juan karlos - Buwan (Official Music Video) 

Im leaving this comment here, so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this masterpiece song

Because of you, every night we hear our neighbors voice crack at the top of their lungs.

Yasss 🙌🏽

May na nunuod ba Ngayong 2024 raise your hand

Congrats man. One of the best opm songs of this generation.

Holy shit, this song was released 2 years ago? Damn, time flies so fast.

The year when Mundo, Buwan, Imahe, Hindi Tayo Pwede, Pagtingin were the national playlists edit: sorry po! also songs from I Belong to the Zoo and December Ave!

Bumalik ako dito matapos kung marinig ang "ERE"

Because "luna" means "moon" and the word itself indicates insane, as Juan Karlos portrays in the music video, the song is titled "Buwan." Juan Karlos intended to "write a song that expresses another kind of love." Buwan is a Kundiman blues-inspired song. Juan Karlos stated that this song was inspired by someone and composed somewhere, and that he wrote it out of a certain feeling. Under the moon, he had a strange sensation (buwan).The song just pops into his head every time he sits down to write. In the first scene of the music video, Maureen is nearly hit by a car, prompting Juan Karlos to scold her for not being cautious. She was chained in a room as a show of his love and protection for her, so she wouldn't get into any more problems. Maureen, on the other hand, has already died as a result of the vehicle accident. Juan Karlos was hallucinating at the last scene, believing Maureen was still alive, and they brought themselves to that empty chamber. Maureen hugs Juan Karlos with a pale face, Maureen having turned into a ghost at this point, and Juan Karlos sitting alone and distressed.

The reason why this song has magic is because even though it is a modern song, it has a KUNDIMAN theme, an original filipino music genre (during war-time era) that revolves around love and despair or rather despair because of love. This song is a fitting song to describe a loco de amor, something a person suffers from. Spiraling hopelessness and most often a life-long heartbreak. It is beautiful but deeply sad and this is why this song tugs at our hearts, even if it is in a different language. The execution is sincere and it created magic. In today's life, it is so easy for people to find romance, we all have that false idea that we can find love easily, or replace someone instantly. But in older days, love is once in a lifetime... that's why this song hurts so beautifully. The original line up of Rivermaya had a forte for the Kundiman theme, Bamboo mentored Juan very well. Edit: Totoo po, this song is a blues song but with a Kundiman theme! :) Blues po ang reason kung bakit may rock. Sa mga medyo bata pa, if you like this song so much I encourage you all to explore other Filipino music lalo na po yung mga galing sa golden age of opm rock (60s-90s) you will find out how absolutely rich we are in this part of our culture, I promise you! Mas lalawak at mas lalalim po ang inyong kaalaman sa OPM, so many gems that are waiting to be rediscovered by the new generation. Juan Dela Cruz Band, Asin, Sampaguita, Cinderella, The Wuds, The Jerks, Philippine Violators, The Dawn, Rizal Underground, Yano, Agaw Agimat... So many to mention but they will lead you to more of their kind. :D Hanapin niyo po sila and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!!!

this shit hits different while traveling at midnight

Babalikan ko ang video nato everytime na may mag like sa comment ko na to.

Bamboo you just raised a beast

🇺🇲🇨🇱🤠❤🇵🇭 loves from texas usa. Watching this during covid 19 pandemic may 2020. This song and MTV s should have more thumbs up and views

I love this song so much!!!! A friend of mine recommended me this, I'm from poland and I don't understand the lyrics but the music speaks for itself and language is not the barrier. This song is fucking beautiful

From Buwan to Ere, Iba talaga pag si Juan Karlos gumawa ng kanta! Also congrats because it's the first filipino song na nag debut sa global spotify chart!❤🎉😌

The conflict between Darren Espanto and Juan Karlos brought me here hahaha deeeyyymmm never knew this masterpiece existed wooohhhhoooo.. now a fan

It is a great song, but it was sung in every Karaoke pub in Malaysia. There was one time it was sung by 5 different people in one night..

