About this Song
Rooted in the long and vibrant tradition of rock and roll that has flourished across the Philippines for generations, the sound bearing the title Leaving You emerges from a scene that has long reworked and reimagined the core frameworks of the genre to speak to the specific contours of life within the archipelago, while aligning with the transnational throughlines that tie rock and roll communities across every continent to one another. Rock and roll as a genre has always been a shape-shifting form, adapting to the cultural, social, and creative contexts of every community that claims it, and the Philippine rock and roll ecosystem is no exception, with a legacy of creators who have drawn from the genre’s foundational impulses to craft works that resonate both within the country’s borders and beyond, speaking to universal experiences that cross cultural lines while remaining deeply tied to the places that spawn them.
