Thoughts on PPOP Phenomenon SB19's newest single "WHAT?"
Information: SB19 released it's newest single last March 9, 2021 entitled "What?", a complex song about self-love and empowerment.
"... Lahat ng aking basura
Pupulutin, laging dala
Kahit san pa 'ko magpunta
Lapat sa lupa aking mga paa..."
[THOUGHTS] Isn't it that we always carry our baggage with us no matter where we go? But maintaining our feet still on the ground is yet another story on it's own. Speaks so much about staying grounded, staying humble while we reap blessings left and right OR keeping oneself connected with one's inner self when we mess up ..
"Di na bala para iangat ang bandera
Bara na sa puso nyo na ang tatama
Ama! Salamat at ikaw ang agimat
Bawat banat, iwagayway mo ang watawat..."
[THOUGHTS] Combining politics and religion is very brave of Pablo and SB19, topics that are highly divisive and polarizing... The flag here is somewhat a metaphor for something that you are fighting for, with the one above as the amulet that shields one off from the bullet that pierces through one's soul..
.... Highly complicated lyrics I must say, one that you don't regularly hear from musicians -- oftentimes, we usually are spoon-fed with straightforward ones that are easy to understand ... but this... this song... sheds off much of your brain cells... so hats off to the genius that is Pablo, the brain of this masterpiece...