I knew this song for a long time but this is the first time that I watch the music video. Ramdam ko yung lungkot at sakit pinapakita ni Juan Karlos sa video na ito. My wife passed away last year. Araw araw ganito ang situation ko even until now. Mas masakit pa sa lahat ng klaseng break ups or heart breaks. Ang hirap. Araw araw ka bumabangon at gumigising pero pakiramdam mo hindi ka na buo. Palaging may kulang. There are times that its hard to keep my insanity away because of what happened. Iiyak ka lang bigla habang naglilinis, kumakain, naliligo, nanunuod ng tv, nagtrarabaho (WFH), etc. Kahit sa pagtulog, dama ko yung lungkot at sakit tuwing napapaginipan ko asawa ko. Ramdam ko paninikip ng aking dibdib at pagtulo ng aking mga luha sa gilid ng akin mga mata. Kahit sobrang sakit at alam ko wala na siya, ayaw ko pa rin dumilat or magising. Bakit? Kasi yun lang mga pagkakataon maaninag ang maganda niyang mukha, marining ko boses at tawa niya, at mahawakan ang mga kamay niya. Alam ko nanaginip lang ako at wala na siya, pero mas pinili kong pumikit, tiisin ang sakit, makita ko lang siya. Maraming beses ito nangyari. Hindi isang beses lang. Every day is hell not because that I am a single father, its because It really hard to bear the sadness every time I miss my wife and that's where most of the pain is coming from. Pero kailangan ko magpakatatag and lakasan ang loob ko para sa dalawang anak namin. 6 and 5 years old pa lang sila. Sabi nga nila, life must go on. Mahal na mahal ko sila sobra, asawa ko at anak namin. Someday magkikita din kami ulit ng asawa ko. For now, ako muna dito sa mundo at bahala sa mga anak namin. Ibubuhos ko lahat ng pagmamahal ng asawa ko at pagmamahal ko sa anak namin. Sorry kung mabasa ninyo ito at may lalakeng nag eemote dito.

I’m Japanese and love this song so much 良い曲だね

after jk dropped this masterpiece, no contemporary filipino artists have ever managed to top the bar he had set.

Buwan [Moon] Translation Ako'y sa'yo, ikaw ay akin *I am yours, and you are mine* Ganda mo sa paningin *You're such a beautiful sight* Ako ngayo'y nag-iisa *and now I am feeling lonely* Sana ay tabihan na *If only you could sit beside me* Chorus: Sa ilalim ng puting ilaw *Beneath the white glow* Sa dilaw na buwan *of the yellow moon* Pakinggan mo ang aking sigaw *Can you hear my cries* Sa dilaw na buwan *[Beneath] the yellow moon* Ayokong mabuhay nang malungkot *I don't want to live a life of loneliness* Ikaw ang nagpapasaya *Because you are my happiness* At makakasama hanggang sa pagtanda *And we'll be together, until the last moment* Halina tayo'y humiga *Come, let us lay ourselves down* Chorus: Sa ilalim ng puting ilaw *Beneath the white glow* Sa dilaw na buwan *of the yellow moon* Pakinggan mo ang aking sigaw *Can you hear my cries* Sa dilaw na buwan *[Beneath] the yellow moon* (Guitar solo) Bridge: Ang iyong ganda'y umaabot sa buwan *Your elegance extends to the moon* Ang tibok ng puso'y rinig sa kalawakan *Your heartbeat can be heard interstellar* At bumabalik *And it returns* Dito sa akin *Here with me* Ikaw ang mahal *You're the one I love* Ikaw lang ang mamahalin *You're the only one that I will ever love* Pakinggan ang puso't damdamin *Listen to my heart and feel* Damdamin aking damdamin *Feel what I would feel* Chorus: Sa ilalim ng puting ilaw *Beneath the white glow* Sa dilaw na buwan *of the yellow moon* Pakinggan mo ang aking sigaw *Can you hear my cries* Sa dilaw na buwan *[Beneath] the yellow moon* Sa ilalim ng puting ilaw *Beneath the white glow* Sa dilaw na buwan *of the yellow moon* Pakinggan mo ang aking sigaw *Can you hear my cries* Sa dilaw na buwan *[Beneath] the yellow moon* (Fades) La la la la la La la la la la la Pakinggan, pakinggan, pakinggan *Listen, listen, listen* Pakinggan mo ang aking o sinta *Listen to my cries, my love* Sa dilaw na buwan *[Beneath] the yellow moon* P.S. Some parts are not as in line with the words in Filipino I want to fit the context of the lyrics, its lyricism and its poetic aesthetic to match the feel of the original song. EDIT: GOSH, THANKS FOR THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK! I didn't expect this would gain likes. You're welcome too!

