emotion of being lonely and cold. sana sa mga mga kaibigan ko at mahal ko sabuhay na sakaling maiiwan ko sa pinas sana maging okay ang lahat para satin. at sa gf ko na pagkauwi ko ay maiharap na kita sa altar. salamat lola amour for this quality with duality of sorrow and happiness. mabuhay po kayo
Thanks for this music. OFW feels. I've been working here in Dubai for almost 20 years. I had clipped this song to my "my day" on FB when I was in Manila for vacation last May. It made me feel that i'm really at home while it's raining whereas in Dubai it is extremely dry and humid. I'm coming home soon for good Manila ❤
I just discovered this song accidentally 3 days ago and I've been playing this song every single day now. I love the feels and I can totally relate to it. I just moved recently here in QC, I left my Hometown (Camarines Sur)to chase my dreams and try my luck here.
After ko manood nitong Lyric Breakdown bigla kong namiss yung favorite kong pinsan na nag migrate na sa canada, nakakalungkot lang pero need kasi to grow separately. Thank you lola amour for this song!!
Kaya pala I feel really connected to the song even this wasn't released pa talaga. I'm so happy to know what is the meaning behind my new Lola Amour song (defeated Fallen lol). I feel sad too kasi I relate to the song kasi aalis na rin ako ng Pilipinas soon. This made me think what the people I will leave behind will feel and think which is very sad :(( Thanks to your music, Lola Amour!! You're the best and continue doing more masterpieces ✨ PS. Sana may song din about sa POV nung mga umalis (2) hehe
Exactly a year ago, I was supposed to meet a girl from Mindanao in Manila. I was full of hope that she would become my love, but she stood me up and didn't come to meet me. Due to the storm, instead of in Manila, I landed at Clark International Airport. When I arrived in Manila, it was still raining. I was very wet, but the rain was nice and warm. I had an amazing adventure and met many nice and helpful people. I didn't fall in love with a Filipina, but I did fall in love with the country of the Philippines. Hearing this song reminds me of my arrival in Manila and the loss I felt at the beginning. Greetings from Poland
The song hits harder now that I know the meaning and even harder knowing I relate to it because one of my best friends is leaving in a month and I already miss him...
WOW! Grabe. Ang ganda Ng groove kantang to. At Yung mga indirect lyrics. . Friendship song pala. Pero pwede din sa special someone I think. Ang galing. Ang galing! Mabuhay ang OPM! 🙌
I didn't know this was that deep oh my... Akala ko literal na raining lang bhe cause this was released while it was raining, I was the first few people to listen. Knowing the reasons behind the lines makes the song more you're like able to connect with it and I'm kinda relieved na it actually means much more. Thank you for putting the time and effort to convey your feelings in a rather upbeat song! You've done well ❤️
Living and working overseas for more than a decade now. Aside from Ph I lived in two other countries. I considered myself lucky for the experiences I had. I also consider myself blessed to have close friends I'll trust my life with. We still keep in touch. Some on a daily basis, in an active gc; some on an irregular basis--like every couple of months. One thing is the same though--it's as if yesterday we were still attending our class in our rundown uni in Sta. Mesa, or starting our careers in an accounting firm in Ayala, or celebrating our small wins in a cozy pub in Phnom Pehn. or sharing a bbq in their home's backyard in East London talking about life. This breakdown of Raining in Manila made me appreciate the close friends I have along the way. I could only hope and wish that we never grow apart such that we will no longer recognise each other, I would prefer not to start our conversation with 'how are you'. Cause if I do, do they really tell you how they are? :) Thanks for this Lola Amour! I'm a new fan and I'm immersing myself in your music for days now.
