Senti Warning: A Heartbreaking Playlist with Moira
There’s just something about the songs of Moira that brings out the senti in all of us. Maybe it’s her sweet soulful voice, the letters in the song, or perhaps how it is relatable. We’re not entirely sure.
After her Himig Handog winning single “Titibo-Tibo” and covers of Imago’s “Sundo” and Moonstar88’s “Torete,” she was recognized and climbed up to top performing singers in the country. Since then, her songs have been on the most streamed lists among music platforms right after release.
If you are feeling yourself to be the main character while looking at the bus window, get your earphones, and better make sure to have this heartbreaking playlist of Moira for a more senti kind of “feels”.
Paubaya
At kung masaya ka sa piling niya
Hindi ko na ‘pipilit pa
Ang tanging hiling ko lang sa kanya
Huwag kang paluhain at alagaan kaniya
Who wouldn’t cry over the fact of letting go? Giving up someone you later knew was in love with somebody else. Instead of fighting for what I thought was us, I will let you go for your happiness.
Malaya
Kung di pipilitin
Ang di pa para sa’kin
Baka sakaling maibalik
Malaya ka na
Listening to this song feels like the realization that love sometimes is about setting someone free. That if they come back, it’s yours. If not, then it’s never meant to be.
Patawad, Paalam
Kung paglisan lang ang paraan
Patawad
Paalam
Kahit nasa’n ka man
This is one of Moira’s songs featuring the Filipino band, “I Belong to the Zoo”. It is more like a conversation of a couple saying “sorry” and “goodbye” as they end their relationship. It had the thought of them getting back, but it was too late as one of them fell out of love.
Saglit
Tapos na ang laban
Salamat sa saglit
Salamat sa sakit
Ako’y di magsisisi
This is the official theme song of the movie “Glorious” featuring Tony Labrusca and Angel Aquino. The story behind it is about letting go without regrets. If you choose what makes you happy, I am fine with it. I am already thankful for the moment we shared, the times when you were still mine.
Patawad
Patawad kung ikaw ay aking nasaktan
Hindi ko nabigay ang iyong kailangan
At ang huling pangako na maibibigay sa ating dalawa ay wala ng sisihan
Patawad, paalam sa ating nakaraan
Moira said in an interview that “it’s hard to say goodbye but it’s harder to forgive. Mahirap magpatawad ng mahal mo, ng sarili mo”. This talks about forgiving your past. To move on and continue as we cannot live life with regrets.
This playlist is indeed perfect, even for a good 3 AM cry. When you want to let those tears out, sudden realizations hit you. When you feel the blues of the love you once desperately prayed for.
I am sorry for making you cry. Huhu!