Day will come, filipinos will celebrate JKs success in a variety show. Young artists, singing his songs. What a concept.

5years na pala. ang bilis lang. ngayon sikat nanaman yung ERE. JK will be a legend of opm soon

"You're a total performer and I'm a believer."- Bamboo to JK in TVKS1 Bamboo has always been right. I wonder kung anong nafifeel niya ngayon na he was JK's first mentor. Now look at JK, producing masterpieces. I bet Bamboo is proud af.

petition for karlos to make more deep songs and aesthetic yet very deep mv's. AHH IM INLOVE WITH THE CONCEPT OF THIS MUSIC VIDEO

I just realized buwan means moon in Filipino. In Indonesian moon is bulan, sounds very similar hahaha. I like this song even tho i don't understand the words (other than buwan xd) ♥️

2024 who's with me?

I don't know why but this song makes me feel old? The tune and vibe reminds me of the old days💕

This song randomly played in my mind after three years, I still remember all the memories I had with this song as if it happened yesterday and here I am listening to it again after three years.

Ito talaga yung isa sa mga kantang kahit ulit ulitin mo panuorin at pakinggan, never nakakasawa ❤

hi jk. you're doing great, always. dont mind darren and his fans. hindi ka nalaos, okay? you've been just underrated, there aint such a word as 'laos' for you mate. cheer up, pogi! we support you truly, love lots.

Seriously? I never thought that this song could make around 140 million views. It is underrated and it did notice internationally. I thought Morissette Amon was the only heading over a 100 million views but seeing this performed originally is something that Juan Carlos must be proud of.

I was reading an article about the issue between Juan Karlos and Darren and got curious on their new records.. Surprisingly I fell in love with this song! 😂

MAGANDA YUNG ERE PERO MAS GRABE TO. ASIDE FROM MAY MURA YUNG ISA, ALAM KONG DITO NAKILALA NG HUSTO SI JK AND MY LOLA LOVES TO HEAR ME SINGING THIS OCCASIONALLY!

Wala eh nagfocus kasi tayo sa mga mahihilig kumanta ng matataas kaya hindi natin napapansin yung ganito kagandang kanta Goodjob JK and sa team nyo.

i don't understand the language but the music and vocal are too good

Hello 👋 from Cambodia 🇰🇭 I don't understand the language but I really love this song ❤️❤️❤️

NAPAKA POGI NI JK DATI 😭 pogi padin now pero iba yung aura niya dati

Love turned to obsession. Obsession turned to corruption. Corruption turned to insanity. What an underrated artist.

Juan Karlos's "Buwan" music video is very deep and at the same time creepy (and a bit sick). Kung papakinggan mo ang tono at ritmo, ang swabe nga naman, pang Ely Buendia ang dating. Panglove story yung melody nya. Pero once na nakita mo yung kabuuang music video along with the lyrics, oh damn. "Buwan" is not referring to "love". JK is referring about the full moon that makes him go crazy (diba kapag sinasabi nilang full moon, nasisiraan tayo ng bait). Maureen (ASNTM winner), the girl in the video, is actually a succubus (female demon that seduces men in their sleep). The girl he's inlove with is not actually real but a demon that he doesn't want to let go (kaya nakita n'yo na tinali si Maureen). It's a song about possessive love. Kaya si JK nabubuang kapag wala na si Maureen kasi nga dahil sa Buwan, tsaka sa pag aakala niyang nakawala si Maureen kung saan siya itinali. It all goes down to this-hindi tao si Maureen. She's a demon seductress. Notice the darkness in her face sa ending part. Yikes. PSA: This is a personal interpretation. My interpretation might be different from yours. If you have some different thoughts, share 😊 Ctto

how can juan karlos stay in silent in music industry for a while and then rise up like maaaaan. JK how?