This hit me haaard 😭 I've been listening to the song since it came out and i didnt even know the meaning of the lyrics and i'm currently living and working new zealand since three months ago and i badly miss my friends and family that i left in the philippines and just hoping that i can come back soon and hug them tight 😣 This is gonna be my theme song now 🥰
It gives me nostalgia when I listen to this song for the first time. I miss everything in Manila it’s been 4 yrs since I migrate to another country it has deeper meaning to me also. We just need to accept the fact that we need to leave to pursue our dreams. It’s just wherever you still there’s no place like home. Thank you for making this song ❤
Grabe nagustuhan ko yung song kasi ang ganda ng tunog. Like literal naka on repeat siya for a week. Akala ko dahil lang talaga sa tag-ulan yung kanta. Tapos now nalaman ko yung breakdown habang ito nasa ibang bansa ako, yes in pursuit of a better life. Literal mag-isa at nanginginig. Huhu. Anyway. Ganda nung song legit 🥺♥️
It’s kills me when i first heard this because i moved in the UK and just got back to manila 2 weeks ago stayed there for only two weeks .. i am a manila Girl all my life .. when i landed in manila i posted the video of city hall of manila going back ti my place from the airport with the background of this song
In the beginning of your statement about the migrants that moved in the city from the province. it's exactly what it comes down to, sadness. I moved here sa US when I was 17 and left all my friends sa manila. It was the toughest time of my young days then. Yes, we moved to have the best opportunity but it does not mean that we forget what was left behind. Moving to another country comes at a price. And sometimes, you can never fill in the gap that is empty. Life moves forward and you have to make a decision of you are moving with it or not. I honestly do feel your explanation and it's emotional. after 24 years since I left, this song reminds me as if it was just yesterday. Great composition and best of all, your music touches the listeners. That's the best! Congrats! to you and your band.
Kudos! Lalo pang gumanda yung song because of this breakdown, u put into words the inexplicable feelings i got listening to it for the 1st time, thank you 🥺
Gagi I think I’m going to cry. I’m studying in europe for uni bumalik lang ako for summer, and I’m about to leave ulit in less than 2 weeks. It’s bitter sweet nga ksi you want to just be with your friends pero you can’t really stop them or yourself especially if you have an opportunity to better yourself. I sometimes wish na elem nalang ulit kmi to relive those carefree days, or even if I stayed nalang here to have drinks with them, to hear yung mga kwento nila. I am at a lost for words rn. I am sad, happy, thankful, and just a mess overall. Thank you for this. Sincerely limited edition european boy na humiga in front of versus. Inuman ulit bago ko umalis hahaha
Sobrang naka connect ako sa unang kinig ko dito. Naalala ko ung kaibogan ko na bglang umalis naiwan ako magisa. Nahirapan ako nun. tpos naiisip ko sya pag umuulan kasi nga madalas kmi magtambay sa ministop noon tpos umuulan pinagusapan nmen noon mga alien star mga tikbalang na kinakasal mga tao sa mundong to mga paulit ulit na routine sa buhay. Ngaun we grow apart.
Touching meaning of the song. The feeling of being left behind by a friend is as hurtful as having break-up with your partner. Sucks. I miss highschool and college friends, decades after magkita kita iba na Sila pero ako ganoon pa rin yun pagkamiss ko sa kanila, you can't help but wonder if ganon din ba Sila. I just keep it within me.
Sarap sa tenga, naalala ko boses ni unique kasama ang 4 of spades. Yung lyrics nakakawili pakinggan lalo yung chorus. kinakanta ko ito kahit mali lyrics ko 😂
well explained, i knew the first time i heard this song that it was influenced by city pop, as a a big fan of city pop i am very glad that city pop was emerging since the pandemic, kudos!
"Raining in Manila" has been on my Spotify's 'On Repeat' playlist. Love it SO MUCH. Thank you for the explanation! I've never thought that the meaning behind the beautiful lyrics was very relatable. Regards from Indonesia
kaya idol ko kayo eh! ‘di nyo lang natumbok gusto kong maiparating kahit di ko masabi, pero naiparamdam at naipakita n’yo rin yung emosyon na hindi ko maamin na nararamdaman ko na pala! i remember the time i first heard this in saguijo, and man, i just started to feel free yet renewed, and even revitalized after feeling my feelings through your songs!
