There's a Time for Everything

I made a vertical video again with these clips. After exporting it, I decided to create another timeline and make a 1920x1080 video instead so I can also share it with you here. The first goal was to just make it as a short one but I decided to make it a little lengthy, I added few more clips, and used a different music instead.

Actually, while I was browsing through the videos, the clips reminded me of a song by Noel Cabangon, a Filipino songwriter and singer. The song was Kanlungan has these lyrics:

Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
Maibabalik ba ang kahapon?

Natatandaan mo pa ba
Nang tayong dal'wa'y unang nagkita?
Panahon ng kamusmusan
Sa piling ng mga bulaklak at halaman
Doon tayong nagsimulang
Mangarap at tumula

Natatandaan mo pa ba
Inukit kong puso sa punong mangga?
At ang inalay kong gumamela
Magkahawak-kamay sa dalampasigan
Malayang tulad ng mga ibon
Ang gunita ng ating kahapon

Ang mga puno't halaman
Ay kabiyak ng ating gunita
Sa paglipas ng panahon
Bakit kailangan ding lumisan?

Pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
Maibabalik ba ang kahapon?

Ngayon ikaw ay nagbalik
At tulad ko rin ang iyong pananabik
Makita ang dating kanlungan
Tahanan ng ating tula at pangarap
Ngayon ay naglaho na
Saan hahanapin pa?

Lumilipas ang panahon
Kabiyak ng ating gunita
Ang mga puno't halaman
Bakit kailangang lumisan?

I can't translate all of it to English but the gist is that there's a time for everything but the songwriter asks if it is possible to turn back to those times when they were still kids, young, and carefree. He was referring to someone whom he met under a mango tree, the flowers he gave that person, their walks to the seashore while holding hands. I can sense that the song speaks about the writer's childhood love and that the times had changed, they were not anymore in a relationship but are now adults coming back to the town or place where they once had those great memories.

There's definitely a tense of excitement and what-if's, what will he feel if he sees the shore where they had spent those moment walking while holding hands, the mango tree where he had vandalized a heart for the lady.

Urgh! This song really is a jewel for me, it brings back personal memories as well. But just as the song says, there's a time for everything. While those memories are great to reminisce, it is time to face what's the "now" and let go. These are now just memories of the past, it is a great story to share and just recall but not to dwell on.

Do you also have your own share of these kinds of memories?

Anyway, I used that song for the reel but used a separate music for this lenghty one for threespeak! Thanks for reading!
