Glaiza de Castro collaborates with Irish BF to compose song for frontliners

Glaiza de Castro has collaborated with her Irish boyfriend to compose a song for frontliners battling the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

In Lhar Santiago's report for "24 Oras," Glaiza said her beau, David Rainey, helped her with the lyrics and the melody for the song they called "Ode To The New Heroes."

"Kasi may mga times na nagkakaroon ako ng writer's block. Nakakagulat na meron siyang mga ideas and suggestions," she said.

Glaiza posted a three-minute video of them performing the song on Instagram.

During the first few weeks of the quarantine, @david_rainey89 and I tried to make a song with our frontliners in mind. But it took a little while to convince him to sing with me on this video as he’s still a bit shy???? Anyway, this is the least that we can do while we’re here. We all have different ways to cope, help and support and we hope we are able to share positivity amidst uncertainty through this. Thank you to @rona_pie for the song title suggestion ???? You are the ones that bring light to our eyes You are the ones that we recognize When all of this is over, and we finally won the fight We will all stand up together and see what it’s like Chorus: You’ve done enough, we won’t be shaken cause you’ve made us feel better You’ve opened all the doors It’s time to go, the world is waiting There is no danger that you can’t face You’ve risked something that can’t be replaced Whoever you’ve left that was broken Will be all following your trace Cause you’ve brought us all together whatever it takes

"It took a little while to convince him to sing with me on this video as he’s still a bit shy," she said about David.

But Glaiza said it wasn't hard to get her beau to collaborate with her on the song itself.

"Mahilig na talaga kaming kumanta," she said. "Hindi mahirap para sa amin na mapagkasunduan 'yung pag-collab, parang it came naturally."

According to Glaiza, the song was the least they could do amid the threat of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

"We all have different ways to cope, help and support and we hope we are able to share positivity amidst uncertainty through this," she said. —MGP, GMA News