Listened to the song and felt all of that! Just moved to the US 3 months ago (sepanx talaga from the people back at home). Glad you guys put up this video, validated my emotions haha, spot on with the song. Shoutout to Raymond, met him during the 2022 elections. Awesome guy.
very beautiful explanation which is very much appreciated for a non-tagalog speaker, so truly thank you! i don’t mean to take away from the nuances of this song and it’s connection to its filipino audience but the tragic beauty of this song is how so many people from all different backgrounds but with similar stories can heavily relate to this message - just truly powerful! 🫶
nghahanap pa naman ako ng song about missing your friends ngayong adulting stage na, yung need ng moral support from them pero wala layo layo naaa. yon eto na yong song ko for them. Namiss k n nman tuloy silaa
oh my gosh this made me cry so much cuz this happend to me😢 I moved to the states and i had this one friend i was so close to now i dont even know her anymore i just hope i just know she was still the same like i knew them before😢
Nung una ko marinig yan naiinis pa ko kasi parang pang lasing siya (sorry na ang judgmental ko haha) pero nito lang, narinig ko sya uli sa bus habang papuntang Manila kasi lilipat na ko at dito na titira para magtrabaho. Nakakarelate tuloy ako sa lyrics nitong kantang to. Masaya yung tugtog pero yung feelings na naeevoke ng kantang to ay lungkot at loneliness, and longing for someone and friends and family.
4:23 is a double-edged sword, kasi you don't have to deal with the problems your family and friends face in the Philippines but at the same time you want to help them and you can only do so much but not "physically" help them.
it is my first time listening to this kind of detailed explanation about the background and lyrics of the song. i love it. as someone who really loves music and really reads lyrics, i love the breakdown of the meaning of this song
I didn't even know I related to this song until this video. I was just singing it nonchalantly but while watching I do feel missing my old friends so much. woooofffff haha
I know the song is about old friends moving away for good but somehow i got a bit sad because it sounded like a friendship that was over. And you sometimes wonder if they think about you. I dunno that just parts hits me a lot because i had a friend that i had to end my friendship with them because i just told them my concern for them and they never bothered to reply back even after a couple months. It made me thought maybe im not as important to them as they are to me. But yeah that was just how the meaning of the song meant for me.
Honestly, I totally agree with the vocalist and I guess it's true especially to all of us who went to the big city to make it and then somehow, you ask someone back home how everything's going.
Raining in Manila ☔️

"Hindi ka ba nilalamig pag wala ang mga Tala?"
-In my own interpretation, it is like asking How are you doing, without your friends/family/love ones.
Are you doing fine even you are alone?
Tala represents the one we love. As im pretty much sure that our lives will be dark without them. "Madilim ba ang mundo?"
Deym! Knowing the depth of the song hits differently now. ❤️🩹
OFW here. 🤘🏼🥹 Rock on Lola Amour! ☔️
One of my closest friends left for Canada 2 years back. But we’re still brothers. Real Friendships last. Keep close with those friends!
Im the one who left manila. But eversince umalis ako i knew, manila is my natural habitat. Ive never been so much alive in manila despite all the chaos. I loved the chaos. Loved the culture and its people. And im coming back to enjoy what’s left of my 20s kasi di ko na maiibabalik ang kabataan. The money is good outside but the stress is as equally bad.
This suits the families and friends for all OFWs and those who are overseas to study or pursue their careers.

Undeniably, deep in their hearts THERE WILL BE NO PLACE LIKE HOME. Memories made remain truly alive in their hearts and minds as they reminisce their happy yesteryears. Bittersweet but for betterment. ❤
Also for those starting a new life or just starting their careers on their chosen fields
My fav part is "May kulang ba sa inyo na naiwan dito?" Hope I can see you guys soon 🥹🥹
What an incredible tribute to genuine friendships & growing up. Thank you for detailing and explaining. I teared up at work listening to this.
i'm always emotional when I'm listening on this song cause I'm moving to Australia and I know that there will be that day na makakalimutan na ako ng mga friends ko because years din ako mawawala sa Philippines and wala pa nga ako sa Australia alam ko na na mahirap so what if pa kaya if naka alis na ako? I really love this song! thank you for composing this Lola Amour!
