Backwards by
Samuel Akinbode.
The VSC 2019 winning song is about recalling memories or something from the
past. I love how the piano is played throughout the song. There is only a piano
playing and drums during the verses. It has different rhyme schemes. This is
because the artist’s lyrics have a deep meaning and need to stand out. I
felt the emotion the artist wanted the audience to feel. I felt the pain. This
shows a relationship between musical elements and artistic intent.
Led Us Here by Francis
Enrico Cuenca and Gianna Aguilar. The song is about two people being in
love with each other, it represents a breathtaking atmosphere and how love
feels like between them. The song says that when you find true love, and it is
meant to be, it will lead you to each other’s hearts. The tone is romantic and mostly
soft. It is as if they are the only people existing in this world. Every beat
of the drums fits the alternating voice of the artists. The music speeds up and
slows down while it gets louder and softer. It could pass as a theme song for a
romantic musical play.
Sa Ilalim ng Buwan
by Bridgiette Apple Shane Villasis. It’s the only Tagalog song in the
entries. The song is very emotional. It fits the voice of the singer. The
artist's voice is the most important aspect / element of the song. The song has
homophonic texture, I guess. The melody in this song has
the main message of the song. The song has a conjunct melody. It has not quite
a small range as the singer did switch between very high and very low notes
once or twice if I’m not mistaken. The chimes added to the harmony of song.
