About this Song
The Pop recording "Pamanggulo" from the Philippines explores the theme of life in-between. The song narrates the struggles of "the unseen and the unappreciated," tackling the so-called Middle Child Syndrome as an ode to people often overlooked and living in the shadows of others. It also extends its narrative to mid-life struggles, silent battles, being stuck in limbo, and knowing one's purpose. The song subtly adds another layer by addressing the experience of being a rapper from the "middle school." "Pamanggulo" addresses hardships but also emphasizes the realization that life has no beginning or end without the in-betweens.
