MANILA, Philippines – Time captivates Paul Armesin. He believes that it is a gift from God that comes in limited supply for everyone, whether rich or poor.

His song, “Segundo,” is a mourning for opportunities and moments lost, and a promise to make the most of the time that remains. Armesin sees the strong ties between music and faith.

He sees music as an instrument to bring one’s message across. When an idea is carried by music, more people are likely to listen.

“Segundo” is performed by Yael Yuzon of Sponge Cola.

Video transcript:

Napakahalaga ng musika sa pananampalataya, kasi isang paraan ‘yan para din ma-express mo ‘yung paniniwala mo, ‘yung pananampalataya mo. So pwede kang mapakinggan ng tao dahil yung mensahe mo, nilagay mo sa musika, papakinggan ka nila kahit di ka nila kakilala.

(Singing) Walumpu’t anim na libo, apat na raan ang nasa palad ko, walumpu’t anim na libo, apat na raan, pano ko gagamitin ‘to? (Singing stops)

Ang title po ng kanta ko sa Philpop ay “Segundo.” Tungkol sa kahalagahan ng oras, at kahalagahan ng bawat segundo. Kasi naniwala ako na ang oras ay regalo ng Diyos. Siguro dahil na rin na marami akong pinalampas na opportunities, marami akong pinalampas na pagkakataon.

Yung oras pala, equalizer sya. Kesyo mayaman ka, mahirap ka, pareho din tayo, meron tayong walumpu’t anim na libo, at apat na raang segundo sa araw-araw.

(Singing) Parang hangin, dumaan at naglaho, salamat sa Diyos, bukas may panibago, walumpu’t anim na libo, apat na raan segundo, di ko na sasayangin ‘to. (Singing stops)

Mahalaga na merong representation yung Gospel music sa Philpop dahil kasama naman din sa kultura ng Pilipino yung lakas ng pananampalataya natin sa Diyos.