5년전 들었던 이노래 바기오에서❤

I interpreted the music video as what love can turn you into. In this case, he turned into a lunatic. The part about obsessing over her by tying her up on a chair, giving him a sense of control and bliss that she won't go anywhere gave that away. But in the end, it was just all him. His obsession has made him lose control and let love(the girl) take over him. But obsession is not love, so you see him doing all those things by himself. So it looks like he's in control, but in reality, he is letting himself be controlled by love. Obsession fueled by love is scary, man. LOVE is GRAY, people! Love is gray, so be careful where it goes. EDIT: I am probably not gonna get bored hearing this song. *Well* *done!*

I am impressed with his vocals, I can really say that JK got his real genre and image as an artist. This kind of music that I like to sing wherever I am kahit sa jeep.

after listening to this song, I got to know about another beautiful, magical language(Tagalog)! internet is really like magic!! [N.B.: never heard this language before]

Philippines is an amazing country!! I'm from Malaysia, but I love your Philippines very much. From the people, the culture, to the food to this song. Everything is great!! Is anyone listening to this song also me?!❤❤

Now this is the teen celebrity who truly loves music, truly loves OPM. He deserves better recognition than other artists who just- argh, nvm.

I love this song! Even I don’t understand a word , but I listen to this everyday 💕, much love to Philippines 🇵🇭 and its sweet people 🤗 I love Philippines 🇵🇭 🤗

The best song ive ever heard..even i don't understand..but the music very classic.. greetings from malaysia.🇲🇾🇲🇾

It's been five years. College days and this made a huge impact in my college life. So happy that I get to listen to this masterpiece again

The GREATEST is always the underrated. No wonder JK Labajo is always behind those who only goes by the mainstream

This song becomes a hit here in Indonesia 😂 and i can't sing it perfectly!

Diko maintindihan bat may nag sasabing o.a pagkaka kanta. Pero sa totoo lang napaka ganda ng kanta. Napaka galing pagkaka kanta. Isa to sa pinaka magandang kantang maririnig mo nowadays lalo na kung marunog ka mag appreciate ng totoong musika. From lyrics to singer to music video. Ayos na ayos. Masterpiece to.

Happy *177M views* to every pinoy na patuloy ini-stream itong mv!

can we all take a moment and just appreciate maureen's facial expressions

Nice to see that JK produce good music instead of doing some revivals. I’m not saying that I don’t enjoy revivals because I do. But sometimes it is really good to hear new music because you will feel the real emotion of the writer of the song. Thanks to Bamboo as well as he knew that JK is no ordinary voice and he will produce something beautiful that many can relate.

First song I ever heard in the Philippines and by far the best song I’ve ever heard, so melancholic ☝️🇵🇭🇯🇵

August 2024 anyone? 💖👋

Ito yung kantang di kukupas kahit gaano na katagal. Tatak OPM talaga. Kundiman blues at napaka naked, napaka puro. Let's all give JK the top spot he deserves. Yung lyrical content ng sistema at demonyo, jusko di mo aakalain galing sa isip ng 17 years old.

I don’t know this guy, I don’t know what he‘s saying but damn is this a good song

Di ko trip dati kinakanta nitong batang to sa the voice pero ngayon parang sya na ang pinaka magaling sa mga naging kasabayan nya. Buti mas nagfocus sya sa Rock. Napaka lupit ng tunog ng gitara. Mala Slow rock ng 80's-90's. Ang ganda ng kantang to. Sana mas marami pang ganitong genre ang gawin nya. Great song. Rock rules \../

I'm Mexican and I love this song Soy Mexicana y me encanta esta canción

One of my best Phillipino friend sang to me this music and i cannot stop to listening💙 from Uzbekistan🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Soon OPM will conquer millennials playlists. Against all foreign competitors in music industry, OPM reigns in its own people.

Thank you every one... keep coming back and keep on viewing and supporting BUWAN

Ito talaga yung maganda timbre ng boses kaso mas pinansin nila sa derren kasi bumibirit pero ngayong grown up na sila lumabas din kung sino totoong angat sa voice quality

Bamboo raised a beast. Continue soaring JK!

