Come Inside Of My Heart: Different Kinds of Love Languages
Every person is born unique and everybody has differences. And, of course, this meant that even love languages vary from one person to another. Furthermore, the way we express our love and admiration for someone may not be evident due to the fact that their interpretation differs from others. IV of Spades lead guitarist Blaster Silonga even talked about this in an interview. He pointed out how he had a different way of expressing his love for his friends and family. This also became an inspiration to one of their songs in the album CLAPCLAPCLAP!
“Nasulat ko ‘yan kasi ang daming nagagalit sakin. Hindi ako sweet kaya parang akala nila ‘wala ka bang pake samin, Blaster? Tapos nasa isip ko ‘Hindi, kailangan niyo lang akong pilitin. Sweet naman ako sa inyo, kaya Come Inside Of My Heart na lang’. Tatawagan na lang kita ‘pag gusto mong tawagan kita. Mahiyain ako eh.“
