Do You Hear What I Hear (Christmas Stream 2022)

Because it is that love-filled time of the year (and Laufey just won a grammy!!!) I thought I would share one of my songs from last year’s Christmas stream: Lovesick, by Laufey ✨

I’ve gotten into the habit of sharing a short message with the songs I select— why they are part of my repertoire, what they mean to me. I believe context is crucial for the enjoyment of anything, especially music. 

For pacing purposes, it was too long for me to include in my music video, but I am including the transcript here for those interested.

Happy Valentines everyone!

“So this [next song] is called Lovesick. I think it captures a particular mood, a kind of warm feeling in your heart [that] captures you and captivates you— I think this is exactly what I felt this year especially, [that] when I [first] heard this song from Laufey, [I thought] “yeah. That’s exactly how I feel.” 

Let me quote this particular line actually:

‘Getting twisted in my head,
Dreams are nightmares in my bed,
Since the last night I spent with you.’

Ewan ko kung anong meron sa pag-ibig, pero minsan, there is a particular intoxicating factor that comes with it, and [I really felt that] this year.”

Lovesick - Christmas Stream 2023

It’s ✨ Laufey Time ✨

I couldn’t make it to Laufey's concert in Manila last week— so instead I thought I would channel that energy and share with you my cover of Laufey’s “Fragile,” from her Everything I Know About Love album.

What I love particularly about Fragile is the earnestness in which it approaches the subject of vulnerability. Liking our identities to a glass that easily shatters, especially when faced with something as confounding and bewildering as love, it highlights the human condition of that constant push and pull of desiring to at once open up our own emotions, yet wanting to protect ourselves from being hurt by the other.

Humans crave comfort, safety, and security— yet love, which itself is a human desire, exposes the core of the “me” and allows others to peer into us; a process that, through reflection, inevitability exposes the other to their own vulnerabilities and insecurities.

Fragile is at once romantic and melancohlic— painting a fuzzy vignette of a love in the season of fall, consummated on the beach, by the rocks abreast of the sea, that was never meant to be.

This cover was recorded live during my Christmas 2023 Livestream. If you want to hear more of the songs I played, you can listen to them on my channel. I also posted last February a cover of Laufey’s “Lovesick,” if you’re interested in that too!
