Chasing After The Sun (NSTP Activity)

[@SalmonMidori]

CHASING AFTER THE SUN LYRICS By: Midori I open up my eyes and see A lot of peeps up for candidacy Little did people know Most of them are just for show When I was eighteen I used to wonder What kind of person I wanted as a leader Now elections are coming near I'll tell you who I want, come and hear Hmmm.. Among millions of roses, I desire one Not thorny, but as bright as the sun It shines even in the darkest alleys A hope among the starving bees What do I mean oh, what do I mean? I want one with goodness outside and in With concern for the poor That his pure intentions endure I open up my eyes and see Sick people in mind and in body Little did people know Universal healthcare is just for show When I was twenty five I used to wonder With meds free, no need to curse this country Oh I wish, there's is somebody with this advocacy Among millions of seashells, I desire one Not pricey but could get the job done Doesn't fade, even if it gets washed away Even in the deepest ocean it can stay What do I mean oh what do I mean? I want someone not with a thick skin A person with a firm resolve That most of our problems he can solve Now I'm twenty nine, I feel so old But this time I will be bold I'll never let my vote be sold Even if my body gets cold, cold. Cause I want somebody who can really lead Who can make this country worth to be lived These are the few things I desire For that somebody who can light the fire So whoever you are who will run I shall support you under the sun I'll research and get the job done To seek you, my only one.

this needs more engagement!!! huhu need makita ng mga politically unaware. sa lahat ng nakapanood neto, please vote wisely. do a thorough background check who is capable or not and who are really deserving of positions and not just for clout. i rlly hope we learned from our previous mistakes. :)))

[@SalmonMidori]

Thanks, and true that! ❤

The video and its message is very informative, it discusses the current struggle of the Philippines in terms of Politics. Kailangan magising ng mga tao na binigyan tayo ng pagkakataon pumili ng ating mga mamumuni, kaya mahalagang pagisipan nang mabuti ang pipiliin. Hindi lang dahil "kilala" o "sikat, kundi dapat ring tignan ang intensyon at magagawa nila para sa bansa.

[@mxo03]

Great video. Very informative. Great choice of sounds and visuals.

[@YokohamaAkuma]

Very cool! It's very important that people vote wisely and do their own research. Not just listening to the news telling them who to vote how they do it in America. That's something we should all avoid. We need to vote FOR someone not AGAINST someone if you know what I mean. Btw the images used are cute:)

[@hotch-e2y]

this song should be a wake-up call for all of us

[@Garrettstoddard]

I can tell you spent some time putting this all together. I think it's important to remind people we need unity in this crazy world we live in and by relating to the people watching you really grabbed people's attention

[@SalmonMidori]

thanks Garrett! I agree and it's such a shame people lack awareness of how important it is to discern for the sake of everyone his/her best bet in the government. yeah we think dfferently and some make bad decisions in choosing who's gonna be sitting which sucks.

[@kichi7460]

Good job, this video shows so much and is a great eye opener for people that will vote!!

[@charleskennethpiscantechar4097]

Yeah, Health Care in the Ph sucks, We need a leader that cares for the people & not Corrupt. Also the song is a banger

[@Thatkid_kei]

These lyrics really resonate with me because they capture the frustration I’ve been feeling about politics. When I was younger, I used to wonder what kind of leader we needed, someone who genuinely cared for the poor and had good intentions. But now, as I look around at all the candidates, I realize so many of them are just in it for show. They make big promises, especially about things like healthcare, but in reality, nothing changes, and the people who need help the most are left struggling. It feels like those in power don’t really care about the sick and poor, and that’s disheartening.

[@saha-z7f]

The lyrics beautifully capture the struggles and hopes of citizens. It's a call to action for all of us to research and vote wisely.

[@giraffedragon6110]

Bloody mood. Sometimes it feels like your options are bad and worse. To anyone that reads this, I wish you a wonderful day, and a relaxing evening.

[@SalmonMidori]

Glad there's someone out there who can relate. Have a good day to you too! 😊

[@wldcoder]

This song is a powerful reminder of the importance of choosing the right leaders. The lyrics really resonate with me, especially the part about desiring a candidate who shines like the sun. 🌞

[@Miko-e2y]

I admire how you come up with the ideas and lyrics. How you connect the pictures in the video together with the lyrics. This really showed how politics sucks in our country hahaha.

[@abigailcarganilla9432]

Great song, i hope people vote wisely this time❤️

[@sn0nii-chan396]

very lovely

[@XavierhaTrixy1107]

This song serves as a potent reminder of how crucial it is to select the best leaders. The line about wanting a candidate that shines like the sun struck a chord with me in particular.

Your song could provide a powerful commentary on the current political climate in the Philippines, using a mix of emotional appeal and cultural references to inspire awareness and action among listeners.

