“Uy, listen to this song.. Ikaw naalala ko nung narinig ko ‘to.”
Gary Chapman’s “The 5 Love Languages” has been all over the internet. It outlines five universal conducts that romantic partners convey and experience love, they are words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts.
But as a person who relates their feelings and encounters to songs, I really appreciate song recommendations and curated playlists. Thus, I would like to propose including this as the 6th love language.
Songs, as an art form, exist in perpetuity. It’s also a sincere way of expressing one’s mood and emotion. For the spirit of Love Month, we asked around for our colleague’s best love songs:
Bien of TDE – Nakauwi Na by Ang Bandang Shirley
Pwede ka bang puntahan diyan at tabihan Kahit walang sinasabi't tahimik lang Kahit sandali lang basta't makasama ka Kahit mamaya-maya lang ako'y uuwi na Kahit walang katapusan hindi ka iiwan Basta't makasama ka ako'y nakauwi na Nakauwi na
Rose Anne of Legal – When God Made You by Newsong & Natalie Grant
I wonder what God was thinking
When He created you
I wonder if He knew everything I would need
Because He made all my dreams come true
When God made you
He must have been thinking about me
Mark of TDE – You’re Still the One by Shania Twain
They said, "I bet they'll never make it" But just look at us holding on We're still together, still going strong.
Madel of Finance – Tunay by Lance Santdas
Kasi ang sarap magmahal ‘pag alam mong tunay
RJ of AMD – Electric by Alina Baraz, Khalid
Covered in your water and I'm feelin' like a summer breeze Submitted under power and you brought me to my knees
Camela of Technology – Rose by D.O
If you need a lover Let me know and let me in I could treat you better Steal you roses everyday I might not have fancy car But I fancy you so give me a chance If you need a lover, baby
I personally love Autotelic’s Languyin from their Papunta Pabalik album.
Mundo ko'y baliktarin, babalik balik ka rin Tila 'di nauubusan ng hangin at ng paraan Lamunin man ng alon, handa akong la-la-la-languyin Tangayin man ng hangin, maligaw handa akong la-la-la-lakbayin
