As for Noli, it's composed by Mo and produced by R-ji and Alas. It was inspired by the main couple of Rizal's novel 'Noli me Tangere': Maria Clara and Crisostomo Ibarra. The novel's setting is based on the period of Spanish colonization.
To add to that, Mo's perspective in the song is that Ibarra fights for his love for Maria Clara. Bec. in the novel the odds didn't favor the lovers, they went too much as lovers and as individuals. In the song, the lovers are victors. ❤
For a brief description of Manila Dreams, it's inspired by or about the members reaching for their dreams in Manila, since they came from different provinces.
It may also be a representation of all members of the many Filipinos who went to Metro Manila for greener pastures. Though it may have not always been a better outcome for most, as resilient Filipinos, they strive to live and make meets end day by day. ❤ And you're right when it was like Taytay's song because many Filipinos thought that Manila would fulfill their dreams. ❤
"Dayang" is basically about a guy whos been through a lot of bad relationships until the right one(dayang) comes along. In this song, i intend it to mean "darling" but could be interpreted to princes or love or any term of endearment. Thanks for the review!
'Dayang' can mean 'princess'. Basically, if 'Pasulong' has 'Maharani', 'IsaPuso' has 'Dayang'. According to Songtell, "The song "Dayang" by Alamat explores themes of longing, hope, and the search for love and fulfillment. It speaks about the journey of finding oneself and experiencing personal growth."
Walang Hanggan Manila Dreams Noli Dagundong Dong-Dong-Ay Dayang Day and Night Multo and before anyone says something i rate the top 5 as EXCELLENT 5/5 and the last 3 as VERY GOOD 4/5. no bad songs found here. Even better than Pasulong which I also liked
5:51 i had the same question after listening to it the first time😅 It's RJI btw🤎Mo and RJi kinda sound similar (only) when hitting high notes. They're like the same Font but one is in bold, the other is italics. I really love MoJiTo's vocals/adlibs✨️
no shame in having Alamat get 1 up on the PPop Kings once in a while. as much as i love what Pablo, Stell, Justin, Josh and Ken have accomplished for themselves and for the industry… IsangPuso is my Album of the Year
That “IsaPuso” Sarimanok looks vibrant and nice! Cool design! The Sarimanok, by the way, is a mythical bird in Filipino (Maranao) lore. It’s a symbol of good fortune. “IsaPuso” is a play on words “Isa” (means one) and “Puso” (means heart) = ONE HEART. at the same time, “isapuso” is a Tagalog verb which means “to take to heart.”

This!! 👏 You're so right, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between their high notes on 1st listen 😅 These 3 have such an impressive range
LOL MoJiTo that's great combo of names
I've been listening to Noli non-stop ever since they release the LP. Thanks for the reactions, kelly 🥰
Additional trivia for Noli: R-Ji is the one playing guitar on this one 🎸🤘
Go R-Ji, go! 🎸😍
❤❤

17:10 you have that main character energy, too! Love how you’re so knowledgeable about Alamat & a very keen observer on melody & lyrics.
Hehe thank you!! 🥰 With Alamat, I always have to keep my eyes & ears open to catch every detail!
5:56 Rji did so good on that “whooa-hoo-woo-wowww”
The attention to details of your analysis 💅
Thank you! Alamat always gives me so much to talk about with their music 🤩
The instrumental in the chorus part of DAYANG was the spoiler in the PPOPCON 2023 performance
It's fun when you clap along to music.
You gotta have $thanks feature ❤ I appreciate you very much!

“IsaPuso” is a play on words “Isa” (means one) and “Puso” (means heart) = ONE HEART.
at the same time, “isapuso” is a Tagalog verb which means “to take to heart.”
Manila Dreams is THE song
YES! It makes me so unbelievably happy 🤗
