00:00 It's great that it started with my friend,
00:04 that he has chord progression,
00:07 and I have a deep relationship with him.
00:11 When I wrote that song, I just wanted to let him hear it.
00:14 When I make an album, we make a song.
00:27 Before, there was no information,
00:32 but now, there's a lot of information because of the internet and technology.
00:37 But it's funny, I always go back to what I was listening to when I was a kid.
00:43 But because of my friend, we had a formula.
00:49 I said, let's do a guitar bass,
00:52 loud guitar, loud drums,
00:55 but melodically speaking, I want it to hit the listener like,
01:00 "Oh, this is mayonnaise."
01:01 Everyone knows that I make people shout and sing.
01:05 So I can't growl,
01:07 I can't do this,
01:10 but I can shout and sing the message that I want to portray.
01:16 [Music]
01:25 When you start writing songs,
01:29 you love everything.
01:31 Everything is important to you.
01:34 But when you have a commercial success,
01:36 you want people to hear it.
01:40 So the song loses its personal connection or touch.
01:46 But what I always say,
01:48 maybe I can say it's not my favorite,
01:52 but when I say a line that I can't understand,
01:58 I use it in "Bakit Part 2."
02:00 [Music]
02:15 It means that I don't understand something.
02:17 But when I don't understand something,
02:20 I don't get mad because I want to understand.
02:23 The first line is the most important to me.
02:27 Always when I'm writing a song.
02:30 [Music]
02:40 In the music video,
02:41 maybe some of you don't know,
02:42 the location was in Taguig.
02:45 It was in a house in the middle of a rice field.
02:49 In the music video,
02:50 Dorin runs around the house,
02:51 it's a long rice field.
02:54 Suddenly, there's a house there.
02:55 I can't forget that.
02:56 Because at that time,
02:57 geotags were not popular.
03:00 The director, Enzo Panganiban,
03:02 I told him if he's familiar with the band Deftones.
03:05 Then I said,
03:06 "Let's do something like that,
03:08 just weird."
03:10 Because I want to do something
03:12 that others don't do.
03:15 So the concept started.
03:17 I showed him a music video.
03:19 He said, "Yes, I can do this."
03:20 Because it's necessary.
03:22 And a woman runs around.
03:23 I don't want to do the usual.
03:26 [Music]
03:37 I believe when it came out,
03:39 that song,
03:40 even if you listen to it,
03:41 it has no sound.
03:43 That song has no sound.
03:46 When it came out in 2015,
03:47 it was popular with other artists.
03:49 Four of Spades,
03:50 Sud,
03:51 Jensen and the Flips,
03:52 Ben & Ben.
03:53 We don't have a single sound there.
03:56 It's just great that it started with my friend.
04:00 He has chord progression.
04:03 Then I have a relationship with Malabo.
04:07 When I wrote that song,
04:09 I just wanted him to listen.
04:11 It's like it reached Peolo Pascual
04:13 or even to some other artists.
04:15 I mean, Jasmine Curtis,
04:16 I think it's still famous.
04:17 It's just great that the power of music
04:19 reached those people,
04:21 the people who started the simple idea.
04:24 I hope people can relate in the future.
04:27 I feel like,
04:28 because they're happy with these things,
04:31 they can relate.
04:32 [Music]
04:42 My message to all our supporters,
04:44 thank you so much.
04:46 You don't have a soul.
04:48 I mean, in the past year and a half,
04:49 I'm sure personally it's been hard for them.
04:52 But they're still with us.
04:55 If we're ever released,
04:57 if we're ever on the internet,
04:59 you're still supporting us.
05:01 So,
05:02 we'll keep on singing songs that you like.
05:06 And the thought of content won't be gone.
05:10 Because every Sunday,
05:12 we release covers on YouTube.
05:14 But we also respect the time you give us
05:18 and we can't thank you enough.