Omg my ka-situationship is moving to AU as well after graduation. Di man ako ung aalis pero ako ung maiiwan. 😓
omg same 💀 right after hs graduation 😭😭
Its true

Well said
Song lyrics can be subjective naman.
a song is open in many interpretation. It is subjective
Ako bilang isang Brass Musician and arranger, Bahala na sila sa diskarte nila, kasi nga diskarte nila hehe... I also wrote not hundred percent translated in tagalog song which is entitled "Shes Gone" and I translated in tagalog song, but some understand the impact of the lyrics and some are not, although it is not hundred percent understandable to the original song but mostly will appreciate and subscribe and sing the song because its unique :-)...Just see the results..

I have been away for 28 years now. I miss my barkada and the times we went through😢❤. Galing ng lyrics niya
So glad to have found this song and great to hear his insight on the lyrics
Nung narealize ko ung meaning ng song. Pag kinakanta ko na sya nakakaramdam na ako ng lungkot close to tears. The song is soulful kahit na medyo pagkarock sya. Good job
Finally someone who understands the roots and content of city pop. Excellent. Well done.
Petition for 'Raining in Manila' to have a full English version 🤸🏻♀️❤️🥳

Yes please, Much love from Atlanta Ga USA!
Upping this.

ang ganda pala ng lyrics at the same time pwede din na para sa ldr. nakakalungkot lang na may mga bagay tayong kailangang iwanan dahil sa pag abot ng pangarap natin. maraming taong makakalimot sa atin pero sa pagbalik natin umaasa tayong makilala pa nila tayo ulit. the fact na yung ulan din ang nakuhang concept it enties with our emotion of being lonely and cold. sana sa mga mga kaibigan ko at mahal ko sabuhay na sakaling maiiwan ko sa pinas sana maging okay ang lahat para satin. at sa gf ko na pagkauwi ko ay maiharap na kita sa altar. salamat lola amour for this quality with duality of sorrow and happiness. mabuhay po kayo
damn. getting goosebumps. this is what music I really like. jolly but with hidden message. keep up. I hope for more songs from you.
Thanks for this music. OFW feels. I've been working here in Dubai for almost 20 years. I had clipped this song to my "my day" on FB when I was in Manila for vacation last May. It made me feel that i'm really at home while it's raining whereas in Dubai it is extremely dry and humid. I'm coming home soon for good Manila ❤
The part "May ulam ba sa inyo dahil ubos na dito." always hits the spot.
ibang version yata yung sayo hahaha
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 kanin tsaka kape nlg😂😂😂
What I love about this song is how it brings down the rain even if its hot and sunny!
If rain symbolizes what I think it symbolize, you're exactly right.
Ganda Ng meaning 😢
Umalis ako pa punta sa US 11yrs old pa lng ako.
Lage na miss mga kaibigan ko nung umalis ako.
I just discovered this song accidentally 3 days ago and I've been playing this song every single day now. I love the feels and I can totally relate to it. I just moved recently here in QC, I left my Hometown (Camarines Sur)to chase my dreams and try my luck here.
Can relate! Been an Ofw for the past 14 years. Which is why, I'm retiring in Philippines still. I miss everything about Philippines.
I hear ya.
After ko manood nitong Lyric Breakdown bigla kong namiss yung favorite kong pinsan na nag migrate na sa canada, nakakalungkot lang pero need kasi to grow separately. Thank you lola amour for this song!!
Awww.. dedicating this song to my friends na nagpa ibang bansa na.. pursuing greener pastures.. missing you guys ❤️❤️❤️😢
Kaya pala I feel really connected to the song even this wasn't released pa talaga. I'm so happy to know what is the meaning behind my new Lola Amour song (defeated Fallen lol). I feel sad too kasi I relate to the song kasi aalis na rin ako ng Pilipinas soon. This made me think what the people I will leave behind will feel and think which is very sad :((
Thanks to your music, Lola Amour!! You're the best and continue doing more masterpieces ✨
PS. Sana may song din about sa POV nung mga umalis (2) hehe
Don't speak Tagalog and now hearing the lyrics I 😢 - but your song makes me 💃💃💃-
salamat ❤
Exactly a year ago, I was supposed to meet a girl from Mindanao in Manila. I was full of hope that she would become my love, but she stood me up and didn't come to meet me.
