Mother of Sorrow and Song: A Voice Wrapped in Pain and Poetry

Published on 6 May 2025 at 23:28

Introduction

In a world full of noise, we often forget how powerful silence can be—especially the silence we carry inside.
My latest music podcast, “Mother of Sorrow and Song,” is a heartfelt attempt to give voice to that quiet pain, the unspoken truths, and the fragile strength we all hold onto. This original composition, paired with a poetic Tagalog narration, was born from personal experiences, unhealed wounds, and deep emotional reflection.

This isn’t just a song—it’s a soul speaking.

A Song that Reflects, Not Rescues

The lyrics of “Mother of Sorrow and Song” do not promise healing. Instead, they mirror the shadows we often avoid—grief, doubt, fear, and inner conflict. It’s not a lullaby that comforts, but a poetic echo that reminds us: you are not alone in your silence.

“Ako ang ina ng lungkot at awit. Ang boses sa loob mong nagsasabing... baka mali ka.”
“I am the mother of sorrow and song. The voice in you that whispers... maybe you’re wrong.”

The song walks through valleys where secrets reside and gently asks you to face them. The narrator’s voice doesn’t try to fix you—it simply cradles your brokenness with raw honesty.

Why I Created This Podcast?

As a mother, educator, and songwriter, I’ve encountered many stories—some loud, others hidden behind smiles. I wrote this piece to represent all of us who continue to carry emotional weight while trying to stay strong for others.

We live in a society that expects resilience but avoids discomfort. This podcast breaks that mold by saying, “It’s okay not to be okay—and still be worthy of being heard.”

The Power of Language and Voice

Using a Tagalog narration makes this podcast even more personal and culturally resonant. It speaks directly to the Filipino soul—one that is often resilient, but sometimes silenced. The background music sets a moody and cinematic tone, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in every word and note.

Conclusion

“Mother of Sorrow and Song” is more than a creative work—it’s an emotional companion for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or misunderstood. It is a space where music and truth meet. A space where your sorrow doesn’t need to be hidden, and your song doesn’t need to be perfect.
