Earl Shares his Gratefulness for the Success of his Song “Tibok”
He expressed his gratitude to the people who were part of his success. His song “Tibok” gained popularity shortly after it was sung in the ongoing series Ang Mutya ng Section E. He said:
Sobrang thrill ng pakiramdam and hindi ko siya inexpect at all. Hindi ko naman talaga siya pinangarap sa simula pa lang. The goal was to really release a music kaya sobrang saya rin sa pakiramdam nung nakita ko na it’s gaining this much. Masaya po.
Apart from that, he also mentioned that the song “Tibok” was the most personal song that he released. Therefore, out of all his songs, “Tibok” held the deepest emotional connection to him.
Earl draws song inspirations from his personal and shared human experiences.
During the interview, Earl shared that some of his songs were mostly inspired by his personal experiences in life. Meanwhile, the shared human experiences about love served as inspiration for the other songs.
Minimerge ko sila eh. Something personal to me and then something that is shared by everybody.