Due to the storm, instead of in Manila, I landed at Clark International Airport. When I arrived in Manila, it was still raining. I was very wet, but the rain was nice and warm.
I had an amazing adventure and met many nice and helpful people.
I didn't fall in love with a Filipina, but I did fall in love with the country of the Philippines.
Hearing this song reminds me of my arrival in Manila and the loss I felt at the beginning.
Greetings from Poland
"Whenever you asks someone How are you?, do they even really actually tell you how they are?" Damn that hits hard.
The song hits harder now that I know the meaning and even harder knowing I relate to it because one of my best friends is leaving in a month and I already miss him...
WOW! Grabe. Ang ganda Ng groove kantang to. At Yung mga indirect lyrics. . Friendship song pala. Pero pwede din sa special someone I think. Ang galing. Ang galing! Mabuhay ang OPM! 🙌
I didn't know this was that deep oh my... Akala ko literal na raining lang bhe cause this was released while it was raining, I was the first few people to listen. Knowing the reasons behind the lines makes the song more you're like able to connect with it and I'm kinda relieved na it actually means much more. Thank you for putting the time and effort to convey your feelings in a rather upbeat song! You've done well ❤️
Living and working overseas for more than a decade now. Aside from Ph I lived in two other countries. I considered myself lucky for the experiences I had. I also consider myself blessed to have close friends I'll trust my life with. We still keep in touch. Some on a daily basis, in an active gc; some on an irregular basis--like every couple of months. One thing is the same though--it's as if yesterday we were still attending our class in our rundown uni in Sta. Mesa, or starting our careers in an accounting firm in Ayala, or celebrating our small wins in a cozy pub in Phnom Pehn. or sharing a bbq in their home's backyard in East London talking about life. This breakdown of Raining in Manila made me appreciate the close friends I have along the way. I could only hope and wish that we never grow apart such that we will no longer recognise each other, I would prefer not to start our conversation with 'how are you'. Cause if I do, do they really tell you how they are? :)
Thanks for this Lola Amour! I'm a new fan and I'm immersing myself in your music for days now.
City pop supremacy!
This hit me haaard 😭
I've been listening to the song since it came out and i didnt even know the meaning of the lyrics and i'm currently living and working new zealand since three months ago and i badly miss my friends and family that i left in the philippines and just hoping that i can come back soon and hug them tight 😣
This is gonna be my theme song now 🥰
Pugay kamay sa inyo mga tutoy angas ng song na toh astig!!! Sounds ko every morning sa kitchen and sa car. Congrats!
Proof that kung magpo-pursue ka ng mas magandang buhay, hindi lang pangit na memories ang iiwan mo, pati social circle at great memories.
Very well-spoken at sobrang articulate magsalita. OMG PIO 😍❤
It gives me nostalgia when I listen to this song for the first time. I miss everything in Manila it’s been 4 yrs since I migrate to another country it has deeper meaning to me also. We just need to accept the fact that we need to leave to pursue our dreams. It’s just wherever you still there’s no place like home. Thank you for making this song ❤
Now I know. That's why the minus one version sounds so city pop-ish. Keep up the good work!
Grabe nagustuhan ko yung song kasi ang ganda ng tunog. Like literal naka on repeat siya for a week. Akala ko dahil lang talaga sa tag-ulan yung kanta. Tapos now nalaman ko yung breakdown habang ito nasa ibang bansa ako, yes in pursuit of a better life. Literal mag-isa at nanginginig. Huhu. Anyway. Ganda nung song legit 🥺♥️
I can say that the writers and composers of this song is such a genius.
It’s kills me when i first heard this because i moved in the UK and just got back to manila 2 weeks ago stayed there for only two weeks .. i am a manila Girl all my life .. when i landed in manila i posted the video of city hall of manila going back ti my place from the airport with the background of this song
boy he's good at explaining and adding details, Damnnnnnnnnn.
ganda.
I've always loved lola amour's lyricism, simple yet there's a lot of meaning the more you try to understand it, kudos to you guys love your music!