[@sakuramoon8299]

I really love this!!

[@Deetroiter]

Very powerful 👍

[@SalmonMidori]

@@Deetroiter thank u deet! :> hope all is well with the campaign ongoing there in US

[@pocobuko]

Wow, the metaphor of the sun as a good candidate is so inspiring! We definitely need leaders who bring light and hope to our lives

[@rafaelvicentemarquez4167]

A clean vote is choosing clean candidates better than proper shading of the ovals in the ballot.

[@SalmonMidori]

@@rafaelvicentemarquez4167 I agree! But I think both should work together. Otherwise the right candidate can't win. Vote wisely and Shade properly indeed!! 😆😆

[@rafaelvicentemarquez4167]

Even if the ovals in the ballot are properly shaded but the voter choosed dirty candidates, it is called dirty vote.

[@champarado]

Hoping that our countrymen will open up their eyes to see the reality. Very timely song! ❤🎉

[@assaun]

This has such a great message, intentions and very clear advocacy for a good leader that can help our country!! I love this so much

[@ryozaki9809]

I love how to song conveys a compelling message about leadership and the need for universal healthcare. The lyrics reflect a desire for true leaders who emphasize the well-being of our people, highlighting the value of sincerity and compassion in politics. It's a sad reminder of our responsibilities as voters to look for candidates who can actually make a difference. The combination of roses and seashells beautifully captures the desire for leaders to shine amid difficult circumstances.

[@soya_riki6155]

I really like how the message conveys to real life situation on how we should open our eyes and choose thr rightful leader for our contry to provide for its people. Leaving a good message and impact to people to choose the right leader to govern the country

[@ellaasdfghjk]

The song is amazing because it conveys a strong message about the need for authentic leadership and moral integrity. It also encourages listeners to be knowledgeable and proactive in supporting leaders who genuinely care about their communities.

[@kleetouris]

this song really speaks to me as a student who also involves herself in discussions about politics and leadership. the shift from being an idealistic student to a more socially-aware adult is something i want to become. i can also relate to the frustrations especially now that its the election season and everyone just thinks they can simply file their certificates of candidacy. this should hopefully become an eye-opener to young voters to be more involved with whats happening to us right now and i wish that the youth will be able to recognize the importance of their voice in the society.

[@mabela8881]

I like the video,it is true.Were looking for a true leader who will serve the poor . But as time goes by,still we could not find that true leader.

[@devnobosaha5507]

This hits hard! We need leaders with true light.

[@kristineee_22]

[@itsmeruuna]

gsto kong kandidato yung di epal and showy. simple lang pero malupit magpatakbo ng bansa. makapagresearch nga din kung cnu psok s timba. 😂

[@any4al3x1s]

I love how it describe what’s really happening in our country, elections and our government. Tbh, the elections that are happening now are fricked up, I hope this video can go viral and it can open people’s eyes on our going election.

[@SerenaHermosa-n9i]

Nice educational video

[@sylvester0221]

Nice song that is an eye opener for us to vote for the right leader for our country. A wise choice that can lead to positive change, effective governance, and a reflection of our values. Each vote matters in ensuring we elect someone who truly represents our interests and vision.

[@lemmyreddit]

[@amiakowo]

I love how the song emphasizes the need for universal healthcare and genuine leadership. It's a message that needs to be heard by everyone.

[@seioftheeast]

i appreciate the well thought out lyrics and positive tone. its quite witty! agree ako sa healthcare advocacy niya. saka the need for research yeah, kasi minsan panay salita lang mga pulitiko. the video is fun and the song sounds good. todo effort ah!

[@SalmonMidori]

@@seioftheeast Matututunan ko naman pano gumawa ng batas pag nanalo ako. 🤪🫠 Salamat!

[@ouroboros9120]

[@Gstatic-y8r]

Bad leaders make this country shit, we need good leaders FR FR

[@SalmonMidori]

also uninformed voters who choose such candidates make this country worse so it's better to be well informed :>

[@PadZap-z7y]

Bad leaders bad Philippines, good leaders happy Philippines, as simple as math

[@sparklingPixiedust]

[@mendesvel]

rofl Cant say for certain my vote's gunna be for the best. This place is cooked. Debate between harris and trump's a fuckin circus play. appreciated tho.

[@glarsirmaria384]

it feels like you're looking for a leader, someone who cares about people. I feel like you criticize those who try to present themselves because they're trash. You express an idealism and curious values, implying that there are social concerns that matter to you, such as health. I feel like your song is very mature. With all this, I want to think about the importance of choosing a leader with moral integrity, committed to his people, and that empty promises are useless because they lead to ruin. I think I understand that it's a warning to avoid political manipulation. I hope I'm not wrong, honey....

[@SalmonMidori]

Your thoughts are really appreciated and I believe you're not wrong. To me your opinion makes sense!
