Gloc-9 Unveils Releases His Emotional Tale of Cherished Memories in New Single “Ala
Gloc-9, the prolific songwriter, has recently released a new track titled “Ala.” The fresh single is a profoundly emotional piece that expertly interweaves themes of the fragility of memory, family, and love.
The title “Ala” is a clever yet effective play on words that utilizes the Filipino word “alaala,” which signifies memories, as the central theme of this narrative.
In the song “Ala,” Gloc-9 takes the audience on a voyage through the life of a man who reflects on the cherished memories of his love story, from the moment he meets his partner to the moment they grow old together. The song commences with a celebration of the significant events of life, such as the blessing of children and the pleasure of marriage. Despite the fact that their children have moved away, the couple’s relationship remains strong as the years pass, leaving them with only one another.
The narrative undergoes a heart-wrenching transformation as the man begins to exhibit symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, a condition that gradually diminishes his memory. Gloc-9’s lyrics vividly illustrate the dread and confusion that accompany the diagnosis, as well as the heartbreak of forgetting the very people and moments that once defined his life.. The verses are replete with unadulterated emotion, illustrating the man’s struggle to preserve the memories that are evaporating and the anguish of his family as they observe him deteriorate.
The rap song effectively illustrates the significance of cherishing each moment with loved ones and the inevitability of time. The track “Ala” is a standout piece in Gloc-9’s expanding discography, as it serves as a reminder of the beauty and sorrow that memories contain.
The song is included in the most recent New Music Friday Philippines and Bago na Kalye playlists on Spotify.
