#Aegis is basically Filipino #AirSupply with female vocals, screeching about heart break at the top of their lungs with zero capacity to chill

 

[Fresh Track] Rivers Cuomo - Halik / cover of the Filipino song by Aegis

Youtube: https://youtu.be/pQsGm7KiSw4

I think this cover was released in the lead up to the #Weezer concert here in Manila.

I'm honestly impressed by #RiversCuomo' s #Tagalog , you can tell he worked hard on it. It's as good as a non-native speaker can get.

Halik means kiss, and the song is yearning af: missing your kiss, why did you leave me, I'm hurt whenever I see you, etc.

@useless_modern_god Nope it's English, it's an Irish-Filipino production. Most of it is filmed in Ireland and there are some flashback scenes in the Philippines but they're subtitled.

I like the movie, it goes in really surprising places. I haven't seen another English-language horror movie covering global south labour exploitation so it deffo gets bonus points for that one.

@Varyk It's so good I swear. They don't have a lot of songs but it's all amazing. Enjoy!
