Hi guys! So i’m glad to be sharing another original song again with you all. My friend/fellow youtuber Maxine Lara asked me if i can write her a song for her thesis film “Sa Palengke” (In the Market) sometime last year and this is what i came up with. Written, sung, and arranged by yours truly. Hihi. “Una” (meaning “First” in Filipino) talks about how true love transcends the test of time. Whether we grow older, weaker, incapable to do the things we used to do when we were younger, you will always be my first and last love. In the clips from the film, it shows a man pursuing this woman everyday, as if he was trying to win her love. But in the end, it turns out that they are already happily married. Love doesn’t end once you get the girl, or once you get married. True love is constant, and never changing. 1 Corinthians 13
