1. "Unstable"
We are unstable, but we are inseparable.
Autotelic's"Unstable," depicts a relationship that keeps on dropping bombs, and refusing ceasefire but stays together anyway. It's all about working out amid the imperfections and misunderstandings.

2. "Sila"
Walang sagot sa tanong kung bakit ka mahalaga… Walang papantay sa'yo.
SUD's "Sila," is about love that's beyond compare. Loving doesn't mean that both of you should have a label as "bf" or "gf." It means understanding, learning and loving even if that other person couldn't love you back.

3. "Accidents"
Calling out the animal inside you!
Do you ever feel alone and single? Because this song would bring out the best in you. This isn't about being with someone, but seeing yourself in a different perspective, and releasing that animal inside of you — the real you. This song is usually the Cheats' final song in their gigs. It has this indie-pop bearing and vibe that will make you sing along.

4. "Rough Skies"
Let's talk and walk, oh we're not quitting.
Farewell Fair Weather's, "Rough Skies" gives that jazzy vibe in this song. This is all about working out, and taking everything easy. Everything can be settled through talks, and a chill attitude towards your partner. Communication and understanding plays a big part in a relationship.

5. "Nagsasawa ka na ba?"
Nasasakal ka na ba? Paghanap ko sa 'yo…
You first heard it through Tales from the Friend Zone.
Eggboy's "Nagsasawa ka na ba?" became an instant hit when it was first released. This song is about a hopeless romantic who falls in love with a bubbly girl who did not feel the same towards him. Diego Mapa ditched the Casio keyboard tones with a lo-fi drum machine, and an acoustic guitar redo that's too charming not to listen to.

6. "Hologram"
You could see and you can hear me, but you can never touch me
This song can be about long-distance relationships or people from the past who broke our hearts but we keep on loving them anyway. This fun pop-rock song is about loving someone whom you can't be with in real life. Dhruva Tara's

"Hologram" does a fine job in spinning gold from the decade that gave us "The Day You Said Goodnight" or "Balisong", polishing the radio-friendly pop fodder with unassuming gift for hooks and sunbeam romp while also standing as a relief to the mediocrity we've come to hear in most bands tagged under the 'pop rock' or 'mainstream rock' format, said a review from Vandals on the Wall.
7. "You know the answer, just follow the leader"
People are all just humans, and they all just wanna be closer…
Ciudad's "You Know The Answer, Just Follow The Leader" is an indication that this band might be "grappling the onset of middle age slowly but surely, kicking out the ragged young in them with a lot of questions and uncertainties." [- Vandals on the Wall] (http://vandalsonthewall.com).
No one wants to be alone right? We all wanna have someone special. Finding someone with the same wavelength could be a challenge, but it all boils down to just enjoying the ride!

8. "Is this Love"
Dim the lights, you're mine tonight… And the clothes are on the floor…
Attraction and seduction. This song from Jensen and the Flips will make you feel sexy in every way. "Is This Love" shares sensual smoothness that will leave listeners swooning with the song's hypnotic grooves.

9. "Put to Waste"
Alay sa 'tin ng tadhana ang perwisyo at sumpa na naging mas makahulugan ang buhay noong tayo'y naging magkakilala.
Bullet Dumas' "Put to Waste," is a song that creates beauty in leaving, and not being meant to be — but holding onto memories.

Bullet Dumas uses the primal unpretentiousness of that word and creates something life-changing out of its undersized beauty. The prolific singer-songwriter finds potent new ways to conjure romantic resonance in captivating tender form, but somehow makes it distinctly at odds with the conventions of a love song even if he sings candidly about the feeling that romantic high evokes, the fleeting joy and pain that it brings behind bars. – Vandals on the Wall
The author asked Dumas in one of his gigs about his song "Put to Waste," and to whom it is dedicated. He smiled and said that this heartbreaking song is for his students (Dumas is a mathematics teacher btw). They played a big role in his life, yet he knows that he will meet another set of students the next school year — which made him sad — that led him to write the song. Leaving doesn't mean you loved them less. It's when you remember it and you feel warm from the inside; instantly it becomes immortalized.
