Vilmark shares inspiration behind debut single 'Paraya'
Vilmark's first penned single "Paraya" under GMA Music will be released on Friday, August 26.
GMA Music artist Vilmark is set to release his first self-penned single titled "Paraya" this Friday, August 26.
In an interview, the Kapuso singer revealed the inspiration behind his debut single, which he wrote earlier this year while battling COVID-19.
"Nakakahinayang po kasi ang tagal ng quarantine. Wala kang gagawin, nasa loob ka lang ng kuwarto. So siyempre kapag wala kang ginagawa papasok 'yung anxiety, depression.
"Pero sayang 'yung oras. With the help of my handler, sabi namin, 'Sige sulat tayo ng kanta habang wala tayong ginagawa. Tapos i-try nating ipa-approve kung ma-a-approve.' Thank God napa-approve namin 'yung song and ito ilalabas na po siya," he shared.
According to Vilmark, "Paraya" is based on his past relationship. It is about letting go of the girl he loved who had already fallen in love with another guy.
"This is based on my experience kaya 'yung hugot medyo nandu'n talaga. Galing ito sa isang failed relationship."
Vilmark also shared lessons he learned from his past relationship. He said, "Before you love someone, matuto mong mahalin ang sarili mo muna para at least mas maging handa ka at open sa magiging karelasyon mo. Kasi ayaw mong maging unfair na hindi ka buo kapag nagmahal ka.
"Kapag ka hindi talaga para sa 'yo and nakita mong mayroon na siyang gustong iba, huwag mo nang ipilit 'yung sarili mo kasi masasaktan ka lang. Kasi there's no reason na ipinagpalit ka kung sa tingin niya is nagmamahalan pa kayo. If ipinagpalit ka meaning hindi na kayo para sa isa't isa so it's better to move on, move forward, and mas makilala mo 'yung sarili mo. Hopefully dumating ulit 'yung God's greatest gift para sa 'yo."
The singer-songwriter from Pampanga was one of the finalists in the fourth season of GMA Network's all-original singing competition The Clash.