I agree! Masyado melancholic mga lyrics kahit napapaindak ka na sa melody! hahaha 🙃🙃🙃
Deep meaning...left me with teary eye....
In the beginning of your statement about the migrants that moved in the city from the province. it's exactly what it comes down to, sadness. I moved here sa US when I was 17 and left all my friends sa manila. It was the toughest time of my young days then. Yes, we moved to have the best opportunity but it does not mean that we forget what was left behind. Moving to another country comes at a price. And sometimes, you can never fill in the gap that is empty. Life moves forward and you have to make a decision of you are moving with it or not.
I honestly do feel your explanation and it's emotional. after 24 years since I left, this song reminds me as if it was just yesterday. Great composition and best of all, your music touches the listeners. That's the best! Congrats! to you and your band.
Kudos! Lalo pang gumanda yung song because of this breakdown, u put into words the inexplicable feelings i got listening to it for the 1st time, thank you 🥺
Gagi I think I’m going to cry. I’m studying in europe for uni bumalik lang ako for summer, and I’m about to leave ulit in less than 2 weeks. It’s bitter sweet nga ksi you want to just be with your friends pero you can’t really stop them or yourself especially if you have an opportunity to better yourself. I sometimes wish na elem nalang ulit kmi to relive those carefree days, or even if I stayed nalang here to have drinks with them, to hear yung mga kwento nila. I am at a lost for words rn. I am sad, happy, thankful, and just a mess overall. Thank you for this.
Sincerely limited edition european boy na humiga in front of versus. Inuman ulit bago ko umalis hahaha
Yung sax instrumental part halos katunog ng Love Space and it shows kung gaano kalaki ang musical influence ni Tatsu Yamashita sa song.
Watch out for this guy’s career. He is a musical genius.
Sobrang naka connect ako sa unang kinig ko dito. Naalala ko ung kaibogan ko na bglang umalis naiwan ako magisa. Nahirapan ako nun. tpos naiisip ko sya pag umuulan kasi nga madalas kmi magtambay sa ministop noon tpos umuulan pinagusapan nmen noon mga alien star mga tikbalang na kinakasal mga tao sa mundong to mga paulit ulit na routine sa buhay. Ngaun we grow apart.
Mas lalo ko na appreciate tong kanta nyo, yon pala yon 🤟
kaya pala parang maganda pang OST sa Anime, CITY POP inspired pala
Beautifully written lyrics. What a composition
Touching meaning of the song. The feeling of being left behind by a friend is as hurtful as having break-up with your partner. Sucks.
I miss highschool and college friends, decades after magkita kita iba na Sila pero ako ganoon pa rin yun pagkamiss ko sa kanila, you can't help but wonder if ganon din ba Sila. I just keep it within me.
Sarap sa tenga, naalala ko boses ni unique kasama ang 4 of spades. Yung lyrics nakakawili pakinggan lalo yung chorus. kinakanta ko ito kahit mali lyrics ko 😂

Thank you for the explanation! I've never thought that the meaning behind the beautiful lyrics was very relatable.

wow!!! yun pala 😲❤️❤️❤️😪
Natupad na yung request ng isang comment sa lyric video. 👏🏽
Pake mo
Ginawa nila yan sigurado Kasi gusto nila.
Baka pwede ako bumida sa music video nito, kahit umihi lang ako pantalon sa ulan or umiyak habang umuulan. Walang talent fee! More power Lola Amour!
Another song that goes in the list of having an upbeat tune but sad lyrics.
Ito yung maganda, ineexplain ng mga kumanta yung sarili nilang meaning sa gawa nila
Mood composition of this song is similar to plastic love.. no wonder i could hear elements of city pop genre
kaya idol ko kayo eh! ‘di nyo lang natumbok gusto kong maiparating kahit di ko masabi, pero naiparamdam at naipakita n’yo rin yung emosyon na hindi ko maamin na nararamdaman ko na pala! i remember the time i first heard this in saguijo, and man, i just started to feel free yet renewed, and even revitalized after feeling my feelings through your songs!
