It’s Timmy Time: Timmy Albert hits to vibe into while traveling
Now that classes and works are back and done face-to-face, heavy traffic, chaotic road noises, and long travel hours welcome us everyday. And enduring such a scene just stresses us out even before all the workloads do. At this point, the only escape plan I got is to put my earphones on and delight into the solace rhythm of music brought by the Filipino singer-songwriter, Timmy Albert.
Throughout our travel time, just letting our music app on a shuffle mode sometimes brings surprises that match our palette and mood. These music treats later become our favorites and have them on constant repeat, just like how I did with these songs that now loops in my travel playlist:
Roses & Sunflowers
This song could be an appreciation of one’s lover. On the other hand, Roses & Sunflowers also represents all the love letters left unsaid for the people we secretly love. It gives us a perspective of someone feeling captivated by the genuine and mundane actions of another person. Timmy Albert, in this song, brings us back into the times where our crushes just effortlessly makes us smile over their little movements. And for sure, with its more than 13 million streams today, most of us got the same wish as this song would tell us:
You give me those butterflies; wish I could keep them in a jar, so I could take them with me no matter where you are.
– Timmy Albert, Roses & Sunflowers
FEELINGS
While traveling and enduring all the chaotic realities of everyday commuting, I find this song perfect to at least divert our minds into something that would make us smile. “FEELINGS” makes us remember the beauty there is in falling in love. It tells us a story of carelessly getting lost with the person we love and indulging into the romantic thrill of the atmosphere. This Timmy Albert hit certainly made us all relate, that even KPop idol Yeonjun of TXT recommended this song in one of his livestreams. With that, let’s keep on developing FEELINGS just as the song goes.
I’m awake but I’m dreaming. Now I’m falling in love with no warning.
– Timmy Albert, FEELINGS
IT’S COMPLICATED!
True to its title, it serves us a complicated story that others might relate to. This 2023 Timmy Albert hits takes us into a point of view of a persona realizing the complexity of his relationship with another person. And this very same complexity holds the worth of keeping his sweetheart around. “IT’S COMPLICATED!” brings us back to our young carefree hearts that braved the risks, all for love. So, when you contemplate on complicated question while traveling, tune into this song and vibe into the persona’s courage.
It’s complicated but I wake up, and I think about you. Lowkey frustrated but it’s worth it keepin’ you around.
– Timmy Albert, IT’S COMPLICATED!
Dear Moon
Dear Moon is probably one of the sweetest Timmy Albert songs I know. The persona in this masterpiece both wonders and gives promises to his loved one. While getting stuck in the long traffic, this song brings you into the outer space where love and the risk it comes along with are all possibilities. Although promises in this song may appear exaggerated to be true, one could not deny the limitless perspective of someone deeply in love.
I feel lost, don’t know my location and I’m stuck in my navigation. But I’ll name all the constellations after you.
– Timmy Albert, Dear Moon
Smile
From the title itself, this song literally talks about smile. Timmy Albert, just like our friends, seem to be telling us his chance encounter with his crush who happen to show him that pretty little curve on her lips. Lover’s smile is definitely all what it takes to save the persona of this song from the dark clouds over him. This song could also be a reminder that amid the stressful travel, don’t forget to smile, because your crush sitting beside might be waiting for that too!
‘Cause even when it rains it’s summertime, I’m feeling all of the rays of your pretty smile
– Timmy Albert, Smile