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine JK's voice would mature like this.

So I just got back from backpacking in the Philippines 🇵🇭 with my friends. It so happened during our last night we had a dinner at Chikos Peruvian Roast Chicken MOA the waiter played this song. Although I don’t understand the lyrics but this song got my attention. I got the song title from the waiter and he even explained to me what’s this song about. Ever since that night I just loved this song 🥰 I keep listening to this song during my flight back home. Yuhuuu with love from Malaysia 🇲🇾 And yes this song makes me wanna go back to Manila 😭

Sino pumunta dito pag katapos makinig sa ere wala lang proud lang ako na my jk sa mundo patuloy Kalang sa buhay jk

This is very raw, but surely something that must top the music charts. The lyrics are well-written, and the song is indeed a masterpiece. Hands down to you, JK and to the production team!

Thank you to those who bashed him. lot's of people discovered how great he is as a singer. GodBless JK

Tang ina but this has some sinister strike para sakin, ang ganda. I'm not saying na maganda mag karoon nang toxic relationship pero for me lang ha, abnormal kasi ako and I like reading all things dark and grey, this music gives more edge and I can see, possessiveness, obsession, the twisted love they had for each other, and of course the end piont which leads into insanity. But then the one who Made up this music video tell the audience that's it's up to them on how and what they're point of view will be in this. It's like a painting being presented in a gallery show. So for me this video shows how either a Schizophrenic or Psychopath or sociopath " love " which is really an obsession, the ending portraying him as the one being bound means he was already succumbed by his obsession that it already renders him a prisoner of his own addiction.

Bakit ang lalalim ng mga kahulugan ng mga kanta ni JK na parang pasok na pasok sa mga nararanasan ko ngayon HEHE 😉

This is song is like an abstract painting. It has a democratic kind of meaning because of its deepness. It's a masterpiece.

This is what happens when you stay away from mainstream.

This is really nostalgic. Years have passed, still can't get over this masterpiece. Love from Makati✨🤣

Just watched ere and a song with zild. Andaming artists na underrated mas sumisikat yung mga puro pogi at ganda lang talent tapos papakantahin. Grabe coach bamboo lumikha ka ng isang HALIMAW NA ARTIST NAPAKAGALENG NG TAONG TO. Jk ❤️

THE OPM MILLENIAL STYLE ❤ I saw a 50year old man listening to this and he keeps on playing it. Salute!

based sa mga tweets ni JK, it shows to me that he's the more mature one between the two of them. yeah he uses a lot of profanity but can i blame him? sumosobra na mga fans ni darren to the point sinasali nila ang mga magulang ni jk? wtf? he worked hard for where he is right now. KEEP BEING YOU JK AND STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF.

PUtangina eto pala yung kanta na dalawang oras, nonstop, na pinapatugtog ng kapitbahay namen. nakarepeat one. tapos ngayon ako naman.

Anyone in 2024 that came back to listen this song?

i can’t understand a f word but i love this song🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 love from italy 🇮🇹🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

I super regret the times I ignored this on my recommended lists ..NOW ITS MY FAVEEE T_T

maraming salamat sa 38,984,585 views as of 11:01 pm today 12/10/2018.ty guys',

"The song is called “Buwan” because “luna” means “moon” and the word itself means lunatic, which Juan Karlos portrays in the music video"

Im leaving this comment here, so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this masterpiece song.

If theres a Grammy in the Phil. This would win Record of the year or Song of the year. This is an influence of 90s pinoy band like eraserheads. Very Filipino in a true sense♥️♥️♥️

August 2024 anyone still listening to this master piece..?😊

Nice melody. Eventhough dont understand this song all about. But still enjoy this melody. From Malaysia🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

He really is the best The Voice Alumni. Darren is definitely best in terms of vocals but JK's artistry is way better. And he definitely find his own style.

The moon is often associated with lunacy, hence the name. The real antagonist here is the moon, as revealed in the last few minutes of the video where JK was under the "influence" of the moon. It can also be assumed that Maureen's role, a girl in white dress, was a personification of the moon (i.e. captivating, alluring, mystical, white). This video is so well done I had to comment some of my thoughts here. Kudos!