Listened to the song and felt all of that! Just moved to the US 3 months ago (sepanx talaga from the people back at home). Glad you guys put up this video, validated my emotions haha, spot on with the song.
Shoutout to Raymond, met him during the 2022 elections. Awesome guy.
Thank you 💕
His eyes, they're beaming ❤
very beautiful explanation which is very much appreciated for a non-tagalog speaker, so truly thank you! i don’t mean to take away from the nuances of this song and it’s connection to its filipino audience but the tragic beauty of this song is how so many people from all different backgrounds but with similar stories can heavily relate to this message - just truly powerful! 🫶
nah we aint like that. own it mah dudez.
sabi na e, inspired by other song yung tune. but anyway, the song itself is very good, groovy and emotional! we love it! 😘
bro when I listened to the sax I felt Tatsuro yamashita touch on raining in Manila and the accords,
nghahanap pa naman ako ng song about missing your friends ngayong adulting stage na, yung need ng moral support from them pero wala layo layo naaa. yon eto na yong song ko for them. Namiss k n nman tuloy silaa
Salamat lodi kala ko pang love song pang tropa pala buti nalang nilinaw mo lodi
awe. loved the song and now i love it more. as a migrant totally relatable :)❤
Sabi na e lakas maka city pop ng vibes ng kantang to haha goods na goods. If nagustuhan mo tong kanta na to search mo na agad plastic love 😌
I love how you guys breakdown the meaning of your lyrics, very dedicated musicians indeed! ✨️👏😄
Deyyymmmmmmm!
CITY POP YESS
oh my gosh this made me cry so much cuz this happend to me😢
I moved to the states and i had this one friend i was so close to now i dont even know her anymore i just hope i just know she was still the same like i knew them before😢
As a youth who will also leave Manila to another province, this is really heartbreaking and heartwarming. Galing niyo po Lola Amour hehe
Nung una ko marinig yan naiinis pa ko kasi parang pang lasing siya (sorry na ang judgmental ko haha) pero nito lang, narinig ko sya uli sa bus habang papuntang Manila kasi lilipat na ko at dito na titira para magtrabaho. Nakakarelate tuloy ako sa lyrics nitong kantang to. Masaya yung tugtog pero yung feelings na naeevoke ng kantang to ay lungkot at loneliness, and longing for someone and friends and family.
Kolohe Kai ng Pinas... pa cover naman ng song ng Kolohe Kai
4:23 is a double-edged sword, kasi you don't have to deal with the problems your family and friends face in the Philippines but at the same time you want to help them and you can only do so much but not "physically" help them.
Lola Amour getting inspired by sparkle from tatsuro yamashita and citu pop in general is peak.
it is my first time listening to this kind of detailed explanation about the background and lyrics of the song. i love it. as someone who really loves music and really reads lyrics, i love the breakdown of the meaning of this song
no wonder this song is a hit. you guys put a lot of emotion and effort into this song, I wish to hear more from you. good luck!
I didn't even know I related to this song until this video. I was just singing it nonchalantly but while watching I do feel missing my old friends so much. woooofffff haha
Isa sa mga kanta na ang gandang pakinggan tas ang deep ng meaning.
I know the song is about old friends moving away for good but somehow i got a bit sad because it sounded like a friendship that was over. And you sometimes wonder if they think about you. I dunno that just parts hits me a lot because i had a friend that i had to end my friendship with them because i just told them my concern for them and they never bothered to reply back even after a couple months. It made me thought maybe im not as important to them as they are to me. But yeah that was just how the meaning of the song meant for me.
FINALLY I GOT TO SEE THIS GUYS IN MOA EARLIER IT WAS A CORE MEMORY!!!
Same vibes sa kantang
Where are you now ng Honor Society
nakaka lunkot po
The feels! 😩 my heart
Why am I crying? 🥹😭
Honestly, I totally agree with the vocalist and I guess it's true especially to all of us who went to the big city to make it and then somehow, you ask someone back home how everything's going.
Ganda may mga breakdown every song.
brayta pagkabuhat kantaha! upbeat pero makasakit! TNXMUCH FOR THIS SONG!
