From Oo the ever-popular track from their first album, all the way to Crying Season from their latest, we've handpicked 8 of Up Dharma Down's most powerful lyrics.
Since 2004, Up Dharma Down's (UDD) powerful music has graced cosy bars, crowded festivals, and of course intimate at-home hugot sessions around the world. The talented homegrown quartet showcases the talents of Armi Millare, Carlos Tañada, Ean Mayor, and Paul Yap, creating a recognisable sound that's distinctively UDD. Their music is fortified by the group's sincere songwriting which effortlessly invites a solemn empathy that keeps you coming back for more.
Tracking through the 2006 album Fragmented, their very first, all the way to the latest release from 2019 UDD, we take a look at eight of the band's most heart-wrenching lyrics—two from each album; four in English and four in Filipino.
1. Oo
Sana hindi ka na lang pala aking nakilala
Kung alam ko lang ako'y masasaktan ng ganito
Sana'y nakinig na lang ako sa nanay ko
Oo, Fragmented album
