Quest is a wordsmith in his self-penned ode to heartbreak, “Walang Hanggan.” A labyrinth of false hopes, resentment and plead, the song gained a cult following when it was used a soundtrack for the hit indie film, “Ang Kwento Nating Dalawa.”
This song is one of my favorites. There is actually a story before I discovered this song. I was broken during that time and when I'm broke, I seek for some tracks that could match my feelings. There are way too many results and Walang Hanggan was the only one that got me. I found the Walang Hanggan Cover uploaded on YouTube by Raphiel Shannon. When I listened to its tone and absorb its words and message, it felt like it was made for me. The way Raphiel Shannon sang the song, it also looked like she's relating to it too. Maybe I just got carried away by the way she performed but I kinda felt its lyrics. Those are the words, my feelings, that I have no clue how to tell. It seems like the song speaks for me.
When I discovered the song, I downloaded it right away. I listened and sing along with it for countless times. The more I listen to this song and the more I sing it alone, the more it seemed like the pain that I felt was just a story from my past. It seemed like the pain that I felt before was just a memory that I once got hurt.
Days, weeks, and months passed by, I forgot the pain and how it felt. I somehow get used to it. But I never forgot the song and I never want to forget about it. It is part of my healing. I think of it as God's way to heal me.
One random moment, I searched about the song. I listened to its original song and watched its official music video (The inserted YouTube Video on the top part). Walang Hanggan is the Original Sound Track of “Ang Kwento Nating Dalawa” by Quest. It has been nominated as Indi Film Theme Song of The Year (2016). It was about a man who gave efforts to his girlfriend and they’re really in love with each other, but it ended up to no good. Now, this guy asking, why their love stops, but he promised this girl to give his all and he’ll do anything to save their relationship; he’ll endured every fight just to make peace. But still, it came to an end. The Love of his life passed away. He lose this girl in his hands; he’s still wishing to get this girl back to his arms. All he wanted is to turn back the time, the time where they cherished every moment and waiting for the time where they can be together again.
Walang Hanggan Quest
Gulong-gulo ang puso Saan ba 'to patungo? 'Di ko alam 'Di ko alam Hinarap lahat ng balakid Pero bakit walang kapit Ang mga pangakong binitawan? 'Di ko alam 'Di ko alam
Noong ika'y nilalamig, ako 'yung init Kapag takot sa bukas, ako'ng unang sisilip Ginawa ko na ang lahat 'Di pa rin sapat
Kasi ika'y mawawala na
Nawalan ng gana ang tadhana
Nanlalamig 'yung dating nagbabaga
Kung maibabalik lang sana
Titiisin ko na kahit paulit-ulit Tapos pipilitin ko na 'di maulit Ang masulyapan mo 'yung dulo Akala ko, walang hanggan pero may dulo Bawat segundo sa 'king puso, iuukit Lahat ng alaala, aking iguguhit Para makalimutan mong may dulo Ang sabi mo, walang hanggan Pero 'eto tayo sa dulo
Kailan ka ba napaso? Nanlalamig na ang iyong braso Bakit gan'yan? Bakit gan'yan? Kung pwede lang, pakisagot lahat ng bakit Sa'n galing ang galit? Mayro'n bang nang-aakit? Kailangan ko lang malinawan Bakit gan'yan? Bakit gan'yan?
Handang panindigan lahat ng ating plano Sigurado kahit 'di kabisado Gagawin ko ang lahat Walang paki kung 'di sapat
Kasi ika'y mawawala na
Nawalan ng gana ang tadhana
Nanlalamig 'yung dating nagbabaga
Kung maibabalik lang sana
Iindahin ko ang sakit na gumuguhit
Ngingiti sa likod ng luhang pumupunit
Baka masulyapan mo 'yung dulo
Kasi sabi mo, walang hanggan
Ba't mayro'ng dulo?
Ibibigay ko ang lahat paulit-ulit
Bawat pagkakataon ay aking isusulit
Basta matalikuran mo 'yung dulo
Ang sabi mo, walang hanggan
Ba't nandito tayo sa dulo?
Oh, oh, oh, oh Sa dulo Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Wag ka munang tumalikod Bumalik ka muna dito Padampi kahit anino Ayokong mag-isa dito Wala na bang bisa aking dalangin? Tinataboy na ba ng langit? Nakikiusap na lang sa hangin Ngayon wala ka na sa akin
Bakit ba biglang mayro'n tayong dulo? Pangako mo, walang hanggan Bakit nand'yan ka sa dulo? Pwede bang kalimutan mong may dulo? Handa 'ko sa walang hanggan Pangako mo, walang hanggan Akala ko, walang hanggan Pero 'eto tayo sa dulo
Kung ika'y mawawala sa aking piling
Dinggin mo ang aking bilin
Lingon ka lang paminsan-minsan
Dito lang ako, 'di ako lilisan
Sa ating dulo, 'di ako lilisan
